Bloomberg Gets Told.. BY AN ABC REPORTER!

[sudden valley gunner]

As you probably know, hunting is highly regulated, and restricted in Europe,,,so I will tell you a bit about it, or at least in Germany.

You wear a green sport jacket and have a green tie on. If you do not get a one shot kill, they cut the tie in half...and then in half again if you take two shots on a second animal. Tradition demands that a successful hunter goes to the local "guest house" (kind of like a bar with a small restaurant and rooms to rent..when you drink too much) and everyone toasts the animal taken.

So, if it took you two shots to take the animal, everyone knows...you are not a good hunter...you have to make a clean one shot kill before you can wear a new, full length, tie.

Very interesting, thanks.

Fascinating traditions

It seems as though the incentive is to shoot and then determine if the animal is going to run off or not. In many areas of the United States, this would result in more lost game, or game lost to other hunters. In some areas, there are enough hunters that if a deer is shot, even in the lungs, and runs past another hunter, if that hunter then shoots the deer, he can claim it. I suspect that the hunting in Germany is mostly done from stands (blinds), at game that is not alarmed, and in areas where there is no hunting competition. In that sort of circumstance, you are afforded the luxury of very carefully picking your shots.

I have hunted that way, but there are other ways that are just as valid.

Thanks, hermannr, you brought back a lot of good memories. You left out that you shoot only​ what the Jagermeister tells you that you may shoot. Quite a bit of ritual involved, but I will say the gentlemen I hunted with were, first, last, and foremost, sportsmen.

Absolutely true sportsmen. And very serious about that one shot kill.

Virginia-illegal to hunt deer with caliber smaller than .23

From the VDGIF web site:

"Rifles used for deer or bear must be .23 caliber or larger."

Newbie alert

Just a newbie…
What a great soapbox this forum is, I have spent the last week reading threads and acquiring knowledge on OC, so I can stand my ground in debates; and my reward for this, a reality check from my wife... “What do the gun nuts have to say?”.
The original post was concerning the interview with Bloomberg discussing serious reductions of our Second Amendment rights, how did we get so far off topic? I love to hunt as much as anyone else but what Bloomberg is doing is eroding our right to protect ourselves and has little to do with hunting and a whole lot to do with misinformation. Just like Cuomo, with spittle flying from his mouth as he yelled out it doesn’t take an assault rifle to kill a deer; these arguments are not about hunting, they are about protecting ourselves and our rights. These extreme liberals are using their hunting mantra to convince the sheeple to agree to their demands, and it appears to be working. (rambling… I’ll stop now)
