Are wii hunting games better with the zapper or with the nyko perfect shot?

the nyko perfect shot no doubt. I have tried it with both and there is no comparison. The nyko feels so much more natural and fluent.Are wii hunting games better with the zapper or with the nyko perfect shot?
What is wrong with you people. You can't hunt a bear with a wii remote. You gotta go out there with the real guns and blow real heads off of real animals. The crack of their skulls is satisfying. Trust me, stop wasting your time on your wii. Go hunt some deer and cook yourself a delicious dinner.Are wii hunting games better with the zapper or with the nyko perfect shot?
to me, they work better with the nyko perfect shot. i do not like the wii zapper, as it is bulkier, and can hurt your hand.
nyko perfect shot, its so perfect,lol, my cuz has a zapper and the wii remote always falls offf

What is the best broadhead to use for coyote hunting? Mechanical or not? Grain? Brand?

I have a PSE Impala recurve bow with a 50lb draw.What is the best broadhead to use for coyote hunting? Mechanical or not? Grain? Brand?
Shooting a recurve is a lot different than shooting a compound, and arrow flight is a basically the same, just slower.


A 100 grain fixed blade would be my choice, depending on your arrows.


I have tried mechanical type broadheads, and don't care for them.


Go with your preference of 2 blade with bleeder blade, or 4 blade.


EIther will work, it will depend on your own personal preference and what your style likes the most.


Good Luck!What is the best broadhead to use for coyote hunting? Mechanical or not? Grain? Brand?
It depends, you should go to your local bow shop.





I shoot a carbon arrow with a long draw鈥o I use a heavy broad-head to balance things out. If you have a shorter draw, and are using aluminum arrows, I would go with a lighter head. Just what grain depends on brand, and local selection.





mechanical ?





I am of the school of thought, if it ain鈥檛 broke... don鈥檛 fix it. I use a fixed head and know it will always be open when I need it. If you trust the mechanical heads鈥reat. I do not.





Mechanical will give you better long rage accuracy.
There is no best broadhead. Use whatever you would use for deer. It is personal preference.

Help is there hunting deer in california?

i am having an argument with my boyfriend. is there deer roaming all around california? i say that if there are deer, they are only in national parks or in the mountains. he says they are everywhere. i told him there is no hunting deer there %26amp; he says there is. please tell me the truth.Help is there hunting deer in california?
There are deer but not much deer hunting. Come to wisconsin, half as many deer as people lol. and everyone hunts, its great.Help is there hunting deer in california?
Yes there are both deer all over California and a season for hunting them.





More specifically there are Blacktail deer and Mule deer.





The only places you can't hunt deer are within city limits or designated federal or state game preserves.





I'm not sure where you got the idea that deer only inhabit parks and mountains. They don't exactly carry maps and compasses to make sure that's where they are. I've seen news footage of deer walking through LA. Deer will live anywhere that there is food for them including city parks, suburban neighborhoods and backyards.





Maybe your boyfriend needs to drive you out of the city so you will really know what's out there.
Neither one of you are correct.





There are deer in Cali. But, in general they are neither roaming around urban sprawls or confined solely to parks.





They are there, and in abundance. But like all wild animals they find safety and comfort away from people.
There is deer hunting all over CA, some places are better than other places. You can hunt deer on private, BLM and Forest serrvice land, as long as you have a deer tag for that area
reality is i live in nor cal and the only deer around are way out in national forest land or scronny ones on private property. either get to know someone who has acres in the foothills or go to oregon, colorado, or idaho

If Obama's Czar Holdren Gets His Way And Hunting Is Illegal?

How many people will be murdered by wild animals? How many car accidents will be caused by deer, and other animals running into the streets? If we don't control animal population, it will be devistating! Obama's nutty Science Czar want's no more hunting, what I don't get is what does that have to do with science?If Obama's Czar Holdren Gets His Way And Hunting Is Illegal?
The guy is an idiot, I like the part where he thinks animals should have lawyers. I'd like to see that bill.


Bark Bark...If Obama's Czar Holdren Gets His Way And Hunting Is Illegal?
Wow. Talk about grasping for straws.





First off, who has EVER spoken of making hunting illegal?





Second, people already ARE ';murdered'; by wild animals - it's just a rare happening. For that matter, it happens because people either wander too far into ';wild'; territory or because animals are running out of game to hunt for themselves. Nature will balance itself and you can still hunt.





Third - have you EVER driven down ANY road, anywhere, EVER? Wild animals are hit all the time. Yesterday, while going to the gym, I saw a raccoon that had been run over. Today, while walking my dog, there was a possum. Sometimes - just sometimes! - I even see a dead deer on the side of the highway.





Quite personally, I'm MUCH more afraid of your brand of ignorance and far-reaching conspiracy theory than I am of the lie you're trying to spread.





Jeeebus talk about desperate.





Edit: While we're on the subject, I have no problem with hunting if you actually intend to eat your target. If you're going to kill it just for the sake of having a head mounted on your wall, then you're just sick.
It has nothing to do with science and everything to do with gun laws and control.





Although, you can see how well protecting underbrush in California works (rolls eyes).





Love the name btw...





New Jersey has been protecting undevelopable wetlands for years now, and even to this day, have been spending millions to preserve land that even in the good times, was unappealing to developers.





They're just tax dollars though, right?
The animals will be permitted to have attorneys - so I guess you can sue them if they cause an accident or unprovoked attack. You'd probably have to take the judgement ';out of their hide';.





(I can't even believe I'm answering this question - what has this country come to when idiots like Holdren have high positions in government)
There are a goodly number of very good and very thoughtful people who don't think hunting is a good idea. There are also quite a few folks who disagree with them. However, being a jerk like you are with this question, all you do is piss people off and you don't resolve a god damn thing.
Ty, I can tell you have never lived in Pennsylvania or upstate NY during the spring if you don't think deers running into cars on highways is not a serious danger. The thinning of a herd during hunting season is absolutely crucial in some places in America.





As for the libs wanting to take a way our guns and outlaw hunting, all I can say is we all know if they had a way that they thought they could accomplish it they'd do it in a heart beat. Fortunately the tradition (not to mention that pesky 2nd amendment...lol) of gun ownership and hunting is too well ingrained in much of American society to ever be taken away...that saying about you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead fingers comes to mind.
They must disarm us before they can put us at their mercy.





The insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan are proving once again that an armed and determined population, with the home turf advantage, can effectively resist a modern military force, and at times even threaten it.





Obama has continued these wars to see for himself if it's true. It is.





So now Obama knows that he must disarm us.
Obama's government just gave you the right to carry guns in national parks.





This is a fact, and one which has already occurred.





What you are engaging in, is pure speculation, and future speculation at that. I could speculate that the flying monkeys from 'The Wizard of Oz' are going to fly right out of Dick Cheney's hindquarters, but that does not mean it is going to happen, now, does it?
If this is true, what I don't get is why is hunting for food being targeted and farm produced meat is not. Are pigs and cows and chickens going to be protected from being eaten? I wonder how they go about choosing which ones live and which ones it's ok to slaughter.
I'm a conservative and think this is a stupid question, how many raccoons will take over neighborhoods? come on bro, seriously? I do agree Holdren is a tool though.
is this a real argument??? how many people will be murdered by animals? lol, get a clue.





dude, hunting is never going to be illegal.
Absolutely. Monty Python's Holy Grail was quite prophetic. We may soon be inundated by killer rabbits if we don't stand up for our hunting rights!
Not sure but I do agree with your name: Liberals do Destroy Farm Land.





I was raised on a farm and they may mean well but their decisions are fraught with unintended consequences .
Holdren will be the FIRST casualty
You and I both know hunting is not going to become illegal. Just an obvious scare tactic.
Many species will go extinct.
Actually what do any of his Czars know about anything?
Then those Dem pansies will try to outlaw eating meat.
none of that is important, its going to make things worse for obama,





Look its heading straight for us!

Hypothetically what would you do if you had a hunting accident??

It was an accident but if you shot him how would the police was murder or accident??


Should i try cover my footsteps? Only his on-off girlfriend knows where he was?Hypothetically what would you do if you had a hunting accident??
Call the cops, call an ambulance, and while waiting for both the cops and ambulance, call a lawyer. Then tell the cops that you will talk to them after you talk to your attorney.





Immediately lawyering up might look bad, but it is better to have a lawyer handy if you look in any way guilty of anything more than stupidity.





