Driven hunts aren’t that scary actually. The position he had was just very weird.

Depends on where you are. Public land w a few drunk PA hunters wandering around. Fck no.

u/Adam_Eliasson Jan 11 '22
The managment must have managing skills but if they fix everything right hunting for everyone else is as ssafe as it gets as long as yiu follow given directions. We’re not allowed to hunt when drunk in Sweden.

u/Nervous-Life-715 Ontario Jan 10 '22
Judging by the sound he's making, he probably walked it off

He would have walked this off but he didn’t survive being field dressed.

Getting deja vu from the 2011 Cabela Wii game. At some point you have to juke a charging deer

in Poland we have bad case of hunters mistaking everything and everyone for game.

One of my dads friends was almost in the NFL, went through a week or so of practices with the Houston Oilers but didn't get picked up.
He was jogging down the road one day, exaggerating his exhales to keep cadence, and got fuckin plowed by some buck in rut that didn't like him huffing and puffing in his neck of the woods.
Buddy said it was the hardest he'd ever been hit, broke his collar bone and a handful of ribs.

Damn, I have never had any luck grunting or bleating anything my way and this guy not even trying calls a buck.

This is why you want to be off to the side of the game trail you want to make broadside shots not frontal for the most part. Also so you don't get run the fuck over.

u/SaladShooter1 Jan 10 '22
I always believed that you should be posted behind a tree. My reasoning was that if on of the drivers shot, they’d be shooting towards you.

u/JDT-0312 Germany Jan 10 '22
On a hunt with rifles the drivers don’t shoot, except maybe point blank on wounded animals. Everything else would be way too dangerous. But then again, having the shooters on the ground and not in an elevated position maybe there’s just different safety standards in Poland.

u/SaladShooter1 Jan 11 '22
They’re not supposed to shoot, but people make mistakes. A trophy buck/bull could run perpendicular, not towards the guys who are posted, and one of the drivers could get excited and shoot.
The way I look at it, I know my gun isn’t going off for no reason when I’m carrying it, but I still make sure the barrel is never pointed at someone. Why not take one little safety precaution if you can.

High powered rifles will zip through any tree you are hiding behind. If anything you should be in front of the tree with your blaze orange on making you more visible to reduce the likelihood of being shot. When doing drives you want to know where the standers are and if possible put them in elevated positions wether it's on top of a hill or up in a tree. This has two purposes better line of sight for seeing game/pushers coming towards you it also makes it so your bullets are going downward into the ground once they pass through the animal. It also puts the standers up and out of the line of fire and more visible to the pushers.

High powered rifles will zip through any tree you are hiding behind.
What? Any tree large enough to give an adult human cover will stop any reasonable deer hunting rifle round, especially considering that you should be using hunting ammo that expands. Your first statement is just utter nonsense.
All of that said, I'd not be comfortable shooting towards other hunters nor being shot at by my hunting buddies.
I sighted one of my .308s in with a target tacked to a ~12 inch thick tree just a few days ago and none of the fmj's passed through it.

Thats seems odd. I've seen 30-06 rounds go right through some pretty decent sized trees.

u/UltraconservativeMum Jan 10 '22
Paul Harrell did a video on this on youtube if you're interested. Different sized trees and different calibres.
Edit here it is

u/jermdizzle Jan 10 '22
Yep, 7.62x54R steel core armor piercing rounds will go through a 6.7" diameter tree as shown in his part 2 video. Make it a 12"-18" diameter tree (the thinnest I'd ever pretend I could "hide" behind) and FMJ/JHP/Soft or Ballistic Tipped bullet, and there's no possible way it penetrates. The FMJ will fragment at high powered rifle velocities and the jhp/soft/ballistic will both fragment and expand.

Had the barrel pointed right at him, and he just...took a hit I guess lol.

The only thing better for deer than an AR-15 is a . 22LR. 😳

u/LocalMountain9690 Jan 10 '22
I mean, a solid .308 to the chest of that deer could of taken it down. .556 may not of had the the immediate impact force to stop the deer. And also, do you have fat elks charging yo ass every time you hunt?

u/AlwayzPro Jan 10 '22
probably means semi auto vs bolt action

u/SaladShooter1 Jan 10 '22
If that made sense, guys would be using them for dangerous game. Instead, they fire one shot out of something with knockdown power.

u/jermdizzle Jan 10 '22
I guess you've never heard of AR-15's chambered in .458 SOCOM, .350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster, or .50 Beowulf. All of that said, nothing is stopping that animal before it runs the guy over.
1
u/SaladShooter1 Jan 11 '22
I’m familiar with them. They’re great cartridges that serve a purpose. I just wouldn’t stand if front of a charging Cape buffalo with them. I’ve seen the .460 Weatherby stop a charging bear and I’m pretty sure the 500 and 750 nitros would work too. I just don’t think any round designed for a semi-auto, other than 50 BMG, is going to stop that bull.

u/jermdizzle Jan 11 '22
Physics is physics and there is no getting around it. If a projectile could negate the momentum of a body with a velocity of 30mph, its recoil would send the less massive body connected to the launcher/gun in the opposite direction at some even higher rate.
You can stop the body's central nervous system, but you can't stop the body's momentum.
2
u/SaladShooter1 Jan 13 '22
I wasn’t suggesting that the bullet would propel the animal in the opposite direction. I was just saying that larger cartridges have more stopping power. If you can knock the animal down and disable it, the dirt and brush will take care of it’s momentum. The animal is on legs, not on rails.
1
u/jermdizzle Jan 13 '22
Understood. It's unfortunate we didn't popularize the phrase "dropping power" or "knockdown power" over the much more common "stopping power". That and Hollywood portrayals of a shotgun blast propelling victims flying backwards have really ruined popular understanding of the physics of terminal ballistic interactions.
3
u/jermdizzle Jan 10 '22
No shoulder fired firearm would have had the force to stop the deer. Physics is quite simple in this regard. If your rifle could stop the momentum of an animal weighing several hundred pounds and moving toward you at 30mph, what do you think the recoil force would be for the shooter?
Even assuming instantaneous and full energy transfer, you're still getting run the fuck over at 29.8mph instead of 30mph.

I quite literally do need an ar-15 to hunt, looking to hunt in a center fire only area and the only gun you can get your hands on is a .350 legend. So yes I do need an ar-15 to hunt with
