I had a kid dump his bike and take off running at the sight of my pitty a half a block away. lol.
This was common when we lived in Detroit.

And this halloween during trick or treating, we had :doge: on the porch with us and I was surprised at how many :mahtroy: :nope: out of their free 1% candy handout when they saw her.

I'm telling you man. Or they run to the other side of the street. Had :doge: in GF's coffee shop to get a to-go cup. :mahtroy: :mahtroy: wouldn't even come the F in the shop, they waited outside until I had doggie out of the building, lol.

Meanwhile the little AZN girl that lives down the block runs TO my doggie and it's instant flop on back belly rubs.

Revolvers are, in my experience, more entertaining to shoot than just about any other pistol.

Muzzle loading black pwder is the most fun rifle.

First decision is the round. I think 300 mag is probably the right choice but I am open to input
Dad has two 300 win mags, one ported and one heavy barrel gun. They definitely reach out further than most people can accurately shoot, my complaint is its useless inside of 100-150yds depending on the bullet. He shoots one of the polymer accutip rounds similar to the bullet I use, but its moving so fast that its less effective close range than my round. 300 win mag 180 grain vs 260 remington 140 grain. Uncle shoots a 7mm mag thats I think is a great compromise. 160? grain bullet I believe. Honestly if you're looking for range and aren't trying to kill elephants with it, the biggest thing is finding a bullet with good trajectory, and fucking knowing the bullets trajectory. I've grown up with the mindset that you never change your scope settings unless you're sighting it in, but if you keep track of where its at religously and adjust for range (based on trajectory) and whatnot and can shoot worth a shit, you shouldn't need anything too crazy to reach out that far.
