good luck. i have yet to see a moral mushroom in ANY part of Illinois, much less the northern part. They are lying, hyprocritical, adulterous little thieves. If you want moral mushrooms, you need to go furthor west, where mushrooms are actually raised right and treat others with decency and respect.Wherre is a good place to go morel mushroom hunting in northern illinois?
There are a lot of discussion boards online where morel mushroom hunters report their finds. Keep in mind, however, that a morel hunter will only give you a general idea of where to look, detailed information is always kept a secret.Wherre is a good place to go morel mushroom hunting in northern illinois?
Morels will grow in about any temperate climate. Best advice I can give you is go hunting in a tree grove right after a good rain. They seem to congregate mostly around elms and apple trees.
i picked 5 lbs in lasalle county 5/6/07. loamy soil and dead elms are good signs. also depressions and waterways.
i also picked 2 lbs in northern will county, in Naperville 5/7. most were found on the western slope of hills running to the dupage river.

What is the best type of blowgun ammo for hunting?
ive ordered a blowgun but I don't know what the best ammo for hunting isWhat is the best type of blowgun ammo for hunting?
You definitely need darts with broadheads. You can buy them premade, or make them yourself by gluing an Exacto knife blade to a wire or bamboo skewer, then use a paper cone glued on the other end of the dart.
See plenty of dart options at http://www.coldsteel.com/bigboreblowgun.鈥?/a> These blowguns are .625 ';big bore'; type, not the standard .40 cal, but you can get some ideas.
Also, the cheapo plastic push-pin tacks you can get in a box of 100 at any office supply store are normally .38 cal, and shoot great through a .40 gal blowgun for practice, and they don't stick in far.
I recall shooting a vicious dog between the eyes with one and it stuck in his forehead where he couldn't reach it. His owner wondered for years who the badda$$ was who was able to stick a tack in his dog's skull.

Politics aside re: hunting, but I am curious about something?
Why do people hang dead deer from their trees and garage rafters and such. I find the image disturbing in that can't-look-but-have-to way ... but I assume there must be a reason aside from some primitive need to show one's hunter/gather prowess. Very curious ... since I am living in Michigan and see A LOT of this.Politics aside re: hunting, but I am curious about something?
The draining blood answers make me laugh. Talking to a large animal studies friend with a masters degree, there is no way to drain blood from muscles unless the heart is still pumping. With cattle, that's why the hit them in the head with a bolt gun or shock em. The heart still beats but the brains is stunned and it's easier to bleed them out, by cutting the throat.
Most hunters do all the draining that can be done when the bullet blows a hole in the deer or the broadhead slices its way through. The hanging is for skin removal, then butchering or removing the meat in easy to package and further butcher the meat. In some areas where it is cold enough they can age the meat by leaving it in a cool area. This allows the meat to partially deteriorate and soften. They do the same thing with beef.
Now for the hunters out there, yes you will see additional blood coming out of the animal, but not out of the muscles in the meat you are merely draining the large arteries in neck, which you are not eating anyway... (arteries no, neck meat yes!)
-edit, Hah hah! Thanks Bass! Well you know what they say... You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make all the dumb animals drink!Politics aside re: hunting, but I am curious about something?
The main reason is so you can remove the Deers hide off of it and get the meat to cool as quickly as possible.* The other reasons are to age or cure the meat before you cut it up into steaks, chops, roasts and hamburg.*
They are ageing the meat.
Its part of the process of cleaning the carcass. They hang them to drain all the blood out.
To drain exess blood and let the carcass cool. This prevents spoilage of the meat.
sorry, jed, I hit the wrong button; your answer was really thumbs up, bro.
Draining blood (It's not sick It's for health reasons). Look at any butcher shop
Maker,, I see you got a lot of thumbs down on the blood draining reply. But,, you are absolutely right.. you cannot bleed a dead animal. Attempted bleeding of a dead deer is something people have always done.. Not realizing there is very little blood that will drain when this is done. Only a living animal will bleed. Most people hang deer to dress them out. Keep them hanging high so not to get the meat dirty when skinning.
Where I am,, in the south ofcourse... I quarter up the deer and saok it in ice cold salt water over night,, drain it all off,, and then soak it again in ice cold salt water again for another night. This will remove quite a bit of the blood that everyone is trying to bleed to start with. After the two nights of soaking ,, then the deer is cut up ,, wrapped,, and put in the freezer.
I have always wondered why people cut the throats of a dead animal to bleed it. That's just crazy,, Dead animals don't bleed.
Usually it is just that they have not yet butchered the deer. Some people like to hang a deer for a few days to ';age'; the meat and improve its flavor. This is often done with beef, too.
To drain the blood and to gut the deer. Also it may be for quartering the deer to process the meat.
In all honesty here, if it really bothers you so much, no one is forcing you to look at it. All you have to do is simply turn your head, or close your eyes.
People hang them up to skin them in order to get the meat from the carcass, and drain the blood out. It is a lot easier to do when the deer is hanging up and you are not bent over trying to move everything around in the woods.
Drain excess blood.
This is done to drain the blood and to make the dressing process more simple. Gutting and skinning are much more easy when the deer is hanging, ground skinning can be a pain and it is difficult to keep the meat clean.
I do the same with any large game, including catfish.
You dont see it in texas because of the temperature. I'm gonna assume you are up north, It is part of the meat prep process, If it is below 40 degrees you let it hang a couple days to cure the meat. Some people will tell you its about blood draining but they are wrong. Once a deer is field dressed and cleaned you wont get any more blood coming out of it. Getting the deer off the ground keeps critters from getting to it. Plus when yo do skin it you have to hang it up.
It has absolutely nothing to do with ';some primitive need to show one's hunter/gather prowess.'; Or ';Politic's'; for that matter. Are you always so cynical ? This is the HUNTING category.There is a lesson here somewhere if you choose to see it....
You have already been ';educated'; as to the practical explanation and need for such a thing to be done in order for the venison to cool out and drain so as not to spoil. If you find it so ';disturbing'; simply don't look
We are not just going to throw are meat on the ground where mice, rats, and other varmint can get at it. Would you throw a side of beef on the ground? Didn't think so. It also helps cool the animal and tenderize the meat. As far as people hanging them outside where it is visible, We certainly aren't going to hang them and let blood drip in our homes. Trust me it is not to brag, or to purposely offend......most of the time.
eek. Thank God I have never seen that while living in CA or NV! my Grandfather is an avid deer hunter in TX, and I've never seen him do that.
It has nothing to do with show.
If in doubt the reader should
attempt draining otherwise. Yes,
climb atop nearly pain-free buck

eliminate our firearm prowess?
You have to hang the carcass to let it drain its blood.
The same way they hang beef. If you let the blood congeal
in the meat it is basically uneatable
that's just gross, you'd be hard to find a deer hanging from any English home however we have to contend with fox hunting and dog fighting which is just vile, of coarse fox hunting is supposed to be banned here but all the twa*t royals go out and do it and seem to get away with it. I cant stand any cruelty to animals it makes me mad.neutrogena

Have you ever used a laser site when hunting game at night??? In full detail,what was it like?
What do you differently when night hunting with a laser site;than steps and actions taken during the day;compared to when you go on night hunts??? Is it easy or easier to hunt with a laser site attached to your rifle at night or is it to easy it's seems to be cheating??? What other ways of siting if game at night are there???... Thanks for all of the detailed answers... JamesHave you ever used a laser site when hunting game at night??? In full detail,what was it like?
okay let me start by qualify my authority on this subject matter. In addition to deer, elk, turkeys, bear, and so on I hunt with hounds and run a trap line. Hound hunting is my thing. It is what I do. When I am not running my pack I am reading about it, or resting up to go back out. You get the idea. Here in Oregon we are legally allowed to hunt cats and coons after dark with artificial light. Pursuit season opens Nov 15 and the whole thing is over March 15. I become nocturnal all winter long. It gets dark early and stays dark longer. The point is I have harvested hundreds of animals in pitch darkness. The best gun for what I do is a .22 rifle with a scope. A friend put a laser on his .223 and the problem is when you shine your light at the target to acquire its position you can't see the lazer. When you turn light off can't see target. Get it. Put a nice scope with excellent eye relief and good popped up mounts so WHEN you fall walking through the bs in the dark it still shoots strait. Then if you still think the laser is cool bolt one to the side of your all ready perfect set up.Have you ever used a laser site when hunting game at night??? In full detail,what was it like?
Actually, Laser sights are not a good idea. The animal you are hunting will be able to see the laser. It is much more easy for the animal to detect you when using a device like this.
You are giving the animal a better chance of getting away.
A laser sight is not very good for military use either. The enemy only need to follow the laser back to you to find you.
A laser is best used on a hand gun. No need to aim just look for the dot.
They are right about lasers not being good for night hunting and varmint control. I set up my son when he was a teen for killing barn rats in our hay barn. I attached a small Mag light with a red lens under the barrel of a Ruger 10/22 with a wide view fixed 4 power scope. Every one he shot were head shots. Worked like a charm. Most animals are not spooked from a red light also you don鈥檛 want the light too bright, just enough to see the animal and surroundings clearly.
Laser sights are best left to air soft guns and video games.
In my state hunting with laser projecting on target is illegal.
you said it , its cheating

Do you have to be 18 to purchase hunting knives at Scheels?
no, there is no store that I know of that has an age limit on buying knives, they may refuse you if your like 10 years old because of the idea that selling a knife to a 10 year old is unethical, but if your 16, i think they'd sell you it.Do you have to be 18 to purchase hunting knives at Scheels?