If you've already shot the guy, it is to late to make it look good. And now, you've asked this question, if the guy has a hunting accident with you, you can bet the cops will look into your computer use and find it and they will nail your *** for the murder you are planning at the moment.





My advise is: 1 - don't go hunting with the fellow who's girlfriend you are banging. 2 - dump the girl, no amount of nookie is worth prison or the needle.





And one more thing, guilty or innocent, if you try to ';cover your footsteps,'; you are going to make yourself look guilty. And if you look guilty, you will be prosecuted and you might even get convicted, even if you didn't kill the guy accidentally on purpose.





docHypothetically what would you do if you had a hunting accident??
just get smoochin the on-off girlfriend! Then dont tell anyone. Bury the body or else leave in the wilderness so the bears can ate him! hope i help ya.
tell the truth and pray that the cops don't frame you

    Are hunting licenses needed to hunt on one's own land?

    I'm talking about NC and VA


    I'm talking about deer, turkey


    Does one need a license and need to follow seasons to hunt on one's own land?


    Does this vary by state?


    Are hunting licenses needed to hunt on one's own land?
    In NC, if you are a land owner you do not need to purchase a hunting license to hunt on your own land, but you still need to follow all game rules and bag limits. You can only hunt and trap during the delegated seasons.





    VA is the same.





    This does vary by state. Here in WI, you have to purchase a license no matter what, unless you are active military on leave.Are hunting licenses needed to hunt on one's own land?
    It varies by state, but in almost all cases the answer is YES YOU NEED A LICENSE, especially deer and turkey





    In ALL states, waterfowl hunters MUST have a federal migratory bird stamp.





    Some states you can hunt small game and other animals on your own property without a license, but again, varies by state





    You can always kill a nusance animal, but you better cover your butt by reporting the problem to the game warden at least once first. So if a deer is eating your prize cucumbers, call, then shoot.





    See, just because the animal is on your property NOW doesn't mean it is YOUR animal. Animals don't read maps and know no property bounds.





    Besides, animals need a lot of different habitat to live. It might need your land to find a mate in, a neighbor's land a few miles away to winter in, a neighbor's lake a little ways down the road for water, and the cornfield in the valley for food in the fall, and the oak grove for food in the summer and the alfalfa pasture that Farmer Bob keeps his prize milk cows on for food during the spring.





    Remove any one of those important parcles of land, and the deer cannot survive. Hence each person is considered a 'part owner' of the deer. That's why the state steps in and for everyone organizes things...even if it is a deer on your land.





    The only exception to this would be if you fenced your land off totally with fencing that has been proven to be inpenetrable to that kind of game animal, then purchased some game animals and put them in your fenced off area. You'd then have a defacto 'game preserve' or 'hunting preserve'
    I don't think you do. I know some states require you to submit but you can hunt all year round and there are different regulations but its more expensive then a regular license. I look at it this way though, if its your land and your being sportsman like and not just shooting game and letting it lay and using it for food, Go Hunting. Game Wardens are more concerned with the State Game Lands, and there just isn't enough persons to cover the area so Im sure they won't bother you on your own land. If they did, well they would be tresspassing, and I have a nice big sign entering the gate to our Mountain it says, '; Lethal Force Will Be Used On Any and All Tresspassers, Enter At Your Own Risk';, That will keep em out!

    You are REQUIRED to follow all state game laws regardless of whether or not you are hunting on your own property with or without a license.


    Being ';sportsman like'; doesn not make it LEGAL.


    Game Wardens are just as concerned about the game laws being adhered to on private land as on state land. I know dozens of cases where Game Warden's issued citations on private property. My own brother-in-law was one. He lost his gun and hunting rights (for a time) hunting wild turkey out of season on private GATED ( locked) property.


    They have every right to enter your land to enforce the game laws and they don't need your permission to do so, and they won't be tresspassing and having a ';nice big sign'; won't stop them, and it certainly does NOT make it legal to use ';Lethal Force'; on ANY tresspassers let alone a law enforcement officer. Following Johnny's advice could, at the very least have you losing your hunting PRIVILEDGE (not a right), your gun, possibly your vehicle and even your house, and at the very worse doing SERIOUS FELONY PRISON TIME FOR MURDER or even getting yourself KILLED. POLICE ARE ALLOWED TO SHOOT BACK AT STUPID PEOPLE SHOOTING AT THEM!!!!



    I grew up in NC and at that time a landowner could hunt on his own land with out purchasing a license. I am not sure what the laws are now. Contact your local fish and game license; they will be happy to help. I know now it does vary by state, Where I live now, everyone must buy a license.
    Not sure about you're state. But in Florida, you have to have a license and follow the seasons for both deer and turkey. There is one exception to this rule, if the deer is a nuisance. If you want to hunt on you'r own land in NC you should go for wild boar.
    It depends on the area in which you live and what you plan on hunting. In Alabama, you can hunt most game without a license if you own the land or someone in your immediate family owns the land.
    Yes, it can vary by state but in New England you don't need a hunting license to hunt on your own land but you do need to stay in season when hunting game animals like deer or turkey or else it'll be poaching.
    We own our own land and in Lousiania YES you do have to be licenesed to hunt your own property. In your state call wildlife fishiers and they can tell you.
    no you dont,, some states require that you live there as a primary resident as in resident license,,,,, ok tu eddie
    It all depends on the State you live in.*

    What is the best rifle for coyote and deer hunting?

    i have been looking for the best rifle for coyote hunting but can also be used as a deer rifle. thanks to anyone who answersWhat is the best rifle for coyote and deer hunting?
    IMO a 30-06 or .270 is going to be your best bet for deer and yotes. I shoot a Remington 700 .270 with a Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15X40 which is a perfect deer and yote setup for me.What is the best rifle for coyote and deer hunting?
    I'd go for .243 Winchester caliber, essentially a smaller bullet in a ';necked down'; .308 shell casing. Shoots flatter. Less drop at a distance, makes scope adjustments easier. If you had more experience, I'd say .308 Winchester. If you want more power, the .270 Winchester Short Magnum is one sick round, very high velocity. More power than the .308 Winchester. I have tried it, but don't own it (yet) I have owned .308's and presently a .243. I like compact, short action rifles. If you didn't want a deer rifle, I'd also suggest .22-250 Remington, another high velocity round.
    A .308 will be good for both game. .308s are a very popular round for deer. As long as you can properly place a shot, you won't have to worry about the deer getting away. .308s pack a lot of power. They can be used to hunt boar, elk, black bear and moose at close range.





    Coyotes only need a .223 to be taken down. But since you can't eat the meat, overkill isn't an issue, unless you're saving the pelts. If you're not, a .308 will work wonderfully. It's basically a guaranteed kill- assuming you know where to shoot.
    If your budget can stand around $1200, the Kimber 84 in 257 Roberts would be close to ideal for what you're looking for. Great varmint caliber that'll do for deer, and better than the smaller bores. The only company I can think of that chambers the quarter Bob routinely is Ruger, if you're on a more restricted budget.


    Having been down that route and compared them over the past few decades, I've decided that if people really paid attention to this cartridge, there wouldn't be more than a few dozen 243's/6mm's sold in any given year. The old boy just has that little bit extra, and it's very friendly to handloaders.
    Any rifle chambered in the .243 win. would do just great. you can buy 55 grain bullets for coyotes and 100 grain for deer. and the small hole it makes, makes it perfect for varmints to save the pelts. remington m700


    is a great rifle. or if you live in the states and prefer the semi auto, panther arms or any ar style rifles are fast enough for varmints and rugged enough for deer. but the .243 is a great cartridge for both deer and coyotes
    My first centerfire rifle was a Remington Model 7400 .243, my dad bought it for my 12th birthday. I killed my first deer with it. This rifle is unbelievably accurate for an autoloader, it likes the Federal Premium 85gr. Barnes TSX. It has served me very well in the field for 28 years. It now belongs to my 9 year old son, he shoots it with with extreme confidence, he killed his first deer this past season. The point is the .243 Win. in an awesome caliber, you do not need anything more for ANY deer, black bear, antelope or coyotes. I believe in it so much that I bought myself another .243 Win, a Remington Model 700 VLS. Spend some time behind it and it will not let you down. When the moment of truth arrives, with a well placed shot, your deer will drop as though lightning hit him. .243 Win is an amazing round. Light recoil and tremendous energy at long ranges. I once argued with my uncle about how much better the .30's were, but did not realize until later how ignorant and arrogant I was. But, I was young and did not know any better. You should know that Hornady makes a Light Magnum 100gr round that will take deer with the minimum 1000 ft lbs of energy at over 400 yards, close to 450. Let us all take a realistic account, not many will take shots over 300. The .243 can do it, if you can do your part. I say you will kill more deer at greater ranges because it shoots way flatter, it is a more inherently accurate round and more importantly has plenty of energy. The .243 load above is 6.4 inches low at 300, with a 200 zero. Yes, the .243 Win does a fine job on varmints, but that only speaks of its overall flexibility and capability. Bigger holes do not always mean a dead deer. I have seen more deer carry a .30-06 than any other caliber, because everyone has one. And not everyone who has one can shoot it well enough to do the job.
    Definitely the .243 caliber. It is considered the ';triple threat'; (small game, big game, and competition) of rifle rounds. Just adjust for what you are going to use for by picking the appropriate bullet weight.
    A rifle chambered in .270 or .308 would be fine......





