Alternative methods of taking game

[Norske]

Do 45-70, 6.5X55 Swede Mauser, 300 Savage, or 257 Roberts qualify as alternatives? Not many stores carry ammunition for those.

Anybody here ever try anything different? Here are a few examples:


- friend took a doe with an M1 Garand (you know who you are)

I got myself a nice doe 2 years ago with a 43 Springfield Garand. Heavy rifle to walk around with but it was a fun change of pace. Last year got a doe with a 1950 K31 topped with a Swiss Products mount and a 3X9 scope.This year going to try again to get a shot with my 45LC Blackhawk.

Nice to know I'm not the only weirdo who gets creative. Just gave my neighbor a smokin' deal on my AR10 today. Forgot to ask if he's on NDA. Anyway, now I gotta replace it. I really want a SCAR17 but man is that price tag a hit to the nuts.

I don't know why more don't go after spring turkey with their carry gun. For the life of me, this is perfect! You don't have to hit them in the head for a kill and you always have two hands free until the shot! Same placement as with a bow!

Does everyone know this is legal?

My brother outfitted a blowgun with a fishing reel and rod tip, then modified some darts with barbs and line attached. Hed shoot fish and rel em in. It was pretty fun.

Brian Renville: that story was hilarious

MSA: im 100% sure that your family is some sort of genetically altered super humans. Homemade blowdart gun for fishing!?! That's pretty BA!

Its a old book " A sporting chance" by Daniel Mannix published in the early 60's Interesting read. He hunts deer with a blow gun in La. Ducks with a boomerang, Coyotes with a trained Cheetah,traditional Archery, crossbows, falconry etc.

Vollmer, you should see the video we made fishing for big blue n green lizards. Genetically altered? No, more like dropped on our heads and ate paint chips as kids.

I think one of your relatives was at my shop the other day. He brought in a 2001 20' lund with a 200 merc looking for some paint. He mentioned he was your uncle or brother or something, i forgot, i was focused on something on the boat and wasnt paying close attention when he mentioned it.

A couple of years ago I was sitting in my tree stand and spotted a porcupine a couple trees over. Waited 3 hours with no deer so when the porcupine started moving I pinned him to the tree with an arrow.

old high school friend doesnt brake for deer. has killed or maimed DOZENS......if not more....

i do not approve. they do have depredation problems and the g&f has been little to no help

anyhow, g&f went after him HARD couple winters ago he took out no less than 7 deer in 1 pass within a 100 yard stretch of road. deep snow in the ditches kept the hearded up group on the road

g&f did not succeed in their prosecution. he's still at it. again, i do not approve but try not to judge (depredation is still in play)

they do allow hunters, neighbor doesnt/hasent for YEARS