What does hunting mean to you?
I have a article in the paper due today so need to know what some of you guys think about the hunting experience, or just hunting in general.What does hunting mean to you?
i love to hunt i didn't do much tell a tree hugger got mad and told me how wrong it was and i called them over for a bbq and then told them it was bambi and i get all i can now and i told a peta if she walked out in the field in her deer out fit i would mont her head on my wall it gives us good old boys and ladys a chance to have a good timeWhat does hunting mean to you?
Hunting is the practice of pursuing living animals for food, recreation, or trade. In present-day use, the term refers to lawful hunting, as distinguished from poaching, which is the killing, trapping or capture of the hunted species contrary to applicable law. The species which are hunted are referred to as game and are usually mammals and migratory or non-migratory game birds.
Hunting can also involve the elimination of vermin, as a means of pest control to prevent diseases caused by overpopulation. Hunting advocates state that hunting can be a necessary component of modern wildlife management, for example to help maintain a population of healthy animals within an environment's ecological carrying capacity when natural checks such as predators are absent. However, a 2006 study by Penn State's Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics indicated that reducing the game animal population in small areas may lead to higher tick densities, resulting in more tick-borne infections in rodents leading to a high prevalence of tick-borne encephalitis and creating a tick hot-spot. In the United States, wildlife managers are frequently part of hunting regulatory and licensing bodies, where they help to set rules on the number, manner and conditions in which game may be hunted.
The pursuit, capture and release, or capture for food of fish is called fishing, which is not commonly categorized as a form of hunting. Trapping is also usually considered a separate activity. Neither is it considered hunting to pursue animals without intent to kill them, as in wildlife photography or birdwatching. The practice of hunting for plants or mushrooms is a colloquial term for foraging or gathering.
I am not a hunter and couldn't kill a deer or anything like it. However ,hunting has its place, and that is to keep the herds in check. We have killed off all the natural predictors and the deer population is exploding here. There is nothing worse than to see starving deer in the winter due to over population.
hunting is a game thats very addictive . the better you get at it the more you want to be testing you skills out . first i couldnt shoot a cow and now i can hit a matchstick , therefor im always in a need to test my self out , and if you succeed its extremely rewarding . once this big crow or a eagle dont remember used to come and take my baby chickens lol , they were in our backyard and everyday it would happen so when i found out about it i shot the damn thing from faaaaaaaar away . when it feel i knew it was dead because i aimed right at the collarbone , and because of this i got hooked . even today my friends pay 100s of dollars on video games , all i need is a rifle , couple of bullets and ima happy guy
Its about peace and quiet and spending time in nature. Also most hunters love the fact that our money goes to conservation. Hunters donate more money to conservation then peta and green peace combined... funny isn't it haha. And for all those that say it mean, The buck I got monday was missing half his back leg (someone is a horrible shot) so I ended what would have been a long and painful death. We arent all just heartless killers.
Hunting for me means getting together with family and or friends and sharing time together in the woods in pursuit of game. Weather it means deer or small game. If we bring home meat that is great if we don't than that is OK as well. Quite often I bring more home than game. It is the memories and enjoyment.
part of it is communing with nature. part is time with friends. part is the preparation, the planning, and the practice. part is the chase, the struggle, the prize. part is taking personal responsibility for the meat i consume.
Hunting for me is about ambushing my prey and in my case i enjoy to spearfish. I get great pleasure our hunting down the prized fish and shooting it for the only purpose of eating.
Money for wildlife, forests and parks.

hunting is a game thats very addictive . the better you get at it the more you want to be testing you skills out . first i couldnt shoot a cow and now i can hit a matchstick , therefor im always in a need to test my self out , and if you succeed its extremely rewarding . once this big crow or a eagle dont remember used to come and take my baby chickens lol , they were in our backyard and everyday it would happen so when i found out about it i shot the damn thing from faaaaaaaar away . when it feel i knew it was dead because i aimed right at the collarbone , and because of this i got hooked . even today my friends pay 100s of dollars on video games , all i need is a rifle , couple of bullets and ima happy guy
Its about peace and quiet and spending time in nature. Also most hunters love the fact that our money goes to conservation. Hunters donate more money to conservation then peta and green peace combined... funny isn't it haha. And for all those that say it mean, The buck I got monday was missing half his back leg (someone is a horrible shot) so I ended what would have been a long and painful death. We arent all just heartless killers.
Hunting for me means getting together with family and or friends and sharing time together in the woods in pursuit of game. Weather it means deer or small game. If we bring home meat that is great if we don't than that is OK as well. Quite often I bring more home than game. It is the memories and enjoyment.
part of it is communing with nature. part is time with friends. part is the preparation, the planning, and the practice. part is the chase, the struggle, the prize. part is taking personal responsibility for the meat i consume.
Hunting for me is about ambushing my prey and in my case i enjoy to spearfish. I get great pleasure our hunting down the prized fish and shooting it for the only purpose of eating.

What bullet weight for 300 wsm elk moose hunting 200gr or 220gr .This is a grizzly bear country .?
GlacierWolf is right on about there being sooooo many variables. But one thing is for sure!! The heavy bullet is KING!! I have been in Alaska for 40 years and there are countless numbers of opinions on hunting. All those generations of big and dangerous game hunters are not wrong.
I was guiding a guy from Texas and he had his trusty 300 Weatherby with 180gr. Barnes X. I tried to mention that he needed heavier rounds but he insisted that his world class Weatherby was enough!! He shot a grizzly 5 times. 4 were very accurate kill zone shots, but he charged us and the guy was out of ammo. I fired a single round from a 450 Marlin using a 405 grain solid bullet maxed out @ 2200fps and over 4000 ft lb. The big guy wadded up on his face in two steps. When field dressed the wounds from the 300 were ok but looked shallow. The 450 entered the neck and exited the opposite HIND quarter.
There are lots and lots of great ammo. Get some 200s for your elk or whatever you think is good for you. But please keep the 220s loaded in the rifle until you see something you want to hunt. You will have plenty of time to slip in your favorite round.
My wife carries the 338 and I like my 358 Norma. Perfect for all things in NA and easy to shoot. Accurate past 400yards and does not make a big mess of valuable meat.What bullet weight for 300 wsm elk moose hunting 200gr or 220gr .This is a grizzly bear country .?
You should try both in your rifle - see which gives a better group. If you are not a handloader - well, you are STUCK with a very short list of ammo to choose from.
The 200 will shoot flatter, move faster - moving faster means it has less time in flight for the wind to bother.
The 220 really isn't that much heavier than the 200, but, technically, you will get a bit more penetration in a close range shot, expect more drop at 400-600 than the 200.
The real issue is bullet design in this caliber, not weight. A standard 220 round nose compaired to a Nosler 200gr Partition - the Nosler would be hands down the favorite. it would cost more, but, be worth every penny. Nearly any Nosler, Hornady A-Max, Sierra GameKing, or Barnes 30cal would be better than a round nose!
Barnes bullets - most are all copper - the difference would be a longer bullet in the 220 grain that translate to less drag in flight. It would probably be a better choice in a long range shot, but, again, the difference isn't really enough to make much difference.
Best to read over the answers you get, figure out what brand ammo you can get your hands on - and then re-ask the question.
If you are comming to Alaska to hunt with this 300 WSM - you better bring your own ammo. Most stocks of new calibers and Weatherby ammo sells out about 2 weeks before the season opens. If you are using a guide service - you need to send him $$ ASAP to buy ammo for you. Used to be you could have up to 50lbs of ammo in your checked luggage - now I see TSA is taking anything remotly chemical out of my bags. Good chance ammo will be the next to go bye bye.What bullet weight for 300 wsm elk moose hunting 200gr or 220gr .This is a grizzly bear country .?
220 encroaches too much into the case. 180's would actually do almost all the time, so the 200's are an easy choice.
*200*.
The heavier 220 grainer. Actually, a .338 Magnum would not be too much here.

