Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Why Not Just Call In Arty - or an Air Strike...

Well, as you can see, that looks like a clear cut, in Canadian Boreal forest.

& you can see, a very dead, Canadian buck.

I may have used, anything I deemed necessary, to get the job done !

With a girls rifle no less!!🤣😁🤣😁🤣😁

My gripe - is that all these want-a-be snipers can't even hold 4 MOA from field positions... period.

... and then are actually offended if one calls them on it.


4 MOA - will take even running game at 150 yards.

3 MOA - will take game to near 300.

No sweat at all for basic rifleman skills, learned in two weeks, remember?


They've created a cult, a marksmaplegic "snow-globe," where they don't have to.

Fine by me, bein' simply the illumination of it.

I'd argue the whole rifle is a crutch. A real marksman hunts with one of these...

New 2 99s;
Good afternoon my friend, I trust you and your fine family are well!

That's a nice buck sir!!

I'm not sure if you've posted it previously and I've just forgotten yet another detail or not...

Maybe don't tell me okay?

The day's been going good for me as I actually got through to Miramichi today and have an honest to goodness reference number from them on the transfer of all the restricted stuff in the safe that we're able to our daughter.

Fingers crossed we get written approvals before Crown Prince Socks has another moment of brilliance, you know? I am so done with this group in power now, so very, very done.

Anyways, it's been a decent day and you killed a very decent buck!

Regarding the topic at hand, I'm not the shot on game I once was when I was in my '30's for sure. There was a time that a buddy said I was the fastest game shot he'd seen, but he doesn't say that anymore... for good reason.

All the best.

Yes Sir !!!

When you're "rugged up" for our winter, the LOP is almost perfect !

Oh, & I love the accutrigger too.

Took a bull moose with Deb's rifle too.

Ha, ha Dwayne, yes, posted before & it is my avatar !

Shot it, just off the old property, on Crown Land, in 2015.

As stated above, using Deb's Savage Lady Hunter in 7mm-08 & factory barnes vor-tx 120gr TTSX.

Same load for the bull moose, the year before.

Glad you got it done with the CFO !

I can appreciate that. I have a manual in my 2001 F250 SD

I get that sentiment, but who are you referring to? Most guys that you're calling "wanna-be snipers" seem to take an interest in precision shooting and shrinking their group sizes from all positions. It's the guys I see running around with SKSs, burning through crates of ammo in an afternoon, that can't seem to shoot a 10 MOA group.

This thread reminds me of Carl Ross' 24HCF Positional challenge. Maybe we should resurrect that challenge.

F250/Escape/Mustang GT: all manual.

And every rifle wears a 1-1/4" cotton web sling.

Simple observation, starting w/ the OP.

"Ode to the Crutch" - by Craig Boddington

Five Field Shooting Positions You Should Know

Marksmanship... as a Last Resort.


In this vid, they All use lead-sleads, even in tree-stands.


And then this board becomes unhinged when one points it out.


Go to the rifle range w/ a shooting mat?

You will most likely be alone.




GR

I'd Craig Boddington's word over yours anytime and twice on Sunday, gr.

Do you use the schitty sling as a crutch?

Yet another offended disciple of the church of the want-a-be sniper.


The sling - is already on the rifle.

... for carrying it.


See how that works?




GR

He got old.

And he was a pogue, but I'll bet he could still shoot in his prime.

Now he gives monetized endorsements for crutches.

Careful pickin' your "Experts."




GR

That appears to be both your intellectual and emotional apogee.

Will expect less.




GR

Hey Skeen like this??😁 So easy a thirteen year old kid can do it.
