Eric Ford+FollowThis beginner's first hunt blew my mind! 🤯This dude's hunt really stunned me! He said he had such a great catch on his first hunt! #huntinglife #newbiehunter #wildgame #hunting 4413Share
jortiz+FollowI still hunt with grandpa’s old gunsCurious if anyone else prefers older firearms over the new stuff? I’ve been collecting vintage rifles and shotguns for a while now, mostly for the build quality. Two of my favorites came from my grandfather — a ‘60s Rem 760 pump .30-06 (kicks like a mule!) and an Ithaca 20-gauge that’s light, balanced, and deadly on rabbits. There’s just something about how these old guns handle. Anyone else swear by their hand-me-downs or vintage finds? #hunting #vintagefirearms #vintageguns1209136Share
Manuel Bright+FollowHunters care more about conservation than non-hunters! Surprised? Those who hunt often invest more time, money and passion in preserving wildlife than anyone else. Agree or disagree? #hunting #HuntingTruth #WildlifePreservation2442105Share
Manuel Bright+Followold hunters smoked pipes for a reasonGuilty of lighting up a backwoods before morning hunts, and elk don't seem to care. Always sit around smokey campfires in my hunting clothes too. Last year a buck literally walked up and woke me from my nap under an oak tree - ten yards away! He smelled something and was curious, just didn't think it was human until I made noise. Smoke might not spook them like we think? #hunting #deerhunting #huntinglife #Outdoors 19689Share

Eric Ford+FollowFirst time rifle hunting with buddies - who shoots first?My buddies and I want to try still hunting together on public land but we're all pretty green. Main question: if we actually spot a deer, who gets to shoot? Been bow hunting solo before but rifle hunting with multiple people seems way more complicated. Don't want to mess up our first real opportunity because we didn't talk through the basics beforehand. Any veterans have simple rules they follow when hunting as a group? #Hunting #riflehunting #publichunting #Outdoors 67Share
mmoore+FollowMost ethical hunter ever? 😂Okay hear me out... I might actually be the most ethical hunter in this group because I'm terrible at it 😅 My success rate is so low that I'm basically giving every deer, elk, and bird the fairest chase possible. Anyone else "ethically challenged" like me? #hunting #HuntingFail #EthicalHunting4114Share
tyler79+FollowWhat grandpa’s .30-06 didn’t teach me about bulletsI remember watching Grandpa drop a massive 10-pointer with his old .30-06. It felt like magic—pure knockdown power. Or so I thought. But over time, I’ve come to realize that’s not how bullets really work. Terminal ballistics depend more on shot placement and how the bullet behaves inside the animal—not just the caliber or speed. With the right hit, smaller rounds can do just as much damage, sometimes even more, than the big boomers. These days, I shoot smarter, not louder. What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned about bullet performance in the field? #Hunting #DeerHunting #30-06545402Share
jortiz+FollowHow do you feel about predator hunting?I won’t shame anyone for how they hunt, but I do respect meat hunters more than trophy hunters. I’m also not a fan of killing predators “just because”—unless they’re causing issues in a specific area. Conservation means managing the full ecosystem, not just the deer or elk we eat. Curious how others see it. #hunting #HuntingEthics #MeatVsTrophy16341410Share
bushjill+FollowTrail cam "ownership" drives me crazyHad a guy tell me not to hunt "his" buck because it showed up on his trail cam once. Dude, it's public land and wild animals don't belong to anyone. Hunt for meat, memories, and respect—not Instagram likes and Boone & Crockett scores. #Hunting #HuntingEthics #PublicLand #Outdoors6342Share
