:*) :*) :*) ...gosh...I guess you have to be a weightlifter to appreciate it. No offense taken...slightly embarrassed though :(

I haven't posted her ein a very loong time. This is not hunting related but I am sure you'll be amazed. For those of you who are weightlifters, this guy is playing with over 400 pounds and then ups the weight. He's a mini-battleship! I seem to have put my user name in the title for this post...no it's not me doing the lifting...my knees hurt just watching that! Wow

:o No offense taken, ever...

Jack Rabbits are considered a huge pest problem in parts of the United States. (The same as praire dogs). It is perfectly legal and I happen to know one of the hunters in the video clip which is from his DVD. He posts regularly on another forum dedicated to Varmint Hunting. He is an incredible shot, many of the shots on those videos are taken at some incredible ranges...a few over 400 yards. I've seen him shoot accurately offhand at over 250 yards at those jacks. He reloads all of his own ammuniton and shoots custom as well as factory made rifles with top shelf scopes. Most Varmint Hunters shoot 22 centerfire ammunition (22-250, 220, 22BR) using hollowpoint or v-max type bullets to get that explosive expansion which causes that spectacular terminal effect. I happen to know that one of his favorite calibers is a 6mm-284, a very popular round for benchrest shooters. If you got to www.huntingfootage.com there is a video clip of a hunter (from Europe, killing a moose calf that has been chased down with a dog. The dog causes the calf to be confused and unaware of the hunter. He successfully shoots and kills the calf. That type of hunting is illegal in my country, initially it sickened myself and others on that site. but, it was pointed out by the Web Master that it is a perfectly legal form of hunting in that country and should be treated as such. Jack Rabbits, praire dogs and ground squirrels (not to mention crows, PIGEONS and starlings) are a huge nuisance both financially and for health reasons to ranchers and farmers across the US. Farmers and Ranchers enthusiastically welcome varmint hunters to eliminate these pests so that they don't have to use poison(s), which will keep killing even after the targeted animal is dead. Predatory birds (Bald Eagles, redtailed hawk, etc..) and scavengers will eat the dead, poisoned animal and in turn become too ill to fend for itself and/or die. Poison does not discriminate in what it kills. I happen to own a copy of that DVD. I have shot rabbits as pests in the summer time and while you can eat summer season rabbits, they are so full of worms it looks like your eating rabbits with spaghetti. But, I was doing a favor for the rancher who had planted 45 acres of pole beans. He knew I was a very safe and accurate shot . If I had said "no!" I would have definitely fallen out of favor with him and I am very conscientious of 40 head of cattle meandering around the fenced in pole beans trying to find a way in. Hmmm...no personal attack here Now...back to playing my banjo...

Sorry to take so long to get back. Both of those were right at 75 yards. I try to never shoot at under 50 yards with my magnum

Found this whilst surfing...neat website for airgun hunting...Airgun Hunting

Great enthusiasm your dog has...very nice video.

Two fat bunnies...

A picture of me and my 1022 magnum, that's my old Mitsubishi Pickup Truck which finally died after 354,000 miles...they just don't make em like they used to!

Tobster...your post comes across as condescending. It seems as if you enjoy stirring things up is all. We refer to people such as you as Trolls. Your reference to detention and picking up litter is your attempt to add more fuel to the fire. I haven't been a member here nearly as long as you but I have posted six times as much. I guess that makes you the inexperienced one and maybe you should grow up . TX Sniper...that was a excellant post...judging by your total number of posts, making you more experienced at this, maybe Tobster should listen to you . Lets ignore him..he's only getting a rise out of this anyway...

Your banana toting crook must be related to this guy....

A well placed arrow can kill very quickly..keyword being "WELL placed" Here in my state (Florida), you can use a rifle to shoot turkeys. During general gun season, when the fall turkey season coincides with it, you can use any firearm to shoot one. During Spring turkey season in many management areas you can use a shotgun or rimfire rifle.

Did u use an electronic caller too? Or just the decoys? Love shooting them crows!

You guys crack me up!! You know, I use a computer at the public library...that brought quite a few stares when I brought it up on the screen...yeesh

Here's a laugh fer ya...Killer Bunny

This one's pretty fun.....Shotgunning

A store that sells husbands has just opened where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is composed of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor, you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building. So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good-looking. "Hmmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?" The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good-looking and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good-looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.

I was worried that I would be in trouble for leaving that post and defending the youngsters...instead you found out the truth...I was indeed the product of an accidental discharge :*) . Yes my father is dangerous with a firearm. I had taken him out to some property I shoot on, just plinking, and I left him at the bench...I start hearing the whine of ricocheting bullets. He is shooting at some rocks laying next to the berm he is supposed to be shooting into. Once again I have to intervene. Since he and my mother divorced I never sees him anymore...thank goodness. This is even scarier...he would mow the lawn wearing bathing trunks, no shirt...a hat as big as a sombrero, long white socks pulled up to his knees and flip flops. The bathing suit is pulled way up on his stomach causing bulging plums...or is it prunes when you get that old? Being overweight...he weighed in at like 260 then...and older, his stomach had dropped to form what looked like a marsupial pouch under his tightly fitting bathing trunks. Quite the site I can tell you.

Comments like that can come across as arrogant and condescending, it'll chase away younger people from this forum. I think that your comments were unecessary and although you put smilies in it to convey that it was supposed to be light hearted, it won't come across like that to younger people. The majority of the hunting accidents here in the States are caused by adults. Just remember those comments when you are a senior citizen and your kids don't want to spend time with you. :thumbs: . My own father shouldn't be allowed near a firearm, although he claims to have used guns since he was a child. He has had so many accidental discharges that I stopped doing any shooting with him. He has shot out the light switch twice in his house, put a round through the dining room table (hitting the bottle of nail polish my mother was just using), was watching a western on TV so had to play around with one of his guns and shot the television, put a round through the floor and shot himself in the leg whilst cleaning his gun. He even refused to go to the hospital when he shot himself because a police report has to be filed. He also illegally shortened a 22 rifle down to a hand gun and got in trouble with BATF.

Kinda weird but I think it was bad judgement to do that. I know they are only rats but actually they make great pets. I can't abide by intentional cruelty on any level. And I am not a bleeding heart...I used to keep pythons as pets and often fed them rats and rabbits...no such thing as Purina Snake Chow.

Upland...I used to live in Upstate New York...Lake George. Had quite a few Canadians come down to stay..my Aunt and Uncle owned a motel and Diner on Lake George and I often worked fer tehm during the summer months. Greatest job ever fer a young man! Family's would stay at the motel for a while and bring their daughters along...then be gone before things got to serious...hahahahhahaa! Did I share too much???

Bwahahahahahhaaaa!! :o That's why I read these forums...you guys are pretty good natured...

Coney Hunter...are you trying to protect the identity of your ferrets???

It was "Walking Tall", I didn't see it but really enjoyed rundown. This is the one to see...it come out this weekend in the States... Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior
