I figured I was under gunned so I just bought a ruger 454 casull. Well my hand has been known to clutch a beer from time to time. I think I would like to continue that.. That gun is way more than a 44 mag. The blast is felt through your body.. 300 grain. Holy crap.. Hope I never need it as getting eaten by a bear is less intense.. Ever shoot one ugh don't Lol.. Great gun however |

14 Sep 17 - 04:44 AM (#3876971) Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap and gnu From: Teribus What's legal size for Moose Olddude? Just about to go on our Elg hunt in October- the landowner and the Norwegian Wild Life authorities tell us what animals are on our ticket. We normally have five allocated to our group for the week (mature bull; two one and a half year olds; two calves) It is very rare to get a cow and they prefer it and we agree that any orphaned calf on is preferable toto shoot as it would not survive the winter, or one calf from pair of twins - never a single calf accompanied by its mother. |

14 Sep 17 - 10:36 AM (#3877042) Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap and gnu From: Bee-dubya-ell Dan, if you ever actually have to use that big-bore Ruger for its intended purpose of defense against a charging large animal, its recoil will feel like a .22 target pistol. You see, when you're target shooting with a hand-cannon like that, you unconsciously clench up your anal sphincter. That causes the recoil to reverberate through your entire body. But when a Griz is charging at you, the first thing you do is relax your anal sphincter and shit your pants. That gives the recoil a path out of your body. Don't believe me? Next time you feel like shooting the thing, try it while sitting on the toilet. |

Saw three brow tines but no fours.. Loads of cows walking by... Massive critters for sure. Some places in alaska its any bull.. Some are three brow tines.. Others are at least 50 inch rack.. Changes by the population census |

14 Sep 17 - 06:23 PM (#3877110) Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap and gnu From: gnu Okay. I settled down. Gee... I wish I could go but you know my situation. Sigh. As for side irons, we Canucks don't use them. Against the law. I personally don't like that law but I understand it. It was enacted in 1933 and it really doesn't fit "today's situation" but you have to understand the British Parliamentary system (which we have in Canada). That system works like this... don't change any laws unless they are more restrictive no matter if the laws are stunnedasmearse*. Now. Regarding a side arm that can break your wrist and make you deaf... if it saves you from being eaten, well... BANG! *Unless big companies can make $$$ and give kickbacks to your political party and you. Hence... recreational weed. The assholes. (I LIKE medical weed... don't want recreational weed.) rANT OVER. cAPSLOCK ON. yEAH. oLD MAN STUFF. sUE ME. |

14 Sep 17 - 10:04 PM (#3877149) Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap and gnu From: Rapparee I myself don't feel the need to shoot dragons. They are cute and cuddly and make great pets. I used to have a pet dragon named "Bimby." He (or she, we were never sure and you don't just go looking around on a dragon) breathed fire and would warm the our hovel in the winter. But I do have a rather large revolver I inherited. It's a .56-100 which my grandpa used in Montana. Smokeless powder, of course, and pushes a 850 grain bullet at 2,900 fps. When grandpa fired it whole mountains fell down, as did grandpa. He only fired it once, because the recoil broke both of his arms. He always called it "a REAL MAN'S gun. It was made for him, so it's one of a kind. Ammunition is kinda expensive, too. |

The only reason I believe you is that you haven't lied to me... yet... well... to any unbelievable amount. Seriously? 850 grains at 2,900 fps? How many stout hearted men does it take to hold it? |
