These are only words stubby. No one judges on words alone.
Unless its a court of law and last I saw, this place is not, and you are not a judge.or are you?
Some can't express their thoughts on paper as well as others can.
Just as others may try to manipulate someones ideas better than the original thoughts.
Have a nice day...

Stubby, We are questioning youre ethics on posting polls, and passing judgement on others hunting practice.
No one judges you for having you're body stuck to a bench rest, it's all you know.
No one here judges you for you're close minded views on hunting, it's all you know.
Sad really.
Who is the "we"?I see only you posting such things.And over 330 people thought that the poll was worth voting on.
Just another one of your incorrect assumptions.
And yet another one of your incorrect assumptions.
Your assumptions are about as valid as your resorting to name calling.
And that name calling shows that your social ethics match your hunting ethics."Sad really"

Only you are saying my assumptions of you are incorrect.
I've seen no one run to you're defence, out of those 330 something pollsters.
I will never let up on you stubby. NEVER... for what you've done.

What did he do?

I'll fill you in, just in case you missed the beginning.
I posted on the 270 vs 7mm thread.
I stated that if you get off a plane and zero youre rifle and find the gun isnt shooting right, you might need a few more rounds( store bought) if you find the rifle isnt shooting right, and you've burned most of the rounds you've brought at the range, to figure things out.
With that posting, The stubbly decided to post this poll, and start accusing of using 20 to 30 rounds to kill a deer, when I clearly stated it only takes one shot to kill a deer.
His abuse of a comment is unforgivable, Posting of this poll is also, cause he's not really asking the viewers an honest question, he's entertaining himself only, and manipulating viewers here to suit his pleasure.
For that I will never forgive!

YOU actually posted:
Perhaps to you twenty or thirty rounds is"a few more rounds( store bought) if you find the rifle isnt shooting right"
To many of us,a few more rounds is three or so,not twenty or thirty.And anyone that knows how to properly zero a rifle does not require twenty or thirty rounds to do so.
YOU posted:
It was YOU that posted that 20 rounds would not see you through a week of hunting.
So it was YOU that made the posts that caused people to judge your shot selection and hunting ethics harshly,not me.But YOU must think that the readers can't verify the posts that I quoted for themselves,or you would admit your foolishness,and accept what your own posts have done to your credibility,or lack thereof,instead of resorting to your childish name calling and constant whining.What are you going to do next,go crying to your mommy so she can scold me online?

I am willing to bet with the holier than thou attitude you have stubblejumper,that you hunt alone.
I hunted with a fella like you once(one season).His gear was better,his methods better,his clothes were better.This chit gets old fast.The only way this fella will ever get in our camp again is if he breaks in when we are gone.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
The fact is if you give 20 guys the same hunt,it will be done 20 different ways,and who is to say its wrong?You?I think not!

20 or 30 to confirm zero???
WTF?? I can take a brand new rifle, mount a brand new scope, boresight (old fashioned way) and be on target in half a dozen rounds, give or take. Confirming and adjusting an already mounted scope shouldn't take 20 rounds unless you are hopelessly inept...
If I shoot 20 rounds a whole (3 month BC big game) season, I'm surprised. This includes a couple to check zero from time to time and a couple of deer, a bear, and maybe a coyote or 2. I might miss a coupel of shots at sheep, too...
20 rounds through a week?? If you shoot at 5 animals and need 4 shots each...I think you are doing something wrong. Even when I hunt the thick, coastal jungle of BC, and shots on deer and bear are in thick cover, I dont' take more than a shot or 2, mostly because I don't shoot unless I am pretty sure of a kill.
Maybe you shoudl back yourself away from the intraweb...You take it a wee bit too seriously.

Confirming zero at a local gravel pit when you arrive, and if you're scope is off, or something isn't working properly,and after twenty or thirty rounds trying to confirm zero, you're left with 20 rounds for hunting all week?.

Yes, the hunt may well be conducted in 20 different ways, but I woudl hope that all 20 of them would be ethical to only take shots that have a high percentage of clean kills, and a low percentage of wounding.
Not at all.I actually hunt with three regular hunting partners,as well as with another group of three friends on occasion,as well as with one other person,depending on the game that we hunt.We don't all hunt the same way,we don't all have the same gear,we don't all choose to take the same shots, and we none of us ever claims to be superior to the other people that we hunt with.I do own good rifles and equipment,as do my hunting partners,but my most common hunting clothes are an old pair of jeans,and a sweatshirt,or a polar fleece sweater from Marks Work Wearhouse.We don't use high priced custom knives,and half of us including myself don't own an atv.
The one thing that we do all have in common,is that we don't take a shot unless we are quite sure that it is within our shooting abilities.None of us has ever taken ten shots at game animals in a season,let alone twenty in a week,even though myself and some of my other partners have filled up to six tags each in a season.
If someone was to join our group,and took twenty shots to fill even six tags,he would not be hunting with us the following year.

Apparently only to the people that think that twenty shots isn't enough for a week of hunting.And apparently,they all seem to be from the same province.But I am sure that must just be a coincidence,that the only three people posting on this thread that think it's okay to shoot twenty shots at game in a week are from the same province.Unless of course you guys hunt together.If that were the case,it must sound like a war zone..
I think that I can forgive you,unless you vote Liberal.After what the Ontario Liberals have done to make it miserable for Canadian gun owners,I can never forgive them.
