Paper target guy? Hmmm, perhaps. I brush up on paper targets. Shot some holes this week, as a matter of fact. And I did have a period of time where I was an instructor in the police Dept. if that is equivalent to paper targets. Have I been hunting? Yes, and I ate what I shot. I have no problems with hunting or hunters. Have I been shot at and shot back? Yes, I have and I have shot and killed humans, if that qualifies me in your realm of acceptance. Until I moved down here, I also spent a couple of years with my daughter and her husband competing in USPSA/IDPA, if you know what that is. But, I don't take much interest in hunting, even though I encourage my grandson and his father to hunt and bring me some venison to grill. I find it more sporting to shoot at something that shoots back. Not much chance of that anymore.
Yes, I own a few guns, if that is any of your business. Couple of rifles and a few pistols. I probably have about a thousand rounds or so of ammo for my weapons. Nothing for your coming apocalypse though.
You're not paranoid? Are you not the gent that ends EVERY post with Stock UP On Ammo? Are you not the one that thinks all politicians are against you? Are you not the one that says he doesn't trust fast food people to handle your food properly? Not that it means much to me. Like I said before, more paranoid people the less people in line when I go there.
Interesting that you mentioned prairie dogs. I saw something very similar in my many travels through Turkey. By the way, how are Pdogs BBQ'd? Taste good? I guess the closest thing that I have had would be the squirrels that I used to hunt and eat. But, I have never eaten prairie dog.

Ol' Timer, I respectfully disagree with you with regard to pdogs being hunted. We drive into the prairie where there are known pdog towns (many burrows close together) it is not difficult to find these pdog towns; all you need is eyesight. They are oblivious to us as we set up shooting tables and start with the closest (75 yards) and work our way back (usually 500 yards, sometimes 700 yards). We start with 17hmr, move to 223s as we get past 150 yards, and transition to 243 for 400yards and beyond. I reload my own 243 stuff (it is expensive to buy retail), the 17 and 223 is purchased.
Hunting in my opinion is more like stalking elusive animals, sitting still and quiet in a tree stand, no guarantee that you will even get a shot off. Hunting is not as easy as shooting.
As for your paper target stuff, I enjoy the range up in Ocalla National Forest often as I can. I do find it odd that you enjoy shooting at something that shoots back, have you tried steel lined walls yet?
I do end my posts with STOCK UP ON AMMO! for 2 reasons: one; I can easily identify where I left off in the discussion (as screen names are all "guests" in this forum) and two; I believe in being prepared if the need arises.
I am not the person that complained about food prep, nor believe all politicians are against me...when I entered this forum there were 41 people viewing, maybe the person you are thinking of is one of the other 39 people on here???
You don't eat pdogs, they are known to have the plague...if you want to eat what you killed here in FL, try hog hunting, taste great even BBQ'd.
STOCK UP ON AMMO!
