Doubt there's many people here who spend too much time outdoors. Maybe, maybe not.
If you happen to have any good stories about hunting or fishing, feel free to share.
Heres one about my first deer.
I live in a highly wooded area, so I can hunt and stuff whenevs. I had yet to get my first deer, so I set out after it one day. I was onto a big trophy buck. I almost lost him, as he was very clever. But every once in a while he made the mistake of bending a blade of grass the wrong way, and I finally caught him in a clearing. But he bolted, and I had to swing my 30-30 single shot around and drop him at 700 yards.
So you're telling us that you dropped a buck at 700+ yards with a thirty-thirty, while it was running? And it was your first?
I have a hard time believing it.
I thourghly enjoy the outdoors. As a young man I guided for my grandfather when he owned a few tourist and fly-in camps in northern Ontario. Fishing in the summer then deer, black bear, moose, and partridge in the fall and early winter, then as soon as the lake froze enough, ice fishing.
I enjoyed being outside, but dreaded getting a know-it-all American cowboy who wouldn't listen to sound advice. Thankfully it was a rare occasion, but there were a few that really wrinkled my pantaloons. The one that particularly still chaps my booty was a pair I was guiding, hunting with a bull moose tag. After 3 or 4 days of not so much as a moose fart, those two cowboys were getting restless and anxious that they'd be going home empty handed. I tried to alleviate their fears as best I could, but what did I know?
Finally late into the last day we came across a thick muskeg patch and on the opposite side was a fine specimen of a bull moose. I told them not to take the shot, as I was going to try to call it across the muskeg. They didn't listen. The one hunter took his shot and the moose never moved, only drooped its head. *sigh*
After slogging through the muskeg for what seemed forever, we arrived at the kill. It was massive. It appeared to be average sized because it was up to its belly in muskeg and when shot, it merely slumped forward and remained upright in the bog. This royally ticked me off because sunset was rapidly approaching and there was no way I was going to be able to field dress this thing in chest deep muskeg and then attempt to slog it back across that slop and another couple hundred meters to anything close to resembling a road where I could pack it out on a quad. So much quality meat was lost on that one, and I was soaked to the bone in cold muskeg and drying moose blood by time we made it back to camp at zero dark thirty. I quit when I finally got home from that trip, but days later changed my mind when I realized hopes and dreams don't put gas in my car - the cute girls at school didn't care about a dude who had to walk everywhere.
My school has a gaga pit, and I play in it whenever it's not soaked (and it frequently is).
One day, I backed into the lower wall and, being tall, I tripped over it and landed flat on my back without any attempt to stop myself. It wasn't great, but it was the best laugh I've ever had outside.
those of you wondering why i don't have an active RP (so far none). i try. but whenever i get to the rules section of it my computer restarts. computer: i realise what your telling me and i give up.
My luckiest shot happened when I was hunting pheasant out in Ellensburg, WA. Pheasant popped up without being flushed by one of our dogs and caught us off guard. It flew across the field while we took pot shots at it. At about 70-80 yards, I clipped it, right before it was about to go past the treeline, and it fell. The max range of an 870 is about 75 yards.
to OP you shot a deer 700 yards away with a 30-30? i find that hard to believe, 30-30 (which i have hunted with for deer) as the max range to ethical kill a deer is 250-300 yards with a skilled marksman. as the 30-30 is made as a short bush gun for hunting.
for me i love the outdoors, hunting and fishing. one of the best times i had hunting was when i shot my first good duck (i was only 14 years old) and was my first day ever out bird hunting, so we came up to this pond/slough and i was able to sneak up and got a shot of on one of the ducks and 1 shot one kill but it turns out it was a shoveler duck (which taste like mud) but a few hours late some ducks flew by me as point blank range and a took a shot and dropped a blue winged teal (which is my favorite duck to eat)
another time i loved out doors is when we went far up north to this brook trout stream and i got my first brookie.

i think we should all use common sense and logic when we answer and ask a question but always stay open minded
just cause science fails to explain something does not mean its real (afterlife,big foot, ghosts etc..) does not mean its fake try to stay opened mined instead of closed
Shoveler ducks are like channel cats are to catfish .
there a real duck the northern shoveler.

Maybe we can change it from 'gotcher deer yet?' to 'gotcher duck yet?'
i never have shot a deer, we went out hunting them only saw mule deer and moose (i had a white tail tag) and the rest of the group had elk tags. but 700 yards with a 30-30 is absurd, a 30-06 yes that's realistic, as you can take animals at 1000 yards away with skill, would i? nope.

So you're saying you shot a deer nearly half a mile away from you. Sure.
well to be realistic guns like the 30-06 and .308 win, can easily take out a deer at that range, my dad once was able to kill two pronghorns at that range with a single bullet (bullet went through the spine of the first one killing it instantly then into the heart and lungs of the one beside it, due keep in mind this was in the 80s when they could take 3 pronghorns per person and nobody in the group even knew he killed the first one as it just dropped dead) but the 30-30 is a great little deer gun with in close range but the gun is not a long range/big game killer, as its a little to light to clean kill a moose or an elk with out a perfect shot.

I hope people realize I was joking about killing a deer from 700 yards with a 30-30. Plus my 30-30 doesn't even have a scope, but then again whose does.

Believe it.
My van once ran over a flying bird.

You can't act like a dashing, carefree young man riding a bike, am I right.
.......YEAH

Let's do some math.
1/3 = 0.333...
1/3 * 3 = 1
0.333... * 3 = 0.999...
1 = 0.999...
1 - 0.999... = 0.999... - 0.999...
0.0...1 = 0
0.0...1 * 10... = 0 * 10...
1 = 0
Guns are hard to get in Ireland. So I won't be hunting anytime soon :-)

When you can't get them, you must make them. http://thehomegunsmith.com/pdf/Expedient-Homemade-Firearms-Vol-II-PA-Luty.pdf. Free to download, though you might get arrested as one guy in the U.K. did.
whats an outdoors?
can you eat it?

I live in a city, so I couldn't do any hunting even if I wanted to.
My battle.net is Kirbyintron#1254, if you want to play some Overwatch with me.
A couple years ago I used to go into the woods a lot to smoke or whatever with my friends and I got lyme disease.
You dropped a deer from half a mile with a 30-30? Wikipedia says the max range of a 30-30 is 200 yards, so I'm calling untrue.
As for the outdoors, I don't hunt, but walks are awesome, and a great mental refresher.
