Well, I say good for them, well done. Yeah one of them especially was a squemish liberal, but hey, give them credit for getting out of their comfort zone and make an effort to understand guns and hunting. I hope there are many more liberals who follow the lead of these ladies. If that were the case I bet we’d have a lot fewer call from liberals to tear down the Second Amendmet.

I was expecting so much worse and was pleasantly surprised. I think they got it and will never look at a rifle the same way again. Chalk two from the roles of the gun takers.

The only shame I see in the video is on the guy who shot the yearling. I swear it was so small it probably still had its spots. A little patience next time. What a waste of a good deer tag.

<< This morning Wife and I had coffee with a another couple who live here. She’d shot a semi-auto pistol yesterday and had gotten her thumb in the way of the recoil.
They’d wrapped it up pretty well. Still throbbing and bloodied. >>

Who taught her to use a long since abandoned (30+ years) revolver hold on a semi-auto?

“as green as they could be about hunting, firearms, and the outdoors”

I agree. They were surprised about the emphasis on safety.

My only hope is that these two bimbos actually got a taste of real deer hunting in the process. And no, deer “hunting” is not the same as deer “killing” or (ahem) field dressing or meat preparation.

At some point, sitting quietly against a tree and trying hard to “tune in” to the forest, the magic of deer hunting sinks in. Something buried deep in your DNA starts to awaken. You begin to hear and smell and see what is really around you. The direction of the breeze is important. You belong there.

The “hunting” part of deer hunting is pure magic. I can’t find a better word for it.

Hopefully these ladies felt just a few moments of the magic. If so, they’ll be back for more.

BRAVO for these ladies! Perhaps if more of their friends actually spent some time in the great outdoors with hunters/shooters there would be far far less disinformation about hunters/shooters, the 2nd Amendment, and our true concern for the environment.

Anybody familiar with Illinois gun laws? I know you have to have a FOID card to purchase firearms and ammunition. But, how about use? I assume these gals didn’t buy the guns and ammo they are shown using, but what about loaning them for hunting, etc?

Thanks for posting this. It was overall very positive for hunting. Maybe we can bring libs around to our way of thinking through the ethics of hunted meat and the independence that a gun provides. Whatever it takes.

The applicable reg...:

FIREARM OWNERS' ID CARD (issued by Illinois State Police) Regardless of who owns the gun, anyone who has a firearm or firearm ammunition in their possession must have in their possession a valid (F.O.I.D.) Card unless (a) A licensed nonresident hunting in Illinois, or (b) Under 21 and under the immediate control of a parent, guardian, or responsible adult who has in their possession a valid F.O.I.D. Card. Only one supervisory adult is required to have a F.O.I.D. Card in their possession, if all hunters under 21 in the party without a F.O.I.D. Card remain under the direct supervision of the supervisory adult possessing the F.O.I.D. Card.

I think that both of the reporter-ettes celebrated their 21st a while ago.

Got my wife one of those new sporty hammerless model .38.
One less thing to get in the way.

My son has video on his Facebook of his 7-year-old daughter shooting his AK. It's awesome!

Having done a lot of archery myself I’d bet good money I could never do that even in my prime.

I have nothing against women in the woods with rifles. But inexperienced, clueless idiots like these two are what make the woods as dangerous as the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. More than once I have had bullets whiz past me from idiots. It is a great temptation to return fire, however, I saved that for Iraq.

Great gun! The original point-and-click interface. It eliminates the erroneous act of cocking a revolver before shooting.

I’m just a fan of that old addage, “if it can go wrong it will”.
Get rid of one more thing to go wrong or get in the way.
Me, I like my Kimber.
