Darn near anything that is said to shorten a proper term,
or an attempt to be cool.


And I never have felt the need to shoot lights, or dimes.

"I took a sound shot!" - some Bubba puts his rifle on his hip and cranks one into the woods because "he heard something". Always claims that he hit a deer "but couldn't find it".

But it's a little low at 1300, heard that from a fud at the gun shop counter describing zeroing his 270 pump with 180 gram bullets.

Sub MOA out of the box

Action's a little sticky

Gravely

Safe wear

Winded me

Scrub

Hunted one time and back in the safe / Safe queen

Does it take AR mags?

Hair trigger

Flutted

Had a friend that used to talk about his "old two pipe". And a Talley Wacker used to be a Muskie bait make over in Wisconsin. Good surface lure.

Woofs kilt them all,

"Voted for Tester and I'm a conservative"

7 em em.....she shoot flat to about 4 hunnert, then rises up a bit.

You guys have hit my highlights for sure, but I have to throw another 1000 votes out there for "send it".............All the keyboard sniper/spotter types love it

Those that think “sale” is a verb.

Never understood why people use the term “grouping”

Some day I need to tell the story of my old hunting partner. He used to start talking about taking sound shots to those who didn't know him when ever he wanted to thin some of the hunters out of his neck of the woods.
His name was Norman and he had a big red nose to match his brown brandy bottle in his back pocket full of water.

"I shoot a (fill in the blank), because I don't want to track them."

When self-proclaimed "experts" use ballistic/projectile information incorrectly - most common is SD - sectional density (not Standard Deviation which is a term related to statistics and useful for evaluating velocity consistency).

So, the phouck-tard wanna-be expert presumes that SD is the end-all, be-all measurement for determining a given bullets effectiveness on game (as if the dimensional relationships actually determine rigidity of a projectile..... they sorta forgot that rigidity of a projectile is primarily determined by it's materials and construction...duh).

And nearly as bad is when they concoct relationships between terms like BC - ballistic coefficient, SD, and presume those dreamed-up relationships actually have some "real-world" basis in fact....when they obviously do not....

Also, prideful old gits who think they know something, but actually forgot most of what they larned 30 years ago and blend the rest into some strongly-held scientific treatise based on empirically determined physics (resulting in wanton self-reflection.....like right now. ugh).

Airborne!

Anything 270, Texas heart shot, dink, holy'er than tho hypocrites,

This is the funniest post ever.

That guy is a genius. He figured out that a .270 Win. is adequate for small deer but inadequate for larger deer. He was promoted after that discovery, which saved lots of hunters incalculable grief. Now only hunters who go looking for dinks will carry a .270 Win. Hunters who look for trophy deer will know better.

Well, it's bettrr than "pattern."

Hard to believe any of us talk to each other without resorting to fist fights....

#Grumpy Old Men

Not big on naming deer, there are however, exceptions I believe.

Had a buck around where I hunt we tried to kill for YEARS...eventually started calling him "Old Frosty Nuts"(not sure who came up with that name). Found him(or what we assumed was him) dead in a fence row squirrel hunting, apparently of old age, not a mark on him.

I also find it funny when people say deer are hard to kill, the big, smart ones can be hard to spot. It does not however, take a howitzer with a 20x scope to kill them.