What's the best bow to buy for hunting?
There are dozens of bows on the market today. Anything from bargain busters to bank busters. I shoot a Reflex Excursion made by Hoyt. I chose this bow after countless visits to outdoor stores such as Gander Mountain, Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, etc. with indoor archery ranges. If you don't have any of these stores nearby, look for local archery shops. Parker makes an excellent line of bows at an affordable price but you better act now because they are increasing in price as they increase in popularity. One thing to always remember is- higher (price) is not always better. I've known guys who have spent $7-800 on a Mathews and after one season hated it. You have at least 4 months to decide so take your time and do your homework. Pick your price range and forget about the bows above it. It doesn't matter if it will draw and shoot it self if you can't afford it. Only try the bows in your price range. Shooting ones above it will only confuse things. While trying bows out, ask questions. Most of the places that sell bows have experience pro staff on hand and it is there job to help you. If they act like your are stupid or wasting their time, go elsewhere, they don't need your money anyway. Don't buy on the first try. I shot three models several time at different stores before I decided. Don't let anyone tell you what bow to buy. Shoot it and decide for your self. If you aren't happy with it you wont use it. It's kind of like a Ford, Chevy kind of thing. Everyone has their favorite but it is what fits you that counts. So take your time, have fun and happy hunting.What's the best bow to buy for hunting?
Bow-Tech or Matthews are the two top bows on the market today.
I use a Bow-Tech but I've taken a look at the new Matthews and the only reason I've passed is because my Bow-Tech is an '06 model.What's the best bow to buy for hunting?
parker bows are my fav and are actully the best bows out their i trust one and so should u
You need to find what suits you and feels right good bow shops will let you shoot different models to see what you feel most comfortable with. I had a mathews and got 2 deer with it but it was a little long for me and heavy, I have a bowtech equilizer on order now, super light and shorter axle to axle as I am only 5'4.
I've owned several including a PSE I have now It is light easy to shoot and camo color but is my opinion
With all the bows out there, your going to get a lot of people telling you to buy a Matthews. I'll tell you why, check the price of Matthews bows, they pour money into advertisement and tournaments. Well, if you buy their bow all that was worth it for them. Just like Ranger bass boats. Anyway, man go look at bows. Talk to a salesman about your length of pull, draw that you can handle, what you are going to do with it, how serious you are about bow hunting. You should be buying a bow that fits your needs and wants, not what some salesman needs to get off the shelf. Get yourself a modestly priced bow that suits you. If they start shoving you to a Matthews... hey they are real good bows, but not for a starter like yourself. That's the truth.
I like the Mathews and Bow Techs with parallel limbs and 75% or better let off. The sights ';fiber optics'; and rest ';whisker biscuit or drop away'; you choose is as important as the bow itself. Get it set up great, prolly at a pro shop, paper test it for arrow flight, and shoot straight.neutrogena

Politics aside re: hunting, but I am curious about something?
Why do people hang dead deer from their trees and garage rafters and such. I find the image disturbing in that can't-look-but-have-to way ... but I assume there must be a reason aside from some primitive need to show one's hunter/gather prowess. Very curious ... since I am living in Michigan and see A LOT of this.Politics aside re: hunting, but I am curious about something?
The draining blood answers make me laugh. Talking to a large animal studies friend with a masters degree, there is no way to drain blood from muscles unless the heart is still pumping. With cattle, that's why the hit them in the head with a bolt gun or shock em. The heart still beats but the brains is stunned and it's easier to bleed them out, by cutting the throat.
Most hunters do all the draining that can be done when the bullet blows a hole in the deer or the broadhead slices its way through. The hanging is for skin removal, then butchering or removing the meat in easy to package and further butcher the meat. In some areas where it is cold enough they can age the meat by leaving it in a cool area. This allows the meat to partially deteriorate and soften. They do the same thing with beef.
Now for the hunters out there, yes you will see additional blood coming out of the animal, but not out of the muscles in the meat you are merely draining the large arteries in neck, which you are not eating anyway... (arteries no, neck meat yes!)
-edit, Hah hah! Thanks Bass! Well you know what they say... You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make all the dumb animals drink!Politics aside re: hunting, but I am curious about something?
The main reason is so you can remove the Deers hide off of it and get the meat to cool as quickly as possible.* The other reasons are to age or cure the meat before you cut it up into steaks, chops, roasts and hamburg.*
They are ageing the meat.
Its part of the process of cleaning the carcass. They hang them to drain all the blood out.
To drain exess blood and let the carcass cool. This prevents spoilage of the meat.
sorry, jed, I hit the wrong button; your answer was really thumbs up, bro.
Draining blood (It's not sick It's for health reasons). Look at any butcher shop
Maker,, I see you got a lot of thumbs down on the blood draining reply. But,, you are absolutely right.. you cannot bleed a dead animal. Attempted bleeding of a dead deer is something people have always done.. Not realizing there is very little blood that will drain when this is done. Only a living animal will bleed. Most people hang deer to dress them out. Keep them hanging high so not to get the meat dirty when skinning.
Where I am,, in the south ofcourse... I quarter up the deer and saok it in ice cold salt water over night,, drain it all off,, and then soak it again in ice cold salt water again for another night. This will remove quite a bit of the blood that everyone is trying to bleed to start with. After the two nights of soaking ,, then the deer is cut up ,, wrapped,, and put in the freezer.
I have always wondered why people cut the throats of a dead animal to bleed it. That's just crazy,, Dead animals don't bleed.
Usually it is just that they have not yet butchered the deer. Some people like to hang a deer for a few days to ';age'; the meat and improve its flavor. This is often done with beef, too.
To drain the blood and to gut the deer. Also it may be for quartering the deer to process the meat.
In all honesty here, if it really bothers you so much, no one is forcing you to look at it. All you have to do is simply turn your head, or close your eyes.
People hang them up to skin them in order to get the meat from the carcass, and drain the blood out. It is a lot easier to do when the deer is hanging up and you are not bent over trying to move everything around in the woods.
Drain excess blood.
This is done to drain the blood and to make the dressing process more simple. Gutting and skinning are much more easy when the deer is hanging, ground skinning can be a pain and it is difficult to keep the meat clean.
I do the same with any large game, including catfish.
You dont see it in texas because of the temperature. I'm gonna assume you are up north, It is part of the meat prep process, If it is below 40 degrees you let it hang a couple days to cure the meat. Some people will tell you its about blood draining but they are wrong. Once a deer is field dressed and cleaned you wont get any more blood coming out of it. Getting the deer off the ground keeps critters from getting to it. Plus when yo do skin it you have to hang it up.
It has absolutely nothing to do with ';some primitive need to show one's hunter/gather prowess.'; Or ';Politic's'; for that matter. Are you always so cynical ? This is the HUNTING category.There is a lesson here somewhere if you choose to see it....
You have already been ';educated'; as to the practical explanation and need for such a thing to be done in order for the venison to cool out and drain so as not to spoil. If you find it so ';disturbing'; simply don't look
We are not just going to throw are meat on the ground where mice, rats, and other varmint can get at it. Would you throw a side of beef on the ground? Didn't think so. It also helps cool the animal and tenderize the meat. As far as people hanging them outside where it is visible, We certainly aren't going to hang them and let blood drip in our homes. Trust me it is not to brag, or to purposely offend......most of the time.
eek. Thank God I have never seen that while living in CA or NV! my Grandfather is an avid deer hunter in TX, and I've never seen him do that.
It has nothing to do with show.
If in doubt the reader should
attempt draining otherwise. Yes,

You have to hang the carcass to let it drain its blood.
The same way they hang beef. If you let the blood congeal
in the meat it is basically uneatable
that's just gross, you'd be hard to find a deer hanging from any English home however we have to contend with fox hunting and dog fighting which is just vile, of coarse fox hunting is supposed to be banned here but all the twa*t royals go out and do it and seem to get away with it. I cant stand any cruelty to animals it makes me mad.