    The .270 shoots a little flatter but the .308 can be had in bulk cheaper if you plan on target shooting a bit.....





    http://www.6mmbr.com/308Win.html





    Consider a Remington 700 SPS......





    http://www.remington.com/products/firear鈥?/a>
    Best rifle or best caliber? I'd go with a Remington 700 BDL chambered in .270, excellent ballistics for long range shooting without the recoil of a magnum. Great for deer hunting. You can kill coyotes with just about anything.
    Marlin XL7 .270 with Bushnel 3x9-50 scope.
    .243,264,270 or great choices. A 30-06 is too if you find those 55gr accelerator bullets or just use regular bullets,,but, 30-06 is overkill for yotes.
    308 will be your best choice but good optics will be needed to the coyote is smaller than the deer and will be more weary than the deer so a longer shot may need to be taken.
    30-06 you can get 55 gr accelerator for coyotes and 150 gr for deer.
    my truck has taken more deer and coyotes than any rifle i have
    either the .243 or the 25-06 are great for both animales.
    For both a 30-06 is your best choice.

    What is a good compound bow for deer hunting?

    Buy a used one at your local archery shop that they took on a trade in. This way you will save money, and the shop can make sure it fits you,(draw length and draw weight ) and sell you the accessories that go with it that you may need. Plus, they will let you shoot the bow to see if you like it. Good luck!What is a good compound bow for deer hunting?
    Ive been bow hunting for 5 years and have bought 3 used bows all for under 150 each. I know alot of people will disagree with me but i have never had any problems with them. I can shoot a tighter grouping from 30 yards with my $130 darton compound than four of my buddies with brand new mathews bows. I figure unless your doing it for competitions and tournaments any thing over $250 for used bows your just paying for the name. I have done side by side comparisons with an $800 mathews and my $150 Oneida and found the cheap one just felt much better. Your bow has to fit you perfectly if you want to be consistent. You need to pick it up and pull it back and think ';wow, that's comfy.'; As for the draw weight, my bows are all set at 60lbs. some guys will tell ya its got be 70 or 80 but unless you have a 90% let off at full draw, good luck. I believe the legal draw for my state is 35lbs. That's what my girlfriends is set at and she took her first deer at 40 yards last year with a full pass through. Overall, get what feels good to you. Shoot it at the store at least 20 times to get a feel for it. And dont overlook the used bows.
    I too have a PSE Nova. Mine is set at 52 pounds with a 27'; draw. I am a leftie, I bought mine used, had it tuned at an outfitters, I have a whisker biscuit arrow rest, Alpine 5 arrow quiver and a tru-glo 3 pin sight and a carrying case, all for less than $400.00.


    My husband has a PSE Vengeance. This is a parallel limb bow. 7 1/2 risers, single cam. 65 pound draw weight with a 30'; draw length. He too has the whisker biscuit with a 4 pin tru-glo sight, and a 7 arrow Alpine quiver.He uses a Tru-fire caliber release He uses 32'; Carbon Express 60-70 arrows at about $5.00 each. I use the 50-60 Carbon Express, I think mine are 29';, they cost just a bit less. I use a tru-fire stalker custom release.





    All of these things can be found at Cabela's except the Vengeance, PSE doesn't make that now any longer.


    Here's a picture of one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Bow-PSE-Vengeance-RH鈥?/a>



    all the different numbers (draw weight, distance, etc.) are going to depend on you, your size, and your strength...





    once you know what you're comfortable with... your best bet is a used bow... in your price range, of course. Your best bet is going to be eBay... I bought a competition target shooting bow for 850, and although that may sound steep, keep in mind I got about 2300 bucks worth of accesories for almost a third the cost!!!
    i have a pse nova set at 65lbs with 30 inch draw and am very happy with it! cost me less than 500 with all accessories new! check out pawn shops or see if your archery shop might have used bows. smaller compact bows are better to manuever in tight spaces, like tree stands. 45lbs or better is what i recommend for deer, thats the min requirement in my state. hope this helps. bear, pse, mathews, browning all good brands
    You might wanna take a look at livenyx.com. It is a blog on archery and I think there is a store where you can look at its merchandise. Should have what you are looking for at a lower price.

    Have you tried using calls %26gt; e.g . wounded rabbit etc??

    Cottontail distress, Jackrabbit distress, wounded woodpecker, coyote pups... All are good methods however you'll have the best luck when using an electronic call. www.gofoxpro.com





    If using mouth calls: Call for 30 minutes call in two minute sequences starting with quiet calling to attract any close ones and work it up to a loud distress. With electronic calls like the one I linked you'll just use the remote controller about 50 yards from where you sit and click play.
    distress calls work best this time of year. set up somewhere you have a good view because when using distress call 95 percent of time they will try to get down wind of you to check things out. use howler in the springtime now it will spook them more often than not
    I had great luck using a wounded cotton tail rabbit call. I use a Primos brand call. I usualy call for 2 min. and wait 3 min. till I start calling agian.After about 15-20 minutes, I move on to a new spot. Just make sure you spot them before they spot you. Remember, you're hunting a hunter.

    I'm hunting for a new job. How will my chances be affected by saying I'm going travelling for 3months next Sep?

I work in the Travel industry at what would be described as middle management level...I'm hunting for a new job. How will my chances be affected by saying I'm going travelling for 3months next Sep?
    Either look for a long term temp position, or stick it out at your current company. No new company is going to be thrilled to hear that you'll be leaving just as you've reached a point of competency in training. Also, no company is under any obligation to hold a job open for you when you return from your travels. You'll just be starting your job search over again when you return from your trip.

    IT-Job Hunting in Europe, where do I go and what do I do?

    Hi





    Im a south-african male aged 32, and am in the IT profession. I am set on moving to europe (no specific country yet) and thus need a solid job.





    As already stated i am an IT specialist. Where do i go from here? Are there websites to help? What would be the best course of action?





    ThanksIT-Job Hunting in Europe, where do I go and what do I do?
    It will not be easy.





    First of all you will need a working visa. To get that a company has to satisfy the issuing authorities that there are no suitable candidates for the job.


    Second, they then have to show that there are no suitable applicants from other EU countries.





    Considering the global recession and the high levels of unemployment in Europe at the moment, neither of the above would be feasible.





    Also a there would be a lot of unnecessary bureaucracy and cost involved for any prospective employer taking into account the amount of people qualified and suitable within the EU, for the position.IT-Job Hunting in Europe, where do I go and what do I do?

  • Is it legal to hunt small birds without a hunting license in colorado(using a 22mm rifle)?

    i just got a rifle as a christmas present,and wanted to shoot something like a bird or squirrel....is that legal in colorado with out a license?Is it legal to hunt small birds without a hunting license in colorado(using a 22mm rifle)?
    noIs it legal to hunt small birds without a hunting license in colorado(using a 22mm rifle)?
    no. birds are federally protected. you can shoot starlings because they are non-native pests however.
    22mm is a canon.
    Here is a link to the Colorado small game hunting publication:





    http://wildlife.state.co.us/NR/rdonlyres鈥?/a>





    You cannot hunt without a license, and it's a .22 Caliber, not mm.
    i hope you mean a .22 caliber not 22mm, as 22mm ammo would be beyond expensive and require a destructive device permit, not to mention there would be nothing left of whatever smaller animal you shoot at with it
    you mean .22caliber. You can hunt pest that come on your property destroying livestock as well as Starlings and such. Practice before killing. Don't kill unless you need to for food or protect your property.D
    You cannot hunt birds with a rifle. Its againt the federal migratory birds act. Also, songbirds are protected too.





