> buy a rifle and "just go hunting" >a rifle goes for $xxx "hell just get an AR for under $1k" and "just go hunting with it">just buy a rifle and just zero it and just go hunting.Rifle season for North American game, depending on the state could be literally only a few days, or a few weeks of the entire year. 2 maybe 3 weeks in the entire year in 90% of cases. some cases a single weekend.
OP and virtually everyone in the thread is a clueless beginner with no knowledge what-so-ever of firearms, archery or hunting, and people are suggesting Rifles? This is precisely the reason Rifle season is considered "dangerous" and is notorious for accidental shootings, idiot know it alls in the field and dangerous fools aiming hi-powered rifles at things they shouldnt.
Further and most important, its laughable to picture someone who has zero knowledge of even the basic hunting equipment, restrictions and regulations, being able to field strip, clean and process the game meat in the field and transport it home correctly and sanitarily, as well as showing ethical care for the animal. if you have no idea how to select or even hold a hunting weapon,
do you really see your self taking a blade to the stomach of a 160lb animal, reaching inside of its warm body, physically pulling out its 'guts' with your bare hands and quartering the useful meat? Would you even know where to make the cuts and which parts are going to be useful to you?
so many people literally get caught up and stuck on the weapons, the camo, the "cool factor" and the mouthing off that they forget they will have to ethically and competently butcher and prepare a formally live animals meat in the wild.
this thread should just be closed. 4 chan needs a hunting sticky on /out/ or maybe /k/ that has actual real knowledge in it instead of this clueless garbage.
