Nice deer, not trying to be a dick or sound like an ass but the first rule applies to your reply.

(Treat every firearm as if it were loaded) I've lost count on how many guys get caught up in the Moment and chamber another round only to forget all about it till they go to load a round later, unload their magazine or worse accidental discharge.

As I said I'm not trying to act Like a know it all I just don't want to see any fellow hunters killed or injured.

[swampdonkey jr.]

there was no magazine in it, i understand what your say i wouldnt of put it there if wasnt emtpy :wink:

[kennyj]

Nice buck! Should be very tasty.

Nice buck and congrats.

I'm with Matty though. I know a guy blew a hole in his catalytic converter with a "safe and checked and unloaded" gun as he was putting it into his truck.
He kept it as a reminder how close he came and to show other guys. And good for him for rising above his vanity to do so.
From then on, I don't even trust myself. They're loaded all the time as far as I'm concerned.

[TIKA 300]

For sure a nice buck,congrats.

[new hunter]

Nice deer .
Thats it , I'm done on grouse .
Screw waiting for the weather , I gotta get me one of those.

[Litzodd6]

Give the kid a break if he said its safe take his word for it, nice buck bro

[nano]

Nice buck, congrats man!

[nolan-sawka]

love it when everyone forgets the whole point of this pic and keeps bringing up his gun. its pretty hard to rest your gun in good positions for a pic i always want my gun in my pics and they dont always sit where you want or how you want, if he says its unloaded its unloaded its his choice iv done the same thing. drop it. good job on the deer bro

[Gateholio]

Nice buck! I assume you are intelligent enough to not point a rifle with a chambered round at your face, so I'd just ignore the rest of the comments. ;)

[Knute]

Nice! :)

That's a good buck, congrats.

hi,great job on the deer im with matty though i dont ever want a rifle pointed at me this is going back 30 years in firearm training,im a little surprised gatehouse thought it was ok

[swampdonkey jr.]

i just laugh at you all that are b*tching about where my barrel it pointing at get over i know it was empty i know it was safe thats why i didnt care it was pointing at my chest some of you just find sh*t on here to try and make a point, were you there no, was it unload yes get over ;-)

[Ruffed]

Swampdonkey, I don't think people are trying to rain on your parade. I think you're taking it the wrong way. Your reaction however and callous response indicate to me that you're not willing to listen when people are offering helpful advice. That's not a good character trait. Safety first all the time. I know because I almost killed my best friends brother and it still haunts me when I think about it.

Nice deer by the way.

I don't see anyone "bitching" on this post at all? Just a few people pointing out that you've got your rifle pointed at your chest that's all. And rule #1 (to some of us anyways) is to always assume your gun is loaded....

Anywhooooo........

Congrats on a nice buck!

[Wydtrak]

Nice deer, too bad the thread couldn't have been about the deer rather than a bunch of jacka$$'s giving you their two bits on gun safety. A lot of armchair hunters with wild TV on this site.

[Steeleco]

Nicely done, still in full velvet even this late. Congrats

[landphil]

And rule #1 (to some of us anyways) is to always assume your gun is loaded....

...until proven safe. Which he says he did. My choice for a field pic? No, but not the end of the world to have an empty steel pipe pointed at you either.

Anyhow, nice buck!

[Rackmastr]

Hahaha....man oh man. Some people cant just say "Wow nice buck, congrats!"

What the hell do those guys do when they put their rifles away in their cases in the truck (or home) and they are pointed in several directions? Yikes...

Congrats on a cool hunt!!! Ignore the other posts....lol

[huntcoop]

And we wonder why lots of people do not post pictures :roll: nice deer, thanks for posting.

[BrowningWSM]

Hey dude nice buck! I'm certain that gun is unloaded, deer isn't moving so clip must be empty.:razz:
Quite the hunting guide you have there to find that tank!

[Vini]

Nice Buck. Forget the gun position and work on your picture taking:razz:. Take a course or something..... Come on man step up!:smile:

[moose2]

Nice looking buck guys congratulations on getting him.
Mike

[savagecanuck]

Congrats on the early buck.I see yours was still in Velvet.Mine was out of Velvet already but the 2 smaller bucks I saw the week before were still in velvet.Don't worry about all the preaching regarding your rifle most are prob just jelous as no 4 points for them.Thanks for the pics and keep them coming!

[paulgug]

Nice early buck! Love seeing them in velvet. Congrats. I am heading to region 3 next week to do some muley hunting. I can't wait to see whats out there. Hopefully I can find a buck like yours. Cheers, thanks for sharing

[Gateholio]

Why can't you guys just accept that the guy shot a nice buck, unloaded his rifle and took a picture and nobody was in danger at any time?

While I agree it's best to handle all guns as if they were loaded, there is a point when the gun is unloaded and not a danger to anyone else. I've pointed lots of muzzles at myself when cleaning, examining a bore, checking the crown, lining up a chronograph or when a rifle is in the back seat of my truck.

Cripes, it's like someone has to add a "nobody was harmed while taking this photograph" disclaimer....Get over it, the thread is about his hunting trip, not his photo taking abilities.

[swampdonkey jr.]

thank you gatehouse! and everyone else who realize this was about my hunting trip not where my guns pointing after it was unload and made sure it was safe, hope you all have a safe hunting season, cheers

[fireblaze]

beauty buck! love region 3 hunting.

[BigfishCanada]

Nice buck, we got a 5 point in velvet early sept, going up next weekend and hope to have my 10 year old get his first!!!

[abbyfireguy]

Getting cabin fever stuck here at work..Can't wait to get out in the bush in two weeks.

[Kilwinning]

September Buck ,He`s going to be tasty ,Congratulations

[Banjo]

Nice Buck man! Lots of good sausage and steak for you this year. I'm headed to region 5 to fill my doe tag next weekend and it would be a bonus to come across a buck like that.

[swampdonkey jr.]

hes very tasty had some deer steaks tonight just picked all the meat up from sumas meats today after dropping my bear off, was weird every ever buck we saw that weekend didnt have any velvet on it but he was full velvet still.

[Caretaker]

good looking Buck were bouts in Region 3 looking for a place to take my son in Nov.
