Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rifle Hunting Safety Question

People should never sweep their guide or PH or other hunters in the group with the muzzle,
people who are guilty of that are likely now telling others not to glass in the distance with the
rifle scope....chuckle.

I use the rifle scope to glass game on vast tracts of remote area private property...If someone
ends up in my lense its their problem because they are trespassing.

If they are on a paid hunting lease i figure the are after horny bucks, not hunters. I meet folkx from mexico, africa, and dope run colleges every day on the hwy who are a lot more dangerous than a paying hunter in a welfare paid F250 travelling past a few feet away at a 150 mph differential. Can you not keep your finger off the trigger and the rifle on safe scanning a ridge 600 yds away

All i would ask of a greenhorn doing the same is that if he decides to pull the trigger is that he tries really hard to aim at me.

A rifle scope is for directing the bullet NOT for identifying game or people. Years ago I bit the bullet and spent the money for a pair of Swarovski binoculars, I wouldn't go hunting without them.

Pointing guns at random things is generally a bad idea. Loaded ones even more so.

People who are libs who suck cock like you should choke on it and die. This means you, starman.

I notice hypocrite christian JagX is immersed in his obsessive homosexual thoughts again.



I wonder how many people dry fire and/or shoulder a rifle to look through the scope in the home den or back shed..
all while the muzzle is pointed at something they don't intend to shoot.

Did you study, or is it a natural born talent?

Those are the stupid people you just mentioned!

Question,...do you think the majority of people with snap-caps for their pistols and shotguns dry fire at home or only
at the safety of a designated range?

I have no doubt that there are those who say 'don't glass with the scope'..but will point and dry-fire firearms at home,
and in all likelihood have also swept people with the muzzle while hunting.

The few times I've had someone use their scope to "look" at me I return the favor, and they always seem to skulk away after that.

I don't want someone using a scope scanning in my direction so I better not be doing it in their direction.

I hunt public land. Well, often Native lands, too. I'm not Native American, but most of those folks don't care. Up here. Some do.

Regardless, if you scope me, expect incoming.

You are an ass!

interesting that a person deemed as an armed trespasser of private lands would call me an ass for
pointing a gun at him.....then as the trespasser decide to open fire.

A for sure no no in Oregon's text and a test question as well. We teach one that they "never" point a firearm at anything they do not intend to shoot regardless of the firearms assumed state.

The first two of Coopers 4 rules;
RULE 1
ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

RULE 2
NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY

I don't think any conditions were given as to when a person can use a scope for glassing, such as trespassing.

To answer in the general sense, I don't like rifles pointed at me. Get some damn binoculars....

If I were trespassing on private property and I scoped someone that was scoping me ...

I'd pull the trigger.




Hey Starman,

Wanna go huntin' ?

You would use your scope to glass?....you sound just like me....except for the trespass bit.

Armed trespassers objecting to having a gun pointed at them....go figure

When it say "Don't Walk" ...

I run.