    Get a license and then go after squirrels. Practice on cans and targets until you can hit something, there no reason to make an animal suffer. Also, dont go on a rampage. A dead squirrel is still a waste if you dont use it for something.





    Also, squirrel may have a season in colorado. When you get your hunting license and take your hunters safety course, you'll learn about this.
    No. Most if not all animals have hunting restriction put on by the state. The only animal I can think of that wouldn't need a tag for is rabbit but you still need a general hunting license. Pidgeons are fair game as there a pest but you can't discharge a firearm in a populated area.





    It's .22 cal. that mean hundreths of inches. But I guess your brand new to guns now. Either that or you know very little. Understandable.
    You can shoot what are considered ';outlaw'; birds. Sparrows, blackbirds, grackles, pigeons, crows. All other birds either require a license or are federally protected. Squirrels are in season but require a license.
    22MM for small game??? 22mm is an artillery piece, almost an inch in diameter much to large.





    As to colorado law the only thing that can be hunted with out a license is coyotes and then only under special conditions and on private land. (animals may be shot to protect property like livestock but that is protection not hunting) You still need a small game license to hunt sparrows.

    Teachers: Do you have any tips for job hunting?

    I'm currently working on getting my license to teach American History.





    As we all probably know, its hard to find teaching jobs; especially for subjects such as mine. Any tips on how to find the job and be hired?Teachers: Do you have any tips for job hunting?
    Find job websites for the cities and states you are looking in. In my state the department of education has a web alert in place that automatically notifies job hunters when a new position is posted.





    Beyond that, let other people know that you are looking for jobs. When I hear about an upcoming opening (often a week or more before it is officially open), I email or call all of my friends who are looking for jobs in that area. Networking can be key in finding a job.





    Good luck! If you are willing to be flexible and throw yourself out there, hopefully you will be able to find a job. Also, look for long term substitute jobs - sometimes they turn into full time gigs (like mine did!)Teachers: Do you have any tips for job hunting?
    You don't say where you live. The Southern US is hot right now--big growth. Currently, Texas, where I live, has had a teacher shortage in Math, Science and Bilingual Ed. Also, some teachers teach at the High School and then do coaching to help out. Go to other states' teacher certification sites and see what you would need someplace else. Here is Texas': http://www.sbec.state.tx.us


    Also, read up on teacher interview questions and be prepared to answer them in several interviews, plus an online


    Teacher Test by Gallup (or other such company), and criminal background check. Good luck!
    Be willing to move. There are plenty of places that need teachers. You just need to investigate where they are.

    Beagle hunting training question, please look if you are familiar with training beagles.?

    I would really like to get a beagle, and i love to hunt all game. Is it possible to train a beagle to hunt: rabbits,Pheasants, and ducks? I know that they dont do well with cold water, but i have a friend who we normally use, that can handle bad weather. But is it possible to train a beagle to hunt all those. I have lots of patciance and will try anything. ThanksBeagle hunting training question, please look if you are familiar with training beagles.?
    Rabbits and Pheasants should be okay but not so sure about the ducks. Here in Virginia, we use them for deer and they work great.Beagle hunting training question, please look if you are familiar with training beagles.?
    My three (3)* Beagles will hunt %26amp; retrieve rabbits, pheasants, grouse %26amp; woodcock.* They let me know what they are working %26amp; hunting by watching their tail.* Hunter of small game with Beagles for more years than I can count.* Good luck with the Ducks, however it is highly unlikely you will succeed pursuing them with a Beagle.* DUCKS= Labrador Retriever.*
    Beagles are natural trackers, so they are good with ground game. They were specifically developed as a breed for rabbits, and pheasants should work well also. Ducks, I don't know. Probably not so much since they are not quiet when they track. You haven't heard anything 'til you've heard a beagle on the trail of a rabbit.
    why try to change what the dog was breed for if you want a bird dog get a lab
    I've hunted rabbits with beagles for years. There's not a better dog for it. We normally will take new dogs out on hunts with experienced ones. It usually takes about a season of hunting with experienced animals for the newby to really get into the game. It's best to find a dog with good hunting parents. Sometimes it's just in their blood and they become proficient very quickly. Take them out and let them run! After a kill, always show the dogs what they accomplished. This not only is great motivation, but also lets them know that they're done running this particular rabbit, and it's time to find a new trail. The new dog will smell the rabbit and get a better idea of what's going on and recognize the scent they were following on the trail. The more this is reinforced the better it will learn what to do. Good luck
    Beagles are great rabbit dogs that's what they were bred for, none are better. I've actually had pretty good success with my beagle on pheasants, she's won't hold a point on them, but she is great at flushing them. It's kind of embarrasing if you happen to be on the field with another bird dog, she won't honor their point and just flys by them barking her head off. But if you hunt on a leash and keep her limitations in mind, you should be ok. Ducks, give it up. No chance in the world would she ever retrieve a duck. If you are primarily interested in bird hunting, go with a lab or golden retriever, much better choice.
    I own a few beagles and enjoy http://forums.huntingboards.com/ and use it as a great reference for training beagles. I have not thought about using a beagle for duck hunting. The differnce I see is duck hunting is a different type of situation than upland hunting. Duck hunting you sit and call to get the ducks to come to you. Upland hunting you go to find the spot the game is at. A beagle will sometimes retreive but it is breed to follow a scent. Beagles will go in cold water to chase game such as in hunting a swamp rabbit. A swamp rabbit will go into to water to escape and swim a pretty good ways. Pheasents or quail are to me a bonus to me when hunting with my beagle yet to some people it is a very negative to thier hunt. To each his own. If you go to http://forums.huntingboards.com/ and ask the same question you will get responses from some very good beagle trainers.

    Hunting rifle laws, where do I find them?

    My father was recently given a small hunting rifle. Does he have to register it in California?Hunting rifle laws, where do I find them?
    you do not actually have to register any gun in California. When he was given the gun, he was supposed to go through a background check/ waiting period, through an FFL, but now that he has possession of it, there are no other laws concerning having it registered.Hunting rifle laws, where do I find them?
    Check with local law enforcement - I lived there for five years and owned many firearms and I never had to register them other than the ATF paperwork when I bought them.


    Each local municipality may have it's own laws/ordinances.
    You will find those laws in the ATF publication:


    State Laws and Published Ordinances - Firearms


    call ATF for a copy

  • Is it true in California rifle hunting on public land has been banned?

    Hunting on public land deemed a national park is illegal but not on state or federally owned land in general. If this were the case I would have heard about it or someone complaining about it.





    People hunt in our national forests and that is legal. Although some areas you can't hunt or plink. Just be sure to pick up your mess. That gives the anti's a valids reason to complain, the area gets trashed. They tried to do that with an area around where I go plink.Is it true in California rifle hunting on public land has been banned?
    I'm not in California,but from the sound of it the state might have limited hunting and other access to some lands because of fire danger. With as dry as the state has been,and with the current rash of fires that is an option. There are areas around here (north Idaho,eastern Washington,western Montana) that are pretty dry too,not dry enough to limit access,but getting close.Is it true in California rifle hunting on public land has been banned?
    not as far as i have heard. public land being national forests. I have been hunting public land for years in california. you can check if certain public land is off limits with the department of fish and game. sometimes after fires than such they do close national forests to hunting.
    All people want to do is ban guns and hunting. Cause guns and hunting cause violence. WRONG!!!!!!! Guns and hunting teach discipline and proper use for guns. As far as my sources at the NRA have told me there is no ban in california.
    I am surprised all guns bb/pellet and water guns are not banned yet! Why don't the people vote out those nuts in government.
    Sorry but Cali blows.

    What is the penelty for road hunting then eluding the police?

    Depends on your state. In Texas, the police will notify the game warden. If you are caught, the game warden has the authority to confiscate your vehicle, gun, and anything else you used in the process of commiting your crime. In addition, you can be fined up to $10,000.00 per animal you shoot, and you will also have to pay a ';species replacement fee'; of up to $5000.00 per animal you shoot (fine depends on species of animal). The confiscated property is sold at auction and the money is donated to the parks and wildlife department.


    On top of all that, you can be charged with ';evading police';, ';resisting arrest';, and ';discharging a firearm from roadway';. Any of those will land you time in jail and a large fine. When you pile on all 3 charges, you won't see daylight for quite some time.