Hunting for job delivering vehicles, Rv also?
I'm a 60 yr old health man looking to retire but keep driving. Would like to deliver cars, vans, etc to and from companies, manufatures, or dealers? Any help apprcated. Thank youHunting for job delivering vehicles, Rv also?
check with dan gambles r v in redding ca.Hunting for job delivering vehicles, Rv also?
Me too
most jobs delivering cars are handled by carriers, truckers, they can haul 10 cars at a time, so seldom do dealers need one car transports, and they will usually get an employee to do it, as for rvs, if you deliver trailers, they like newer vehicles, so plan on spending $45000 on a new pickup, then putting on 100,000 miles/year. The pay is ok, but the depreciation to the vehicle is great also, most rvs also come out of the Indiana area, so it would be a good place to base yourself, check into companies such as Horizon or Classic Transport, they can probably point you in the right direction

most jobs delivering cars are handled by carriers, truckers, they can haul 10 cars at a time, so seldom do dealers need one car transports, and they will usually get an employee to do it, as for rvs, if you deliver trailers, they like newer vehicles, so plan on spending $45000 on a new pickup, then putting on 100,000 miles/year. The pay is ok, but the depreciation to the vehicle is great also, most rvs also come out of the Indiana area, so it would be a good place to base yourself, check into companies such as Horizon or Classic Transport, they can probably point you in the right direction
Have you ever used a laser site when hunting game at night??? In full detail,what was it like?
What do you differently when night hunting with a laser site;than steps and actions taken during the day;compared to when you go on night hunts??? Is it easy or easier to hunt with a laser site attached to your rifle at night or is it to easy it's seems to be cheating??? What other ways of siting if game at night are there???... Thanks for all of the detailed answers... JamesHave you ever used a laser site when hunting game at night??? In full detail,what was it like?
okay let me start by qualify my authority on this subject matter. In addition to deer, elk, turkeys, bear, and so on I hunt with hounds and run a trap line. Hound hunting is my thing. It is what I do. When I am not running my pack I am reading about it, or resting up to go back out. You get the idea. Here in Oregon we are legally allowed to hunt cats and coons after dark with artificial light. Pursuit season opens Nov 15 and the whole thing is over March 15. I become nocturnal all winter long. It gets dark early and stays dark longer. The point is I have harvested hundreds of animals in pitch darkness. The best gun for what I do is a .22 rifle with a scope. A friend put a laser on his .223 and the problem is when you shine your light at the target to acquire its position you can't see the lazer. When you turn light off can't see target. Get it. Put a nice scope with excellent eye relief and good popped up mounts so WHEN you fall walking through the bs in the dark it still shoots strait. Then if you still think the laser is cool bolt one to the side of your all ready perfect set up.Have you ever used a laser site when hunting game at night??? In full detail,what was it like?
Actually, Laser sights are not a good idea. The animal you are hunting will be able to see the laser. It is much more easy for the animal to detect you when using a device like this.
You are giving the animal a better chance of getting away.
A laser sight is not very good for military use either. The enemy only need to follow the laser back to you to find you.
A laser is best used on a hand gun. No need to aim just look for the dot.
They are right about lasers not being good for night hunting and varmint control. I set up my son when he was a teen for killing barn rats in our hay barn. I attached a small Mag light with a red lens under the barrel of a Ruger 10/22 with a wide view fixed 4 power scope. Every one he shot were head shots. Worked like a charm. Most animals are not spooked from a red light also you don鈥檛 want the light too bright, just enough to see the animal and surroundings clearly.
Laser sights are best left to air soft guns and video games.
In my state hunting with laser projecting on target is illegal.
you said it , its cheating

What does hunting mean to you?
I have a article in the paper due today so need to know what some of you guys think about the hunting experience, or just hunting in general.What does hunting mean to you?
i love to hunt i didn't do much tell a tree hugger got mad and told me how wrong it was and i called them over for a bbq and then told them it was bambi and i get all i can now and i told a peta if she walked out in the field in her deer out fit i would mont her head on my wall it gives us good old boys and ladys a chance to have a good timeWhat does hunting mean to you?
Hunting is the practice of pursuing living animals for food, recreation, or trade. In present-day use, the term refers to lawful hunting, as distinguished from poaching, which is the killing, trapping or capture of the hunted species contrary to applicable law. The species which are hunted are referred to as game and are usually mammals and migratory or non-migratory game birds.
Hunting can also involve the elimination of vermin, as a means of pest control to prevent diseases caused by overpopulation. Hunting advocates state that hunting can be a necessary component of modern wildlife management, for example to help maintain a population of healthy animals within an environment's ecological carrying capacity when natural checks such as predators are absent. However, a 2006 study by Penn State's Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics indicated that reducing the game animal population in small areas may lead to higher tick densities, resulting in more tick-borne infections in rodents leading to a high prevalence of tick-borne encephalitis and creating a tick hot-spot. In the United States, wildlife managers are frequently part of hunting regulatory and licensing bodies, where they help to set rules on the number, manner and conditions in which game may be hunted.
The pursuit, capture and release, or capture for food of fish is called fishing, which is not commonly categorized as a form of hunting. Trapping is also usually considered a separate activity. Neither is it considered hunting to pursue animals without intent to kill them, as in wildlife photography or birdwatching. The practice of hunting for plants or mushrooms is a colloquial term for foraging or gathering.
I am not a hunter and couldn't kill a deer or anything like it. However ,hunting has its place, and that is to keep the herds in check. We have killed off all the natural predictors and the deer population is exploding here. There is nothing worse than to see starving deer in the winter due to over population.
hunting is a game thats very addictive . the better you get at it the more you want to be testing you skills out . first i couldnt shoot a cow and now i can hit a matchstick , therefor im always in a need to test my self out , and if you succeed its extremely rewarding . once this big crow or a eagle dont remember used to come and take my baby chickens lol , they were in our backyard and everyday it would happen so when i found out about it i shot the damn thing from faaaaaaaar away . when it feel i knew it was dead because i aimed right at the collarbone , and because of this i got hooked . even today my friends pay 100s of dollars on video games , all i need is a rifle , couple of bullets and ima happy guy
Its about peace and quiet and spending time in nature. Also most hunters love the fact that our money goes to conservation. Hunters donate more money to conservation then peta and green peace combined... funny isn't it haha. And for all those that say it mean, The buck I got monday was missing half his back leg (someone is a horrible shot) so I ended what would have been a long and painful death. We arent all just heartless killers.
Hunting for me means getting together with family and or friends and sharing time together in the woods in pursuit of game. Weather it means deer or small game. If we bring home meat that is great if we don't than that is OK as well. Quite often I bring more home than game. It is the memories and enjoyment.
part of it is communing with nature. part is time with friends. part is the preparation, the planning, and the practice. part is the chase, the struggle, the prize. part is taking personal responsibility for the meat i consume.
Hunting for me is about ambushing my prey and in my case i enjoy to spearfish. I get great pleasure our hunting down the prized fish and shooting it for the only purpose of eating.
Money for wildlife, forests and parks.

What bullet weight for 300 wsm elk moose hunting 200gr or 220gr .This is a grizzly bear country .?
GlacierWolf is right on about there being sooooo many variables. But one thing is for sure!! The heavy bullet is KING!! I have been in Alaska for 40 years and there are countless numbers of opinions on hunting. All those generations of big and dangerous game hunters are not wrong.
I was guiding a guy from Texas and he had his trusty 300 Weatherby with 180gr. Barnes X. I tried to mention that he needed heavier rounds but he insisted that his world class Weatherby was enough!! He shot a grizzly 5 times. 4 were very accurate kill zone shots, but he charged us and the guy was out of ammo. I fired a single round from a 450 Marlin using a 405 grain solid bullet maxed out @ 2200fps and over 4000 ft lb. The big guy wadded up on his face in two steps. When field dressed the wounds from the 300 were ok but looked shallow. The 450 entered the neck and exited the opposite HIND quarter.
There are lots and lots of great ammo. Get some 200s for your elk or whatever you think is good for you. But please keep the 220s loaded in the rifle until you see something you want to hunt. You will have plenty of time to slip in your favorite round.
My wife carries the 338 and I like my 358 Norma. Perfect for all things in NA and easy to shoot. Accurate past 400yards and does not make a big mess of valuable meat.What bullet weight for 300 wsm elk moose hunting 200gr or 220gr .This is a grizzly bear country .?
You should try both in your rifle - see which gives a better group. If you are not a handloader - well, you are STUCK with a very short list of ammo to choose from.
The 200 will shoot flatter, move faster - moving faster means it has less time in flight for the wind to bother.
The 220 really isn't that much heavier than the 200, but, technically, you will get a bit more penetration in a close range shot, expect more drop at 400-600 than the 200.
The real issue is bullet design in this caliber, not weight. A standard 220 round nose compaired to a Nosler 200gr Partition - the Nosler would be hands down the favorite. it would cost more, but, be worth every penny. Nearly any Nosler, Hornady A-Max, Sierra GameKing, or Barnes 30cal would be better than a round nose!
Barnes bullets - most are all copper - the difference would be a longer bullet in the 220 grain that translate to less drag in flight. It would probably be a better choice in a long range shot, but, again, the difference isn't really enough to make much difference.
Best to read over the answers you get, figure out what brand ammo you can get your hands on - and then re-ask the question.
If you are comming to Alaska to hunt with this 300 WSM - you better bring your own ammo. Most stocks of new calibers and Weatherby ammo sells out about 2 weeks before the season opens. If you are using a guide service - you need to send him $$ ASAP to buy ammo for you. Used to be you could have up to 50lbs of ammo in your checked luggage - now I see TSA is taking anything remotly chemical out of my bags. Good chance ammo will be the next to go bye bye.What bullet weight for 300 wsm elk moose hunting 200gr or 220gr .This is a grizzly bear country .?
220 encroaches too much into the case. 180's would actually do almost all the time, so the 200's are an easy choice.
*200*.
The heavier 220 grainer. Actually, a .338 Magnum would not be too much here.

