Do you practice shot your rifle before the hunt season

[Fishy Wishy]

Yeah I'll put 2-3 rounds down the barrel the weekend before the hunt. What responsible hunter wouldn't

I hope that when you guys are doing your shooting, you are taking the time to use the same position that you would when the hunt starts. I do most of my shooting from a bench these days so my blinds have a gun rest..... If I am out wandering then I always try to grab a tree for a rest. Make things as easy as possible, it's not a government project.......

It's ok...I use the $50/box fancy bullets. They're super accurate and will kill anything they come near

Some people think this has an effect on game. Im of the mind it doesnt do anything

Once a bull moose walked out and stood between us and the target (Sunday before the hunt). Another time just before deer season I took shots to confirm my rifle, and turned around and there was a doe and fawn grazing in the field behind me.

Yep. I shoot year round.At the range at the cottage not just for staying sharp for hunting season but cause it's Dang Fun.Remember "Happieness is a warm gun"

[northernontario]

Yes... along with regular practice, it's expected that everyone at camp either sights in their firearm on the Sunday before the hunt, or has done it on their own time prior to the hunt.

Thats about the extent of it for me I,am a cheap bugger and dont like using my ammo up,if it hits the target,good to go.

You would be surprised to see how many guys take there deer rifles home from camp and never lay a hand on it until it is time to case it for the drive to camp the following year. Sad.
