Elk

[Goosemaster]

I have a chance to go elk hunting on a private ranch in Western Montana for free next fall. I'm wondering whether I should do it, I've never been big game hunting, and I'm generally not thrilled about big game hunters.

 

[Goosemaster]

These guys don't want to take me, or not Hicks or rednecks.

The guys that want to take me, are not Hicks or rednecks. They are not typical elk hunters.

Big game hunting is for rubes. Don't be a low brow.

 

[Goosemaster]

I have not fired a rifle in years, other than an M16.

Check what type of “ranch hunting” you will be doing. Some of those ranchers don’t like the elk eating their hay this time of year.

The “hunter” hides in the hay feeder and shoots them in the face when them come to eat.

Might not be that type of hunt maybe. Don’t shoot a Hereford, they don’t like that.

You should probably do it if it’s free man. Seems like a wasted opportunity. You can decide if it’s lame or not after. You wouldn’t be out much.

Do it for sure. Sounds like a great opportunity. Why not.

99.9% of big game hunters are rubes.

Yeah I might do it, I have never hunted big game.

Yes I'm just wondering if I want to pull the trigger on a big game animal.

 

[Tomahawker]

Might sniff out some new bird hunting opportunities.

Might open up new horizons. An elk hunt is a dream of mine. Just started applying for points in the last couple years. Listen, pheasants are great eating and even more fun to hunt... But a freezer full of red meat you harvest yourself is top notch.

so the real question here is Goose a .1 percenter?

 

[A5 Sweet 16]

99.9% of big game hunters are rubes.

Gotta answer the question akp asked above. If you're a 0.1 percenter, which I expect you are, then do it. Otherwise, don't lump yourself in with all the low bagger rubes. Take Jonesey & go pheasant hunting instead.

My personal opinion is a bit different. All hunters are in the same basic family. Whether you like your family or not you should at least understand them and support them. All hunting is continually being threatened by development, politic etc. I don't see the sense if fragmenting our family or not supporting them. That said Goose, it you've never done it, I would recommend going and going with someone you trust and respect.