What's the best bow to buy for hunting?
There are dozens of bows on the market today. Anything from bargain busters to bank busters. I shoot a Reflex Excursion made by Hoyt. I chose this bow after countless visits to outdoor stores such as Gander Mountain, Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, etc. with indoor archery ranges. If you don't have any of these stores nearby, look for local archery shops. Parker makes an excellent line of bows at an affordable price but you better act now because they are increasing in price as they increase in popularity. One thing to always remember is- higher (price) is not always better. I've known guys who have spent $7-800 on a Mathews and after one season hated it. You have at least 4 months to decide so take your time and do your homework. Pick your price range and forget about the bows above it. It doesn't matter if it will draw and shoot it self if you can't afford it. Only try the bows in your price range. Shooting ones above it will only confuse things. While trying bows out, ask questions. Most of the places that sell bows have experience pro staff on hand and it is there job to help you. If they act like your are stupid or wasting their time, go elsewhere, they don't need your money anyway. Don't buy on the first try. I shot three models several time at different stores before I decided. Don't let anyone tell you what bow to buy. Shoot it and decide for your self. If you aren't happy with it you wont use it. It's kind of like a Ford, Chevy kind of thing. Everyone has their favorite but it is what fits you that counts. So take your time, have fun and happy hunting.What's the best bow to buy for hunting?
Bow-Tech or Matthews are the two top bows on the market today.
I use a Bow-Tech but I've taken a look at the new Matthews and the only reason I've passed is because my Bow-Tech is an '06 model.What's the best bow to buy for hunting?
parker bows are my fav and are actully the best bows out their i trust one and so should u
You need to find what suits you and feels right good bow shops will let you shoot different models to see what you feel most comfortable with. I had a mathews and got 2 deer with it but it was a little long for me and heavy, I have a bowtech equilizer on order now, super light and shorter axle to axle as I am only 5'4.
I've owned several including a PSE I have now It is light easy to shoot and camo color but is my opinion
With all the bows out there, your going to get a lot of people telling you to buy a Matthews. I'll tell you why, check the price of Matthews bows, they pour money into advertisement and tournaments. Well, if you buy their bow all that was worth it for them. Just like Ranger bass boats. Anyway, man go look at bows. Talk to a salesman about your length of pull, draw that you can handle, what you are going to do with it, how serious you are about bow hunting. You should be buying a bow that fits your needs and wants, not what some salesman needs to get off the shelf. Get yourself a modestly priced bow that suits you. If they start shoving you to a Matthews... hey they are real good bows, but not for a starter like yourself. That's the truth.
I like the Mathews and Bow Techs with parallel limbs and 75% or better let off. The sights ';fiber optics'; and rest ';whisker biscuit or drop away'; you choose is as important as the bow itself. Get it set up great, prolly at a pro shop, paper test it for arrow flight, and shoot straight.

House hunting in London advice?
Looking for a flat for 4 of us to rent... We really wanted this flat the other day, but they ended up giving it to someone else. Now we have a couple of leads for promising looking places in better locations.. but they don't come on the market for a few days. Now the guy says we can have the original one. It may not be the best... but flat hunting in London is a nightmarish cut throat business, would be nice to have it sorted.. dunno what to do.House hunting in London advice?
Go for the first flat; if you liked it then there's no reason not to go for it. You could carry on looking for months and months and I presume you have to be out of your existing property soon? Unless you can stall the first one until you have looked at the other properties; you're not bound to it until you have signed your agreement and given your deposit.House hunting in London advice?

Does anybody on here do any deer hunting or is it just me?
Fresh venison for supper tonight!Does anybody on here do any deer hunting or is it just me?
Your not alone,Im in Tx on a 22K ranch,, they are everywhere. The rut has not started yet.
I also like back straps %26amp; graveyDoes anybody on here do any deer hunting or is it just me?
My hubby does and has started taking my oldest daughter.
Having venison meatloaf tonight. Ready for some roasts though, I'm all out.
Ugh, people really irritate me. If we didn't MURDER these animals we'd be even more over run than what we are now and be far more collisions with deer too. Lame...
my husband does, bagged two this year so far. Deer chili, mmmm! And just caught that your a fellow Tennessean too, go Titans!
EDIT: I'm with you lilbit- people would change their tune if they crashed their car into a deer or saw a deer starving to death in the winter.
We do, but as I found out, these people think hunting is cruel and illegal or something. I asked once if I should go huntin or answer more questions and I got a list of insults. We didn't get a deer last weekend.
Every season. I enjoy bow season the most, but the gun season can get pretty exciting too. Just being out in the woods is all the enjoyment I need... dropping a nice buck is just a plus.
I have never gone hunting myself, but my cousin's husband did one time. Fresh venison is yum. My aunt cooked with tomatoes %26amp; onions.
I used too but area became over developed
mark k
Just you, I don't eat meat, but if that's your thing, go right ahead, but stay off my property!
Yes, my sister even cut off a dear head with a chainsaw.
I'll take a good back strap over T-bone anyday.
I hunt, a ton of people do
no
stop!
just you
I don't, I know a lot of people who do. Where I live it seems like every man here hunts:)
it's just you
I'd never murder!
In response to Lilbit's remark: If you think deer should be like that, could you think humans could be murdered for the reason we'd be overrun with humans and there are collisions with humans? Ahah, I don't think so... So why would humans be any more worthy of life than harmless deer?
You are a sick, sick man. What kind of horrible person would shoot a poor. innocent creature for fun? What did the poor thing ever do to you? NOTHING. All those deer did was look beautiful and majestic, so stop being so cruel and find a different hobby.
I love hunting, I can peg a rabbit from miles away.
I don't eat what I kill though..
I think you're disgusting.
awww thats cruel.
Your not alone,Im in Tx on a 22K ranch,, they are everywhere. The rut has not started yet.
I also like back straps %26amp; graveyDoes anybody on here do any deer hunting or is it just me?
My hubby does and has started taking my oldest daughter.
Having venison meatloaf tonight. Ready for some roasts though, I'm all out.
Ugh, people really irritate me. If we didn't MURDER these animals we'd be even more over run than what we are now and be far more collisions with deer too. Lame...
my husband does, bagged two this year so far. Deer chili, mmmm! And just caught that your a fellow Tennessean too, go Titans!
EDIT: I'm with you lilbit- people would change their tune if they crashed their car into a deer or saw a deer starving to death in the winter.
We do, but as I found out, these people think hunting is cruel and illegal or something. I asked once if I should go huntin or answer more questions and I got a list of insults. We didn't get a deer last weekend.
Every season. I enjoy bow season the most, but the gun season can get pretty exciting too. Just being out in the woods is all the enjoyment I need... dropping a nice buck is just a plus.
I have never gone hunting myself, but my cousin's husband did one time. Fresh venison is yum. My aunt cooked with tomatoes %26amp; onions.
I used too but area became over developed
mark k
Just you, I don't eat meat, but if that's your thing, go right ahead, but stay off my property!
Yes, my sister even cut off a dear head with a chainsaw.
I'll take a good back strap over T-bone anyday.
I hunt, a ton of people do
no
stop!
just you
I don't, I know a lot of people who do. Where I live it seems like every man here hunts:)
it's just you

When to use a grunt call while hunting?
I hunt in northern alabama, the deer where i hunt are not as dominant and large as the ones in the northern states, i have seen bucks but i have never used any type of calls to bring them in or get there attention, im hoping someone can give me advice on using a call and if ';blind calling'; is a good idea When to use a grunt call while hunting?
use a grunt call for getting a buck you already see to move into position for a shot. Your bucks may or may not be as large as some others but there are still dominant and submissive bucks within your herd. I do ';blind call'; but at the risk of educating deer I don't plan on killing
Hope this is what you were looking for

What kind of pellet is best for hunting small game with the Crosman Storm XT?
%26gt;%26gt;Crosman Storm XT - best pellet for hunting%26lt;%26lt;
I agree with almost everything ';Ben'; had to say, except the part about RWS Superpoint %26amp; Beeman Crow-Magnum not being accurate, they are very accurate pellets in the right rifle.
JSB Predators do have widely varied results(accuracy)
RWS Superdome, JSB Exacts, %26amp; Crosman Premiers are great pellets for the $$
Beeman pellets are among the very best.
';Generally'; speaking, domed pellets are the best for hunting purposes.
There is no way to give you a specific pellet that will work best the only thing you can do is try good quality pellets until you find the one your rifle prefers(accuracy)
What you can do is start in the right area, and that would be, that rifles in the power range are going to prefer pellets that weigh ';around'; 8.0gr.
Sample packs are a great way to go, but since you're looking specifically for a hunting pellet. Crosman Premier Domed Lights(7.9gr) %26amp; RWS Superdomes(8.3gr) would be a good place to start looking.
What kind of pellet is best for hunting small game with the Crosman Storm XT?
the ones that are the most accurate in the gun! accuracy is everything when it comes to airgun hunting! some pellets worth checking out are rws super domes, jsb exacts, beeman fts, and crossman premiers! straightshooters.com has pellet sampler packages for sale, so you can try out some different pellets and see which work best in your gun ! for close range, i like rws super h point and beeman crow magnums, but they lose accuracy beyond 15yrds! some people rave about the jsb predators, but i think the skirts bend to easy and lose accuracy because of it! hope this helps!

