Hunters Vs. Shooters

[Hazcat]

"how this AK will do on Boar or deer?"

To very loosely quote Shakespeare's Juliet ...

O, be some other name!
      What's in a name? that which we call a gun
      By any other name would shoot as sweet;
      So Kalashnikov would, were he not Kalashnikov call'd,
      Retain that deer perfection which he owes
      Without that title. Kalashnikov, doff thy name,
      And for that name which is now part of thee
      Take to the range.

Nicely done!!  I do believe you just raised the boards' IQ average several points!

Now that I've had some sleep let me try this again  The people I classed as Hunters are the ones who want to make the "Kill" regardless of Weapon,  Shooters are those who want to make the "Shot" regardless of target.

I'll try to get my demagraphics right.

 I shoot rifle more then I shoot pistol or shotgun. Pistol shooting is close second to rifle. Shotgun is distant third. I've hunted with my shotgun and enjoyed it! But I don't hunt with my rifle, just target shoot.(NRA Highpower) I don't plink with a pistol, (just combat) but no bulleye target. I have shot bullseye, but combat is more fun. I've shot trap and tought it for the local club to jr's but I don't call myself a shotgunner. I 'm the president of the local club , but I still have a home and job to run.

 So, what demagraphic do I belong to ?

When I was in the Guard 89-92 I was Unit Armorer (76Y) for A Btry 3rd/197th FA, We had M-198's
The (Then) new 155's that you did not have to dig breech pits for 
But being a Marine first (and always) I did not think of HOWitzer till after I posted

  Shot em all the 155 the 8" and 102,  loved to ride my 155, those were the long tubes rollin over Sadams boys.  Read 'Into the Storm" great book .

Ms M, you hit the nail on the head about the birds.  A buddy of mine and I were just talking the other day about quail.  I haven't seen a covey of quail in a very long time.  I see a couple every now and then but no covies.  I travel all over southwest Florida, and it's like this all over.  Hopefully one of these days, we will see them again like we used to.

As far as the turkeys, they're everywhere.  A couple of months back, I had ridden up toward Weirdsdale, and one was crossing Hwy. 301 at Hwy 42.  I mean, it was walking through the intersection.  She didn't seem to mind the traffic any at all.  Hogs are taking over and the deer population is steadily growing around here also.

In Texas, what Quail or Prairie Chickens we used to have got cleaned out by the fire ants. They just love ground nesting birds eggs.

That is a very good way of putting it.

According to the latest Shooting wire you pretty much resonify the shooting community
