Because "almost certain" leaves quite a bit of wiggle room for interpretation.

I am not Vic,but I am the one that came up with the "almost 100%".The reason for the "almost" is that even if everything in your control is perfect to your knowledge things can happen.You could have a bad round of ammunition that looked normal.A gun malfunction could occur,even with a gun that is properly maintained.A scope could fail,even if the zero was recently checked.As you are squeezing the trigger,the animal could suddenly spook.Another animal could suddenly jump up in front of your chosen target.No matter how prepared you are ,things can happen beyond your control,hence the "almost 100%".

So the story has come full circle and kicked you in the budd stubby. Owned.. Ha Ha Ha.... You lose......:dancingbanana: You owe me .50 cents.
 
The best way to look at it is to think of every rifle shot as a bowhunting shot. Close and through the lungs.

Will you have to track...sometimes... but if you do your job right it will be a short walk.

Almost 100% is a far cry from 20 rounds not being enough to fill your deer tags.:rolleyes:

You owe me .50 cents.

.50 cents is 1/2 of a cent,which is still more than you are worth.Just stay in Ontario and Manitoba,and keep scaring the deer west,with all of the gunfire:50cal:and us western hunters will be grateful.
 
Last gasp stubby?

Not a chance,it's just that your attempt at debate is so weak,I don't have to do much at all to surpass it.At first your posts were at least amusing,but now you are just making an even larger fool of yourself by continuing to post on this thread.
 
As are you..:runaway:

Are you trying to manipulate me to post more to make this page go away as quick as possible so you're other bully type friends dont see it, that you've been beat?

I don't have bully type friends on this site.People like Gatehouse and others that don't share your idea of hunting ethics are not bullies,but they are respected by many on this site,something that you will never achieve with your attitude.By all means,keep right on posting,so this thread stays fresh,and even more people read it and see what a fool you have made of yourself.

Beat? You've been OWNED once again:p

Bully friends? This is the INTRAWEB!!:dancingbanana:

You can be 9 ft tall and tough as nails if you want. You can only call someone a "bully" if you ALLOW them to bully you. And really, nobody has bullied you. Laughed at you, yes...But no bullying...:p

If you're getting bored stubby, just find another thread, and extract a comment that you probably agree with, but might see fit to manipulate.

Twist and turn the truth to you're pleasure, and even start a new ridiculous poll, and start the one sided quotes to suit you're entertainment needs.:)