Job hunting with a face piercing?
I really want my lower lip labret pierced. At the moment I'm not working and in a bit of a dilema - get it done, I've been out of work a while and could have been pierced and healed in that time.
But what if a job comes up. Have you ever attended an interview with a facial piercing in? I've heard of a friend of a friend who went to a job interview job with a few in.
I'm not at all corporate looking and want a career in a creative profession.Job hunting with a face piercing?
If you want a career in a creative profession, they often don't care what you look like.
But seeing as you have no job now, you'll probably need to find something to tide you over until a good job comes along. And its the crap jobs that often care more about appearance, theres no need to make it any harder for yourself, when there are plenty of people competeing for one job.
You could see about having it pierced with a quartz retainer. But that's still a problem with food and children.
I'd probably just wait until you got a good job, and get something less noticeable pierced in the meantime.Job hunting with a face piercing?
i have a few piercings to and do think its fair that they dont take people on cause of it, a guy i know had to shave his head (wouldn do that for any1).
anywayz just go for it, unless you wanna take them out, dont have to let them close up, could you not put them in when your not working?
good luck it will work out, x
i have gone to a job interview with facial piercings on and the people there looked at how well i was at the job and my social skills. they actually looked past my piercings and i was very surprised. it would depend on the type of job interview that your going to as well.
With the way the ecconomy is getting messed up these days - why make it any harder to get a job ? Wait until you have a job, then think about piercing.
the more facial piercing , the more chance you'll get the job if you apply as a piercer.

Can you have and Order of Protection put against you and still have hunting rights in the state of Illinois?
You need to check with your local Police or Sheriffs Department to be sure...
Most Court issued Protection orders are granted due to threats or results of accusations or proof of Domestic Assault or Violence. Unless the protection order has been adjudicated (Trial completed and there is an actual court disposition/finding (guilt or not guilty) Hunting or mere ';posession'; of ANY firearm is ILLEGAL. Technically in many states (Illinois too)a Domestic Order of Protection gives the Police the right to temporarily confiscate a suspects weapons/firearms until the case is heard in court..After trial they will either be returned or destroyed based on the judges ruling.....Can you have and Order of Protection put against you and still have hunting rights in the state of Illinois?
Hmmm.... it depends on what you plan on hunting.
I agree with checking with your local law enforcement or maybe your attorney can give you good advice, after all, if you screw up, you'll be chatting with him anyway. :)
Also, at least in my State, hunting PRIVILEGES can be revoked if you are behind in child support payments, not just for felonies.
My suggestion would be to leave whoever wants you to leave them alone. The FPO will expire, they will move on and so will you... then go hunting! No person is worth losing your privileges over!Can you have and Order of Protection put against you and still have hunting rights in the state of Illinois?
Absolutely, The only way that they can take away hunting rights in Illinois is if you have a felony on you record.
it depends on how the orde of protection is written. With new laws in place, frequently a ';broilerplate'; order of protection will be enough to prevent firearms ownership...I guess he could still bow hunt...
but the best bet is to....CALL A LAWYER

Tree Huggers all hate hunting but doesnt hunting really go along with what they stand for,, right?
Please no jackasses and/or treehuggers..Tree Huggers all hate hunting but doesnt hunting really go along with what they stand for,, right?
You got it. If it were not for hunters and fishermen who started the conservation movement over a hundred years ago there would be a lot fewer trees for the modern one to hug.Tree Huggers all hate hunting but doesnt hunting really go along with what they stand for,, right?
How can hunting go along with what they stand for, when they usually don鈥檛 know what they stand for?
Tree huggers like bunny huggers have good intentions usually but just don鈥檛 have the education and knowledge on the subject their fighting for. Driving a steel spike in a tree has killed and maimed people at saw mills and it didn鈥檛 save the tree.
I hugged a tree yesterday; it was a huge Sitka spruce tree about 500 years old and deader than hell from spruce bark beetles. That one tree had over 4 cords of firewood in it and was over 6 feet wide at the stump. When I find old dead trees like that I wonder why the tree huggers don鈥檛 invest money or time in reducing these beetles that are devastating forests. Guess its easier to just spike the tree or more fun to camp out in its branches to try to stop a logger. Hunting organizations plant trees and do invest money to maintain healthy habitats. I guess that shows who puts their money where their mouth is.
You would think that they would understand that hunting helps with conservation and keeping the animals in that given area healthy. If animals over populate an area, then the area and the animals would suffer greatly- the land would do horribly, diseases more common, confrontations with people would be worse, etc....
** Hunting and conservation has and will ALWAYS be intertwined. Without one, you can NOT have the other. **
And some of them tree-huggers try to say that hunting makes animals go extinct- that's not hunting- that's poaching. Hunters take only what we need, nothing more, nothing less. Poachers will take all they want, and they don't have a care in the world.
I like treehuggers,they give the chain saw something soft to bite into to line up the cuts. Actually hunters do more physically and financially for the environment than most treehugger groups could possibly do buy a huge margin,and we as hunters make that choice. We pay for wilderness programs,game management,habitat reclamation and preservation,through fees and taxes on what we do. Very few tax dollars from the average citizen actually go to these programs. Most hunters are very low impact to the environment,are concerned with not just game animals but habitat conservation and making things better.The hunting section isn't out protesting,but if we ever did watch out,because hunters are the real 'Silent Majority'; when it comes to numbers. Yes,treehuggers make news now and then because they act childishly,some actually have good intent,but most don't have the background and technical or experience based information to do what hunters have to every time in the field.
Back when I was in college we called them ';Granolas';
In Germany, when the Green Party was getting started, some of the more conservative-minded politicians would point out that ';The Green tree has Red roots.'; That was shorthand for saying that environmentalists are, quite often, Marxist socialists. And let's not forget that hunting is the most commonly cited reason for we Americans to own firearms. Abolish hunting, and that will make civilian disarmament easier. Look to Formerly Great Britain for an example of this.
Disarmament is slavery.
Look at the two choices for us human meat eaters.
Option 1: A hunter kills an animal that has lived free and roamed around in nature all it's life, eating natural foods and living it's life as nature or God intended.
Option 2: An animal that lives it's whole life on a factory farm, most often in overcrowded conditions where it can't move freely, living in it's own waste much of the time, and fed with stuff made by chemical companies, is slaughtered by people who don't care at all about the comfort and well-being of the animal beyond making sure it'll be good meat to sell.
To me, hunting is by far the most ethical choice.
I unfortunatly went to college with a high percentage of treehuggers or Crunchies. Here is the break down:
The only one of them that really care is a core group of dyke lesbian types that don't fully understand what they are protesting but they think it would be cool to screw the world over the way their idiot hippie parents did.
Then you have the hotter chicks that are looking for a place to belong.
Followed by all of the guys in the movement, they see hot chicks and think, ';Well hell if it is going to get me laid I will protest for anything';.
And there you have the whole treehugger movement in a nutshell. Sometimes Lesbians are not awsome and look what it can lead to.
Not really. Hunters are conservationists. Tree-huggers aren't for protecting the environment, they just don't want anybody to have any use from it, except in whatever their approved way might be. The very concept of a tree that's dying of old age and needs to be cut is not part of their thinking.
I'm a gun toting lover of all. I believe we need to protect our resources. I also believe that hunting and fishing is good. My problem is with those folks that kill for just the ';sport'; of it. If you already have that 200 lb white marlin hanging on the wall and you ate the meat, you do not need to kill another one just to hang on the wall.
There are times that controlled hunts to protect a species is good, but just for the kill is not right in my book.
I will keep on hunting, fishing and loving the outdoors. I also photograph a lot of my game. I hang the photo and they just continue for another day.
Most tree huggers make no logical sense in their beliefs anyway. It's bad for a logger to cut down a tree but they'll drive metal spikes in a tree that still kill it and may possibly kill the workers too.
Valuing human life less than wood. Makes no sense to me.
Hunters and fisherman do more to help the enviroment than most tofu eating, tree hugging dirt people do. Hunters and fishermen pay for licenses, which goes to fund state conservation projects. Animal rights and enviromental protests do nothing to help fund real conservation.
im a hunter and i am a tree huger
let me put it this way if the forests are destroyed there will be no hunting because if there are no trees there will be no habitat for the animals and the animals will move out and/or die off.
i assuming you're alluding to the ';renewable resources'; angle...
they might counter that if you kill the animal, it can't reproduce anymore, whereas seeds are plentiful.
solution: only kill new mother animals. :-D
yah you have to look at the organizations. Ones like ducks unlimted or phesants forever are busy RE introducing species back into there old territorys.
All peta ever does is spend money on hate adds and pet euthinasia
I'm a hunter and I consider myself an environmentalist, conservationist and a protector of wildlife and wild land.
Who cares about them?
yeah, it shows how stupid and ignorant they are.

