Welcome to /v/guns! This is the home of firearms enthusiasts on Voat. If you're into things that go boom, this is the place for you!
RELATED SUBVERSES
The posting rules are below. Violations of any of these rules will result in post removal. Repeated, systematic violations by one user will result in a ban if all of the moderators agree that it's needed. If you see violations of rules 3 or 4 occurring, don't hesitate to mail a screenshot of the activity to the moderation team.
Moderators are held to a higher standard on this subverse and the rules that they must follow are also posted below. If a moderator is acting against the moderator rules, take a screenshot and message it to the head moderator, @Thjoth. Repeated violations will result in their removal from the mod team.
SUBSCRIBER RULES:
-
All content MUST be related directly to firearms. For our purposes, a firearm is defined as a device that uses rapidly expanding gases to launch a projectile. Size doesn't matter, so this includes everything from your .22 to a naval cannon.
-
No memes, image macros, or reaction gifs are allowed.
-
Violation of the global user agreement will not be tolerated.
-
Repeated personal attacks upon or harassment of a user across different unrelated threads will not be tolerated.
-
No spam. If you want to promote your personal site, blog, or company, then make sure you participate EXTENSIVELY in other posts as part of this community. The account of the Tennessee Arms Company on Reddit is a good example of commercial members of the industry participating in a community in a way that betters both the community and the company.
-
All politics posts must go into the stickied politics megathread, which is refreshed on the 1st of every month. If something big is happening (eg. the M855 ban), the moderators will create a specific megathread for that event at their discretion.
MODERATOR RULES:
-
Moderators will follow all normal rules.
-
When removing a post or comment, moderators will copy and paste the rule violation that led to the removal in a reply.
-
Moderators will not take any action whatsoever if a rule from the sidebar is not violated.
-
Bans must be discussed among moderators. A single moderator cannot ban someone without talking to the other moderators.
-
Moderators will maintain active accounts. Inactive moderators who haven't posted or spoken with another moderator in 30 days will be removed.
-
Moderators will not personally attack, harass, or otherwise be complete dicks to members, either during normal conversation or while carrying out their duties.

Between you and me - LOL - all the camo nonsense is for the one owning the gun ... just bling. Never had it when I was younger and an avid hunter and I did just fine.

I like the golden timber finish the best but if it makes the hunting better I could try it.

I think it's all a personal preference ... it don't make the rifle shoot any straighter or a ten point buck to wander into your field of view - LOL.

Camo guns are good for putting down somewhere and then having a hard time finding them again. Great training for keeping track of your stuff from now on.

Ok I get the bright orange gun then

You wouldn't lose that one in the woods! I have never used camo anything when hunting, although I can see the merits of it. The best stalking tools I have found are patience and stillness. I have lost track of all of the animals that I spooked over the years and never got a shot while learning this. (Even though it was told to me when I first stated hunting a long time ago.) All part of the learning curve. I don't use camo, but I do avoid bright colors, except it is handy to have contrasting colors on small tools like knives and such that are easily misplaced in the woods. Good luck with your hunting!

No, deer don't see color the way we do, they don't use sight the way we do. They rely far more on scent.

I generally cover myself in estrus, that way if I don’t bag the big one, at least I get some play on the side

I know someone who hunts turkey with a rifle. He says it's a million times easier than a shotgun. But it needs to be in camo. The color of the gun makes no difference for the deer, obviously (as long as it's not flashing off any flat surfaces or perhaps lenses).

Buddy, are you fucking with me?
Because I spent a couple minutes looking for it and started to feel like it was a trap.
Is the camo that good or am I that dumb?
[–] PhilaFerret ago
I'm really sorry, my friend ... but let me know if you want to go squatching some time (kidding).
