When I used to hunt, I would use the dependable rifles handed down to me from my grandfather. They were single-round bolt-action rifles. I never returned empty-handed. All the whining is from people who want to live out their miniature tough-guy war fantasies, not real hunters.

he never told me what brought him to the realization that he could never kill a deer again; i never asked. he did say that he switched to bow & arrow "to make the fight more fair", & i respected him for that. he never killed for "fun" & always ate what he killed. he remains, however, a fisherman.

my brother, who was a lifelong hunter & who even switched to bow & arrow before he finally quit altogether, told me that even he was lying abt certain things he told me over the years. he also said that anyone who says they need a semi-automatic for hunting is absolutely lying.

Also there is no defense against an automatic rifle, so home defense is a myth.

That one Milwaukee guy @milwaukeeclintonv.bsky.social

Hotter take: a gun of any kind is an unfair advantage. Go out there and punch a moose if you’re a real tough guy.

my brother, who is a fisherman in his soul, switched to bow & arrow & said he wanted a more fair fight, finally quit hunting. somethng made him come to the point where he could never kill another deer. & he did butcher & eat what he killed, so i cant fault him for that, although for many yrs i did.

perhaps i faulted him for it bx i knew somehow that what he was telling me, to justify killing animals, were lies. he didnt NEED to hunt for his food, but he did eat what he killed...ducks, deer & small mammals. mostly fowl & deer, though. he later admitted that he told me lies, which is admirable.

i love that hard-core blue collar brother, who no longer speaks to me. he once told me: "so i was out on the lake when some guy rowed up & asked me how's the fishin. i told him fishing is always great. ooohh, you mean CATCHING--bx fishing & catching are 2 different things." so tommy IS "all there",!

If you can't hunt with a bow and arrow you're not actually trying.

It's not about hunting, it's about the "pew pew pew" to make up for their small .. umm .. masculinity .. American children must die so that the gun companies can make their profits .. secured by the lobbyists putting money into congress pockets. And America can;t be bothered to change that.
