This isn't about killing animals necessarily, but I've been thinking about taking up trap shooting as a hobby.  What kinda shotgun should I get? Preferably one that is inexpensive, reliable, and most of all, safe.

Thinking maybe a Benelli Nova?

Trap shooting itself can be fairly expensive as far as hobbies go. Shells have gotten fairly expensive, plus range membership, gun, etc. Just fair warning, obviously as a :kstategrad: no big deal.

I've never hunted in my life.  Been thinking about getting a gat and going sometime.  I'm thinking of either starting with birds of some sort or going straight into big game (ie. bears or something).  I don't know if I would feel good killing some kind of grazing animal like a deer.  I would rather kill something that would just as soon kill me.  Plus, a giant stuffed bead would look pretty great in my living room, nomsayin?!?!

this is srs post. srs.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

What 8manpick said, cost shouldn't matter.  That aside trap shooting is fun.  Def go over/under, accept both 2.75 and 3 inch shell.

CZ would make a nice trap gun for your specs.  The Mallard I think?

I don't know how good I would be at hunting but I am an AMAZING trapper.

Since May I have trapped and killed OVER 30 mice in my backyard/side of house using a variety of lures. I started out using peanut butter but have recently switched to Halloween candy, results have been promising. 

The mongrel vermin seem to attack in WAVES... I will kill 6-9 mice in a week then the traps will go silent...I stop being vigilant and sure enough 4 weeks later BOOM! I see some lil guyz scampering around by the shed....set up some traps and kill a solid half dozen. 

So far we have had only 1 confirmed security breach and that unlucky vermin was dispatched by my final line of defense...a housecat named baby.  :D

Nope, bought a snickers bar and it worked great but then I killed all of that wave and never bought another snickers bar.

invasive species with no predators outcompeting everything. only catchable by spear fishing.

sometimes they have bounties and derbys to kill as many as possible.

venomous and also tasty.

Just get a good used 12 GA Remington 870 with a ribbed barrel for around $200 or less to see if you enjoy it.

Yes to this. I have an 870 Express. It is a great gun to shoot a few times a year. If you fall in love, then go crazy and spend some extra money.

The O/U's hold their value better so if you don't like it just sell it.  With the 870 you basically just dump it in a lake for fish habitat.

 :thumbs: Looks pretty thick! Where abouts did that killing take place? I have buds here in NC that dream of hunting in KS. I want to show them those photos and tell them how close it was to where I grew up.

This makes me sad.

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/11/10/world/africa/rhino-extinct-species-report/index.html

Farewell friend.



New species are found all of the time, other species are going extinct all of the time. Cycle of life and all, I guess. However, when it is a big majestic animal like that, I agree, it makes me sad.

Can't clone them or something?  Also, lets get to work on some dinosaurs.  Bring back the plant eating ones with really long necks and make them taste like bacon or something.  Boom world hunger solved.
