I just moved from a rural location to the land of urban sprawl. I'm not sure when I'll be able to hunt next, so the guns I'm interested in are those that fall into the category of lot's of fun at the range and can also hunt.
Hunting is dying sport left to the wealthy. The land out there is either posted or leased to the privileged memebers of the so called 'Hunt Clubs' to which one will not be accepted. Had good amount of land in past but I sold it because I didn't live locally and when I went there to hunt there was no game to be seen (all poached out).
I hear you buddy. Since I moved to WA I have not harvested a single pig.
Might want to check Ohio's new hunting laws. Will be able to use straight cased cartridges in a rifle. 3 shots max.
Can anyone explain the logic behind straight wall pistol cartridges only? If they think it's less powerful, a .44 Mag is legal, but a .38-40 is illegal because it's a bottleneck?Might want to check Ohio's new hunting laws. Will be able to use straight cased cartridges in a rifle. 3 shots max.
As shown earlier the statistics don't back your assertion. Too, I know here in South Dakota, there is a lot of land available for public use. In fact my family has over 700 acres in the Walk-In Area program that anyone can hunt big or small game on, so long as they access the area by foot (and no, there's no some uber-long hike to get there....you can drive to the fence-line and park there without issues). I often hear about people complaining of lack of access, and then when countered, argue the quality of the land or animals found there. That said, I've take 170 class mule deer off of public land no more than a mile from my parent's front door. The land and the animals are there if you care to look in a good many areas. "Lack of access" and "hunting is a rich man's sport these days" seem to be excuses for a lot of people that simply don't want to put any effort into fidning a place to hunt. You may not be given a treasure map with X marking the spot you'll get a trophy kill, but even minimal effort will often get you a place to hunt. It might mean making phone calls, knocking on doors, or studying (and understanding) maps of public access areas, but the opportunities, at least in most areas, are there if you look a bit deeper than than average hunter is willing to....Hunting is dying sport left to the wealthy.
