Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Millennials and marksmanship…..

Correct, I’m my experience.

My nephew is 22 and doesn’t hunt with any of the stuff this thread is discussing.

Well should we be giving up scopes and jacketed bullets so we don't use a "crutch"?

Anything a hunter uses in the field for a rest that helps make a good shot on game should be applauded.

Shooting proficiently means know how to use the right rest for the shot.

Odd statement, the young around here hunt traditional. Not many can afford the overpriced, gimmicks for a two week hunting season. In fact archery hunting is really big with the younger generations. Must be where your located!

My boys 24, he uses whatever he can to get hits.







It’s not cheating or lack of skills. It’s making shots count.

I know plenty of old guys who can't hit anything. Plenty.

More BS!

Works for you when you are sucking your boy friends cock.Beaver told me.

It is only cheating to those who have not mastered the skills required to make use of the tools.

In our terrain, I can almost always get prone, or lay over a big boulder, or use a tree for a steady rest.

I started carrying my primary grouse, squirrel, deer, and elk 30-06 with a bipod about 1985.

I keep reading "in their pack" and laugh.

I never knew anyone who carried a pack full of all the toys we now need for a big game hunt or even any pack at all. Sheister, comparing old guys who are now physically compromised to young lions is sheer foolishness...stupid.

It's amazing that we filled our tags every year without thou$ands of dollars of "necessary" gear in an expensive pack, weighing us down.

I can't believe how poorly today's younger hunters shoot. They suck at the tit of hi-cap semi-autos and practiced spray-n-pray as kids. I guess they need all the toys, come to think of it.

This is way rad!

Both my boys are millennials, & both are very good shooters; one shoots competitively.

MM

Happy Holidays, Grumpy Grumps!

What, you never emjoyed pulling the trigger on a Class III, or even dumping a couple mags through a semi-auto AK 47 when they were cheap and so was the ammo.

Enjoying time with toys, does not preclude a one shot, one kill philosophy when meat is in the crosshairs

My Lad managed a few days home to hunt with pops. He BZO’ed his 7x57, next morning he went out and clubbed a Buck at 100 yards kneeling.





This thread is horseshit. Calling our younger generation anything less capable of what we are is silly. There’s a lot of good young folks out there.

Christmas turkey. You know damn good and well what I mean. I dont' use scopes often. Or jacketed bullets.

But reliance on ONLY the most modern is a step back.

I'm not carrying all that extra weight for me. Because I learned how to shoot without it. I'm not carrying heavy stuff for clients either. If they choose to thats fine. But for Gods sake if you are going to carry it know how to deploy and use it. Lots of times things happen so quickly there is not time.
Out at Burns distances plenty of time for prone and a pack.

Boomies gonna boom

I thought so too! He got paid to learn to ski and shoot! How good is life!

Nephew was taught you won't kill it if lead isn't in the air. Took me years to break him of that damn bad habit. His dad still has the habit though. Unfortunately

There are plenty of cases where this isn’t so with the younger crowd and also plenty of cases where older folks use all that new gear. Most every thread here involves a non-millennial and if you look at the pics, many, many have at least some of the new gear being discussed in this thread, including ARs and the tripod mounts. This isn’t to mention many of those older guys are just as bad of shots as some of the younger folks.

I think it is also somewhat important to say that when today’s old dude was young there was a lot more hunting opportunity, more animals (except for maybe elk), less competition and generally better timing of seasons with the rut, etc., out west at least.

That is to say, if people of any age had to hunt with older equipment in today’s environment, I’d bet you people wouldn’t be near as successful as they were in the 70s and 80s.

That's because you're a dumb phugg....and probably aren't as bad azz as you think you are.

How dare people utilize tools to increase their capabilities...fools! Lol phuggin old people lol
