Last time "I" tried to use a tripod. Was hunting Cape Buffalo in the Binga district in Zim. We were crouched down in a rocky out cropping as a herd was walking across an opening in front of me. The tracker set up a tripod. I put the rifle on it then immediately pushed it away. Didn't like it at all.
Guy tried to set it up again. I moved over a few inches to get on the bull in the herd and away from the tripod.
Not saying they don't have their place, but if I can't hit a buff bull at about 30 yards, shoot me.

I'd love to lock sharpsman and garandimal in a room to see who can out-miserable and out-sanctimonious the other.
But at least we've seen a field photo or two from sharpsman - proving he actually hunts and finds success on occasion.
garandimal (aka Lee24) just shoots his mouth.

garandimal (aka Lee24) just shoots his mouth. Healthy shame - still stings, don't it, little one. You don't have to learn to shoot. ... just can't have it both ways. Marksmanship - is a skill. GR

You sure it wasn't a Garand? Way to sight-in an M1 rifle - is prone position, over a sand bag. It's in the Marksmanship Training course you were provided, and apparently ignored. Should be good for ~ 3 MOA w/ M2 ball ammo. After that, all the rifleman can laugh at you. Marksmanship - is a skill. GR

GR You post a gem in the GENERAL BIG GAME hunting forum and all you can muster to back up your mouth is a couple of range picts (likely taken from the internet). Coffee is for closers, sweety. Sucks, doesn't it?

Almost every shot I've ever taken at big game was off hand or sitting.

Sucks, doesn't it? Well... your obvious man-love has blinded you to the fact that, in that thread, there are Zero(0.0) pics of either me or my marksmanship abilities on display. That thread - is also RE: Marksmaplegics like you and smokepole. Marksmanship - is simply a skill that can be ignored. Sure all your Marksmaplegic buddies feel the same way. GR

I never got the use of generational labels as epithets, whether it's millenials, GenX, boomers, whatever.
As if one has control of when he was born. It's a way for some to feel morally/intellectually superior while avoiding personal responsibility. Blame it on that stupid generation ______ . What is even worse is in general the people that complain about certain generation are the ones who raised that same generation of which they complain.

I learned to deer hunt as a boy with my Dad and Uncles. They knew the country and liked to run drives to guys on stands. Steep, brushy hillsides covered in deer trails. As a "dog" walking through the brush if you wanted to shoot a buck you had to be quick.

The last deer I shot was about 80 yards. A tree branch was convenient so I used it. If I had to I could have easily gone off hand. I don't have a bipod on my my main rifles/
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.
