I think Vapo has you on "ignore" like most, so maybe he'll see it now.  | |||

Like most?

Indeed I do....just don't waste my time reading lack of substance posts. As to the answer....I did receive a reply as I said to Ted's post. I've noticed a similar "lack of substance" debate with Will on the double rifles forum. When it comes to DG hunting Will has been there.....I'd listen to his advice anyday!.... I wonder how many folks arguing with him have even seen a wild elephant or Cape Buffalo while hunting.....talk is cheap on these forums! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

If you do not read posts with a lack of substance, then you probably don't read your own posts. _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

Sure is; I've shot Cape Buffalo with a slingshot while in Africa , so what? If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

It's still a good yarn now, but doesn't hold a candle to my 500 yard HMR moose shot  | |||

Can anyone play? Well its a long story but as a friend of mine is want to say, I'll make a long story short. Basically, no animals were harmed during the composition of my post. I had yougurt for breakfast, coffee and a banana. I had two eggs also, but not bacon or ham. (You know the story about bacon and eggs. For the chicken its no big deal, but for the pig its total commitment.) So far so good. Now as to the substance of the post. This is one of my success stories that I don't tell to often and usually only to my closest associates as folks that don't know me might question my veracity. Lord knows after 32 years of marriage,kids and grandkids I couldn't take that. I've mentioned before on one thread or another that there are so many coons at my lease (the four legged kind) that I 'bout run out of ammo putting them down. Well at first, as I'm usually needing to slake my thirst, I'd try takin' those coons the best three out of four shots.  After a while, the word got out. Them coons would be lined up for a hundred yards just waitin' to try me on (or maybe they just liked Jim Beam). But that got expensive as I get less than 20 shots out of a bottle. Being a man of modest means I decided that a brite-white smile was a renewable resource and really didn't take that much effort. So I've taken to grinning them into submission. Well I got to thinking, what if I could do this with big game animals. I tried it on an axis buck. Brushed my teeth twice that morning. Splashed on some red fox cover scent for good measure. He didn't have a chance. Once he was stunned, I just ambled up and made him the offer that if he would trade his coat for my old carhart denim shirt, I'd quit grinnin' at him. Being at a disadvantage and it was pretty warm out He agreed. Didn't even have to skin him. That's the true story of how I came up with the cape pictured below.  PS, I also left him with some SPF 30 sunblock. I think I got the better part of the bargain, but I didn't want him to get a sunburn. GWB | |||

Good one Geedubya! Considering the level of nonsense with which this post was started; I'd say it's fair game for anyone and everyone. Although I wasn't joking about the cape. Not enough momentum to put him down, but it sure raised a dust cloud off his butt. If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

When it comes to DG it seems that I am not the only one that disagrees with Will As the following quotes proves and from a man with more experience than Will and one that actually understands what he observes

I have used the 222, 223, 22-250 and 6x45 on game up to 300 or more pounds, but mostly on deer and Africn antelope..They all work if you use a good strong bullet and place the in the right spot.. The bigger guns also work under the same circumstances.. The bigger guns give you more range of sure killing power by a good deal. The bigger guns leave a much much better blood trail and that is most important..

...as proven by the 17 grain HMR TNT on the American Bison I pounded at over 300 yards! Well-placed right behind the big bull's shoulder, broadside.... | |||
