Grapeshot/cannister load from a 12lb cannon......
Whatever...... |
|
Thats just pathetic to me, what 7 or 8 shots to kill the thing.
|
|
Dang, any one of those shots should have been good enough for a killing shot. Either someone got real bad buck fever and got trigger happy or it was hit with a load of buck shot. What's the story behind this kill, inquiering minds want to know,LOL.
|
|
That's not even funny. Real men have enough respect for the game to....aw, heck, why bother, I'm gonna get flamed either way....
|
|
If ya'll had bothered to go look at the url posted, he's "hunting" with a replica 12lbr cannon.
Cool photos on how me made the cannon and all the accessories. Hunting with it just seems kind of wrong though.... |

Follow the link:
www.buckstix.com/howitzer.htm Hilarious, actually. Check out the other stuff on the page-how to build a Mountain Howitizer. Fascinating, and for less than the price of an MG...I am gettin a bug here. I now think I want my own artillery piece. My wife is going to be PISSED. |
|
Yep, might as well not even try, Oh Great White Cat Hunter, LOL. Ya'll do know that I'm just hackin' on ya' don't ya'? |
|
|
If you read the page, the system could easily be modified to work with stray cats. |
|

That don't got shit to do with it. It's still disrespectful to the animal, and to the sport of hunting. Didn;t know you could legaly hunt with a canon anywhere though. |
|
|
Just do like I do. Ask forgiveness AFTER. On the bright side, I'm not aware of any restrictions on the size of muzzleloaders used for hunting. I'll check. I have the game warden on speed dail. |
|
|
Maybe they just should've live-trapped it. |
|
|
Wow! If you hunted at night with a light you could shoot a whole herd with one shot.

From the site:
He did, however, ruin a SHITLOAD of perfectly good venison. Whatever. |
|

Great the idiot is from Wisconsin
Guess what it's illegal for him to hunt with that thing.

Oh come on ya'll . . . this is great!
How many of you own an authentic Civil War style cannon He whacked the deer with canister shot . . too cool. I'll bet the animal suffered less than if he was hit by a rifle. It also looks as though there is plenty of meat for the eating. Loosen up a little for God's sake. _Disconnector_ |
|
At least it’s original.
Every one knows “real” hunters use sniper rifles. |
|
Not to argue with you, but since it IS a muzzle loader, the only thing that makes it illegal for him to hunt that way is that it is not a shoulder-fired muzzleloader? <grrr>legalese</grrrr> |

|
That wasn't really referring to you -- it was more directed at the "wow he was trigger happy" crowd.... and I agree...."hunting" with it is wrong, unless you're in full TEOTWAWKI survival mode. |

Yah it;s cool till somone from the WDNR sees it. Than they'll take his house, car, guns,canon, business and damn near everything else. As well as some jail time and a phat monitary fine. the WDNR don't play games. |
|
|
Just need to have a REALLY LONG and REALLY SOFT stock put on it... How similar is this to fishing with dynamite? |

A real man experience:
A one time very good friend of mine that I used to hunt with was the type who could could catch 12 lb bass in a bathtub. Incredible outdoorsman, I'd sit in a treestand for hours and he's sit for 10 minutes then go off stalking. He'd come back dragging all kinds of game, most of it illegal to take (that's why I quit hunting with him). Once was caught hunting buffalo in a State Park (in FL). Another time he shot & killed a Blue Heron roosting in a cypress tree with a 30-30 from a canoe that I was paddling (I was in front and had no idea what he was up to). Anyway, he was riding on the highway thru the deer woods as we call it in FL and the driver in front of him hit a deer in the hind quarter as it crossed the road. The deer was a little stunned and it got hung up as it was trying to leap the fence on the other side of the road. Well my buddy jumps out of his truck with nothing more than a boy scout pocket knife and jumps on the deer, wrestling to the ground all the while stabbing it in the neck with this pocket knife. He killed it. He was bruised from one end to the other from the deer kicking him but he succeeded. On another hunt, I loaned him my Ruger Old Army black powder revolver and he killed a spike buck with it. If he had stayed on the right side of the law, he could have been a TV Outdoors personality or at least a successful guide. |

But even than the canister shot is better served being saved for more critical times, like a horde of MZBs rushing yer "compound" |
|||
|
One more reason why I dont hunt. Idiots like that might be stalking the woods.
What a fucking moron. |
|
good too many people in the woods anyway |
|
|
smells like a photoshop/cooked up story to me.
I am an archery hunter and do respect game, but for some reason this doesn't bother me as bad as the millions of chumps we have driving around potting game with a .22lr. Or the jokers that party hunt (I FRICKIN hate party hunting) If you've got the gumption to build a canon, haul it all the way up the mountain, position it where a whitetail might cross and not use bait, and wind up getting him with a mountain canon, I think you've done your homework. I wouldn't have been any more "sporting" or harder with a muzzleloader, or a .300 mag. I'm still working it out but it seems like it might not be that easy as just hauling a canon out and blasting away. He's basically using a humungous muzzleloader. |
|
LOL! Not doing much "stalking" with an artillery piece! It was an unethical kill. End of story. This is the kind of shit that fucks it up for the rest of us. Edited to add that "real" men hunt with a friggen' pointed stick! The rest of us are just posers. |
|
|
My Great Uncle Jim hunted with a .22lr for years..... Deer & all. |
|
|
My great great, great grandpa used a spear----------------- |

If this kind of thing was widespread, I would disapprove. But one guy doing it and posting pix has some definite "cool" factor.
ANy more of it and I'd say cut the shit. - BUCC_Guy |
|
For the amount and size of holes it doesn't appear to be bloodshot???
MT |
|
I disaprove simple because of safety issues. Where did the rest of the shot go? Any other hunters in the area? Not to mention that it's illegal, which the guy should have check before he did it. And that would have been as simple as looking in the little hunting regs book they give ya when you buy the damn deer tag. But hey if he figures the kick of hunting with an illegal weapon and potentialy putting others in danger is worth the risk of losing his business, home, cars, guns and doing some jail time................. |
|
|
He knew it was illegal before he did it. Took all of the appropriate "safety" precautions.
Some people... |
|
looks like yer right he knew it was illegal
This guy is a fucking asshat. If he honestly didn;t think he was commiting acrime there would be no need for the spent 12ga shells or any of the rest of it. |

|
I wonder if WDNR will want to talk to him when they see this?
|
|
I think he'd better have a cook out and eat the evidence fast before he get's busted. LOL |
|
|
That's why I hunt private property. This guy is a moron |
|
|
I for one think the article was interesting, the concept was fabulous, and his experience was not only unique to himself but also to folks in general. Not many times has that happened.
Personally, I've seen more meat wasted by folks using a 270 Winchester on deer. Sly |
