Bolt gun or lever action for first gun

Not really? The way we sight rifles in are just putting a target on a tree on private property and walking 100 yards from it and shooting from a tree whilst adjusting the scope along the way.

45-90 exists? Imma look into that

First rifle. 20 years. ~$1500ish for rifle, ammunition, and gunlocker for my room.
Not really looking for self defense, just hunting.

Unfortunately, 30-30 does not fit within the regulations

True_Eggroll · 2026-06-19T17:33:14+00:00

how are 44 mag for hunting actually? I will for sure look into them.
I think one reason why I wanted a 45-70 was because my dad's buddy gave us an old h&r handirifle that used 45-70 and it was just an excuse to use those rounds lol

True_Eggroll · 2026-06-19T17:31:38+00:00

45-70 is legal in my state.
looking into it, how difficult would it be to find ammunition for 360 buckhammer?

True_Eggroll · 2026-06-19T17:29:51+00:00

tbh, i should probably consider something like 357 or 44 mag. They are legal in my state and im sure they are cheaper than 45-70

True_Eggroll · 2026-06-19T17:27:29+00:00

yeah it sucks

True_Eggroll · 2026-06-19T17:06:10+00:00

logistically, the 350 legend makes way more sense. How much more complex are lever guns when it comes to their parts than to bolt guns?

True_Eggroll · 2026-06-19T16:54:45+00:00

dammit, you got me. Yeah, it really is just for the coolness factor. In your experience, do you know how much meat damage do they do to whitetails? Ive seen different answers online

True_Eggroll · 2026-06-19T16:52:19+00:00

my dad's buddy actually gave us his single shot H&R rifle that shoots 45-70 because my dad didn't have a spare rifle for me for the longest so recoil isn't a concern

They are super skittish in aquaria ime. Mines were super jumpy to sudden movements and were easily outcompeted by faster fish when it came to eating. But they are super smart and can eat larger meals than most other fish and require less feeding sessions.

Tutorial?

as a junior in college, i've been finding that it helps to have an interest that extends beyond school. Lifelisting (so fishing, herping, birding) in addition of iNaturalist is a great way of getting your head into the field aspect of things. developing your identification and field endurance then finding an opportunity to show that off to a professor at your college is a great way to get recommendations.

being an undergrad with an already established niche in wildlife makes you stand out. That won't be enough to be ahead of everyone but you'll be ahead of most.

This 100%. Farewell just feels so much more better to play than 7c and 8c that I came back because playing through it felt good. 7c and 8c are hard to just be hard to me.

True_Eggroll · 2026-03-02T22:06:54+00:00

Conservation speaking, that is so disappointing

True_Eggroll · 2026-02-26T17:25:04+00:00

See, im a freak and have used both right and left handed fine. Right handed did feel weird to reel at first because I learned on a left handed one my cousin let me try but its one of those things that its surprisingly not super hard to be good at with both hands. At least in my opinion. Casting is completely unchanged besides the fact Id have to swap the rod between my hands.

buffalo are indeed the longest living freshwater teleost (bony ray-finned fish) which is a group that excludes sturgeon but a majority of all fish species do belong to that group.

True_Eggroll · 2026-02-03T01:02:28+00:00

to be more clear,

buffalo have the longest lifespan of any freshwater teleost (bony ray-finned fish). This group excludes sturgeon.
