[QUOTE="carl1775, post: 1433791, member: 105682"] I mostly don't hunt. Lots of activities and too little time. I have been to Africa, on safari once, in '08 (college graduation present to myself) and would love my next safari to be in the South Pacific. I am an SCI life member and have been to 9 of the last 10 conventions. I guess it's one of those things, when you hit bigger deer with vehicles, than most people are priveledged enough to see in the wild... We're pretty spoiled in these parts with great game. Plenty of upland birds (quail are making a come back), waaaaay too many turkey and the typical awesome KS whitetail. So, meh, maybe this fall. For the record, I've never shot a buck larger than a 1 year old with forked horns. And my longest kill shot was 502 yds, open sights, with a 70's model Remington 700 ADL, 7mm mag. I had a Tasco 3x9. Setting on a powerline swath, with a snow storm heading in. The scope fogged over, so back-ups! I thought I had missed and was ready to go home. I counted the deer walking into the the tree line and counted them running through the cut same number. As it turned out I counted incorrectly. Any way, that's my great white hunter story. I just enjoy firearms, don't know much about them other than my ability to shoot. I take great pride in marksmanship, responsible ownership and our owed stewardship toward all things in nature. After all, if we don't take care of it, who below us in the hierarchy will? [/QUOTE]
