I see the internet badasses are still struggling for significance. Rick is brilliant for letting it go on though...it gives them a place to go, away from the grownups.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Ya know, it could well be that if the old timers saw all the stuff we use to take game in this day and age---and I'm talking about fine optics, hot dog rounds like the Ultra Mags, high-tech rifles, GPS, and all that stuff, they might say "that ain't hunting!" Outside of the campfire, not as many folks use those things as you'd think. I've killed most of my deer over the years with a pair of lever action .30-30's. One scoped and one iron sighted. I do own a gps but have never used it, a Christmas gift from a well meaning aunt years ago. I've never used a game cam in my life and the only magnum rifle in my inventory is a .22 rimfire magnum. Hell my best friend and life long hunting partner kills more deer than CWD and still uses an old Mossberg slug gun most of the time. Nothing would surprise me. I'm sure there are guys out there who have used only muzzle loaders, and I'm sure there are guys who wouldn't use anything but a 14-pound tacti-cool with a 20x FFP mil/mil scope. Different strokes for different folks.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

I find it funny that some Floridian "Mr. Mom" has the nerve to call anyone else a queer as he lets his wife bring home the bacon and is the boss of his house. You probably wear her panties also although I am sure you are such a little puss that you would never tell her. Able bodied men work and support their families and don't stay at home and sponge off the wife. Also funny are the guys from the Pacific Northwest thinking they have the right to attack anyone. They live in such $hithole States and probably always will. How typically liberal. "We are right and everyone else is wrong. You have to do things the way we want of you are wrong. Period". Sound familiar? Ya'll are all a bunch of whiney a$$ self important bitches that I will add to my ignore list since I have no tolerance for the likes of ya'll. Bunch of pathetic losers. I wouldn't put up with your crap around a real camp fire and I darn sure won't here.
Jim Damn but Texans are kghunty. Nope. Just tired of the BS from certain Aholes. Both northeast and northwest. Lot of good folks out there too but I am talking to those who are true blue aholes. They might even be smart enough to know who they are. Though doubtful. Also, please do stay in PA. We sure as hell don't need or want you here. That's YOU personally.

As I posted earlier, I don't put out corn, because it's a waste of my money to do so here. There's just too much other food for the deer to eat, and I've never seen a benefit. If I lived somewhere else, I might think differently about it.
As far as other things go, we all have our likes and dislikes. I prefer hunting with a bolt action rifle, others like levers, pumps, or AR's.......and I've used all of those at one time or another. I used to bow hunt, and killed several deer with a bow, but don't hunt now because of shoulder problems. Personally, I think bow hunters lose a lot of the deer that they shoot, and don't admit to it. I also can't get real excited about hunting with a muzzleloader, as it's gone from the primitive kind of hunting that it once was, to using rifles that do not fit the muzzleloader/black powder definition IMO. I'll admit that I had more fun hunting with my open sighted Hawken style rifle, as I do my scoped black powder rifle that will shoot accurately out to 200 yards.
Also, it's the same way with deer stands. I built the first tree stand in my part of the country when I was a 15 year old kid. Nobody around here had heard of anyone nailing planks to a tree in order to sit in and wait for a deer to come by. I went from that to using the climbing stands, where if you let that climber slide off your feet, you were left hanging to that tree......and I know how it felt. I went from building ladder stands out of wood, so heavy it took a tractor to move it into location, to using the lightweight metal ones today. These days, I mostly hunt out of my elevated shooting house, totally enclosed, and have a propane heater to keep warm. I have froze my azz off enough, and don't have a desire to sit out in a tree, in the wet and cold......but I have, many, many times.
While I was once all about killing something, I've reached a stage in my life when it's more important to me for the grandkids to do the shooting, with me just along for the ride. That's just me, others may see it differently. But, I don't think you should knock another guy's method, as long as they're legal. Yes, some of it may be unethical, and sooner or later, it'll catch up with him, and he'll have to pay the price, it usually does. The best thing is to just do what you think is best for you, and don't worry about the other guy.

I like to bow hunt, I’m beginning to feel bad for hunting by my feeders.

I've said all along: during the upcoming CWII a firefight will falter because our side stands up to start arguing about beans/or not for the chili supper that night.

I feel blessed that we have our own land in the family for hunting. Gives a place for my father, myself and my kids to go and hunt. I try to take out some new hunters every year, just to get them into the sport and interested.

I killed this javelina using an electronic call. Before I did so,I called the G&F Dept in Las Cruces to ask if it was legal to do so and they said "yes,it was legal." Tell you what,that was exciting hearing the javelina grunting coming in to the call. Did you read this thread? Not all of it. Sheee it. I knew there was something wrong. I did, in a fit of forgetfullness that after 3 pages we just skip to the last page and post whatever we want anyhow. OH, nice pig Ken!! So, to define: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Hunting+definition&t=ffsb&ia=definitionLots of definitions there, all over the place. One of them references the Brits, apparently some of whom consider hunting to be the chasing of foxes and such with dogs and horses. Killing game with guns is called shooting in some circles there. I've sat/stood in a tree stand watching trails in NW PA, it wasn't fun and it was downright cold one morning, even with an insulated suit and pac boots on. I've sat alongside logs/rocks watching trails and it was about as much fun as the ones in PA. I've sat watching waterholes in the desert SW too. I'd likely have been diagnosed with ADD or some sh--t when I was kid, but that didn't happen then. I have a hard time sitting for hours anywhere and keeping concentration. So I mostly still hunt, or stop and glass for a bit. After an hour of that stuff, without seeing much, I'm going for a walk. Now, If I was invited to a hunt in TX out of a box blind over the mesquite thickets, I'd probably take someone up on it..............assuming that if I didn't see anything after a while, even a pig or cull buck, I might have to go on a walkabout and check out the scenery, look for tracks, birds, javelina, snakes and coatis. Everyone "hunt" they way they want, as long as you're not in a 1/2 acre enclosure with a high fence stocked with the "game animal" of the day. I believe in fair chase, and if you're hunting from a blind and the critters can decide not to walk in front of your porthole, so be it. Geno PS what the heck is with this language problem we have here. Sit and set are two different words. I set crap on a table, I set up a stand or blind. I sit in a chair or I sit and watch for deer. Criminy, y'all needs t' lern t' speek.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
