I dont hunt, but my brother was a big-time bami-killer.

He had an old Savage .356 WW2-era hunting rifle that I still oil today. Thing could take the head off a moose.

:envy: I'd kill for that myself. Its an hour and a half drive to the nearest shooting area from where I am.

I'm a (formerly competitive) shooter, but I'm surely no hunter. I have nothing against it have taken a quail or two myself. I understand both the need and the desire to hunt, I just rarely do it.

good hunting

Savage Model 110 .243 with 4 power scope firing a 100 grain/factory load.

Get a deer every year. Usually snag an elk once every 3-5 years (population is dwindling).

Havn't gotten a nice buck in a few years. Luckily I've been drawn for a doe tag every year since I started hunting. Snagged a nice doe this year, she boned out to about 175 pounds of meat.

Three years ago I got a huge 5x4 muley. He was massive too, boned out to almost 300 lbs. We ended up quartering him out just to get him home, a real nice animal.

I do alot of bird hunting as well. I really enjoy hunting pheasant, chuckar, and ****. Quail are fun, but you go through an assload of ammo.

Peacemaker, you easterners are goofy with your scoring system...counting all the points and such. That buck I mentioned above would have been an 11-pointer by your standards. It was funny, even though he was a muledeer, he had little eye guards forming low on the antler. They were about an inch long so we didn't count them.

50 cal? Seems like that would ruin most of the good meat.

I use a 25'06 and go hunting whenever i run out of whats in my deep fridge. Always eat em though, killin for sport seems like a waste.

I want a lever action .45-70 so bad I cant hardly stand it.

That will take anything in the Americas.

Hit em in the head... only way you won't ruin the meat...

And for whoever commented on if it were like in planetside you'd probly lag and die before you even killed anything!
