Pic is .243 exit wound on spine shot at 180 yards. .243 will fuck shit up. If you need bigger it's because your woman is a loose whore.

Not for whitetails it ain't.

I'm using a Gunwerks 7mm LRM with a Nightforce G7 scope.
I'd recommend you guys all check them out. Their rifles are impeccable.
Longest shot for me right now is 1200 yards
God fuckin' damn.
I'd love to go hunting but I'll never hold a gun in this shitty fucking country because I got really fucking drunk at age 17 and was trying to take a shortcut to my house over traintracks proceeded to fall head first on to the fucking rail and when I woke up I was at the police station getting questioned on why I was attempting to kill myself.

Share your stories so I can live through them.

What were you using in the shotgun?
Why didn't you bodyslam the fucking coyote and eat it? Fucking betafag...
>>635950
Did you shoot it with deer slugs? Jesus
Hey /out/ists,
I'm an Australian, and here we have some pretty nasty fauna. Where I live, I might see pic related every couple of days.
>The coastal taipan is the most venomous terrestrial snake in the world.
My question is, can I get some pants that will save my life? I currently wear gaiters and jeans even when it's hot, but I took a hit from a constrictor recently, which went straight through.
So I need something better than jeans. Any thick plastic pants that you guys know of? Basically, if you are bitten by this, you die.
Hi ausfag, where bouts in aus are you? Guessing up north. You could move to NZ we dnt have snakes here.
Do you drink XXXX. Do you sexualise your cousin.
Buy snake repellant and get a city job.
Use shovel;;;; lop off ;;;; head. Turn pretty snakeskin into belt;;;; kill some more and makes pants out of snake sknin ;;;; onky snakes are invincible to other snakes; ;;
>>635806
You guessed right.
Cairns, Qld.
I've been to the south island multiple times. Hiking. Absolutely loved it. Went swimming naked at icy 1400m, and then rolled around in the undergrowth.
Sounds fucking weird, I know, but I was not bitten once. By so much as an insect.
Also,
>lopping off head makes it no less dangerous.
Hey mate ausfag snake catcher here, like you said our snake can fuck you up but they luckily have tiny fangs compared to other snakes around the world. Good jeans or work pants will be thick enough. Plus the added bonus that our snakes will all try and get the fuck away from you before they bite you.

Why is saltwater fish so much easier than freshwater?
>go out for some drift fishing or trolling at noon
>3 hours later
>catch dozens of flouder and maybe a dozen keepers
>go freshwater fishing with a bud
>leave at like 3am
>12 hours later
>maybe one or two bites and no keepers
>"Hey, man... this was shitty. We didn't catch anything all day."
>bud finishes off his 16th beer
>"HYUK HYUK! DATS NOT DA POINT OF FISHIN!"
Anyone else a saltwater fiend?
>>634080
Saltwater boats have depth finders, fish finders, charts etc?
When I'm freshwater fishing I ways throw out a second line with live bait
>go freshwater fishing
>catch a dozen lmb
>40 sunfish,crappie,or other panfish
Only time I ever don't catch much is trout fishing. But even then I catch 2 minimum a trip. And a bunch of suckers on my other line
>>634083
>sunfish,crappie,or other panfish
Must be fun catching garbage fish for maw
Saltwayer fishing is boring though. You just sit on a boat and cast, rather than trekking through bush to find a good hole in a river or creek
Its like the difference between getting laid and getting a hooker. Theres no thrill of the hunt, and its way more expensive
Trying to find a good gift to get an /out/ friend of mine. So lets talk about possible /out/-related gifts to get. Post what you want for christmas and what you are planning on getting others.
Basically anything from Light My Fire:
-fire steel, sporks, tinder, cups/bottles
Also can't go wrong with a stainless steel bottle or cup.
Zippo's are nice too.
>>633783
Light My Fire has some neat stuff. I'll probably get this for him.
>>633788
This as well.
How do you cook deer meat?
>>632055
It's delicious when smoked
>>632075
Dear god
Cook it like ground beef and make a cheese steak on a roll!
is Joe Rogan /out/ approved?
>>631462
I enjoy his podcasts, although sometimes he will come out with some mystical bullshit that leaves me cold.
>>631464
Same but now I listen less often. It's too much of the same thing. I stop listening as soon as he gets into some of that bullshit or when he rags on religion.
As for being /out/ approved, sure I'd go hunting with him. I do tune out all his caveman, primitive stuff though.
>>631462
He's got a little bit of that delusion that people who've done too much acid have, but overall he seems like a cool guy who's done more worthwhile things with his fame and money than anyone else in show business except maybe James Cameron. A man who just wants to meditate, chat with his bros on-air, hunt and drive Porsches fast is alright in my book.
Does /out/ enjoy whittling?
I do. Pretty new to it.
Mostly spoons.
Making a kuksa ATM
Terrible at it but yes, it's great fun!
>>631240
they say he carved it himself... from a bigger spoon
Hey, /out/ I've been looking for a good hatchet to bring with me next time I go innawoods, and was wondering which ones you suggested.
Gerber gator saw axe combos ~60$
> great, another fucking axe/hatchet thread
This is what happens when noobs come to /out/ over a stupid soccer game.
OP, for you, Bear Gryllis.
>>631105
Looked and it seems pretty good, thanks senpai
Headlamps; worth dishing out a decent dollar for or nah?
I was going to buy a cheap one until I was out with my buddy and he had a really good one, it lit up the whole area we were in and it had different light modes for dimming and different colours of light. Its making me consider getting a comparable one.
Theres one at a MEC near me that runs at around $100 CAD with taxes, which if it lasted a long time is worth it. But at the same time if I can get one for half the price that had a few less features I'd be happy
Wait till the new models come out and pick up last year's when they hit the clearance bin.
I'm personally fond of my Black Diamond Storm and got it for half off ($25) by waiting for the clearance sale.
The big thing to check is the lumen output.
In the last year the cheap ones have gotten really really good.
I bought a walmart one that puts out 150 lumens on high and has the red light for night and it was only 12 buck.
INCLUDING DURACELL BATTS!
The gap is now pretty narrow between the good and bad when there used to be no comparison.
Get a fenix E12 + Headband, love mine (/out/ told me to get them).
Would a journey on 100 miles in medium currents be doable in a dugout canoe with riggers in open sea be doable?
How long would it take? Would I have to sleep in the canoe?
I have no experiance with open sea canoeing, but plenty of experiance in rivers and rapids.
Also, general boat/canoe/kayak thread.
>>630223
no they are not in the least seaworthy
>>630227
Not even for a 1-way trip? Would a raft be able to do the trip?
>>630233
you could use two dugout canoes and make it a catamaran, but you better make sure you cover their top so that water can't splosh in.
that would be somewhat seaworthy maybe for a very short trip in good weather.
ITT: We post our dream /out/ experience(s).

Spent the weekend with my lady in the national forest. Where do you guys go on your days off /out/? Favorite spots and people to bring?
>spent my weekend on a road under some power lines
Did you bring your biolite to charge your iPhone?
PS, your gf has a huge muffintop. Don't marry her she will easily top 250 in a few years
>>631423
awww don't listen to this guy OP, she's cute. There's always time to lose weight. I don't date overweight chicks, but not even so much due to the aesthetic, but just the laziness and lack of self respect that results.
Op it's a rough crowd, but you knew that.
And no, she is not fat.
The fact that you are /out/ with her put's you beyond 79.583% of these permavirgin, never kissed faggots!
Glad you had fun, me n funtang went horse back riding with some friends.
