Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Poll: Do you hunt with a round in the chamber?

Haven't hunted Botetourt yet.

In VA, the option is there, if you have access to those lands (private); public (esp. wilderness areas, which is what I prefer if I hunt public), no so much so. In the 'dacks, not so much so, as it's nearly all public, and not much open, nor flat.

Damned good (though tough) hunting, though.

Don't remember saying anything about another person's wife, must be a reading comprehension issue again.

Hey grizz, did you go to school stupid or did you just come out that way?

love the new avatar SH

These are all jokes, right? Gotta be...because I've hunted in Texas, and while it's less than half the size, it's about a tenth the hunting difficulty of Alaska. Maybe not that much. If you can't get out into clearcuts in Texas...you definitely want to stay out of Alaska.

As far as boots go -- if you ever do come up here, even on a cruise ship, find out about boots first. Cause you clearly just don't get any of it.

Unless you're just joking, in which case, pretty funny, if a bit opaque.

Of course it's a joke. HEHE

Enjoy Alaska and I'll enjoy Texas......one thing I won't do is tell you how to hunt, or what to hunt with.

I only hunt with loaded chamber when hunting the fearsome prebles meadow jumping mouse. They make EVERYTHING in Texas and Alaska seem tame! No mouse guns either! You need at least a .475 Tomcat!

Didn't realize this was such a touchy subject. I'll try the cold chamber approach this season to see the difference. I have a sit awhile walk awhile approach to hunting and I take my sweet time doing it. I also hunt alone so don't need to worry about taking out a fellow hunter. If I do hunt with someone muzzle discipline is always paramount. I'll get back to this after deer season and then give my opinion. However the deer are pretty keen where I come from. They get shot at starting mid July by the indians and archery season ends on January 1. We'll see if they allow me to load one first. No offense but every time I heard about a hunter that accidentally shot himself while hunting I always thought it was intentional or lumped them into the same category as those people who shoot themselves while cleaning their gun.

You can't drive your 4wheeler to the corn tosser no more!





Hey! That's a joke!

No need when you can hook a corn tosser up to your truck and/or ATV to corn the roads/sendero's. Deer follow behind gobbling up the corn like a vacuum cleaner.

Dump some corn down a road to get them to stop...
Cool! Instant roadkill. Just add rubber!

Someone's dad should've thought of that..

Albeit crass, Paul had a humorous comment along similar line of thought...

Any of you guys back East wear corks? Probably not in the snow, huh?

That right there is some very funny stuff noob.....damn near JOish on sooooooo many levels.

Can't wait to see where you are here, in two year's time.......

That would be an inside joke, so to speak, so don't worry if you don't get it.

Flatter yourself azzhole, to think I was seeking to impress YOU with showing you a few dead deer in some of that "thick" habitat you so eagerly stump as impossible to hunt with a cold chamber.

And FWIW, about the ONLY place in NY I haven't set foot is NYC, and on purpose.

How do bow hunters fare in Chenango, BTW?

Do they even friggin' BOTHER?

Can lay HEAVY odds that folks like you are a main reason I left that festering chithole of a liberal dump.......too damnyankee for me.

first off, im the furthest thing from liberal . maybe you should start your a new site called 24hrknowitall.com i believe you'd do well. never said its impossible to hunt with a cold chamber. i said i prefer a hot chamber. my opinion , if thats ok with you

jackass, i was talking about steelhead refrence my wife. maybe you should take up reading, you might learn something

Thought you were going hunting? Keep it up, you are making friends right and left here. Pretty soon you will be in the same boat as all the other trolls.

dont really care .if i personally knew guys like that, we wouldnt be friends to start with .

Obviously.......

All you have to do is ignore it...