    I would think twice before road hunting, because I have an idea that other states have similiar penalties.What is the penelty for road hunting then eluding the police?
    Just don't do it, thats all you need to know. It's not a game. Don't give other hunters a bad rep.What is the penelty for road hunting then eluding the police?
    In Kansas, I know that you can loose your gun, and vehicle, and there is also a fine that goes along with it, but not sure how much it is.
    jail
    Not high enough!





    It gives all hunters a bad name. I consider it to be just as low as poaching.





    Doc
    Depends on the state you are in. Florida is hard on poachers and running just makes it worse. Anywhere from 1yr of probation,lose of your hunting license and gun up to a year in jail.

    What is the contravsory over seal hunting about?

    Most folks do not find subsistence hunting to be an issue, which is the case with most adult seals that are hunted.





    However, many people find the annual baby fur seal hunt to be appalling. The baby seals are clubbed to death to avoid damaging the pelt. The carcasses are wasted; they are not used for food. This is slaughter exclusively for fashion. It is unnecessary and inhumane, in my opinion.What is the contravsory over seal hunting about?
    It's about people killing seals just for the sake of it.


    It's not the inuit that they're blaming. Its the people who beat seals with clubs and make them bleed to death and enjoy watching them suffer. It's animal rights , and killing the seals as a ';sport'; is barbaric. People have no right to do that, especially iin a way that is so inhumane and cruel like hitting them over the head with clubs. If you google it, you'll find some imges that are utterly horrific, and then you'll figure out why.What is the contravsory over seal hunting about?
    Club sandwiches, not seals.





    They're becoming endangered because the offspring are being killed. That's the entire controversy for you.
    Animal right groups are anti-hunting. Even to the point of denying people that hunt for the food they eat. How right is it to deny the Inuit their right to hunt for food?





    Correctly spelled it is ';controversy';.
    The inhumane way in which the seals are killed. They are beathen to death with clubs that have spikes on them. Then they are skinned. Sometimes the seals aren't dead yet before the skinning. It's horrific! All in the name of fashion. The Canadian government conducts baby seal hunts annually. The Humane Society of the United States does a lot to protect them. You can visit hsus.org to learn more.

    Is a license required for seal hunting?

    Guns ruin the fur, the blood stains won't come out. Blunt-force trauma keeps the hide pristine.





    You do have to travel up north to do it. And you might need the gun for the polar bears.Is a license required for seal hunting?
    Afraid so old chap, but I hear there's no license required for drowning kittens, why don't you try a bit of that?

    Econ major, Finance minor and job hunting in my 40s?

    I'm currently in a job I hate, yet pays very well. I've went back to school to look for something else in 5-10 years. At age 45 I will have 25 years logged in to my current job. I would be eligible to draw my retirement by age 50. So at 50 I would have this pension coming to me on top of working a job I love.





    If I majored in Econ and minored in finance are there any decent jobs available for a 45 yr old with a BA in Econ/finance? Would my age be a factor on whether or not someone would be willing to hire me? I'm willing to take a paycut to find a job I love. Just not a huge paycut although pay wouldn't be as much of an issue when I reach age 50 and draw that pension.





    I know some would say to just hang on my current job until 50, but I sincerely hate it. I don't know if I can make it 5 more years in my current field.Econ major, Finance minor and job hunting in my 40s?
    There are plenty of jobs you could do with such a degree...accounting, consulting, office management, fundraising, activity coordinator, even CFO. And no, your age really would not matter, though an MBA would be much better to shoot for than a BA if you really want a top director's position.





    I worked at a corporate company for 12 years; the first three were good, the next three were ok, and the last six were pretty bad. But I kept myself going by being a freelance musician outside of work, which I loved and didn't care so much about the pay, though when it did come was a great bonus. Then when a lot of people started leaving the company, I decided I'd just put my resume out there to see what I could get and who would want me. It was amazing at how quickly the interviews came, and I had a new job within six months of trying, at a 30% pay increase from my old one, better benefits, and salaried instead of having to worry about punching a clock. Pretty much everything I wanted, except I had to give up a bunch of vacation time.





    Trust me, there are people who will hire you at better companies than the one you are at, who will give you the salary you want. All you need to do is network yourself, have a little patience, and not be afraid to try.





    At your age, people will actually be more impressed with your going back to school to better your career than concerned about your age. Good luck.Econ major, Finance minor and job hunting in my 40s?
    follow your dreams, but use some common sense. Be sure your finances are in line before making a career move. Getting your MBA will help alot too. If you will draw a pension by age 50 then why not try another line of work then knowing you'll be getting that secondary check in a few years? But as I said, make sure your finances are in line. I couldn't imagine working 25-30 or even 40 years in a job I hate. That's life lost IMO
    If you want to get a job in ECON/FIN you'll need to up the ante with a Masters Degree... A BA (especially a BA).. isn't going to cut the mustard.





    You should get a BS or BSBA and then get a Masters





    Without the MBA/Masters in Economics or Finance.. Chances are slim to find a position that will pay you what you currently make.





    I hear you on the ';hating your job'; thing. But I'd hang in there

    What do you think about fox hunting?

    Personally, I think its barbaric. Anyone who takes enjoyment out of slowly killing an animal is sick-minded.


    does anyone else get annoyed by the slogan ';fight prejudice, fight the ban';? what is that all about?


    anyway, i'd be interested in your views and anyone 'for' fox-hunting to give a good reason why.What do you think about fox hunting?
    Its horrible. The whole pest buissness is ridiculous. If they were a pest why do they need to be chased by dogs until exausted and then ripped apart. This is quite close to my heart my mother was running as a fox hunt was on and saw a fox chased. Later she saw it exhausted and dying because of it . How is that at all justifiable it is just barbaric and power hungry. '; fight prejudice fight the ban'; what a load of .. . If it was tradition to kick your dog would it be prejudice to try and stop this.





    Hunting was natural when we did it for food do people eat foxes no they kill them and show them off its nothing to do with natural instinct so there is no need for it . And the disgusting way in which they are killed is not needed. In fact none of it is needed .





    May i add- the ';fox hunting'; going on in Iraq, im from the UK i equally think that is unfair . I was not old enough to vote when Tony Blair was elected into power nor do i think the majority of the UK believed that Tony Blair would decide to lead this country into war. I for one protested against it as did a lot of people in the UK but did they listen no they did notWhat do you think about fox hunting?
    Yes, I'm with you: think it's barbaric %26amp; hate those posters, they're incorrect. It was banned democratically, most of us hate it, the hunters should just pick themselves up %26amp; get on with their lives. I live in the country %26amp; I think their arguments are complete bo***cks. If it was a group of thugs on a housing estate chasing a cat with a load of dogs, would it be legal? They should stop whingeing - times have moved on.
    I couldnt personally do it - I mean I have trouble with killing spiders and that I just cant take a life away from something that was just going about its life without hurting anyone. As for other peoples preferences - I definitely wouldnt ever oppose laws that prohibit it but Im not going to join groups trying to stop it. Yes its sad in a Bambi sort of way - but people have been hunting animals since the cavemen so its probably not going to stop.
    I understand your point of view,but feel that these decisions should be left to the experts, whilst it is possible to ban people from killing foxes how do we then stop foxes from killing chickens etc, maybe we should stop fishing, grouse shooting and seeing as that we are in the e.c maybe Bullfighting in Spain. Is horse racing cruel because horses get injured maybe we should ban that, but then people get injured boxing so lets ban that as well, and while we're at it lets ban motor sport because there are a lot of bad crashes, but there are a lot of crashes on the roads so lets ban cars, and so it goes on and on and on.
    It's hideous. I haven't heard any arguments that even come close to its justification. Some answers state that hunting is natural. This argument doesn't stand up in our society. More or less all aspects of our live are not natural. No-one in the uk hunts foxes for food, or to pevent agricultural decimation as others maintain. But its no worse than factory farming meat, overfishing of setting mousetraps.
    I am against hunting of all kinds. I believe animals should be killed humanely by farmers only. Hunting for sport is just wrong. I believe in the right to arm bears!!!! Not the right to bear arms!!!
    i supported the ban on fox hunting not because of the rights of the innocent, indigenous wildlife but because i want the scum that sit on the backs of their horses to be deprived of the pleasure they derive from it. just that. it's vindictive but i do not care.
    i love going to the bar,have a few drinks,scope out the foxes,plan my move and which pickup line i will use...............ohhhhhhhh mannnnnn..................ur not talking about the same foxes i am.......i am so sorry.........where is my head at today?
    I want to got it seems alwsome
    people like you are entitled to your opinion, just move to Canada to voice it
    I agree its disgusting %26amp; them that do it are inhuman.Yes I get angry at the stuck up self righteous aristracrates.They should lock the lot up including the royal family.
    The unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible.





