Work as hard as you want, enjoy as much as you can, don’t let the limit define your success.

Exactly how the typical liberal goes through life. The rules apply to someone else.

Thanks, jimmy. You call yourself out with abandon, with most every post.




Best,
Ted

Absolutely right Ted. If Donald Trump shot doves in a residential safety zone with BB gun, Dimmy W would want to see him charged with several more phony felonies, and would accuse him of killing the last remaining passenger pigeon too.

But if you keep mentioning the obvious... you are going to end up on Dimmy's dreaded Mr. 2% list... which may be as extensive as his IGNORE list.

Stan, I have taken many limits of Dove and ducks in my life. It is a goal but not measure of my day like it was when I was younger. If I can swap a full limit, for just helping a young shooter have a good day I am just as happy. Many late season limits are as much about fine shooting at difficult birds as anything else. You do not kill 15 late season Dove, pass shooting, with wind to assist the birds without a lot of effort. A full limit opening day is child's play in comparison. But if I have had a good day at 10 then that can be my self imposed limit just as well. Or one perfect shot can be a limit in itself. That 50 yard finishing shot on a bird leaving the field to die UN-recovered in the woods. Slow movements, perfect line, perfect lead, perfect shot placement and quick bird recovery by my dog can be a perfect day in one long event.

I grew up hunting an area I could take three legal limits of quail by driving from one state to the next. 16 was the highest aggregate legal total I remember. I could start out on my cousin farm in Delaware, then move ten mile away to any number of farms in Maryland and finish 20 miles away in Virginia. We could take four in one state and six each in the other two. Just had to tag birds to keep limits separate for the game wardens. As a teen I did that once and decided volume was not everything.

I watched invited guest hunt our farms and take two limits and think nothing about it. When I informed my father what they did, he would just not invite them back again in most cases. One fellow, he did allow back, was a special case. Today we would call it PTSD, in those days we said he had a bad war. We made sure Mr. Ed had a place to hunt, by himself, at least once a year. I would handle the dogs and take him right to the best coveys we had. He would take his two limits and act like he was a kid again. It was 20 years after his passing before I understood my fathers point in letting him have that feeling again. My father, Mr. Ed and I were all wrong, but in hind sight I do not care that much. Mr. Ed had a hard, short life, did what he did in the war, came out a vastly changed man and never had the life he ought to have, had the war never happened, only to die by age 50.

"Someone here posted a picture of a fellow lined up on a pheasant walking on the ground, and the text read something like, "Are you going to shoot it walking on the ground?" The reply was, "It will stop in a minute." I'd like to see it again!

Goodg post by the OP. I hate seeing it while pa'tridge hunting and IMO, it speaks poorly of the shooter if they are casual about their reasons and the ethics of it. Road hunters w/ 410's or small caliber rifles are the worst.

There’s a recent video on YouTube, showing a group of wildlife biologist from some western states doing all of the things that offend people here. Not the least of which is climbing a tree to shoot a spruce hen off the branch.

Clearly it boils down what’s legal.

And then each person is free to add the restrictions they want.

Some famous writer wrote of shooting grouse in the “pre-flight condition”.

The thumping of a big bore four wheeler mimics the drumming of a youthful, ruffed grouse so well, it literally draws them to the road to fight.

If I wanted to run around in October and November, shooting young males off the log in grouse country, I would stay home.

Hunting then in shorts is my style restriction.

Those are the rules in my city. We are permitted to shoot animals like squirrels and doves (with a non-firearm) that damage our property and I have a city permit to do so. I felt as badly as you do. But......... So, as always, you (and keith -Mr. 2%) can stop with the political BS. And I'm not a liberal. It's called an independent-moderate and that's the way it is in this country. Whether you radical nut jobs (as John Boehner puts it) like it or not................. And to answer Kolar's remarks below, I voted for many Republicans in the past. And I will gladly vote Republican again when they have someone other than a liar, criminal nutcase who is worthy of a decent person's vote. Not someone who screams he's a Christian, yet can't quote a single verse from the bible. How I vote proves who I am and what my political beliefs are. So, your words mean absolutely nothing to me. But, nice try.................. and to answer craigd's remark below. Glad you like my "locker room talk". And for you to whine about it- just shows who YOU are.

No. I will respectfully disagree with Jimmy "gee Golly" W self assessment. I will try to word this in a way that will not derail the thread or have it locked. For Jw to think he is moderate is as delusional as Harris being intelligent, Walz being deployed in combat, a coach, not a drunk, ivf wife or his lying origin story being true or Biden being compos mentos. None would be true.

Brent the narcissist and dog abuser, Jimmy and ......are far left if not commie. Years of following Govt indoctrination, scared and having their bread buttered as such. Climate, TDS, Gun rights etc. Commie left, not even close.

Can they have a leftist view point. Sure. Their right.
Are they afraid to come out their closet. It sure looks that way. Why? Cowardice comes to mind.

But hard to buy into their commie narrative as mainstream or moderate. Similar to a bald man with a set of plugs or toupe trying to fool others that he is not a cueball.

I'm not willing to lug a 15-20 lb. rifle and scope around to shoot ultra long range. But if somebody is, I guess have at it. I don't think that would be an advantage in my spots. Maybe there would be instances and locations where it makes sense.

Every content creator is looking for something original and/or weird to post. Sometimes that is shooting an animal at 1000 yds. The competition to get views and likes is what drives the dumb shit on YouTube and TV. They are trying to sell adds and make money. Same with fishing shows. It sucks but everybody has to pay the bills. Few people actually do it.

I almost always use a .270 or 6.5. My max distance is what I'm willing to lug around. No ethics involved.
