Oh hell yeah, Im from Iowa..c'mon.lol. I deer hunt with bow, muzzleloader, pheasant and quail hunt, turkey hunt, coyote hunt, and fish for flatheads in the desmoines river. I love being outdoors. Deer hunting with a bow is probably my favorite thing to do and pheasant hunting is second. I hunt with a pointing dog and that makes it all that more enjoyable.Originally Posted by Money Boss Hustla
My current weapons are...
1. Mathews Outback bow
2. Beretta A390 12 guage semi auto
3. Knight DISC .50 muzzleloder. Stainless w/ black composite stock
4. Ruger 7mm-mag. Stainless w/black composite stock.
I need more though cause you can never have too many guns.
awesome vids. Do you think that first praire dog in the first clip got away????

2) Savage Model 12 FV in .22 - 250
3) New England Firearms Sportster in .17 HMR

that was pretty cool video, i love to hunt and fish and do most anything outdoors.
i love deer hunting the most but love to dove and duck hunt as well.
my guns are a rem 22 rifle, sks w/30 round clip, ruger 243, remington 870 express. those are the guns i most frequently hunt with. i kill hogs with the sks, its awesome....
id like to hog hunt someday. No hogs in iowa unless theyre in a pen.Originally Posted by muff-chaser
u ever come down to Ga, let me know and ill take uOriginally Posted by Iowa
i like hunting for white tail deer, but just for food and sport. Those vids are just wrong IMO, those guys are just doing that for fun or to just kill.

I kind of agree, but I HATE coyotes.... When I was 13, I shot my first deer with a bow. I hit one lung, so it was able to run across the street onto our neighbors land. It was late at night, so we shined a spotter and we could see its eyes watchin us as it was bedded it down, we knew it was done.Originally Posted by abstrack
Only thing was, neighbor wasnt home, so we waited till morning to ask permission, by the time we got there, it was torn in shred by fckin coyotes. They are good for nothing.
ANYWAYS, we should use this thread to post some pictures of animals we got or fish we caught.... thatd be pretty cool.
Speak to any cattle rancher and they tell you different! Those little cock suckers cost ranchers hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. They dig holes throughout the fields and then a cow will step in one and break its ankle. The cow can't go to market like that...so they have to put it down. Lost $$. Gophers also carry disease. A cattle rancher will thank you for coming on their land and blowing gophers away.Originally Posted by abstrack
They are pests...no better than rats.
Agree, thats why there is no limit and a continuous open season here on coyotes. They do nothing for the ecosystem. Their reproductive success is so high, you cant kill enough of themOriginally Posted by Money Boss Hustla
Bump.

Looks fun.. being that in ny u cant have a lic till 21 I still have like 11 months to go before i can get a gun.. i would love to go hunting but my father isnt really into hunting so i can never get him to go get LIC.. either way whats a good rifle for a noob hunter..? i would hunt ducks and other things i can incorporate into my diet![]()
I use hollow points for anything under 150y. Also have all shells a bit hot loaded with extra grains. I can't shoot a bunch consecutively...the barrell gets too hot. Once hit...the gopher goes about 3 feet in the air. Just like in the vids.Originally Posted by hung-solo
that is hilarious.. i want to shoot some!! i know a guy who deer hunts with a 22-250 in open fields and is very successful..Originally Posted by Money Boss Hustla
i live in georgia to deca its awesome hunting here
One of the flatest shooting guns out there. Unfortunately...we can't use anything less than a .243 when shooting big game ie) deer, etc. **** laws!Originally Posted by hung-solo

That's some funny ****! Here is what i wanna use!

