I don't think hunting is necessary.
I was in GA not too long ago deer hunting, I guess there was a drought so the deer were not in their normal pattern. After having no luck for a few days in a blind which was boring anyways I went tracking. So I see tons of track about 10am and I lie down on the forest floor on my back with my rifle on my chest. I hear dry leaves cracking and slowly look over to my left. There was a doe about 10ft from me....my heart starts to pump harder. My rifle was pointing right since I shoot left. The doe looked right at me and kept on walking...so as soon as her head went behind a tree I take my rifle off safe, well she heard that and perked up and when I swung my rifle around she was running like no tomorrow. I took a couple shots but it was so close and fast I didn't have time to aim. Anyways the doe got away that day but she almost stepped on me. Its a decent story. Oh and I had a .243 that day.Quote:

Remington .270 semi auto (perfection)
I didn't hunt this year; I was given two back strips and two hind quarters, and didn't have room in freezer for more. BUT, next year Bambi better watch his A.S.S. :D ;)
well, fellas, i am severly intoxicated. i want to share with ya'll my feelings on this evening because despite our differences i feel that we all share........something..............my feelings on this evening : girls are HORSESHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(junkyard~ 30-06 is the way to go~)
I like 7mm better than 30-06, the .243 is nice because the kick is pretty small and accuracy is good.
30-06 is a gun i will not use one a deer... maybe and elk, i would use it... but a moose i would use a 30-06.... see i want to use the smallest fire arm(modern) to take out the animal i want to take out and let it be human, fair chace and legal...
the only 7mm i have ever shot, i will never shoot agin, because, my grandpa said i could have it for my first hunting trip, so that alone would make me be sad even after i had a deer in the back of the pick up, but, my uncle stole it, so ill most likely never see it agin... and at one point and time, i had to put down my white golden labadore, chaos, and my uncle said he would shoot him for me, but i wanted to go up there to know were chaos was going to be at while he slept... and my uncle, apperently dosent know how to kill... cause he shot once and all i heard while the dumb ass reloaded was whimpering and welping, and then the click of the bolt sliding back into place, and then the click of the trigure fallowed very fastly by the sound of the explosin the gun powder makes. falowed by the cuss words what the fuck... falowed by my dog whimpering some more, at that point i couldnt here the dumb ass try to kill my dog agin, i walked up to him grabed the rifle, put 3 or 4 shells in it, walked over to my dog, petted him a few times, and put the rifle to his heart, pulled the trigure, i didnt hear the bang of even the little clicking noise that a gun makes when its dry fired or when its bullet is a dud, so i opean the bolt, the shell pops out, i and i close the bolt, pull the trigure, same thing happens agin, and once more agin, until i have no more bullets in the rifle, and then i relise that thers a pile of empty 7mm rifle shells laying around my feat, and that my dog no longer even twithches, and i relised that while i was killing my dog, after hearing my uncle try to shoot, i had just tuned the whole world out, becase i couldnt stand to hear chaos, or anyother animal in pain from a person who dosent know the kill shoots...
there are 3 bad memories for me on the hands of the 7mm that was sapost to be mine..
hey you guys, rember its all personal oppinions on what guns to use to hunt....i know some people that will use a .22 to unt deer, and will take it out in basicaly the same way as some one who uses a bow.... then there are the ones that use a 30-06, that have to pack around the guns that seam to weigh in at about 50 pounds.... must be preaty stong guys, but, i like the part in hunting were the games you play are fair, and still human, like between a .243 and .270(maybe just for fucks sake a 30-30 cause in the older days, thats what they used) for deer, for elk and moose and bear, something bigger, like a .300, or a 30-06 for small game, ill take my pellet gun that uses the 12 grams co2 tanks.. or a .22
c02 is too unpredictable, i used to have a HPA .22 air rifle, it was nice, but i eventually but a ruger 10/22 with REAL .22 bullets.
mehh... like i said, its all personal oppinions on what guns to use... i mean, i can get my hands on any gun ill ever need want or see...(my uncle runs a pawn shop and has a licence to sell automatic rifle and hand guns) and has a few sitting in the back rooom because he cant find anyone with permit to buy them....Quote:

cooler than jesus~ is it legal to hunt with semi-autos where you're from. here in pa, you can use a semi-auto shotgun, but not a rifle.
the guns i use are ~ for deer a 30.-.06, i like the 30-06 because its such a versatile gun. my uncle uses a .270 and we argue about it every year. i like the knock down power of a 30-06. the last deer i shot was about 250 yards away, hit him in the heart, he took one step and fell over dead.
for small game i like a 20 gauge better than a twelve, i use three inch nitro mags for birds, and 2 3/4 inch for squirrels. i like the twenty because it doesnt do as much damage to a critter as a 12
and i use on occasion a remington fieldmaster .22 for squirrels, which makes it a lot more challenging. i dont take it out very often though, it seems every time i go out for squirrels with a .22 i run into grouse.
by the way ~ alcohol is wicked dangerous.
