    I bet all you purist hunters yell out to the deer to let it know you are there before shooting it
    50 yards sneaky, or 800yds at night sneaky is same shit different shovel.
    Either way a lump of hot lead puts an end to a lazy afternoon

    I have whistled numerous times to get them to lift their heads for a wee injection, but do not recall yelling.
    I beg to differ Mr Spanners! 50yrds is not the same as 800yrds in any hunting context. You have been sniffing far too much salt air at sea or the fumes out of your reloading room.
    Best you scuttle off to the gunclub, snot some clays and sniff some shotshell smoke. You will feel better as well
    veitnamcam and Neckshot like this.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    Why not just strap a scattergun to a quadrotor and "hunt" from the safety and comfort of your favorite armchair

    mostly the human race has no hunting tools, other than our brain -

    in a deadliest warrior contest human vs deer - I think we'll lose without tools

    A lot of deer are shot at 100m-300m - sniped at really, not really a even fight

    One end of the scale would be get so close you can hear them breath - other end is remote control gunship

    One end is certainly not hunting - but there is a lot of middle ground

    People have less time these days to do things - mostly grow up in the city, don't have fathers that hunted to show them how - so times are changing

    I generally don't hunt with my gear - I use it for practice for a job I do (training people to find people)

    I would barely call myself a hunter let alone a purist I just like switching letters around and making Dave laugh.
    On a more sensible note though I understand where hes comming from and yes there will always be some hypocrisy involved unless you discard the lion cloth and chase them down ripping their throat out with your teeth.
    Just a slopy retrobate

    Lion or loin ?

    I only do that every first Tue of the month, and limit myself to possums

    Hmmm... yes winning a lion cloth with nothing but your teeth would make you quite the purist
