I m not vahunter...have no clue who he is...but since everyone who condemns rifle hunting once to put out triple digit numbers as to how far us "outlaws" as u like to imply, shoot them i just figured id set the record straight as for myself!!! And i just guess they are bad shots...and they should be using a shotgun to help them close the deal, who knows!!!

Barry...would be more than glad to tell you, give you there cell numbers, etc. but kinda take the remark u left a lil negative...so i think i ll pass!!!!

elk addict.......im with WVBOY. I know 3 guys that are close friends of mine that turkey hunt with rifles. i just like WVBOY politley decline to hunt with them. Is it legal to hunt with a rifle? YES.....Do i choose to? NO.....As a matter of fact i have a freind that called me this afternoon and he shot one with the 22 mag. and cant find it. Turkey was shot at 60 yards he said, and i know he can shoot because hes a fire arms instructor. I have hunted almost every day of turkey season so far and have yet to have one CLOSE enough (40 yards or less) for me to take a ethical shot. So as of right now i am sitting on 3 unfilled turkey tags. Now that said....if i hunted with a rifle i could have filled all 3 tags because at least 3 birds ive called in have hung up at 50 yards or so. Just killing a turkey isnt what it about for me. Being in nature and calling a turkey CLOSE enough where you can hear him breath is what its about for me! Now that said i dont thank any less of someone because they hunt with a rifle. I just LIKE THEM CLOSE! No hard feelings.....good luck and hunt safe

Elk addict,
Yes I made one remark that MAY have been a "lil negative" as you put it.
I also made ammends for that remark a few posts back.

As my Daddy used to say "The more you stir it, the worse it stinks."
I'll leave it at that.

Best of luck to ya,

barry

Good call Barry...

As usual this subject matter goes downhill fast...
