Most Useful Thing You’ve Learned on HuntTalk

[rjthehunter]

There is absolutely no excuse for people to shoot magnum cartridges, they’re just extra punishment on your shoulder and the ballistics are b.s.

@mtmuley look at this Nancy!

If it's not a magnum, you're not trying. I'll bet my 338 WM will kill an elk faster than your 6.5!

 

[gouch]

6.5 creedmoor is for little girls and Nancys. That's all I've learned.

 

[Irrelevant]

That there are a whole lot of people I generally don't see eye to eye with on most issues in life, that are still really good people, enjoyable to have a conversation with, and are incredible conservationists that we all owe some gratitude toward.

 

[BigHornRam]

Collection of crazy misfits sure do kill a lot of nice animals!

 

[fishing4sanity]

When @noharleyyet posts keep a dictionary tab open in your browser..... and that he's one of many great users on here.
There are a lot of restaurants around that I need to go try.
There are a lot of good photographers on here.
The gutless method.

 

[hank4elk]

Seriously, don't take yourself so seriously...but take care of yourself.
Also I'm a lot like Uncle Larry.

I’ve learned that everyone on this forum is a better hunter than me and @Dinkshooter loves “Eastern Tenderfooters”

After page two, no one remembers what the thread was about anymore

I've been hunting most of my life. But every so often I get a reminder that there is always something new to learn. Especially when it comes to hunting in Montana. Also learned that some people are a little to big for their britches, and their hats dont fit their fat heads anymore.

I've received a ton of good info on HT. Learning from those that have been at this here for a long time has really shortened the learning curve on a completely differently style of hunting.

 

[duckhunt]

Hunting out west can be done by anyone with a little planning. Learned about butchering the gutless method. Bigfin is a dairy queen addict. And the off season on hunt talk can be very interesting.

 

[MTelkHuntress]

I learned how to do a euro mount.
I'd say how to hunt smarter....but I still haven't figured that out yet and just read about people that do on HT.
How to politely email representatives, commissioners, etc regarding wildlife management in Montana.

 

[Deleted member 28227]

Don’t put it off till tomorrow, you can do it solo don’t let bailing buddies keep you from hunting.

 

[Hunter4Life78]

Simply to enjoy the season no matter what the results may be. Realizing I'm not that unusual with thoughts I've had on long range shots, footwear, packs etc. Politics and hunting are intertwined more than we like to admit. @Big Fin will jump on and interact with those on the forum from time to time, that just screams Rat Pack level coolness to me.

HuntTalkMan needs his own feast day, and that feast day will consist of Tillamook Cheese and Ice Cream. If you leave your elk rack in your truck in Billings it will prolly be stolen. Grilled cheese sandwiches have the ability to generate 12 plus pages of discussion, drinking and using GunBroker don't mix well, A.L.F. is in mortal danger should he ever show his face anywhere in the woods, andnumerous other things that at the age of 44 I'm pretty sure my mother would not appreciate.

Many on HT care deeply about wildlife, public lands, helping each other; and they take action.

Honda Ridgelines are not trucks. Subarus are inadequate off road.

Everyone who is (them, not us) is wrong, stupid, corrupt, and should go back where they came from.

The 2nd Amendment should have come 1st.

If you want to learn, shut up and listen. If you want to argue, there's an app for that.

If it has ever or may ever occur, it can be represented graphically.

A dog dying is heartbreak, shared.

Lever guns are legacy, not anachronism.

Here the classics are appreciated: music, humor, cuisine, magnum chamberings.

The only thing worse than my state's wildlife agency is yours.

Crossbows aren't. Camo doesn't. Government can't or won't.

For every opinion there is an equal and opposite opinion.

 

[buckbull]

Diapers are a great source of fuel for a campfire.

pretty much sums it up.

the most important thing on the rifle is how neat the lettering is

7-08 is more than enough for t rex
