I’ll bet they all eat hamburgers. Cows have little chance of escape.
Maybe they should be called scope dopes!
The video portrays hunting in a positive light. Thanks for posting.
Not too bad, especially coming out of Chicago.
Great Video. However, you did not watch in disbelief nor did I laugh in hilarity.
This morning Wife and I had coffee with a another couple who live here.
She’d shot a semi-auto pistol yesterday and had gotten her thumb in the way of the recoil.
They’d wrapped it up pretty well. Still throbbing and bloddied.
Starts off pretty corny, but at the end one of the reporterettes actually was butchering the deer and enjoying venison steaks! Quite impressive, even if they do talk in NPR-style hushed tones and carry on with a lot of lib Gobbledygook / PC-blather. Maybe after a year or two of hunting, they’d even begin to talk like regular folk
All things considered, this was a very fair piece, presented well. The two participants, urban women, probably “progressive” politically, were about as green as they could be about hunting, firearms, and the outdoors. But they gave the entire experience a fair shake, and didn’t present any neurotic, negative conclusions.
Well, I say good for them, well done. Yeah one of them especially was a squemish liberal, but hey, give them credit for getting out of their comfort zone and make an effort to understand guns and hunting. I hope there are many more liberals who follow the lead of these ladies. If that were the case I bet we’d have a lot fewer call from liberals to tear down the Second Amendmet.
Leftist figure out that we are the true "environmentalist"
The only shame I see in the video is on the guy who shot the yearling. I swear it was so small it probably still had its spots. A little patience next time. What a waste of a good deer tag.
My only hope is that these two bimbos actually got a taste of real deer hunting in the process. And no, deer “hunting” is not the same as deer “killing” or (ahem) field dressing or meat preparation.
At some point, sitting quietly against a tree and trying hard to “tune in” to the forest, the magic of deer hunting sinks in. Something buried deep in your DNA starts to awaken. You begin to hear and smell and see what is really around you. The direction of the breeze is important. You belong there.
The “hunting” part of deer hunting is pure magic. I can’t find a better word for it.
Hopefully these ladies felt just a few moments of the magic. If so, they’ll be back for more.
BRAVO for these ladies! Perhaps if more of their friends actually spent some time in the great outdoors with hunters/shooters there would be far far less disinformation about hunters/shooters, the 2nd Amendment, and our true concern for the environment.
Anybody familiar with Illinois gun laws? I know you have to have a FOID card to purchase firearms and ammunition. But, how about use? I assume these gals didn’t buy the guns and ammo they are shown using, but what about loaning them for hunting, etc?
Thanks for posting this. It was overall very positive for hunting. Maybe we can bring libs around to our way of thinking through the ethics of hunted meat and the independence that a gun provides. Whatever it takes.
