Yes, that's correct, every last one of us who've commented were commenting on the bullet performance.

We just can't appreciate it.

Maybe someone more astute than me could explain this respect for the animal thing. Shoot one in the chest is respectful and shoot one in the head and that is not respectful? What? I don't get it. They are pests in my garden and orchard. Tell me they are not objects of hunting in the woods and food on the plate.

By the way all who would not take the only presented shot on the last day at the last hour of the season on a legal game animal tell me where I was wrong.

Ringman, if you have a modicum of sense about you, you'll remove that photo.

With my modicum of sense which one do you want me to remove? There are two photos of bullet performance.

This pisses me off.

It would reflect poorly on those of us that cherish the honored values and traditions of the field if we did not point at this and express disgust and disapproval.


Exactly, posting the picture is in poor taste. Only shot you had, needed the meat ok, whatever.

This is like a douche walking around suburbia packing his AR and a Glock "open carry" because it is his right to do so. You aren't pulling anyone off the fence down onto the right side by posting crap like this.

If you don't get it already no number of keystrokes by me or someone else is going to get the point across.

Bullet performance my ass. Are you saying that shooting a yearling doe in the head at 20 yards with a bullet traveling 3900 fps is a good test of "bullet performance?"

I always thought you were just "quirky" but now you've confirmed you're simply a complete azzhat, rivaled only by Savage99.

GFY.

This is my concern, too. Fuel for the anti-hunting group, using it as tangible evidence of a hunter's capacity to be inhumane.

It would not be hard to influence a person not familiar with the damage a firearm can do to be against hunting with visual reinforcement such as that, and then have it proudly displayed as "bullet performance".

Geez where do I start...

# 1 You have NO respect for hunting and what it stands for.

# 2 You shoot to kill and kill only. I wonder if you even butcher the animal or just take what is easy to carry and leave the rest?

# 3 You need your ego stroked on a regular basis. In this case its how fast and powerful your gun is. You take pics and hope you get stroked.

# 4 You think of a big game animal as a pest. Like a skunk or opossum.

# 5 If the only shot I had was head and a couple inches of neck, I would have eaten tag soup that year. Wouldn't have even crossed my mind to take the shot. Not even once!

# 6 You post that picture on the internet and brag about your velocity or whatever. WTF is wrong with you?? Do you not realize that the Anti's comb sites like this just looking for this kind of crap to promote their cause?? You can bet that your picture and comments will be on display at some freakin rally somewhere to prove what dumbass cold blooded killers we hunters are!

As someone else said, remove this picture PRONTO! Do some soul searching and try to figure out why what you did was wrong.

I couldnt care less about the anti's. Theyre gonna hate hunting whether you shoot a deer in the chest or face. What I do care about is [bleep] like the OP bragging about and posting such a shot. Zero respect for the animal. We all get that it happens, bad shots, shots intended to minimize meat loss. Some of us routinely use these shots for such on other game(squirrels, etc.) Clearly, though, the OP had one thing on his mind, that being satisfying his own sick curiosity of the outcome of this situation. Truly one [bleep] up individual.

PA, good point on antis--nothing we can do or say will change their minds. It's the people in the middle I worry about. They're the ones who voted out the CO spring bear season not too many years ago.

1. I don�t remember how many times I have asked for folks to tell me about this �respect for animals�. This �NO respect for hunting and what it stands for� is totally new to me. Tell me what respect for hunting is and tell me about what it stands for, please.
2. You don�t shoot to kill? Why do you shoot? Interesting you should bring up what is easy. The hill where I killed it was very steep. I tried to get it to slide right into the back of the pickup, but it hit a rock and missed. Can you believe I had to lift it into the pickup!
3. It seems you guys are stroking each other�s ego. You are all hunters and condemn me for making a legal kill. Rush is correct when he talks about the chickification of this country.
4. Please tell me the difference.
5. I passed on three earlier in the season while I was looking for a spike. Most of the guys here would take the same shot.
6. Let me see. Occasionally my right knee hurts. I wear corrective glasses. The antis are mentally ill. This photo will not influence them one way or another.

Your ability to look at a photo of a bullet blasted head and determine what it is is a gift. The problem with your assessment is it is a mature doe. I saw some larger and some smaller this year.

No, your ability to post a photo of a bullet-blasted head and think it's worthwhile is a gift. There should be a "sportsman's special olympics" for gifted "hunters" such as yourself.

Edited to add: My apologies to Special Olympians.

Ringman,
Sometimes the entire world isn't fubar. On occasion, one might be best served to pause and reflect inward. In unanimous fashion, the reasoning sportsman in this thread are ALL trying to tell you that the photo you posted is gawd-damned ridiculous and offensive. And, you've been given countless reasons here as to why. Still, you're too thick-headed to understand otherwise.

As for the bullet performance at that distance, a ball bearing from a sling shot could have inflicted similar damage so don't talk to us about bullet performance.
