Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting To the regular guy...

And, I never used to use email, the internet or a cell phone.

I salute the hunter that takes game ethically and has respect for the animal he/she is pursuing. That's it. Outside of that, taint for me to judge how they go about doing it. Different strokes.

I killed a grouse with an empty beer bottle for a club, back of the head. "klink!" Ninja skeelz.

And I caught a jackrabbit once, I snook up on him and tackled the sumbish... Of course that was a regretable handful, but I held on through the beating and squeeling and biting he dished out and I kilt him in the end.

And dats da troof.

You 2 jokers and your tall tales.



posers, "da bote uv youse."

Y'all got some wierd looking sisters.

You're lucky. I haven't been able to find any beer drinking grouse yet. I'll keep lookin.

Good looking buck for the young man. I remember when Treebark camo was the thing to have.

In my experience, the "regular" guy that you describe is also out at the bar until closing time the night before the season, never had time to sight in his gun, and has a hard time finding his deer hunnin' coveralls opening morning. Then he complains about all those of us who take it seriously and are prepared.

TFF. And, there's some truth in it too.

Yeah, you tell 'im, cohiba...

I sense alot of jealousy from pinworm.....

Mines headless and lost her legs when she fell asleep in the back of a garbage truck and got compacted...

Oh yeah, you're from Minnesota alright.....



(or Wisconsin)

Simple, it's class envy. People with less money aren't any more humble, they just can't afford more expensive stuff. Not all people with more than two nickels to rub togeter are jerks. People can be so judgemental sometimes and usually it's about something they're not overly famliar with. Oh well. Continue the urination contest at will.

I'm regular.... every morning half an hour after my first coffee and again half an hour before bed.... regular as clockwork and I manage it without needing bran or any other supplementary fiber.

Yep, that's regular all right...:)

After reading this thread a couple of times I thought that I'd weigh in. In my area, the "regular guy" hunter is going away quickly. There is just too much money to be made in the hunting industry. Hunting takes money. Whether you buy your own land. lease it, or take road trips, cash is the name of the game. I'm not convinced that the expense of hunting is all bad either. The game animals are less pressured and the hunters are more serious about the sport. I'm far from rich but saved my nickels and managed to buy a small tract of hunting property close to home. I used to travel to hunt but the guys that I traveled with have quit hunting so it's mostly a solo gig for me. I don't have custom rifles, high end scopes, nor do I shoot expensive bullets but have zero problems with those who do. As long as a guy obeys the game laws, shows some respect for the animals and other hunters, and just behaves in a civil manner, it makes no difference to me whether he is carrying a 4000 dollar custom rifle, shooting Barnes bullets with a Zeiss scope or he is using a 200 dollar shotgun, shooting Remington rifled slugs, and no scope. There are rich people that are nice and rich people who are jerks, There are poor people that are nice and poor people who are jerks. That's just the way it is.

When I was 9 an auto-5 or model 12 was the mark of the richest of folks who could hunt with kings and a dream that propelled me to skipping Dutch dates and certain nookie (later) to study for work that would bring those luxuries.

I didn't even dream the law would allow a mere kid to touch a gun like that. PS. John, where were you aiming with that shotgun? I would have aimed for the bull's- eye, and you know where that is.

Yeah but you wore a ugly ass hat.

I bet the deer was laughing to hard and you shot him up close.

He'll of a shot there John, and the second one was certainly a miraculous shot. How did you manage to hit that broken neck buck in the neck again as he bit the dirt? My old man would have wanted to know why I wasted the second shot, but I will say you did great shooting for a 9 year old.

Ringworm, I've been where that happy kid is, and I would give up all my trophies to be able to go back there again. when I was a real sick kid with asthma, I used to pray I wouldn't die before I killed a deer.
