Thread: It's called a carbine, not a bush pig.

It comes from the French. Either is correct. John Wayne calls it a carbeen, so it's a goddam carbine.

I'm with you William.
Bush pig has always been a derogatory term.
Another one that really grates me is "indicator dog".
I've had a number of dogs which were/are very useful for finding deer. But I have yet to see one that starts flashing orange when they find one.
And apparently you can now get your indicator dog blueprinted.
What a circus.

I thought it was quite common for Sika hunters to call them 'donks' or 'donkeys' due to their roar.

To 'indicate' is to 'point', but the gun dog lobby would be pissed that I called my crossbreed mutt a pointer.

no calling deer donks goes way back more about the ears dont use the term myself

I have no idea what a "retrobate" is. Google didnt either.
Are you coming up with a new name for people like you that keep using retro names for modern items that dont quite fit the original definition?

retrobates is actually reprobate a great term has a variety of meanings but fuckwit halfwit idiot moron sums them all up in one word but I think many confuse it

What does it mean if someone is a reprobate?
a depraved, unprincipled, or wicked person: a drunken reprobate. Synonyms: cad, rascal, wretch, miscreant, wastrel, scoundrel, tramp, rogue. a person rejected by God and beyond hope of salvation.

Well I'm familiar with "reprobates", I just thought Mister Dux had coined an excellent term for the backwards ones amongst us lol

yes he may well have coined a new phrase lets see if it sticks

I invented it so I get to make the definition. A retrobate, is someone who annoyingly uses old rifles like .303's and BSA Majestics, wears wool, and most annoyingly will not shoot deer at long range and pretends to not know what a ballistic co-efficient is. Then when he shoots them at short range in the bush, gets pissed when people say his rifle is a bushpig, just because its a CARBINE.

Nah, a bushpig is a fugly chic you wake up next to after a night's heavy drinking. Those rifle remains you've posted can only be defined as "bubba'd fuck up"

It's part of the bull shit culture. Anyway, most so called "bush pigs" never go bush hunting their entire lives. It's a fad more than a necessity.

No one called a Model 7 with a 18/20" barrel a bush pig when they were introduced. We just said that they were handy light little rifles that didnt get hung up and bash trees so much. Most people ignored them all together and continued to get good tallies hunting in the trees with their 27" barrelled 303's. God knows how they did it.

The latest trend is to say or write "public land" as much and often as you can. Apparently that makes you a better hunter, and those who don't, less so.
It seems that hunting public land with a bush pig (or a "long range rig") can be a climactic event - especially if you shoot a deer from a "blind" and then do a "recovery" and butcher the animal using various gadgets from a "kill kit". FFS.

Im going to die as a bitter old man and be happy doing it.

Bush pig reminds me of high school girlfriends

Would ‘chode’ not do the same thing?
