The bear's autopsy showed most of Timothy Treadwell in his stomach.

Becoming "One" with the bear. :-)

Does anyone make rifled slug barrels?

Sure do. You would just wasting those expensive sabots without one.

I thought that is considered illegal because the bore is larger than .50.

I believe that there is a "sporting purpose" exception.

I thought that deer slugs are usually rifled on the outside so they catch the air and start spinning once they exit the barrel.

Those are foster type slugs, which generally should only be used with a smooth barrel. They are generally much less accurate than sabots from a rifled barrel, however.

I'm clearly a Conservative, and I'm diametrically opposed to the DU and to PETA.

You are not clearly a conservative, especially when you are carring water for DU and PETA.

Gosh, is it that scary to you that I commented truthfully towards a person who has been gifted with prosthetics; a person able to use his hands again who would choose such deathly, harmful pursuit instead of something life embracing and life enhancing?

Life embracing and life enhancing? Good God. Turn in your man card.

Just because I comment that this person made a worthless choice to go deer hunting.........that makes me a DU and Peta lover?

Yes you are pathetically obvious.

Yeah, we hear you there. It gets so old, doesn't it? On someone's advice, "he" started his own thread.

Shooting (a PC term for killing, also see hunting or tracking).....For sport or necessity? Putting food on the table or just for the fun of seeing something die? Thinning overpopulation? Perhaps you could clarify.

If you say it doesn't matter, many would take issue.

The guy eats what he kills, if you bothered to read the article. Perhaps he could get his food elsewhere, but I am glad to see that a guy with no arms can enjoy a hobby like this one.

This appears to be a good example of someone overcoming a handicap. A recent article in the Marietta (OH) Times regarding handicapped hunters made no mention of this when handicapped hunters from 3 states collected (killed) a large number of deer.

You don't have to be a PETA loon to dislike killing just for the sake/fun of killing....'course there are the other loons who say "we can kill anything we want, anytime, any place".

I actually DO think it takes a PETA loon, and I honestly cannot understand what upsets you about hunting. This isn't the same as wanton killing. There is sport to hunting, it's a longstanding traditional means of recreation.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

' I'm thinking you've GOT to be related to Lauralee Braswell. And while I never thought I'd say these words, my apologies to Lauralee for the comparison because you make HER look like a Rocket Scientist, LOL!'

That is funny, but what about the prohibition on personal attacks? Where is the Poncharelli pic when one needs it for FS. Maybe FS and LLB are the same dolt.

I'm no anti-hunting, latte' lapper, but there sometimes appears to be a blurry line between wanton killing and recreation.

Not sure we are intelligent enough to understand the meaning of life in all its forms...which are superior; why are some meant for eating; some for reverence.

I have no answers....which is why I tread lightly. Those who claim to know or simply don't care on either extreme of the argument are the only ones I take issue with. Yep, I hammer on PETA pushers as well...no real disagreement here...simply don't know.

Congrats to him. Really nice to hear that he is able to get out and be that patient. I'm getting frustrated that I haven't seen a nice buck this season, and this guy waited 8 years! Amazing.
