Hunting Sound Off

[Stoic Socialist]

Soo; how many of you guys are leaving?

I leave tomorrow, and I won't be back until late Sunday. I know your lives will be miserably with out me, but you should be fine. xp

I'm definitely going to look forward to the wonderful 8 hour car drive tomorrow. rolleyes  

[OberFeldwebel]

Well, I'm not sure if I will be hunting.
Probably not.
I've got one shotgun and it doesn't even have a slug barrel.

Stupid, "omfg shotgunz only okayz?/" zones.

Really what is it? Are the ricochets what they're worrying about?
I honestly don't think that SPs, or JHPs ricochet that much.
Definitely not at all when they hit something like... you know, an animal.  

[Stoic Socialist]

I heard it was mainly for when you miss an animal, and something/someone happened to be where it landed.

ANYWAYS.... to my knowledge, you don't NEED a slug barrel as long as you take out the choke.
Sure; it'll be a little bit too long, but it's better than not going eh?

You have a shotgun that can't handle slugs? I didn't know that was possible, inform me please?

Careful now, don't jinx it.


Well, I have used it without the slug barrel and no choke, but I just figure that a rifled barrel would work better than a non.

Maybe after a ton of slugs going through, the barrel might get a slight twist in it that makes the wad in a regular shell spin. As we all know, that is a bad thing.

Hunting season started last Saturday here. I went out Monday and saw a, singular, one, deer. a young doe, but I didn't take the shot, let her grow up, maybe get her next year.

I took my M1 with 165 grains of partially jacketed lean core.  

[Stoic Socialist]

Ouch. That stinks.  

[OberFeldwebel]

Last year when I went hunting I zoned out and then suddenly noticed a rather nice size buck at the tree line staring me down.
I couldn't move to shoot a slug drown his chest because like I said, he was staring right at me.

Then he started to move slowly to it's left along the tree line.
A small pine blocked his view so I slowly raised the shotgun and aimed past the tree.
Suddenly something spooked him and he took off.

It was probably some douche bag squirrels.
I hate those ********.  

[Fresnel]

I don't hunt. I'm too much of a sissy to deal with the field dressing and whatnot, and I do NOT have the patience to sit and wait for something to come to me. All my targets are targets of opportunity. Anything inside my fenced yard is fair game.

I would do something like that, but since the game warden has actually come out after our property line neighbor bitched, I probably wouldn't be doing that.
I have spotted squirrels, turkeys and pheasants in the front yard and, I'm sure that if I bait them, I'll get deer too.


Well, this guy is being a douche bag.
At prime time he went out on his four wheeler with the muffler taken off and went up and down his property line revving the ******** thing.

... I feel like being naughty. I want to put chlorine in his oil.

I think he's jealous or got a hair in his v****a because the guy that we let hunt on our land bagged several deer this season and got three on the last.  

[Requiem ex Inferni]

Wait, when you say "slug barrel", do you mean a rifled shotgun barrel? Because they make fin-stabilizing slugs for smoothbore barrels.

Yeah, rifled barrel.

Nobody complains out here unless you shoot their dog or something, and we've got a lot of our own land and uninhabited land to buffer us form neighbors. The fenced area is smack in the middle of our land, and it's a while before you hit neighbors. I just don't like wild animals inside our fence. It's fenced for a reason, unless it can fly it's got no business being in here.