What are your views on seal hunting?
There is a great seal hunt that occurs in canada where baby seals are hacked to death with clubs then dragged across the ice with hooks sometimes still alive, whilst their mother's watch. If mothers are murdered, the offspring are left on their own, and are more or less instantly issued with a death sentence. The seal hunters then skin them to make 'fashionable' (!) fur coats. The other side of this arguement is that the hunters need to make a living. I, personally am appalled at the way in which these animals are savagely slaughtered. THEY ARE INTELLIGENT ANIMALS. The mother's love for their pups is much like a human's. (imagine watching your child murdered then the carcasses tossed to one side like litter, where you are left with them to mourn) What is your view on all this?What are your views on seal hunting?
It sickens me.What are your views on seal hunting?
Did you ever think that perhaps the seal hunters don't enjoy their JOB did you ever think that thats the only way they can support their family?
Its barbaric needs to be out lawed
its a terrible act. especially since artificial furs are so good now that they look and feel like the real thing.
Well I never eat seal before or ever though of them are any other animals as more than just dumb animals. So if humans want to hunt them legal or not is OK by me, I could care less. Why is it that a lot of people care for other animals but could care less about the starving earthlings suffering because of the lack of money, it just don't make a bit of different to me, heck kill all the seal and then move on to some other unwanted animal and someday they will get to the stupidest animal on earth humans.
Seal hunting is fine as long as you are a walrus or a whale or some other type of wildlife that eats seals. Wearing fur is sick.
It's called ';culling'; %26amp; it is barbaric %26amp; disgusting.
The cullers themselves should be axed with a pick axe instead of these poor defenceless creatures.
How can these people sleep at night?
People who wear fur deserve to have pots of paint thrown over them (or pints of blood). Ugly people!!
Should be stopped, maybe we should hunt the seal hunters and give them the same treatment
it is a friggin disgrace too, and anyone who takes part in that sort of an existence, should themselves be clubbed, and skinned, and their skin turned into wind protectors for the baby seals.
bloody low-lifes
no comment.. if seal likes like beef.. can we hunt them!?
I completely agree with you, this is something that has to be stopped. By the way, look at what happens to cats and dogs in China, that's just as bad as what happens to these poor seals. I'd never wear any fur clothes and I've been boycotting China as far as possible. Maybe I should do the same with Canadian products.
i think whats really terrible is that many people are so shallow, they can only comprehend the suffering of cute and fluffy animals. i bet you eat hamburgers and dont think twice about....and if you think that's less savage just because it's a more mass murder, do your research.

What are some excellent waterfowl hunting guns?
mostly duck huntingWhat are some excellent waterfowl hunting guns?
12 gauge full choke 30-32 inch barell,, marlin at one time had a goose gun bolt action 3 inch mag, with a 36 inch barell.. i owned it for a short time k boom,, and ooooocccccchhh,, ok thanksWhat are some excellent waterfowl hunting guns?
Hey eddie, I had kind of a fetish for those old bolt goose guns. Got two right now, the Marlin Goose gun, 12 gauge, bolt action, full choke, 36'; barrel, and the Marlin Super Goose gun, 10 gauge, bolt action, full choke, 36'; barrel. Those things are a hoot. For serious duck hunting however, I like either the Benelli Nova pump, or the Remington 870 Super Mag. Get a synthetic stock, and at least 3'; chamber, I prefer 3 1/2';, though the bigger shells really aren't all that necessary. I prefer pumps, because auto's tend to hang up when it starts getting really nasty. The muddier, rainier, snowier, the windier, the colder, the better.
Benelli Super Black Eagle 2, Nova. Remington 11-87, 870, SP-10. Browning BPS and Gold series.
Myself I use a camera. sorry.
Can't go wrong with a 12ga. 3'; Mossberg 500 or Remington 870.

If you want to start bow hunting wut bow do you buy and where would you hunt and when and what would you hunt.
You haven't stated where you are or intend to go bow hunting, so, hard to help you.
My suggestion is to find a quality archery shop and ';pick their brains';, also contact your local or state fish %26amp; wildlife dept, ask for current rules %26amp; regulations for bow hunting, seasons are different everywhere and where to hunt etc, varies greatly YOU MUST LEARN about these, or fines will astonish you (jail time too!) DON'T listen to just anyone, get your info from correct sources. Bet if you type ';bow hunting'; in a search engine you're going to be amazed!If you want to start bow hunting wut bow do you buy and where would you hunt and when and what would you hunt.
Most any good bow will do. I would recommend hunting Turkeys, where: in Mississippi, When: Now.If you want to start bow hunting wut bow do you buy and where would you hunt and when and what would you hunt.
I would use a Hoyt Turbotec and hunt deer
I dont know how much you have to spend or how serious you want to be but I have really enjoyed my Matthews Swichback. It is one of the top of the line hunting bows. If you want something a little cheaper, you might want to check out Parker, or even Hoyt has a few bows that are reasonable. As far as begining hunting with it I am not familiar with the area but if you have wild hogs they are good to start out with or if you want to start off with something difficult you can try deer. You can also buy blunt tips for your arrows for small game such as rabbits. Have fun.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE. If you are just starting, turkey is the LAST thing you want to hunt. Turkey hunting with a bow is among the most challenging hunt in the USA.
You should hunt whitetailed deer. They are all over the south. Go to an archery store. DO NOT TRY TO DO THIS ONLINE. You need to be measured for draw length and think about draw weight. If you are just hunting whitetails and hogs, keep it 50-60lbs. Buy some GOLD TIP Expidition carbon arrows appropriate for your bow and draw length. Put a mechanical broadhead on it. That may not be very traditional, but it will help with accuracy until you improve.
GOOD LUCK!neutrogena

What do you think about hunting?
Is it right or wrong?
Kind of curious. :)What do you think about hunting?
Hunting absolutely has a purpose, and therefore is not ';wrong.'; BUT, what is your purpose? Most states have a hunting season with the design to clear out an overgrown population that would otherwise starve to death due to lack of space and food. In this instance, hunting is beneficial to sustain a strong population. Plus, it benefits the hunter with meat and other byproducts. However, if your purpose for hunting is for pure fun or to make profit off of certain animal parts while discarding the rest (e.g. tusks), how is this beneficial to anyone or anything? We must be good stewards of what God has given us, and not purposely destroy His creation without reason.What do you think about hunting?
hunting, unless its for survival, is WRONG.
if ur stranded in the forest, you ran out of protein bars, go ahead, hunt, just dont kill more than your going to eat.
do u think god created animals just for us to kill them for fun? we put a helpless animal through hours of chasing and hiding just for us to shoot them, take a picture, and leave? what if giants came out of the sky and started shooting us down?
hunting is NOT A SPORT. its evil. just think about it. what right do we have to kill God's creature. they have just as much right to live as we do.
most people will say they like it but i say no because just think.if u kill a doe then you might be taking away a baby's mother. or if you kill any of them i think it is pretty cruel unless you seriosly need it. and then everyone says ';oh well i do need it for meat.'; well there is plenty of meat in the world besides dear. so please dont do it.
Hunting is a sport, however I don't think you should kill anything you aren't going to eat (that is, assuming you didn't shoot it in self defense)

Does eye dominance matter when hunting?
I am right handed, but left eye dominant. Will I miss my target everytime if I shoot right handed? What if a close my left eye while shooting right handed? Will having a scope on the gun make any difference? I have a right handed gun, so I would prefer to shoot that way if possible.Does eye dominance matter when hunting?
I can shoot either left or right handed, prefer right though. Always shot with one eye closed.Does eye dominance matter when hunting?
If you are right handed and shoot right handed, be sure to use your right eye. As long as you sight in properly, you should be ok hitting your target. You should get an eye patch for your left eye. I don't recommend closing it 'cause then if affects your vision for a bit when you open it.
no.
lead lead lead.
shoot skeet or trap....
best way to learn.............
one eye or two................
you got to lead......................
no
Yes it does, I am left eye dominant so I shoot my handguns left-handed (though I need to qualify with my off hand..rh...for my permit), my rifles left-handed and my Bow-Tech is also a lefty. Would you like to here something funny, Hockey left handed, Gulf, right handed.
I am left eye dominant and shoot right handed. It is more of a problem if you are shooting open sights. Closing the left eye will strain the right eye. I haven't noticed the problem with scoped rifles. It might depend on the degree of dominance.
I was still able to qualify with M-16 open sights in the army, so just practice and become proficient with any weapon you shoot.
depends on what you are shooting at and with.
Use a scope and you should be fine. You can also use an aperture sight and close your left eye, but this may be a bit more unnatural for you. Using standard open sights with your left eye closed will be most frustrating.
You shouldn't have any problems with a scope
get a lever action and try shooting left handed and right handed. See which one groups best. Then make your personal choose
You shouldnt have any problems, especially with a scope. Its hard to practice your shots for hunting. The paper doesnt walk yanno? But the best way to be sure your aim and shot are true is practice.... lots. You must already have range time, no?

