Hunters Vs. Shooters

[tombogan03884]

I've heard that "Hunters" aren't as concerned with things like assault weapon bans as long as no one messes with thier "hunting guns" and that "Shooters aren't as concerned with things like, PETA scaring game away from hunting areas as long as they don't mess with ranges and semi auto's.
What do YOU say ?

I am having a problem at my club.  It is mostly made up of old farts and FUDDS.  The current rule is one round for guests and three rounds for members (not including handguns or rim fire rifles).

We have a survey going on to change this  to either 5 or 10 for members or take it back to one for every one.  The FUDDS and old farts are all for taking it back to one.  If this happens I will leave the club.

Why are they doing that ?

Why are they doing that ?

Because their FUDDS not shooters.

Because their FUDDS not shooters.

they still need to practice a quick fallow up shot...


I know, I know... they never miss...   just like every time I shoot  clays, They always break... some times I do the breaking...

I'd like to learn to hunt but just don't have a lot of time too.  My neighbor is willing to take the oldest and I duck/deer hunting but it just hasn't happened yet.

I do spend a lot of time shooting IDPA and USPSA when an hour or two presents itself.

Im not a hunter, but I understand that its part of a heritage, especially here in Tennessee and have no problem with hunters. I dont see the sport in most of it unless your hunting boar or bear with a handgun. I condem those who hunt for sport and not for meat. Some kill deer for the tenderloin and leave the rest laying to rot and thats just wrong, some like trophies and thats kind of weird IMO, but as long as the meat is harvested, what ever.

I'm primarily a shooter, but I'll shoot nearly all of the local wildlife as it presents itself. Gotta keep the critters out of the garden!
We as a group had better take notice of the other's problems though, or we'll all pay! B. Hussein wants your M700 and my AK.

Can't have the masses clinging to those nasty assault and sniper rifles.  They'll go after God if he gets elected!

I'll voice my opinion as well now. I used to hunt, but I saw so little game that I gave it up. I'd rather see the animals than carry them out of the woods (kind of lazy as well   ) I'm single and working, I'm not going to eat that much meat and when I want some I can buy it,, I'd just as soon leave it for people who need it. I have no problem with people who do hunt as long as SOME ONE is going to eat the meat

So, what about crows, rats, coyotes and other vermin? I think it is ok to shoot them and not eat them. It can also be great fun and is hunting.
