A real hunter would jump out of the trees and start chewing on the deers neck before it knew what happened.
Hunters....I can understand sneaking around in wet grass for a day staying downwind of an animal, but with a high powered gun and scope....doesn't it seem a little unsporting? I mean what happened to mano-a-mano....grab that sucker by the horns and wrestle him to the ground..THAT'S the thrill of hunting.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to hear any type of firearm being cocked and readied for firing behind me in the dark. Which is another question for the women....are guns really a "guy" thing? How many of you women have gone to a range or gone plinking?

 

I never have, but nobody in my immediate family ever has either. I just didn't grow up around it at all.

 

Just fyi dj, buckshot is one large round inside a shotgun shell (as opposed to a lot of small ones). It is used for hunting large game, such as deer.

870 Express represent!

 

Ive only used brid shot. Dont plan on really going outside of it.

 

Once, a long time ago, I went camping with two of my uncles and cousins. This was a totally guy thing, no cabins, not even tents!! No bathrooms. I did a whole bunch of guy things that weekend. We went like hardcore offroading. Crashed a land cruiser while almost rolling it. Then I shot a gun for the first time. I didnt hunt or anything, just shot at targets at the other end of a field. It was the only time I did, and honestly, if we were gonna be shooting at animals, I wouldnt have participated. Those guns can throw you back too!

 

When I was younger my grandfather used to take me and my brother to the range all the time, and we were both members of the Junior NRA. And I was good. I should get back into it, come to think of it. Nither of us are into that now that we're older, though, although my grandfather has given my brother a couple of older guns that are like family heirlooms. I didn't get jack Anyway, my father used to go deer hunting, but with a compound bow. He always said he would take my brother and I when we were strong enough to pull back the bow, which I've never been able to do since I'm pretty small. I don't think I'd be able to kill a deer anyway. Just don't have it in me.

 

FYI They have slugs for that purpose, you...well rather...I wouldn't use shot.

But then again, I don't hunt.

 

CLARIFICATION: A slug is one large round while buckshot are the smaller BB's.

 

buckshot is packed nine large BBs into one, birdshot is tons of small pellets in one.

 

I wasn't sure how many BBs were in a buckshot round. Thanks.
