Has anyone ever truly needed the fast follow up of a semi?

I come from the Old World.
I've seen the European hunting style. I liked it a lot.
I've seen the Canadian style of hunting... I liked it even more.

People without a certain monetary discretion are rarely seen in the hunting there.

Form the Jaegermaister to the ocasional hunter with 2 weeks of vacation from GTA, we're all happy with our experiences.
We're all learning.

On the other hand, you sir, have reached your peak. There's only one way from here. We'll observe silently. reserving only the right to learn. :p

Why yes you did :mad:

I spent several posts trying to explain some diff hunting situations & attitudes because you appently have complete lack of knowledge & understand about what goes on in the rest of the world but I see with those blinders on & your line of narrow minded thinking I completely wasted my time trying to be civil to such a complete pr..k.

"Captain Deadly" apparently fits very well you earned it :D

The notion of passing up a shot because it's not a "perfect" shot is foreign to this way of hunting! But remember, in our situations that may very well be the ONLY animal you see during the hunt.


I would never consider taking a low percentage shot just because I might not get another opportunity.I don't need the animal that badly.

So let me get this straight :confused:
You consider any shot that's not a "perfect" shot as a low percentage shot :confused:

One must never loose sight of the fact we are hunting creatures with a central nervous system and they feel pain also. While everyone is socializing back at the camp these animals must try and function with wounds so horrific it would make the most calloused person wince. If one could be a leaf on a tree and observe the suffering a wounded animal goes through the atmosphere back at the camp might not be so jubilant.
No one can tell me if no deer were shot that the hunters would starve. It would be far cheaper to buy a side of beef when one sits down and crunches the numbers of what a hunter spends during the season.
My idea of hunting obviosly differs a great deal from others but hey, that's just me.

Your idea of hunting is bull####... if you actually believe any of that tripe you regurgitated above you should quite hunting and join PETA.
I don't think you are a hunter at all... I would like to see just one picture of a dead animal with a hole in its head and you standing beside it with a gun.... not likely.:rolleyes:

This post proves just what kind of an idjit you are.
The man was responding to a post of yours that was crap, and now you apparantly set some kind of trap for him?

Grow up and get a life, these people were discussing a valid point . you diminished it.

Trolling is about the same as slob hunting or slob target shooting.
You probably shoot at insulators on power poles.....

Most every camp as one (camp #######).The fella who has his point of view and agrees with nobody else.Chances are you hunt alone because nobody can put up with your #### anymore.Have a lonely hunt Walksalot and argue with yourself you might just win that one.
 
I do hunt from a treestand, I do most of my hunting alone and I enjoy hunting with my bow. I have been asked numerous times to join hunting parties on the prairies but I have declined because pushing bush and shooting at animals on the run is not my style of hunting. No one can convince me that the running shot is not one of the highest risk to wound shots in ahunting situation.
Toward the end I was fishing for BIGREDDs but I thought if he could do it so could I.
 
A bow hunter eh!!

Do you dispatch them with one quick arrow to the head as well :D

Betcha you have only ever hunted with some-one else ONCE :rolleyes:


You know REDD you said "I don't think you are a hunter at all..."
I believe he's only a "Captain Deadly" wanna be :p

Senior, one never takes a head shot with a bow. The correct shot placement is behind the front shoulder.:)

Or do you hunt for 1 trophy animal per year in an area where you sit & mull over which animal to shoot? & pretend to call that hunting

Hey, if you can't take it then don't dish it out.:)

My bet is you probably wouldn't even get of a shot! let alone "one good shot"
:D :D

Do you party hunt for meat like a lot of Ontarions?

Perhaps WALKSALOT you can reread SLOWLY the transcript from which you took that. Maybe if you sound out the words very slowly you can understand ALL of it???
No-where did I compare or even put in the same text bow hunting from a stand & field hunting with a bolt rifle??
Or perhaps you are just TROLLING again by taking bits & pieces of transcript & applying it to whatever?? line of thought you may be on :confused:
 
In defence of bowhunting, not in defence of someone, a broadhead is deadly, and has no shock or associated pain as a result. Ever cut yourself with a very very sharp instrument, and not realize it right off.
Well a deer shot through the body cavity its the same. The animals lungs just do not supply oxygen to vital parts and it goes to sleep for good.
I have taken on one occasion a deer where it flinched then went on eating, then fell over. Now hit a rib and the animal will surely run off a few yds and die .
But that does not mean that the effect of a well placed bullet would not have emmediate effect, and have the same results, ie. the animal taken humainly.

Actually,I have 3x10 scopes on my rifles and I have killed deer and elk at ranges as close as 20 yards in heavy timber.I have also killed game that was already wounded by others on a dead run,and have killed many running coyotes with scoped bolt action rifles.But then again,you probably refuse to believe it since you seem to think that you know my abilities better than myself :D

I do not party hunt,but I have hunted where I have held multiple deer tags and have filled more than one tag in a few seconds with my scoped bolt actions.When I was younger pushing bush was a very common tactic and it was common to shoot moving game.I killed my share in those days although now I prefer to spend more time hunting for a particular animal.I prefer that style of hunting to your method which appears to be to simply go out in the woods and blast away at any deer that you catch sight of.:D

No Senior, I am not trolling. You comment on a style of hunting with sarcasm and I am not allowed to respond with my views on hunting. Tell me Senior, is that very democratic?
I have had the good form not to engage in name calling because when one resorts to name calling one is backed into a corner.
 
Didn't mean to insult you stubble in that way, it may not have came out just exactly as I was thinkin & typin :redface: but it's just not common to see many bolt guns with higher power scopes in country where shooting can be very close & fast, course there is an exception to every rule:)
Yes I guess that is our method if you consider SHOOTING any animal we see rather than a particular one "blasting away at any deer that you catch sight of." :)
By the way 20yds is certainly NOT a close shot:)

So let me get this sharp arrow part straight
"and has no shock or associated pain as a result. Now hit a rib "
Must be a good shot to consistanly not hit a rib?? Ibelieve killing animals will infict pain.!!!! not nice but get over it!

My Captain Deadly arn't we nice & formal now :p

Not that big of a deal with certain gear, like a 2 blade traditional head. One does not try and put it between the ribs, but on occasion it does happen, once to me.
And as far as the pain thing, well un like hydraulic shock with a bullet, the arrow is moving along pretty fast , and were talking shaving sharp blades just seems to cut right through there. And its weird to watch because you see the arrow in flight , then its gone , and you wonder , did I miss. So if no bones are contacted its a clean very quick taking of an animal. Now a bad hit will cause pain to an animal, and it may not recover or fall prey to coyotes.
Now having said that , there are times when the deer jumps the string , it drops when it hears the arrow leave the bow, or string hit your arm or whatever, then a chance that you may pass through between the spine and lungs , and never recover the animal , but it will live from a shot like this. Also arrow heads have been found in bone years after , and the deer lived.
Like rifle hunting , bowhunting requires 100 times the practice to be confident in hunting with this gear, and the people that do not practice , or know the limitations of archery equipment are not hunters in my mind. Hope this helps folks knowledge of this hunting method.
