Jason: Just trying to keep my fellow straw hunters safe. ;)
Fecl: I'm not trying to talk you out of your elephant straw hunting trip. I just want you to be careful bud. Too many folks on this board would miss you and your posts, including me. :D :D :D

I'm sorry to have to be the one to bring some kind of intelligence to this thread, but without it, I'm afraid somebody's going to get hurt.
Take it from someone who knows by experience. I almost lost a perfect rhino last year, after a very expensive, and disappointing trip. Foolishly, I depended...
Greetings from the garden state, MarvB. Relax, take your shoes off, and set a spell.
If you like serious hunting talk, or discussions on absolute obsurdity, you've found a new home.

I would have to say that BIG BEAR hunting in Alaska, the last frontier on earth, would be the thrill of a lifetime. I'd like to take my oldest son, in about 3 years, after he turns eighteen. For right now, the DREAM keeps me going.

Boy Alaska, that was close. I told you Moosie would find us. Now, everybody will know. I better go now. Yeah, yeah, I saw Moosie's picture with the pan: SO! What the heck does that mean???
NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT! I will not wear a pan for you. What do you mean why? I DON'T HAVE A PAN! What do you...
Heellooooooooooo! Hey Alaska, are you there?
Yeah, the African forum had two posters in there. Yeah, honestly. No, I didn't want to intrude. They wouldn't understand me like you do.
So, you're looking well. No really. No, I don't say that to all the states! Would you give me a break? Huh? So...
HELLLOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Anybody out thereeee. Hey, I'm all alone here. This is pretty cool. Nobody bothering me. Yup! Nice and quiet here in Alaska. I think I'll take my clothes off and have a little drink. Glug glug glug glug. AHHH! That hit the spot. Boy, it sure is dark in here. Guess I'll do...
Gatoman: I just bought the same setup you have and played with it at the range for 5 hours. Super accurate at 300 yards which, is my limit. LUV it!!

Thanks guys for the quick responses. In my heart, I know I should start him off with a bolt action, which is the way that I started, accept it was 06. I figured in a 22, it didn't matter if it was a semi, because there is basically no recoil, but now I realize, that if he concentrates on the one...
Hi guys:
I need to buy a 22, scoped, for my 15 year old, and myself of course, mainly just for plinkin. After 30 years of using the 06, and 12 gauge, I realized, I'm the only one I know without a 22. I'd like to teach him to shoot, and I don't want him to start with flinching problems, off the...
bcat: Thanks for the welcome. Naturally, this THREAD would be my first post, to start on my never ending battle, for rifle expertise.
Sherri: I will also accept your challenge, as long as I can use my cat as the goalie.

What scope would one use for mouse? Would a 340 weatherby be too much gun? Are semi auto's better than bolt actions for follow up shots? Finally, what quartering methods are mostly used? Please try to be specific, so I can get the right mouse setup.
Looks like a great forum guys. Be gentle...
