Need help with hunting rifle.

Funny what anti hunters think is effective.

About 25 years ago a guy on my soccer team dated an interesting series of ladies with names that included Bambi, Velvet, and Pixie. They were all very nice, sweet ladies with great ink IMO, but some of the other guys on the team and my future wife were a little judgmental. They said things like his mother must REALLY LOVE them.

1stimestar That sounds very good especially that your kids are also shooting. My oldest daughter shot well when she was very young. At a YMCA campout she won 1st place over 100+ girls and many dads who shot for their daughters. My theory is that many girls do better at shooting and fly fishing etc than boys their age because on average they listen to instruction better. Unfortunately my kids were allowed to watch silly movies like Bambi so after a while they refused to hunt and fish. Should have moved to Alaska and controlled the TV better. LOL That friend who went to Alaska for caribou and bear has a 14 year old daughter that shot a 15 point non-typical deer last year. He was always very anti-Disney Bambi and such. LOL

Edit: Be sure not to mix in tracer rounds when you go to the rife range like this knuckle head did in DFW, TX about a year ago. It was one of those OMG I can't believe he did that moments. Some men really are idiots… LOL

What a dip..... I've never shot tracer rounds except when I was in the military.

We can watch Bambi then go hunting. We don't have deer up here so we're safe lol.

I'd go 30-06. It will take down about and animal on the North American continent.

There is an intro section at if you care to stop and say Hey.

That was the decision.......If you would have read the whole thread.

I didn't get one yet as I bought the kids .22 for Christmas. I have the whole winter to get one. I'm going with a 30.06 though.

Lol I did end up getting a Ruger M77. I posted about it somewhere here. Ready for my spring bear hunt on the north slope. WOOT!

[kyratshooter]

Did 1TS kill anything with that '06 last year?

Anybody remember?

We'll have to send her a pm and ask.

[1stimestar]

Not yet! Unfortunately my friend that I was going with was in a severe snow machine accident in Feb. and had to come to town for over 4 months for surgeries and rehab. We are going to try for bear this fall though. She's not allowed to shoot due to too many broken bones (clavicle and vertebrae) but she wants to help me get one.

[hunter63]

That wouldn't be Sue would it?
An episode where she get injured is coming up soon......

[kyratshooter]

I watched her crash and burn just a few minutes ago.

BOOM!

and she was just lying there on the ice by her dead snow machine as the screen faded to black.

[1stimestar]

Yup. They'll go more into it this next episode on Thurs. 2 surgeries for immediate problems and 4 months rehab. She's now not supposed to shoot a rifle ever again (like that is going to happen) and has more surgeries scheduled for next winter.

[hunter63]

Yeah well they told me not to shot a shot gun....for a while....and as long as I'm not duck hunting ( you shoot ALOT) I should be fine.
On or two shot here and there are fine...

Hope it work out for her, but from what I have seen she isn't gong to just quit.
Tell her heal fast, from all of us......

[1stimestar]

That's good to hear Hunter. The problem with her break was that it also split her clavicle lengthwise. Had to have screws and wires holding it together. But I imagine by next year she'll probably be shooting again.

[kyratshooter]

I swear, if they told me I could never shoot again I would sell everything I own and buy a towed artillery piece!

Set it up, load it up, then pull the string.

Maybe a Gattling gun. Can you fire a Gattling gun from the hip?

MaDuce on a vehicle mount or tripod.

I'd think of something!

[1stimestar]

She's already in talks with a gunsmith to make her something to shoot from the hip. It includes a lcd screen/viewfinder/site too lol.

[kyratshooter]

There was a time, back in the day, when long range pistol shooters and pistol hunters used some big bore guns that were not shoulder fired.

I have seen TC Contenders in all sorts of calibers and I have owned a couple of bolt action pistols in .308 and .243.

That is one cheaper alternative to the electronic set up.
