How many idiots does it take to shoot a partridge?

[my72jeep]

Shooting a 22 in to a dense forest in Northwest Ontario literally over 30 miles away from the nearest building on a road running east/west shooting south. I think we were good.

It's Emo there's nothing any way near to hit.

By shooting empty 22 cases at 25 yards. Most hits got the bird. Actually we got 6 that day. One each.

There were three birds to the North giving you the finger...

Actually, I see three on the road just at the outer end of the bend.
They all appear to be having a good laugh at the bonehead comments in this thread.
I wonder if they where using data or wifi was enabled ?

OH MY GOD! Any chance to make a post and say something stupid to try to make someone else look bad. 30 miles and you are worried about the 22 carrying that far, maybe the military should add it to their artillery program.

A partridge makes for as good a backstop as anything.

Well said!!

Shooting in the air with a rifle (I presume a 22lr).
Backstop??

And only two of the five are wearing orange vests and hats. It's amazing anyone survived.

Is that mandatory in ON?
It's not in BC, and no carnage ensues...

If a big game season is ooen then yes it's required. So in this case yes we all did need to be wearing hats and vests. But in our defense, we just stepped out of the vehicle to go find that bird.

BUT in order to try get this thread back on track, we all just thought it was a funny picture. Much like you would see in the old gun company advertisements/paintings.

I recall a comnent from somewhere..maybe OFAH site, that they want orange helmets if you are on the way to or from your stand on a ATV too.

 

[Deathrawt]

I don't know why people get worked up over such nonsense, the fist tree or limb that 22 shell hits and it's done
You should see some of the idiot hunters around here that actually do stupid stuff
Great picture though and worth a laugh!

I was being sarcastic, joke post. I'm in MB and you don't have to wear orange until later in the season when deer is open, but that's more along the lines of common sense with all the boneheads out there deer hunting.

 

[hawk-i]

Orange outer wear use to be required in Alberta for hunting until it was challenged in court 20 or more years back.
Unless all outdoor users regardless of activities are required to the same attire it's discrimination to force hunter to do so.

I certainly think that it's picture frame worthy, my first thought was that it looked like an ad for something.
