3 hours later, the rifle is clean

[Shockwave]

Well that took a while. Had to remove some rust, broke it down, scraped out all the crud. End result? A squeeky clean Winchester 9422 ready to go hand out death to the little birds n bunnies.

Well, actually I like them too.
It gives me something to shoot

 

[Azraele]

Shoot bottles.

That's not very environmentally friendly or safe. Animals can get cut on the glass that could otherwise be recycled.

Invariably, broken glass WILL become a problem for someone.
Besides, if you can get a headshot on a bird on a pwoer line (Fairly easy to do) the birds muscles dont relax. But, he has no balance, being dead and all. He'll fall over, and hang upside down from the power line. Its really funny to see the bird hanging upside down from the power line.

so what happens when you hit the line? just hope that phase didn't go to your house? if you need to shoot birds, shoot them off something useless like a phone line

I fail to see the funny. I can respect hunting to a certain degree. But the idea of enjoying taking a life or even finding it funny scares me.

Granted in certain fields people who have to see death every day tend to develop a sense of humor about it as a way to deal with the stress.

Don't shoot an animal unless you're going to eat it. Using them for target practice isn't humane.

I like static target practice myself. I guess if America somehow collapsed and I couldn't get food I'd go hunting, but otherwise I wouldn't really hunt. I do eat deer sausage sometimes though.

When I was little I hit a bird with a BB gun and messed up its feathers. It spiraled down and hit a boathouse and fell into the water.

A few years later I hit a squirrel with a 12-gauge from literally 3 feet away. Even if I were so inclined, there wouldn't have been any meat left on it.

After that I decided not to hunt unless I was going to eat what I killed.

You're right, it's much better to just shoot animals instead, as he indicated he does.

 

[Shockwave]

Well, its funny to me. But then again, I absolutely HATE blackbirds and magpies.

Around my house people shoot wood peckers because they like to peck away at the eaves of houses. There's some rather large holes caused by them on our house.

How much wood would a woodpecker peck if a woodpecker could pecker wood?

 

[Demon-Xanth]

They can peck wood, and they peck an f'ing $#!^load of wood.

Hitting the power line was never good. Very rarely, it was BAD. We used .22's, so we werent packin firepower, but it still wasnt a highlight shot. Usually you'd get a good twang from the line and that was about it. Once or twice, we'd hit the cable just right to break one of the strands. You'd sit there and watch it unwind goin "oh shyte! oh shyte!" then drive like mad.
Points day were fun. Most shooters points are racked up by hittin the bullseye, or surrounding rings. Our points day? Fine day. Take the monetary value of said bird, that was the amount of points you get for shooting it. No birds of prey. No exceptions. Owls and hawks were exempt from our killing sprees. One day while out with our SKS's we went into a old barn. Damned floor had rotted out and there were just scads of field mice. I'm really suprised one of us didnt lose a foot in the shooting spree that followed. You'd blast the floor, see a few mice scurry, then just lay hell down in that area. Wait a minute and you'd hear one scamper, lay hell down and follow where he might be running. Good times.

You have to realize, this was all in high school. We ranged a 3 state area While most kids would get out of school and go sit on their fat asses watchin cartoons, we were out playin in the countryside. While most kids would sit with their fat ass friends trying to get to the next stage on thier Megaman, we were out climing hills and seein what there was to see. While most kids were sittin around getting high and contemplating the meaning of life (at age 16 mind you) we were out at our favorite fishin hole with our poles in the water on stands, wandering the banks playing Carp Shoot. My childhood was good. I wouldnt trade it for the world.

This is my mentality..

I couldn't ever kill something just for "fun"..

That's sick.

Same here, really. I've lived in the mountains nearly half my life.

Except we go camping/fishing/swimming and then get high & wander the banks.
