i really dont understand why people think he's a "fake" and compare him to survivor man. the shows are completely different so its like comparing apples to oranges.

drop them both in the same spot with the same stuff and id bet my bottom dollar that bear would end up eating les after he kicked the bucket. :D
 
Everyone ripping on him for "only shooting it from 25yards"...wtf? Would you run back as far as you can, take the scope off and then shoot? Would you pass up a nice buck that was only 50yards away? NO. He probably saw it when it was 25yards away and then shot it at that distance.
I know according to the internet most of you make shots over 500 yards (anything less is unsporting and super easy) during a storm and make perfect, instant kills everytime and the you eat/use every single peice of the animal and you say 101 prayers and thanks for it as you harvest with extreme skill and in only 4 mins. Accidents happen...he took care of it. I say GOOD JOB. I do not think he is bragging...he took care of it, end of story. Pest control happens and is needed and something will eat that dead magpie and be better off because of it...if you have issues with that go and join PETA and while your at it grow the f**k up and why don't you join a anti handgun group cause you know..."you can't hunt anything with those!"

WAYYY to many hunters have these "standards" that are garbage and only hurt the sport of hunting. Example...shooting grouse standing still is so wrong, OMFG your a jerk, go die, you would be asked to leave my hunting group! and so on. Shooting on the fly is so much better why? Cause you feel super cool when you shot if out of the sky...there is a much higher risk of meat lose doing it that way...some of you guys think your kings of hunting and are a complete saint. Kill what your shooting at and if you don't quickly do...eat it if you can and if not make sure soemthing else will. You do that your good in my books.

Free hand shot almost took off the beak @ 25 yards and it dropped the magpie?

Good shooting young man... :D

Me I shoot every magpie/gopher/crow that I can...

Only difference is I would have shot it again instead of stomping on its head...
 
At least the magpie met a rather quick, if beakless, end. Unlike this thread which continues to painfully linger to the amusement and/or embarassment of all. Every time it's about to go away, one of us pokes it with a stick again to see if we can get a few more moans and twitches from it.


Oh well:nest::D

Sorry, gotta agree. Had a similar discussion at work. Guy there only believes that you shout shoot on the wing. Actually should scare it into the air first, then shoot it. He!!, I'd shoot it sleeping if I could!! Dead id dead. shot placement is everything!
 
I used a golf club shaped stick on a grouses head once. Later it was eaten. If I hit a deer /moose or what ever with my truck and had no means to end it's misery, I'd run over it's head again and again and again if I had to. If I had the tools like
a sledge hammer, giant pry bar, axe, hatchet, high lift Jack or some big roadside
rocks I'd bash, bash, bash and bash some more untill it's suffering ended. I suppose if I were to post the encounter, it would be taken as bragging, I would be labeled as the guy who puts hamsters in microwaves and swings cats by the tail. I asure you all, I am not.
 
Use a screwdriver, in the ear. Less painful. However, most people couldn't get that close. Had to do that once at a gate to a mil base. Someone hit the deer, when I got there there was 6 cars parked everyone out watching this doe trying to get up with 2 broken legs and maybe a broken back. The MP's were standing there waiting for the RCMP to show up, who had to wait for the DNR guys to come out, and in the end NO ONE COULD SHOOT THIS DEER because of paperwork.
I got a screwdriver, had one of the MP's hold the doe down, and dispatched the doe. An extremely difficult thing to do, but it had to be done.