    Unlike the majority of you folks I have no problem shooting a problem fox. If he has learned that lambs are easier to catch than rabbits then he can have a 223 in the chest and I won't lose any sleep over his death.





    But the whole pro and anti fox hunting argument is dishonest. On the pro side it isn't a good way of controlling foxes and it doesn't result in the death of the problem ones. On the anti side, these are wild carnivores, the eat little bunny rabbits alive as the scream for mercy, a fox will cause much more suffering to the little fluffy creatures of the countryside than an oik on a horse ever will.





    Foxes don't have any easy way out of this life, they don't go to the old fox home and blather about the near miss they once had with a combine on the back 40. They get bad teeth and starve to death, or they freeze to death in the winter, or they get hit by a car and crawl off and die some time later, or they get mixed up with a farm dog and get an infected bite that putrifies and kills them. Being chased down and murdered by a pack of idiots on horseback isn't significantly worse than that.





    But that's not what this is all about, it's a bunch of horsey people, many of who are the sort you'd most like to see fall off a horse and others who are local secretaries and car mechanics, who use this as an excuse to ride around over land they wouldn't otherwise be allowed on. As a former horse rider and mountain biker I can tell you that horses do a lot more damage to paths than mountain bikes or pedestrians. But on the other hand we have a bunch of townies that know two fifths of bugger all about where their food comes from and how it ends up on their table, their argument doesn't get beyond ';poor fluffy fox, looks just like my doggie, poor doggie'; and ';those look like rich people, I hate rich people, they should stop';.





    My friends farm in Northumberland, mixed cattle, sheep, arrable and contracting. These days it's not far above subsistance, no new cars, no posh holidays. They don't agree with fox hunting and didn't allow the hunt on their land. They also don't agree with idiots from Gosforth and Daras Hall turning up and telling them how to farm.





    So in the end I could care less about the hunting, it didn't do much to the fox population and it gave the animal rights people something to focus on that didn't involve digging up dead relatives of guinea pig breeders (what scum digs up a corpse from a grave yard) and threatening publicans children because he serves farmed game (The Cockerel, Broom, Bedfordshire - I think it was ostrich or aligator that caused the idiots to lose the plot, and the name doesn't have the last four letters, the nany editor blanks out the short form of the name).





    Hmm, barbaric, a good word for the behavior of the animals rights people too.
    I respect your opinion. I don't happen to agree with you. If you are American or British and I suspect you may be one or t'other, there is quite a bit of fox-hunting going on in IRAQ right now but they are using humans instead of foxes.
    Lets bring back wolf, and evolution will the rest.
    You know what's really stupid?


    That all you people really believe fox hunting, in the manner that you are thinking of, horses and hounds and tooting horns, is still done with any regularity. In the States there is practically no one left that does it, anyway...it pretty much sunsetted in the fifties.





    And you know what? Foxes are yet another of the critters out there that do quite well living in suburbs and in and around cities, and are among the first critters to get rabies. You know how you get rabies?


    When a carnivore over populates, rabies invariably occurs.


    When your kid has been bitten by a rabies-infested coon or fox, come cry to me about fox hunting, of any kind.
    Fox hunting should only be allowed as a sport when the fox is given a pack of hounds and given the opportunity to hunt down to exhaustion a fat oaf on a horse, then rip the b*stard apart whilst he is still alive. When this sport is an equal playing field then I will support fox hunting.





    Of course there's always the argument that they kill livestock just for pleasure (notice the hypocrisy?) and are a nuisance to farmers etc. Well that's what fox's do, so if you don't like it then get out of the countryside!!





    And my last point is that we live in a democracy and its now illegal.
    what a bunch of tree-hugging hippies!! Hunting is natural.. do it
    its legals get over it nobody ask you its our right to hunt or fish hunters are fighting back against you tree huggers you run your mouths about thing you have no ideal what your talking about what do you think would happen if there was no hunters you'd be up to your *** with sick animals are you going to pay to have there medical needs met bye the way how much have gave for wild life conservation i pay hundreds of dollars each year and hunting controls the population of different animals
    fox-hunting is for mental people, personally i think the same thing you do, BARBARIC! i mean really, killing a fox to eat its carcass is just mental, i love all animals that wont hurt me
    No easy answer I'm afraid. I have shot and fished for the table. If you eat meat I think it important that you confront the necessity of killing, provided this is done quickly and as humanely as possible. Fox control is a regretable neccesity. Gassing, poisoning and shooting all have their drawbacks. I do worry about the mentality of people who apparently relish riding after hounds-perhaps they are less sensitive to suffering and distress than most. To me, and this is perhaps a personal prejudice, fox-hunting belongs to one end of a spectrum of 'blood sports' which includes otter hunting (illegal now?), stag hunting and has at its extremes bull-fighting, badger and bear baiting which most would regard as vile, barbaric and disgusting. Serial killers often start their careers torturing and killing animals before graduating to human prey- I would therefore have serious concerns about your previous respondent.
    It is horrible. I totally agree with you.
    Fox tails sale for $10.00 a pop in Georgia and the hide is smooth pelt...not like Beaver.


    I prefer to watch it on TV
    I say that the majority of people answering this question are townies. They do realise, I hope that now hunting is banned there are going to be fewer foxes about as it's not illegal to shoot them. 9 times out of 10 the fox would escape a hunt and only the weak or sick ones would be captured. Now that they are going to be caught in the rifle sights they have NO chance of getting away.
    It should be banned! Killing any animal for support is cruel. The fox is literally torn to shreds by the hounds. It's sickening!
    It is interesting to me that the majority of well thought out opinions belong to those not against fox hunting!





    ';Chris H'; has made numerous excellent points. The summary of life in nature is that it's cruel, tough, and a constant struggle. Think off all the rabbits, mice, chickens, and game birds the fox has chased and leapt upon, biting deeply into their flesh, ripping and tearing, blood spurting, animals crying out...





    It's the same thing. Dogs, much like, lions, tigers, and wolves have often hunted in packs. The only difference is, man rides along for the conclusion of the hunt. The enjoyment is not in the slow torturous death of the fox, but in the fast paced, adrenaline packed, race of the hunt. The conclusion is the reward, it signifies triumph, and ability, months of dog training, and years of breeding, horse training and time spent for the culmination of that event. That event signifies ability, competence, and achievement.





    Is it barbaric? Uncivilised, cruel behavior not worthy of civilized (highly cultured in refinement or taste) people? Well it would be interesting to note that early hunts of this type were often for nobility as the common man could not afford the horses, and in some cases did not have the right to hunt the land. So it was the highest of scoiety that engaged in these pursuits. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting)





    So I would say no to barbarism as it is completely natural. It provides an economic boost, it provides habitat for other creatures (as much of hunting does, because it is the hunter who often pays for habitat) . (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_hunting鈥?/a>





    It may seem hurtful to those who are shielded from the realities of life. But every living thing in the world is struggling, eating somethign else. Every insect, bird, snake, lion, cow is a part of this cycle of life. To be a hunter is merely to be a part of the natural world. To be closer to life itself. Those that would deny man that innate need are to distracted by pop culture, and fuzzy wuzzy bunny attitude, that is delusional.





    It is a prejudice! People who think it's horrible, usually do not have well thought out ideas or reasons. They make decisions based on emotional impulses.





    This is prejudice! (Prejudice is, as the name implies, the process of ';pre-judging'; something. In general, it implies coming to a judgment on the subject before learning where the preponderance of the evidence actually lies, or formation of a judgement without direct or actual experience. Holding a politically unpopular view is not in itself prejudice, and not all politically popular views are free of prejudice.)

    i don't know why ppl hunt but i think country folk have problems with fox's killing their stock though i wish they would find a more humane way of eradicating them
    I agree entirely with you. How would that person like if I put them in the forest and had dogs chasing them and me shooting at them?
    Aww, poor little foxes! They are soo cute! Do people actually eat them? If they don't then that is just cruel!
    fox huntings barbaric entertainment for the rich with nothing better to do with their time. they call it sport, but if a football game was 11 against one i dont think u could really call that a fair match could u ? its sick entertainment. id like to chase them with a gun through the forest on a horse with dogs an guns.

