Discovering a hunting underworld/subculture

NOMADIC PIRATE:
The last few months I opened a few doors that kept surprising me with what I found behind them.

I first got me a nice airgun for hunting Doves in the AG land behind my house, I slowly learned and discovered things I had no idea existed, now I'm fully commited to hunt big game with airguns.

I spend the last few months dialying in several different airguns, and will start hunting with them in the near future, what I like about them is that they are still pretty quiet and llike bows you need to get farely close to your quarry, what they will do for mme is the fact that with bow and arrow often I get close to pigs but they hang out inside the Guava patches and I just can't thread an arrow in there even at 10 yards, but with a scoped airgun will give me that opportunity as well as the head shot.

my main hunting airguns will be a .45 cal rifle, a 9mm rifle, and a 9mm pistol



I've being supplying the kitchen with Doves from the buffer in between my house and the  AG land

kylerprochaska:
AWESOME!  Ive never actually hunted with an air gun but I've always wanted to...sounds like a lot of fun and with the noise reduction you may be able to take a few down with no problem.  I hope you don't give up the archery though we sure would miss you around here!

wolfsire:
That looks pretty nice.  Is that a brine?  Makes me hungry.  You got some nice decorative neck feathers there too.  One of these days Ill get around to makeing a air gun.  There are lots of lethal variations on the simple spud gun.  I'd bet, given the very idea of fire pistons, one could be done done primitative too out of boo or wood, though Id have to learn on pvc or abs.

NOMADIC PIRATE:
Ho no, archery is still my main thing, this is just a supplement to fill voids  ;)

Wolfsire, I gave the dove the wild boar treatment, ice water and balsamic vinegar, pig meat sits in it 2 days, the dove 2 hours  ;D

DanaM:
I saw a hunting show that featured air guns they dropped a pig in its tracks from about 15 feet with a shot to the ear :o
Air guns have come along way eh
