Hunting and fishing

Krik: Yeah. Roadkill is the ****tiest thing about driving. I keep a buck knife in my glove compartment just in case.

Gessy: Small game hunting is fun. And a lot more manageable meat quantity-wise than big game. Shouldn't be hard to get into where you live. And shotguns and lower calibre rifles are pretty cheap if you're not a snob about it.

Krik · Nov 19, 2014

Yeah a 20 gauge or .410 is perfect for that ****.

As I live in a relatively rural part of the UK, I do like to take my air rifle out to the fields and (attempt) to shoot rabbits. I've only ever hit one, but I haven't done it much. Tend to just shoot targets.

Swissky · Nov 19, 2014

I can't do that.

There's a law over here stating that small game must be shot with 22's or higher.

Delora Filth · Nov 19, 2014

Same here. But air rifles are fairly unsuitable ofor anything larger than a magpie anyhow so I see why.

Swissky · Nov 19, 2014

I recall my father telling me how he shot down crows and seagulls with his air rifle as a young boy.

Delora Filth · Nov 19, 2014

Yep. Birds are pretty much your bar with standard air rifles. There are stronger ones with larger projectiles meant for varmint eradication and such produced in the states. But in those cases you're probably better off buying a .22

Don't judge me for the image source. I found it on a google image search.

I also have a rather powerful crossbow, but in the UK you're not allowed to hunt with it. If I was in the US though...

Delora Filth · Nov 19, 2014

Better than here. They're just outright banned. Didn't stop me from building my own though. But that broke about half a year ago.

Crossbows were briefly legal a couple years ago in NY, but i think they are banned again. Or maybe they arent. There was sone regulation i dont know...
Edit: also, yes, a lot more of the venison was wasted than i had origonally thought. If I had thought i would lose this much meat i wouldnt have taken the shot. Then again i didnt think i was going to hit through the gut and the thigh, so...

Delora Filth · Nov 20, 2014

Told ya.

Vraelomon · Nov 22, 2014

Yep, you were right, of course.

Got 11 pounds of ground meat out of it. Which means I have to buy 11 pounds of ground pork to mix in with it. Gives me 22 pounds of meatballs. Yay

I wish there wasnt a travel ban due to the weather. If it wasnt for that id be out getting my two doe tags filled out right now.

Oh, so there is fellow hunters in taleworlds forums. I thought i was only one.

Tikka T3 Varmint .222
Tikka M65A .308

Can we add camping to the thread?
I usually fish when I camp.

Vraelomon · Jan 28, 2015

I havent done any fishing in years.

Actually I was going to do some rabbit hunting today but I didnt have time (

again)

@Alatzy; you know, I really the look and form of a lot of those little Tikka .222 guns and I've heard good things about their performance.

It's just too bad that .222 is just a little too different from .223 to make any use of them.

Can't be bothered to specify every little thing in the title. Camping's a natural part of both activities. So it's covered by default as I see it.

There is good and bad things in Tikka rifles, if i have to choose between Tikka and Sako (both are made and owned by same company, Beretta), i would choose a Sako. All Sako's have and Tikka's have same barrels, difference between these guns are in stocks, they but more time in those with Sako's. At least in my opinion. And i have heard that some Tikka rifles have problems with triggers and that spike that detonates cartridge.

I like to use .222 because of its really low and soft recoil. Also bullets are really cheap. (Atleast in Finland.)
When i'm hunting Black grouses and Wood grouses, i usually take .222 with me. Also i'm really into shooting foxes and i haven't yet found better bullet that can beat Hornandy V-Max (when bullet hits, it literally explodes :oops:

)

I have thought about buying a new caliber soon, was thinking about .270 Winchester or .280 Remington, does anyone have any experience with these two calibers?
