Pet peeve in hunting pics

[catnthehat]

I could care less if people don;t like the gun in the rack- I was alone and that is where I decided to put it for the picture.


This one was taken with a lot of snow on the ground , same thing, I wasn't about to put the rifle in the snow and I was alone.

I wanted to give an idea of the size of the deer so used my rifle , again, alone- and yes I checked the action before taking the picture!

I agree 100% and add to it all the blood around its mouth and face.

Take a moment to show the animal some respect and clean it up a little as its life was just taken....You'll see enough blood soon, when you open it up.

Just saying....IMO

Dosent matter at the end of the day what one person does or the other. I've learned in the hunting community or non-hunting community that everyone is offended at something. We are so afraid of offending eachother that we follow what social constructs are in place at the time. Either stand together or stand apart and be torn down. This is why Hunting will soon be a thing of the past.

Cat, what happened to the bolt on those guns? Did you throw it in the trees when you were checking it?
Derail notice: Been meaning to ask you, if I had the opportunity to get just one rifle in one of the following options, would you recommend the #1 or high wall?

I have to admit, this thread is gonna change what pics I take this fall when I get my first big game bow harvest. I won't do anything to any of the bolts on the bow, and there are gonna be way more pics of every step along the way. I'll take the time to snap them instead of focus on the task at hand

Anyone feeling insulted by the op are probably seeing themselves in mirror.

Like Assuming someone is pointing a loaded rifle at their head in a field photo right?

Maybe this isn't the crowd to be preaching to? Seems most folks posting here take offence to childish assumptions.

I had to go back and find what you two were referring to. I don't know how I missed that! Too funny.
I think it was in the vitals. Although a Texas heart shot isn't completely out of the question, with the right bullet of course. I think this bullet failed though. It didn't retain enough weight. But maybe it all comes down to how far you had to track the animal though, doesn't it? I mean, if it's double lung and the elk still goes 150 yards then we're not allowed to describe the hunt and need to go change bullets at the reloading table Only 50 yards and less is admirable

The bolts are there, they are holding the stock to the receiver!!
High wall or No.1 is completely subjective, both have good points and i would be more inclined to pick one over the other because of the wood quality- heaven knows I'd likely be re- barreling anyway!
To be frank however, I prefer the Ruger action because of the availability of aftermarket set triggers.

I prefer how the stock is mounted on the High Wall, but I gave up on my lightweight low wall because the combination of a heavier trigger, and a flyweight barrel kept me from shooting it well. I just sold it and replaced it with a full stock Sako Bavarian Carbine in 6.5x55.

As to hunting pictures, as long as the firearm isn't pointed at someone, I could care less if the action is open or not.

[kujoseto]

Good to know on the trigger. Re-barrel huh? So I COULD get one in 8x57...hmm...
Elkhunter, that gun in 6.5x55 would be a beauty! And I agree on the barrel direction. It makes me queasy when I see a barrel pointed at someone whether at wholesale sports or in a hunting mag
