Reply #155: #1, No hunter I know would hunt on private property without permission. [View All]

#2, my Pop, when he was still hunting (he's 73 now) would walk for miles and miles during a day of hunting. In my 20's and 30's, I had trouble keeping up with him. #3, as you were told before, a high-powered rifle with a scope can reach out and touch its target from distances up to 400 yards in the hands of the right person. How you think your handgun, with which you might (I stress might) be able to hit the side of a barn at a hundred yards could protect you is beyond me, and comical in its naivete.

Neither my Pop, nor anyone he used to hunt with, me included, could be called a "fat, beer swilling idiot".

And last, "know the property" or not, you'd not sneak within earshot of any hunter I've ever known.