    Yup. But depending your state's regulations, you may need to be within sight or ear shot of an adult and you will probably need to take a hunter safety course. Ain't sure cause I don't know what state your gonna be hunting in.Can i get a hunting license when im 12 and use a gun for hunting?
    It depends upon which state you live in. In the state that I live in, if you 12, you can own and possess any long gun. You can hunt anything but turkey and big game without a license if you are a resident of the state. You can hunt within sight and sound range of an adult or you can take hunter safety and hunt by your self. Deer and turkey licenses are about $15.00 each for youth.
    if your in MA your parent will have to get a license and share a gun with you

    Does anyone know what the most intelligent hunting dog is?

    The Curly Coated Retriever. Most hunting breeds are smart, but they show their intelligence in different ways. A Bloodhound is unlikely to retrieve. A retriever will not naturally follow a trail. Duck Tolling Retrievers were bred to lure in ducks, a Beagle couldn't care less about them. Hounds were bred to think for themselves and solve problems, retrieving and pointing breeds were developed to be eager to please humans. It all depends what job you want the dog to do. Find a dog that was created for that purpose and you will have the most intelligent hunting dog.Does anyone know what the most intelligent hunting dog is?
    Believe it or not, beagles are fantastic hunting dogs. If you're looking to get a hunting dog, i suggest adopting a beagle. Beagles have the highest abandon rate due to people try to buy them for indoor companions and not giving them enough exercise. They claim their too hyper and can't control them, then they end up in shelters.





    Beagles are excellent dogs, if you give them what they need. Tons of exercise and catering to their natural amazing hunting skills.Does anyone know what the most intelligent hunting dog is?
    It depends on what you want it to do. Flush game? Retrieve? Track game?





    There are lots of types of hunting dogs and each has a specific purpose. It depends on what you want it to do.
    Depends on what you are hunting and what you want the dog to do.


    For upland game birds I personally like the Weimaraners best.


    But since I own and train them I am partial to them.
    I don't know, but I know for sure it is NOT the Treeing Walker Coonhound! Mine practically passes out at the sight of blood and is terrified of loud noises. Methinks that may be why he ended up at a pound.

    Any body out there who has good hunting tips?

    i am 58 years old ... when i was 18 the Wyo, Idaho %26amp; Montana elk and deer hunts on USFS lands were extraordinary. today the hunting is better on private lands BUT the exotics: Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat %26amp; Moose are fantastic where anybody doing a little research on the internet can almost be guaranteed a self guided sheep hunt and get a Boone %26amp; Crockett sheep. if you learn to research university PHd thesis %26amp; Masters papers you can always put in for non-resident areas where if you are successful in drawing the permit you will have an 80% of getting your animal and like i said for sheep and even Montana elk %26amp; deer a Boone %26amp; Crockett rack. if i were 14 today i would 1st go to every state's internet site and find out how much it coasts for a non-resident application for elk, sheep, mountain goat, deer, antelope (easy to get an antelope license but the areas are usually crowded with hunters and the experience is not as great as elk or bighorn sheep hunts) and lastly moose ... and then start building an application fund and applying for neighboring states as well as my own state. in some states like Montana if a man gets a non-resident license for elk his son or daughter under 16 can buy an elk license without worrying about the non-res quota.Any body out there who has good hunting tips?
    try your best to stay ';down wind';.. regular human scent can ruin a hunt before you get anywhere near close to game. Try scent blocking clothes or use a urine scent.





    Aim for a kill shot... shoot ONLY when you are sure you can hit. Always aim for either the heart or a deep lung puncture. Anything else and the game might get away or survive as a lame animal. Either way, you don't get the animal.





    Always carry a secondary weapon for those unexpected moments out in the field. A pistol of some kind or a good knife.





    Take a small first aid kit with you. Stupid stuff happens when we least expect it.

  • What is your opinion on hunting?

    I would like to know everyone's opinion on hunting for sport.What is your opinion on hunting?
    I usually avoid these questions because the asker is usually set in their beliefs. However I will try to explain best I can.





    The major cause in reduction of waterfowl is not hunters its development and pollution. In the 1960s there was far more wetland areas than today. Roads, housing developments, airports, malls have removed hundreds of thousands of acres of wetland ducks need and much of what’s left is polluted. California prides itself in being eco minded and chock full of animal rights people it also the worst state for loss and pollution of wetlands.


    People love their produce and where would vegans be with out their greens? Since farmers grown those greens deer get in the fields and eat it. This creates a man made food supply that creates over population of deer. So more deer get hit by cars and more people die.





    People love their pets but domestic dogs and cats kill billions of wild birds and animals every year. These pets also create a man made food supply for coyotes. Because of this more kids are being attacked by coyotes. Also many species of small animals are being wiped out. I should add that cat dung that washes into the ocean has caused diseases that are killing seals and sea otters.





    Now I could go on and on.





    My point is what can we do to keep deer numbers I check? Cant very well turn packs of wolves loosed in urban areas, ditto for mountain lions and birth control just doesn’t work. We could hire government hunters to kill them. Or have hunters kill them, use the meat and use the money from hunting to help wildlife agencies.


    As for the ducks, hunters have organized groups like Ducks Unlimited that spends millions on wetland habitat protection and clean up.


    As for the varmints like coyotes, varmint hunters keep their numbers down.





    Remember the Hurricane Katrina? Remember the dirt dikes that failed? Well they found burrowing rodents dug into these earth dams and dikes making them weak which caused their failure. So many people drowned and thousands of homes were destroyed because little furry animals weakened the earthen dams and dikes.





    Nature works great with out man but add roads, cities, airports, farms, malls “civilization” then it goes out of whack. So we have two choices remove all of civilization or manage wildlife. And to manage wild life includes killing some and protecting others.





    Say you like sheep and can’t stand the idea of them being killed. Well if sales of wool and mutton (sheep meat) were banned would farmers raise them? Nope. So now sheep become an endangered species because no one will raise them other than zoos and they can’t survive in the wild alone because the predators would wipe them out. So there went domesticated sheep because some wanted to “protect” them.


    A similar thing goes for wild game, the funding from hunters help pay to keep healthy populations and the hunters following laws keep their numbers in check.





    Wildlife management is complex you would have to go to college for a few years to understand it. So a person who has no education in this field is not qualified to make decisions that affect it. Yet we have millions of people who get all emotional over the furry cute animals and demand things that are actually harmful to animals. They wouldn’t dream of telling the astronauts how to fly the space shuttle but they vote for laws that can harm animals with out realizing it.





    I think hunting is vital for animals and man. I enjoy hunting to feed my family with clean meat that has no chemicals of hormones. Man has hunted from the dawn of man. Its part of our heritage and if managed right it’s very beneficial to animals.What is your opinion on hunting?
    Hunting is Nature's way. Everything in Nature hunts. Think about it. Wolves hunt, tigers hunt, lions hunt, bears hunt, your lovable tabby cat hunts, even lambs hunt for greener pastures.





    Only Man hunts for sport. If he is wasting Nature's resources by killing indiscriminately then it is wrong. If he is utilizing the meat for food and just keeping the hide, antlers or head for trophy that's okay too. Many deer hunters back home only keep the head and donate the venison to the old folk's home or orphanage. That's commendable.





    H
    Yeeeeeee Haaaaaaa.* * '; Hunting is Fun, Pleasurable, Recreational, and Enjoyable; Killing is never Enjoyable to us True Hunters who Hunt, and Pursue Animals for Food, and Sport for ourselves, family, friends and fellow Hunters.';... No one really has to Kill any Animal when they are out Hunting for it to be Pleasurable, Enjoyable, Recreational, and Fun.* No True Hunter derives any Pleasure, or Satisfaction from the Killing alone of any of the Animals that he Hunts for, pursues, and harvests for food and Sport.*
    What exactly do you mean by sport? Do you mean you want to hunt and keep or donate the meat? or do you mean you want to hunt just just to say you killed something?.......There is a big difference in these. I am an avid hunter along with my husband and I do not believe in caged in hunts or what we call trophy hunting (only getting the biggest thing you can find). I do believe in the thrill of sitting there and calling in your target and getting them to come to you and then when finished to either donate the meat to a charity to feed the hungry or eat it yourself. If that is the case then yes please hunt and enjoy your hunts in the outdoors for it is a wonderful gift that we are able to do this. The thrill of adrenaline is the most intoxicating thing you will ever feel.
    People opposed to hunting are usually the kind of people that let emotion drive their decision making. Therfore any conclusion or opinion they have on the subject will be based of misinformation and emotionally driven conclusions with little to no logic in them.





