Make those six shots count.

Go fuck yourself, Zimmerman, you fucking psycho niggerhunter.  All I need is one.

Haven't  done one of those in awhile.  :)

Saw that happen at the range yesterday with Mr. Sig Sauer,  My revolver laughed at him.

Ugh. Sig Sauer fanboys.

A guy at the range the other day let me shoot his FNX-45 Tactical by FN.  What a well-designed pistol-- nice ergonomics, very accurate, feels like half the weight of my 1911 and somehow less recoil.  If I just had $1300 burning a hole in my pocket.

Shame.  Now he can't use that excuse again.

Reminds me of a picture I saw once in an ad for hunting gear, years ago. Showed some proud hunters standing over a deer they had shot. They were wearing what looked like deer suits, complete with antlers, presumably so they could sneak up on the deer.

All I could think of was "what kind of moron goes outdoors in deer hunting season wearing a deer suit?"  :lol: And "why are they advertising this stupidity like it was normal?"

That is dumb.  I just set up in a fully enclosed (now heated) shelter and wait.

Should be doing it from a copter!

It gets lazier.

A Quebec outfit near our far northern cottage was engaged in "bear bating".

What this involves, is setting up fancy camouflaged shelters, and then setting up bear feeding stations a few yards in front of them. Then, spend a while setting out food for the bears, get them used to coming to those stations, and habituated to these nice folks who feed them. 

Then, sell to American tourists the chance to hunt a real live bear!

The tourist goes into the shelter ... and lo and behold, a bear wanders right in front of the shelter! At such a close range, even the lamest and most myopic American tourist can't fail to hit. The tourist goes home delighted to play the mighty hunter, and the guide gets a big tip.

what's the percentage chance of the bear eating the tourist? Because that would be funny.

Close to 0%. Black bears aren't particularly dangerous. Every once in a while one attacks someone, but it is very unusual. Plus, they have an experienced (and armed) guide with them. They are probably safer than if they went to Disneyland.

Interestingly, the practice is completely legal (though regulated - can't bait in certain places at certain times).
