Best cartridge to use for mushroom hunting?
    #5287209 - 02/10/06 08:30 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)



So I was wondering if anybody's had experience with using a gun for mushroom hunting.

I am daunted by the task of hunting in such close cover with such dangerous game. I was thinking that the ol' 22-250 would be best for such dangerous game at a long range, but a shotgun would eliminate the need to slurry the tissues later for making stew.

Reliability counts: you don't want a misfire when being charged by a 300 lb... er... 30 gram morel!

Any suggestions?

For chanterelles, I like to use a  30-06, but when it comes to morels, I like to break out my tripod mounted, belt fed, liquid cooled, full automatic, twelve gage shot gun, loaded with punkin balls!  :foshizzle:

I like to get right up close. I use my .40 caliber Glock Model 23!

Happy mushrooming!

Seriously, before I knew anything about mushrooms, they were just a nice treat to find while out shooting :lol:
I prefer the smaller caliber for mushrooms. At a distance, they are great for shooting with the Ruger 10/22, knocks the caps off so nicely.
Pumpkins are what the Ithica 12 ga. was made for :evil:

:cheers:
