[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 134654, member: 8"] UncleB That has got to be the winner for the stupidest post of 2007. What would you like for a prize? There have been crooks and liars ever since the serpent wriggled on into the garden of Eden. You are only responsible for your own behavior and your own reputation. Organizations like the magazine make the rules and then they must live by them. Someone will always take advantage of an honor system but that does not diminish the honesty and integrity of those that play by the rules. There are always people who will road hunt and there are always people that will drag off someone elses deer. That is no reason to stop hunting, just a reason to fire warning shots at deer and elk close to the road to scare them away. Whether the guy did nor did not make the shot I do not know but here is something to think about. I had a second tour sniper who was exceptional. He was using a glass bedded M-14 with 308 match ammo. Two NVA soldeirs were spotted walking along an abandoned railroad in single file at a distance of a mile give or take (long ago and I have never found the records for that shot). He hit the lead guy with the fourth shot and when the buddy bent down and raised up the wounded guy, my man put a fatal fifth round into him. Now UncleB, you go and find where a 308 drops subsonic and how much killing power it has at a mile and then think what a 300WSM can do to a badger a few hundred yards further. That proves nothing other than sometimes a person has a lucky day and sometimes a person just lies about stuff. I do not know the truth, but I know I have seen a few people who were really good do some difficult things with a rifle. Keep your mantle trinket and go and look in the mirror. The person you see is the only one whose honesty you are responsible for. [/QUOTE]
