And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
And it's even harder when you're stupid. Like so many things today, looks completely staged. High end rifle with a ridiculous stock and a can, yet supposedly hunting high up in the snow with dark camo, no snowshoes, no gaiters and no pack. Either the pants are the wrong material for the task as they're not shedding the snow, or the snow's sticking to them because they're still warm from just stepping out of his jacked up super duty crew cab pickup that's parked about fifty yards behind him.
You are so right. This is what is wrong with a lot of "hunting" today. It has become more about "sniping" than hunting. Having hunted in heavy bush at -20C, I am often reminded of a quote from Dick Wolfe who wrote for 'Guns and Ammo': "I hate hunting in the cold, but I love having hunted in the cold". Steve_in_Ottawa
Bagged an elk in Arizona, took awhile, they are a bit shy, finally got within a hundred yards, used my trusty Ruger .44 Carbine, DRT thru the neck, that way if he still had it in him to run he couldn't, didn't want to chase the thing thru all those Joshua trees and scrub, thats the beauty of the .44 out of a rifle, massive shock trauma in a key spot. Tasty meat, love the hamburg best, its really nice meat, close to moose meat I think, cept less fat. Got some excellent knife handles from the rack it had.
Looks like a Lazzeroni, maybe an older model.
ReplyDeleteThese days that’s a $9,000 rifle, plus options.

If one can afford a $9,000 rifle, one can afford to feed it.
DeleteLazzeroni Ammunition ranges from $99.99 to $599.99 for a 20 round box.

DeleteFor hunting game, go where they are, when they are. Otherwise, it's just an interesting walk.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cold sonagun to me.

DeleteThe hard part begins with dragging your kill back out.
ReplyDeleteLet’s see what this mighty hunter can bag with a Winchester 94. Shooting elk at 500+ yards is not hunting.