    I support hunting because it has done more for public lands than any politician of left wing extremist group ever has or ever will. Hunters are why the Turkey didn't go extinct. Population control is part of it but so is the money gotten from hunting to preserve our lands.
    It's an evil necessity. Hunting controls the population of animals. Without hunting one animal, say deer, would overpopulate an area and starve out other animals. Granted, hunting just for killing an animal is wrong. But I agree with hunting, with controls, and for food.
    I don't hunt ';sports'; I hunt game animals to fill my freezer so my family can have pure protein, instead of the chemical filled, antibiotic stuffed, growth hormone enhanced garbage they sell in stores.


    shoot safe
    As a natural man, I find it natural to take big game for food. I notice that it makes a good sport, while I am at it. Those who hunt purely for sport, I have hopes they will see how fulfilled they become by the whole thing, and that will emerge as more important than the trophy.
    I love the smell of napalm in the morning, and the blood on my forehead when I gut a deer.
    I love it.It is a good way to relax even if you do not kill anything.One of the coolest things I ever saw was to bucks fighting during the rut and I did not even kill anything that year.
    Hunting is not only fun, but it also happens to be awesome. Plus there's nothing like eating something that you killed yourself. I approve.
    as longe as you eat it and its not endangerd i dont care unless you are a blood thirsty animal, in that case you should go and die in a hole

    It is better than drugs or hookers.
    You eat what you shoot.
    I have no problem with it.
    If you kill it, eat it.
    ';Don't do to others what you won't want to be done to you'; - I follow this philosophy, thus even eat meat bought in a super marked is disgusted by me and kill just for the fun of it is even as worse than hunt for survival. It is sad, it is horrible, it causes a lot pain and fear to other being.
    Well, there's two sides to it. I would NEVER hunt but it helps with animals not being overpopulated. So, I don't like it, but sometimes it helps the economy from being run over by herds and herds of deer.

    I think that you can use number 4, 6, or 8 shot for ducks- you don't need anything bigger than that.





    Federal has affordable shotshells, and Winchester and Remington loads are usually inexpensive, too.
    Depending on the state in which you hunt the regulations may differ but I believe that most states have gone non-toxic in shot composition (aka no lead). It also helps to know if it's a double/single barrel,auto, etc because recoil/velocity might be an issue if it's an auto. Try midwayusa.com for a good selection and respectable prices. If all else fails try asking him early what's his favorite or perhaps an old hunting buddy of his.

    Hunting rifle laws, where do I find them?

When he was given the gun, he was supposed to go through a background check/ waiting period, through an FFL, but now that he has possession of it, there are no other laws concerning having it registered.Hunting rifle laws, where do I find them?

    He's obviously too little to properly understand how to use a scope. Just have him practice on his kindergarten friends.





    *cries*At what age should a 4yr old be allowed to get a scope for his hunting rifle?
    I'd say between the ages of 6-12. At 6 you can get him into learning to use it, which isn't hard of course. I think the age of 4 is too young for one. I'm assuming you take him out and target practice. I'd keep doing that first to get his aim better then work to the scope. I'm also guessing you've taught him how to be reponsible for his rifle, etc. If he is reponsible and shows it maybe say for his 5th birthday he can have a scope. It's your judgement call.

    4 year old's don't have the body weight, coordination, or balance to hold, load, or shoot a hunting rifle thereby making the need for a scope unnecessary

It smells like dirt, but It works!What are the best scent eliminatiors for deer hunting?
    I have used the scent away products and they do help. With everything they are not the end all be all. Since I have started using the products I have never been winded, that I know off.





    Again they do help, especially if you are in brushy areas that yeild under 50 yard shots.





    Had 2 mature bucks 15-45 yards downwind, harvested a 125'; deer 2 weeks ago. After I shot the nine pointer, the 8 pointer was still running around not knowing were I was. He was only 20 yards from my stand when I shot.What are the best scent eliminatiors for deer hunting?
    Quite frankly scent eliminators are a waste of money unless you bow hunt. I shot a deer smoking a cigarette one time. Just like camouflage. Its useless as well unless you bow hunt. I hunt in a pair of green pants made by carhartt,and depending how cold it is depends on how many layers I have, and a brown jacket.
    I'll tell you my little secret. I put my clothes in a box I have filled with dirt about 2 weeks before season begins. It helps. Also when you take a bath, then use a soap that is not scented. I hunt from down wind, but sometimes, the deer will surprise you and come from that way. I don't have a big problem with scent control. Sometimes, the deer come right up to within 10 yards.
    There is one that uses charcoal that comes in a black bottle. It turns your clothes black, but it works like nothing else will. My first bow kill buck was a 120'; buck that was 30 yards straight down wind. He was with about 10 does. Not one of those deer had an inkling I was there.

    What is a good compound bow for deer hunting?

    ive never had a compound before, and i am getting bored with my crossbow. Im looking for models, draw weight reccomendations and just general size advice. Also prices for bows used would be nice, if i get one it probably wont be newWhat is a good compound bow for deer hunting?
    Buy a used one at your local archery shop that they took on a trade in. This way you will save money, and the shop can make sure it fits you,(draw length and draw weight ) and sell you the accessories that go with it that you may need. Plus, they will let you shoot the bow to see if you like it. Good luck!What is a good compound bow for deer hunting?
    Ive been bow hunting for 5 years and have bought 3 used bows all for under 150 each. I know alot of people will disagree with me but i have never had any problems with them. I can shoot a tighter grouping from 30 yards with my $130 darton compound than four of my buddies with brand new mathews bows. I figure unless your doing it for competitions and tournaments any thing over $250 for used bows your just paying for the name. I have done side by side comparisons with an $800 mathews and my $150 Oneida and found the cheap one just felt much better. Your bow has to fit you perfectly if you want to be consistent. You need to pick it up and pull it back and think ';wow, that's comfy.'; As for the draw weight, my bows are all set at 60lbs. some guys will tell ya its got be 70 or 80 but unless you have a 90% let off at full draw, good luck. I believe the legal draw for my state is 35lbs. That's what my girlfriends is set at and she took her first deer at 40 yards last year with a full pass through. Overall, get what feels good to you. Shoot it at the store at least 20 times to get a feel for it. And dont overlook the used bows.
    I too have a PSE Nova. Mine is set at 52 pounds with a 27'; draw. I am a leftie, I bought mine used, had it tuned at an outfitters, I have a whisker biscuit arrow rest, Alpine 5 arrow quiver and a tru-glo 3 pin sight and a carrying case, all for less than $400.00.


    My husband has a PSE Vengeance. This is a parallel limb bow. 7 1/2 risers, single cam. 65 pound draw weight with a 30'; draw length. He too has the whisker biscuit with a 4 pin tru-glo sight, and a 7 arrow Alpine quiver.He uses a Tru-fire caliber release He uses 32'; Carbon Express 60-70 arrows at about $5.00 each. I use the 50-60 Carbon Express, I think mine are 29';, they cost just a bit less. I use a tru-fire stalker custom release.





    All of these things can be found at Cabela's except the Vengeance, PSE doesn't make that now any longer.


    Here's a picture of one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Bow-PSE-Vengeance-RH鈥?/a>



    all the different numbers (draw weight, distance, etc.) are going to depend on you, your size, and your strength...





    once you know what you're comfortable with... your best bet is a used bow... in your price range, of course. Your best bet is going to be eBay... I bought a competition target shooting bow for 850, and although that may sound steep, keep in mind I got about 2300 bucks worth of accesories for almost a third the cost!!!
    i have a pse nova set at 65lbs with 30 inch draw and am very happy with it! cost me less than 500 with all accessories new! check out pawn shops or see if your archery shop might have used bows. smaller compact bows are better to manuever in tight spaces, like tree stands. 45lbs or better is what i recommend for deer, thats the min requirement in my state. hope this helps. bear, pse, mathews, browning all good brands
    You might wanna take a look at livenyx.com. It is a blog on archery and I think there is a store where you can look at its merchandise. Should have what you are looking for at a lower price.
