Rifle Safety: deer stalking certificate level 1 

We favour accuracy, a humane kill and meat production over many of our international cousins

@@nationalgamekeepersorganis9866 And what about your kit leads you to believe that it outperforms a classic American rifle? Your rifles are vastly overscoped, causing poor field of vision and poorly balanced, The sissy sticks, the big can all add up to a clumsy rifle. If you came here with that kit, I'd hike you into the ground at 7500 feet elevation. By the time you drag all that uneccessary apparatus up the mountain youd be too fagged to shoot. You dont even use a proper sling that can be used as a stabilizer and apparently don't even teach it.I'm a 5th generation ranch kid and Western hunter. I strongly suspect that my freezer is loaded with a lot more lean protein than yours. None of it is shot up. You guys who think open sight rifles are " inaccurate" are hilarious. My scoped " long range" .270 Win rifle has a 1.5-4 Leupold. I shoot out to 375 yards with no holdover, done deal. I have the same respect for my Wild game as you. I think you are talking about the tactical crew who think an AR 15 is a deer rifle. That ain't this guy.

@@nationalgamekeepersorganis9866 I greatly respect your willingness to pursue hunting with all the regulations clearly designed to dissuade folks from it. The anti hunters and climate loonies here have taken over our game management. They've fought delisting the grizzly, introduced non-native wolves into our environment and severely restricted mountain lion hunting. This works to destroy our game populations and it drives remaining game out of the mountains and onto private ranches and into cities. They took over 300 whitetails and mulies from the town 7 miles away, while denying me a license to pursue one on public land. Now, they have given those landowners depredation tags that they sell for big money.

Why stop there? Clearly “real men” hunt with a home-made bow and arrows or even better, just a pointy stick. And if you can’t catch a deer with your bare hands, you’re clearly not fit enough to be a “real hunter”. Just stay home and eat your Big Mac instead.
