I Need to Kill Something

from JoeUser Forums

While it's not hunting season for any kind of serious game yet, before my surgery I need to get out in the woods and just kill something, maybe a bunny or a birdie or a squirrel, anything will do right now.

While my preferred game has always been another armed human, this is against the law except in war time and since I am not a member of the armed forces and not in a war zone, hunting another human is a huge no-no. darn it.

So I have cleaned up my 22.250 mounted a small 4X scope on it and set some rules for myself, no shots to be taken under 100 yards. Only one round loaded at the time. If I miss the one shot the target gets to live another day. If I wound it, I will load another round and finish the deal.

So look out bouncer, look out screwy, and woody, here I come ready or not.

I don't wanna go to Mexico, I might have to try and sneak across the border just to see if I can do it.

Bluejays ok. Snakes are pretty impossible targets at 100 plus yards.

Maybe we can get chevy chase to do his famous "landshark" routine.

sweety pie, you need something with a little more punch than a 22.250 to stop a wild hog.

In his young and stupid days one of my uncles used to hunt them with a Bowie knife. You should see the nasty scars on his legs from that. Those tusks are killers.

I had a friend named Shep Neidieu {pronounced Nay doo} that was 1/2 Apache and once a year he use to hunt like an Apache did in the days of yore, breech-clout, water tied off in animal intestines and a real nasty knife, along the lines of a man killer K-bar or Gerber, he would run his game to almost death never letting the animal rest, till it just tired out then he would move in for the kill. I miss him, He is one of those that came back in body but his mind stayed in Nam. I lost track of him around 30 years ago.

The only thing I've ever shot was a foam deer with an arrow. Other than that my hunting experience has been limited to water guns and paintball. I think it would be even MORE impressive if you shot hogzilla with a 22.250 now.

Amy, All A 22.250 would do is really piss the hog off, the tusks on the wild hogs grow to about 8 inches and would cut me open like a ripe melon cut with a machete, there is brave and there is foolish,. I am brave, not foolish, I would hunt a wild hog with a 30.06 or even one of my handguns a .44 or a .357. See I want to kill something I do not want to be killed.

Hmmm, I know nothing about guns and hunting in real life. Good luck with whatever you get and only shoot as much as you can carry - no more.

Sounds like my father. He was 1/2 Apache (his mother was full Apache). He also didn't quite come all the way back from Nam.

And the difference is?

thanx for the comparison photos whip, but a 22.250 has a larger cartridge case and considerably more punch than a .22 long, but not close enough for hunting a boar, although a boor or a bore would be dead meat at 100 yards.
