In the city???? Rarely, unless I am actually trying to find the criminals. Naw....I am like "Daddyzaring". I load up my wallet with the plastic, put the family in the car, head over to the local grocery store & then push & shove people out of the way for the good deals. Does that count??

I eat everything but the predators and groundhogs. The predators get skinned and tanned, groundhogs feed the predators.

You forgot handgun as an option.

I was drawn for elk this year after about eight years since last drawn. I will be packing a Remington 721 30-06 Ackley Improved & also a Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 Mag w/ a Nikon 2x. If I can get close enough, I would love to take one with a handgun.

 

[Bearcarver]

I retired from the hunting world, when my son started bagging enough meat for all of us to eat. I have 14 rifles, shotguns, and handguns. When I hunted, my favorite weapons were:

.308 Winchester Lever action Model #88 (bought when I came home from Vietnam).

Savage 24DL over&under 22LR over 20gage (Christmas Present when I was 15).

Jennings Arrow star (haven't bowhunted for many years---since I tore up my shoulder & collar bone).

My wife and I both hunt elk and deer. We always seem to have plenty of meat.

 

[jjwdiver]

I used to hunt and fish, but do neither now. Guess I lost my hunting party over time and then life got in the way. Ithica 20 ga., Remmingon 870 Express-lefty (Ithica worked great for us leftys). Still have the Remmy, and miss the Ithica...but have graduated to handguns. Now I hunt paper targets and other things at the range.

I'd like to open my bedroom window and hunt that damn robin that cant get a date and starts chirping outside the window every morning at 4:45...but the wife says I cant!

 

[coyote-1]

I used to bow hunt; I took a couple of deer back in my teens and early 20s with a beautiful wood recurve bow given me by an uncle.

I don't anymore. Though I might opt to do so in the future.... but I just don't get a thrill from killing things so it's unlikely.

No way I'd go out there during rifle season. Too many idiots out there with guns

I have no objection to gun ownership, I just wish people would be more skilled and responsible with them. Bowhunting accidents are almost unheard-of, while every year a number of people get shot by errant hunter's .30s.

For most of my life (starting out as a six year old 'bird dog') I have been an upland game bird hunter, dove, quail, pheasant and turkey. I also love waterfowl hunting for ducks and geese as well as deer, rabbit and squirrel. My favorite tool for most of this is the shotgun but for deer I will use the centrerfire and BP rifles.