When my little bro got his first gun for x-mas, my dad bought him a ruger stainless steel, bolt action .243.... I love that gun, its so light, doesnt have any kick, and flies really flat.... I would recommend that gun to anyone starting out, or anyone in general.Originally Posted by Elliot
yea i have a ruger 243 they are kick ass guns i love mine but i am going to buy a 30-06 after deer season
I think 30.06 is one of the best all around guns for all big game. That and a .308 Both can be used for all game. Plus gophers!!Originally Posted by muff-chaser
Bastards!!
Have you got a bull barrell on there. My buddys got a bull barrell .243 and that thing is a TANK.Originally Posted by muff-chaser
I feel like I should move to the countryside after reading this thread...
but the videos are **** cool.![]()
no i don't have a bull barrel on it but my friend has one on his.17 caliber. it is a very accurate gun and we killed a beaver with it a couple weeks ago
Here are a couple my family got a few years back... the one with the 3 bucks is of me and my bro, i think i was 17, im the one of the left with the two bucks I got durin our 1 week gun hunt... The other, i forget who shot it, but it was takin down during a drive we did... unfortunately i was a driver and not a poster so i didnt get a shot at it, but its a group effort... i think it scored somewhere in the 170's
BTW, these were all shot in the national forest on public land
I love taking out varmint
My toy is a Ruger 10/22 slightly modified
Black 10/22
-Volksquarten trigger group mod
-Green mountain heavy fluted barrel
-Hard rubber bolt stop
-Modified original stock for now (am in the process of carving my own thumbhole stock from sugar maple)
-Tasco 1.5-5x scope (an older model with good japanese optics, not the new taiwaneese ones)
-Original bolt spring for shooting normal ammo, and a snipped light bolt spring to shoot CB-Longs subsonic ammo.
-5 30 shot clips (yes they are legal for rimfire weapons here!)
I have a nice bi-pod for it but not installed yet.
This toy is scary accurateVarmint don't stand a chance.

that is some good SH!T....
reminds me of the time me and my cousins destroyed a toilet with an sks. at 50 cents a shell that gets very expensive. great vids!
Enjoyed the vids!!! LOL![]()
Probably the only critter more adaptable than a coyote is the cockroach. Them suckers are SMART and they can get used to just about any environment. No matter how badly we modify/poison the earth, the humble but hardy coyote will still be around.Originally Posted by Iowa
I do disagree about them serving no useful purpose. Most "varmints" have their role in the bigger scheme of things. But they don't have to exist EVERYWHERE, and force commerce or agriculture to take a back seat to them. They have protection on wildlife refuges and national parks and wilderness areas. They don't need protection on grazing or farm land IMHO. I believe a man's land and business should also have protection from varmints, and the rancher or farmer has just as much right to exist as a prairie dog or gopher or coyote. There must be a balance. Making a sport of eliminating varmints in the proper context and setting makes sense to me. A prairie dog suffers a lot less having his head blown off by a 6mm mag or a 223 than he would from being poisoned. Zero that scope. Brew up that batch of hot hand-loads. Call up your shooting buddy, and go grease some gophers. It's the right thing to do.
I have a bipod. Nothing beats it for long shooting.Originally Posted by Red Ketchup
1.5-5X? Coyotes are too spooked around here for close shooting. I have a Bausch & Lomb Elite 6-24X 50mm. Sunshade on it...it's probably about 18 inches long. Looks crazy!! Ranchers get scared when they see me carrying that thing. Big ass scope and bipod...they think I'm some paramilitary freak.
Yeah, I was on a varmit hating spree there...Youre right, everything has a use, but they must be in controlled numbers.Originally Posted by The Baron
My logic is if you're not going to eat it, don't kill it.
He he he I'll install the bipod on my new stock when I finish carving it. When it's done I'll post pics here, it'll look wicked cool.Originally Posted by Money Boss Hustla
As for the scope, 1.5x-5x is about as much as you can use around where I hunt, the forest is really dense so you're lucky if you can see 50-100ft when the leaves have fallen!
I love the light bolt spring + subsonic rounds to exterminate the chipmunks and field mice on my property...and I hunt hare and partridge with the normal rounds (partridge with a 22 is quite a challenge, you need a headshot if you don't wanna ruin the meat).
