Just spent some time with the wifes side of the family. These guys are big time deer hunters. Eat, sleep, breath hunting, which is cool, but not really my interest.

Showed me their guns, which was "disappointing" to say the least. All of them were rusty. Very rusty. And none of them looked like they have ever been cleaned, well ever. Or even had a drop of gun oil placed on them. A Benelli M1 super 90 12 gauge had the nastiest, sandiest action have ever seen. No way that thing cycles. Two of the rifles I picked up had obstructed bores, and had 2-3 inches of mud shoved down the barrels.

I went target shooting with a "sighted in" rifle and found it at least two feet off.

These guys could care less about gun control or modern semi-auto rifles, as long as they got to keep their (rusty) bolt actions.

What a shame to see some good ol boys not care for their firearms, or care about the laws restricting some.

And these were not broke rednecks. Definitely in the millionaire club.

Did they have any deer yurn?

Two rifles with 2-3" of mud down the barrels and one that was shooting two feet off. Which direction? What distance? What kind groups? LOL.

I've met, and even know some legit Fudds. This... sure. Yeah.

Is a FUDD the opposite of a gun snob?

I guess. Sadly we can't all be tier one operators.

Or a Sergeant of a three man Rapid Tactical Force.

So did you help them clean their guns? Or was it just judgemental time?

No cleaning kits or gun oil to be found. Just WD40 spray cans on the bench.

Part of the problem I would say. At least part of it.

Laziness is the rest of it.

Anyone who would attempt to hunt with that being the case is an idiot. Pure and simple. And yes I am judging them based on the op's post.

Yes, I understand the reference.

Sounds like a missed opportunity for some assistance and education.

I believe, in Fudd speak, it would be a Wapid Tactical Force. Hu ha ha ha hi hu.

A FUDD can be a gun snob or not. IMO the defining feature of a FUDD is political delusion combined with magical thinking. Somehow his guns have been magically enhanced to harm only animals but not people. Therefore your AR/AK/SKS can be banned as weapons of war but his sporterized Mauser/Mosin/Enfield are hunting rifles... that were once weapons truely used in war.

Between para's "deer yurn" and the WD40 spray cans, I almost choked to death laughing...that takes me back about 40 years (no deer hunter worth his salt would be caught without either)...no wonder our wives hated to see us come home (stinking to high heaven of "yurn" and the ubigious Remington 742's claim to fame was to start rapidly wearing out from the first round downrange with that WD40 as "lube" (some of the more enlightened among us did use Three In One sewing machine oil or Hoppes Gun Oil)...it appears not a hell of a lot has changed.

Gonna hunt deer? Ya need deer yurn.

I could understand a hunting firearm having "character," i.e., scratched up stock or worn external finish, but not dirty and especially rusty inside. This doesn't make sense.

I would wager to say none of them are ex military.

Fudds are probably the most insidious group of gun owners out there, they think that "I don't need it so no one else does either". They are willing to sell out the rest of us in hopes they can maintain their elitist self image as "great white hunters" and "sportsmen". The bulk of them I do not even think of as hunters, most are trophy killers who could not find a tree without a guide.



Fudds are traitors of the highest order. They will sell you down the river just to try and save their own hides. IF there ever comes a time when we need to stand together, the will stand behind us and shoot us in the back. Fudds benefit from the blood spilled to protect their freedom, but in their arrogance they claim it to be solely as their own and would sacrifice nothing of their own to preserve it.

I say that we should use the term liberally and often, and let people prove that they are not "Fudds". They do not have to own EBR's. I know EBR's are not up everyone's alley. They just can't be against people having them.

I am tired of being held up to the wolves as a sacrifice.

(Again, not my words but nails the phrase).