What type of bow for hunting and target should i get?
i'm 14 5'10 and pretty built for my age so pick a bow fit for a young adultWhat type of bow for hunting and target should i get?
You'll need to get your drawlength measure, so like the above poster said, find a good archery shop. Not big 5 or sportmart, a real archery store. The folks at big 5 don't even know the difference between carbon arrows and fiberglass ones.
The question should start with do you want a compound, recurve or longbow. Compounds are easier to shoot and more stores carry them in stock, actually I've never been to an archery store in the US that doesn't have a wall full of compounds. Longbows and wooden recurves come in second place in terms of ease to find. With metal recurves way at the bottom of the list.
So, find a store, hopefully it has a knowledgeable clerk that will walk you through the process of finding your perfect bow. Also as the above poster said, don't spend all your money on the bow. If you go the longbow route then you still have to buy arrows. If you go the compound route, there are tons of stuff you still need to buy, rest, stabilizer, release, sight.
To start with, find something you can easily pull. You can get away with more poundage if you go the compound route, but if you go recurve/longbow, start light.
Archerdude, that's good to know...never been to MN. It's quite surprising that an archery store can survive without compound.What type of bow for hunting and target should i get?
Check out the HOYT BRAND BOWS.*
bowtech is a really good bow...its awesome..i got one
check it out
http://www.bowtecharchery.com/
For a target, a Block (or one many other brands' copies) is hard to beat...
The kind of bow that will effectively send arrows to the target. :-P
Seriously, though, the choice is up to what you are comfortable with. Don't think that just because you're a ';beefy'; fella that you can automatically handle a heavy-weight bow. There are a lot of ';strong-man'; types who can handle only 35 lbs....and it's best to start out that light so you can learn good habits and proper form. Form affects accuracy, and accuracy affects whether you hit anything at all -- let alone what you aim at.
Make sure you get some good, quality, made-for-your-bow-AND- yourself arrows. Without good quality, matched arrows even the ';best bow in the Universe'; is just another bow. Get the best arrows you can afford.
As has been said, go to an ARCHERY shop, not the ';Big-Box'; stores; Wal-Mart and Sportsman's Warehouse want to sell what ';looks good';, and not necessarily what you really need. The rest has been pretty much covered...
By the way, targetbutt....you obviously have never been to The Footed Shaft in Rochester, MN; there are no compounds in Lamont's shop. :-)
Go to a bow shop and shoot several bows. There will be a couple that you really like, choose the one that fits you (and your pocket) the best...also don't forget that you may need to spend a little more setting it up the way you want, so don't spend all your money on the bow
Hope this helps, and if I can help anymore, just let me know

Whats the best type of hunting without a gun?
Bow hunting! without a doubt!
I told my buddy if you ever kill a deer with a bow you'll never go back to gun hunting.
He did his first year (with me) and now he is hooked
IT';S AWSOME!Whats the best type of hunting without a gun?
Bow %26amp; Arrow.* No ifs, ands or buts.*Whats the best type of hunting without a gun?
Bow hunting is the awsomest! there is nothing like killing your first deer with a bow! no joke! try it and youll never go back... hunting pigs with knifes are real fun to!
That's personal. It's like a choice between strawberry or vanilla. Do what you like. Consider small game. Sling shots are tough...I mean the real ones. The other type of sling shot isn't bad, but the real ones are more deadly.
Hunting women!
Bow
The most common would be archery.
You could also try a slingshot for rabbits and squirrels.
Bow no question.
hog hunting use a knife
Archery! without a doubt
I second hunting females.... young and happy ones ..... who dont talk too much... :)
Bow hunting
North American Archery Elk, the greatest hunting in the world!
besides bow i have heard of going hog hunting with a knife that seems pretty exciting...the dogs will corner it and then you do your thing...but if you go bow hunting and kill a deer with your bow....you feel like a sniper when rifle season rolls around
Bow hunting.
I have done both.
Bow hunting is the most intense and demanding forms of hunting.
Due to the fact you must be within 20-25 yds ( I would never release at a distance greater than 20-22 yds) of your target,you are forced to learn so much more about your intended prey.You must start hunting LONG before opening season....Learning as much about the intended animal species as you can,searching out the hunting area for sign and travel habits etc.....Bow hunting forces you to be a much better hunter than hunting with rifle.
And then there is learning about your equipment,practise and technique.It goes on and on.
It is never drudgery though.Even the practise is a great way to spend a few hours.
I currently use a rifle when hunting.I just do not have the time bow hunting requires.And I feel it would be unethical to botch a shot and cause a inhumane kill due to my lack of time devoted to practice.
Ever camera hunt?
The stalk is there, and there's no bag limit
or closed seasons.
Great practice for the real thing.
hunting with out a gun do not exist.but you can do a god hunting with a god dog and a god camera,and get beautiful pitchers.go to south Dakota for beautiful pheasants.

Is a 20 or 22 gauge shotgun good for turkey hunting for a 13 year old boy?
A 20 gauge turkey load will work fine. Just make sure he lets the turkey get in a little closer than he would with a 12 gauge before he takes the shot. I've never heard of a 22 gauge but if it does exist I'd say it'll work too if it's offered in a turkey load. It would be so close to a 20 gauge I don't know how you'd be able to tell the difference.Is a 20 or 22 gauge shotgun good for turkey hunting for a 13 year old boy?
20 ga. is perfect as long as he can handle the kick. There is no 22 ga. shotguns. You CAN buy .22 long rifle shotshells for snakes, rats, %26amp; mice. You don't need 3'; 0r 3-1/2'; shells to start. The 2-1/2~2-3/4'; shells have killed millions of turkey over the years. Hardest part about turkey hunting is camoflageing and setting real still.Is a 20 or 22 gauge shotgun good for turkey hunting for a 13 year old boy?
Yeah, 20 gauge is good for a 13 year old to use for hunting turkeys. I havea friend who got his first turkey when he was 12, and he was using a 20 gauge.
well first theirs no such a thing as a 22 gage the gages are 10,12 16,28,20,and 410 i have heard of a 8 gage i did some research and it was a muzzle loading shot gun used back in the day as for a kid and shot gun i would use a 12 gage with a good buffer for his shoulder but i would stick with 2 3/4 shells hell i hate to shoot 3 inch mags and 3 and 1/2 forget it to much for me
I would use a 20 gauge. I was handling a 20 gauge shotgun when I was around 8 years old. Just be sure to take the boy to a hunters safety class. He needs to learn the safe operation of a gun wether it is a shotgun or rifle.
20 guage wouldn't be too hard on your boy. But one thing you should consider is how limited your choice of shot is going to be. Most sporting goods stores stock the most selection with 12 guage and .410. 20s, 16s, 10s, etc., don't sell as well, so they stock less selection.
As a 10 year old girl, I was shooting a .20 gauge; my younger brother killed his first turkey with a .20 gauge at 8 yrs. old %26amp; his 1st deer at 9 yrs old with the same gun. So to answer your question, a .20 gauge works well on turkeys.
I think you are doing the right thing by making sure your son can handle both himself and the .20 gauge before stepping it up to a .12 gauge. You'll know when he's ready. Each kid/person learns and advances at their own pace when it comes to firearms and hunting. My 9 yr old daughter is inheriting my .410 next yr, she has a .22 now, and hasn't shot much more than small game, but the smile on that kid's face just being out in the woods with her dad, granddad, cousins, and I would light up the world. Let him enjoy %26amp; Good luck!!!
A twenty will work, but he'll have to let the Tom get in close. If you can find a 22 bore, it's an antique and probably shouldn't be shot at all, but may have some collector's value.
First off a 22ga does not exist, and second, this 13 yea old sissy needs to grow a pair and start using a 12ga. 20ga are for women, my brothers and I have been shooting twelve gauges since we were 8.
I think you mean 28 gauge. The 20 would be the way to go. The 28 will cost you more up front and to shoot and really for a 13 year old a 20 should not be a problem. I was duck hunting with an over-sized 12 when I was that age and recoil was not a problem and I was on the light side. The main thing is to get a gun that fits and learn proper shooting form, most recoil problems are from poor fitting guns or because people don't now how to hold the gun properly.
Get an auto-loader (Rem 1100 for example) with a good recoil pad (buy an aftermarket if you need to - LimbSaver). Start out with light loads and learn proper shooting form. In turkey hunting you are normally sitting, practice shooting this way. Learn to relax and roll with the recoil. If you are all tight and stiff it's going to hurt.
Smaller people with proper technique can handle as much if not more recoil than large people.

It should work good on a turkey or a 13 year old boy.
