Things you love to hunt but don't tell anyone about
There is a saying about fat girls that they are fun to have sex with but you don't tell anyone about it. I think there are animals that are not romantic to shoot or talk about but people love to hunt. For me this is the lowly warthog. I love to shoot them. Wildebeeste would be my second favoite to shoot. What do you love to shoot

It's not an African hunt if I don't shoot an impala. Don't know why, but love to hunt them.

Max, gotta go along with you. I think a wartie would have to be on my menu, everytime I hunted Africa.

Hogs, hunting any type of hog, anywhere, is just good old fashioned fun!

Pigs, pigs and more pigs. Warties,bushpigs, feral hogs. I love a good pig shoot.


We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

Bushbucks. I think I would rather hunt them than most anything else. Only thing that might be better is their big brother the Nyala.

Baboons just for the fun of it.
everything else because hunting is what I like to do

Guinea Fowl and Franklin with a .22-something.

Which is particulariy fun when topped with a beat up scope that changes point of aim just to make it more challenging!

Never hunted Africa, but I can not think of a single critter that I won't hunt that I would not admit too.

Armadillos, any time, any where, whatever gun I have in the pick up.

Rats at night with a 22 loaded with shot, armed a few beers, nothing like it.

I would not shoot anything that I would not admit to.


Even the rocks don't last forever.

After a few years of participation on forums, I have learned that:

One can cure:

Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it.


One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!


My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!

After 18 gemsbok and 15 warthogs I think I have found my addiction. "Hello, my name is Blank and I am a huntaholic- - -".

I don't know whether this counts, but hitting a tree top sitting crow with a .220 Swift on a sub-zero morning, facing the sunlight, sends out a corona of ice particles which glistens in the sunlight for one glorious instant.

Hitting a creature with a body the size of his fist at 300 yards as he sways in the wind gladdens an old glass eye shooter's heart.

I am shameless. I tell everyone but every thing I hunt, and I will damn near hunt anything. Same goes for fat girls. Never lied about what I killed or where I spent a saturday night.

Red eared sliders. With a 223, one second they are there, the next it rains turtle.


I hunt, not to kill, but in order not to have played golf....

The porcupine that I snuffed with a .22, 35 feet in the air in a winter-denuded tree in my yard. I did this on Saturday last. It's now Thursday, and that miserable SOB is still hanging up there like an albatross around my neck. He received another 200+ holes in him after he expired, but he remains prominently on display for any of my neighbours driving by.

Mind you, they already think that I am eccentric, so... Wink

Drove back from Twin Falls yesterday and the chucks were out in force, everywhere that there was lava rock. Get a little sunshine and it'll be party time with the 17 Fireball!
