no help for new hunters

[scalerman]

I hunted for 10 years with a gun that I hated in order to get the one I wanted. I know some very generous hunters but I don't know any that would loan a gun to a stranger. I have loaned guns to people that will be hunting under my direct supervision but never to someone I hardly know. Perhaps you should let your girlfriend carry your rifle while the two of you are out hunting- let her have first crack at it.
