Hold the press! Change of vote - not only is our first currently active 30-30 user been found but someone who has taken amazing amounts of game of the highest caliber (no pun intended) in an amazingly short time. Truly impressive.

I assume dad's advice to crobride's visitor would be the same he'd give his own, i.e. "30-30 not recommended" so I guess young'in hasn't been following dad's advice given that trail of 30-30 destruction but we were all that way once.

Is "you guys" (rifle elkhunters) kind of like "you people" (as in racial slur)? Applying generalities to specifics -- again? Some of us'n's ain'ts got sich a gud edycation and well, some of us do. However, seems like most everybody until now knows which forum to go to if they are looking for folks of similar mind (kinda like picking the correct bathroom) and if you infiltrate a forum where you know people are of different mind (you lowly rifle hunters) and get a negative reaction why would you be the least surprised?

Interesting, how when countered point, to point, to point, to point instead of picking up where you left off; you brushed it all off as narrow minded and went yapping off in a new direction as youngins is known to do.

Dad, you did a pretty good job of teaching junior how to argue and stand up. One's got to watch out in a written argument though - you can't be quite as lax as in a verbal argument. That line, "I think a 30-30 will do the trick. Actually I know it will, I've done it myself" may well create questions in our readership here. Someone who has blazed a swath of 30-30 destruction as wide and as long as was described would speak a bit more authoritatively at that particular junction.

Also, the truce you mention was in place and holding. I was just wrapping up small talk with a bowhunter and another fellow who has a son hunting, when here comes this little undercover dynamo that wants to argue the demerits of "using too much gun." Only took one go around to get things out from undercover and in the open. And one go round of "point on point" to quickly get that line of talk abandoned and then go dragging the thread off in a new direction (bashing rifle hunters in general) without finishing up business where it was left off. Ah well, youth, they do have a short attention span!

Score is 12 to 4 and you have me double teamed 2 to 1 - show me what you got boys! It's going to require a touchdown and an extra point conversion just to get into over time. 15, 14, 13, 12 .......

"Narrow minded" when it comes to the elk's welfare and still

Good judgment comes from bad experience! Half of elk hunting is knowing what NOT to do!
