How many hunters in the US use an assault rifle for hunting? - Quora
Found this interesting.
I grew up around a lot of friends who loved guns in Reno, Nevada. I had two shotguns and two 22s. A single shot 22 and a lever action Winchester like 22.
Used to hunt rattlesnakes around Rattlesnake Mountain in Reno, Nevada with a few friends but was never very good as I would take the rear in the line and "accidentally" bump into rocks. Boy was I clumsy.
The friends I went hunting with had a lot of rattlesnake skins tacked up in their bed rooms. I had Playboy centerfolds at around 13 or 14.
I gave up the friends after one of them shot me in the left picky with a BB gun. He had been pointing it at my eye but I persuaded him to try to shoot between my fingers. He missed. But I had had enough of these "friends" who were very much into the hunting tradition.
They did eat the rattlesnakes they killed.
