Wolfdog91 7,252 Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 So I've asked this before about fishing over y'all's way but gotta ask about air gunning and shooting too. Like is it common for people to be airgunners but against hunting out y'all's way ? Because I'm in a airgun group on FB and I'd say is pretty even 40/40/20 US/UK/Other on there. Generally a pretty nice group but noticed when folk start posting hunting photos , especially of big game like deer and the like lots of UK guys get really upset . I mean at first I was thinking it was just because it was some of the ways the pictures where taken. Like yeah I get sloppy pics of a dead what ever are distasteful but then I noticed it's happening like one outta every the regardless.Lots of sideways comments, lots of ,well, real anti type talk,which I find weird. Ok like today guy posted a video of a Eland he shot with a .357 wolverine air gun I think on safari in South Africa. Some Brit lost his friggen mind over it . Wasnt one if those sloppy hero shot Pictures either. Was saying stuff like shooting big game with air rifles is horrible and how he catch and releases carp and just See alot of stuff like people talking about how why only target shoot and hunting is poor image for the 'sport'. Probably the worst was when a guy posted a picture of like 30 iguanas they had taken on a control job at a golf course ( their a massive pest species and shooting them with air rifles has become very common in places like Florida). Good lord the comments on that one. Thought I got reamed when I posted the picture of the grass carp I gill need out of a pond I mean I never really see to from guys like y'all ,not really sure what if call what I'm trying to say here ,but like the forum types I guess. But these younger Facebook types are just insufferable at times. But yeah are y'all seeing stuff becoming more and more common? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfdog91 7,252 Posted February 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Ok so here's a PRIME EXAMPLE Ok so first off big bore air gun. Completely legal I'm most states here. Second feral hog. Their such a problem here some states will PAY YOU TO KILL THEM. Now I'm not gonna post the comments like a 12yr old but Christ ! There's guys from the UK talking like their straight from PETA'S main office. On guy said , and I shit you not. " It's must take a big man to hide behind a gun and kill such a harmless and wonderful creature"....... Guys I'm legit getting a small throbbing headache. Like there's guys saying posts like that shouldn't be allowed what so ever because it just givens the antis more ammo to get air gunning banned and I'm just speechless. I thought outdoorsman here where divided between houndsmen,black powder,fishermen, archers,and trappers and the like, but Christ you guys ........
