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

NOr do you need a rifle to accomplish that, but... you have the luxury of choosing one to do the task, what is wrong with someone choosing something that better fits THEIR situation, even if its different than your choice? If you can shoot 3 moving deer inside of 75 yards with a singleshot, or boltgun, you win. But the truth is, you'd either have to be better than most, or lucky as hell. (and I'd bet on luck) The problems is you guys cant seem to grasp peoples intent of doing things different than you do, and being successful at it.
"my way is better than yours" Nope, just different.
Out east, the deer dont wait to be shot once the shooting begins, maybe we have smarter game, I dont know
stubblejumper said:Time to get out the boxing gloves.This has the makings of a good east vs west rivalry.
Truth be told, its about western Ignorance, rather than acceptance of successful, and common hunting practices that are different than yours...
Actually you posted that not me,so I guess that we can assume that you either have a reading comprehension problem or that you suffer from hallucinations.I have killed over 100 big game animals but all kills were not one shot kills.However,when a second shot was required,I managed to deliver it using an action other than a semi auto.However judging from your attitude,we must assume that you simply don't have the skill or co-ordination to cycle an action manually while keeping track of the target.
Would you be meaning your intent at continuing to successfully vote the liberals into power so they can make even more gun laws?
.Luckily for all canadian hunters and shooters,you were not successful at doing so in the last election,and thanks to the rest of the canadian voters,some of the damage might be undone.

OK now were gettin to it. It's OK to shoot animals more than once !!
BUT only if the firearm used is not a semi

OR practice, So how many actually practice cycling a bolt from the shoulder as fast as possible to be prepared for hunting season? damm few I suspect! I'll bet most preparation is done off bags
kinda makes more sense to use an auto if you look at it that wayOh yeah, thanks for painting me as I liberal because Im from Ont..stubblejumper said:Would you be meaning your intent at continuing to successfully vote the liberals into power so they can make even more gun laws?

So typical of your thinking, and thanks for making my arguement for me about your prejudice towards the east, or just different thinking in general
SO, you have nothing intellegent to add to the discussion at hand, so you resort to politics? K, we can play that game, but prepare to be schooled again
SO tell me this, how many seats did Ontario pick up over lost seats in the west?
Had the west remained true blue, and the conservatives been able to pick up any seats in NF we'd have a majority government. Do you know how many riding here in Ont were decided by a few hundred votes? enough that if harper does a half assed job, a majority government will be in his near future.
But I digress, lets get back to your intolerance

Sounds like TROLLING there to me bud
You forget there are city's out west that voted OTHER than conserv too!
You know I'd really laugh if you were in one of them
This post is not about East vs West nor is it about politics!
To thow that sh-t in is just a smoke screen when you got nothin inteligent to add
When I do take a second shot,it is almost always for the same reason that many other people do,which is because the animal is already incapacitated and I am simply finishing off the animal.In those cases,an extra second really isn't a factor,since the second shot was not even necessary in most cases.I have also occaisionally shot a second animal as well,and amazingly enough,I was able to accomplish this feat using a bolt action.Yes a semi auto would have served the purpose,but answering the original question,no it was not necessary.

Perhaps the original question should have read
Do we really need the fast follow-up shot of a single shot, bolt action, lever action, pump or semi-auto??
After all in a perfect world a muzzle loader has all the rate of fire required right
Course that's with the understanding deer number 2 comes to a complete stop & waits for you to reload & deer number 3 is willing to wait too &

You assume the animal is going to bleed... I have seen many heart shots that left little or no blood trail. If the heart is not pumping and the holes are plugged with fat, hair or meat how are they gonna bleed? I also have witnessed many animals that have run well over a hundred yards with no heart.
Or maybe your going to follow tracks? In our area the deer are so prolific that the trails look like cattle paths. Trying to sort one set of tracks out from the others is impossible.
In this province not only do we have thick cover, we also have lakes and swamps. Last time I checked it was pretty tough tracking underwater...
Your dismissive attitude and narrow minded view of hunting is typical of many hunters. What you do is right so everybody else must be wrong. This is an elitist attitude that is born of ignorance not experience.
Amen to that brother! Very good response!

Senior has undoubtedly had to track and even lost wounded animals, I know I sure have... too damn many if the truth be told!
Invariably these obtuse individuals are mercifully bereft of the ravages of intelligence.

Use a .50 BMG single shot. Tracking will be kept at a minimum

Brilliant... this is another dull response that adds nothing to the thread. I am now completely convinced that you have no knowledge of hunting or shooting whatsoever.
Do you have any intelligent thoughts about the subject or any meaningful insights for us to ponder? It seems your computer skills are roughly equivalent to your debating ability.
I am beginning to think I should argue both sides of this debate to make it interesting, the anti-semi crowd is completely lacking any logical discourse.
