Is there a good place to go treasure hunting in or around Nebraska?
I don't know what treasure you are looking for but you might find arrow heads and gold nuggets. I've never heard of anyone finding treasure here, but I don't know everything.
Is a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
if its not that great then what is something to look into for around $600...i would like to have a scope already mounted and bore sightedIs a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
I have a 110GX in 25.06 and it's a very accurate rifle. The trigger is a little heavy but because of concerns about lawsuits that's common on rifles now. The wood isn't as pretty as some of the guns in my safe but as far as function, it's a great gun. My advice would be to get the Savage and the best scope you can afford. The gun is only as good as the optics.Is a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
Great Rifle, however a new gun doesn't shoot any better than a used one.* Buy used and save $$$$ on the Gun %26amp; Scope.*
It's a lot of gun for the money.
If that's the right Savage for you, then go for it. With a good scope, it should be able to shoot fairly well, but as another poster said, they don't put a lot of work into their wood stocks. If you want to tighten your groups up a little more, getting a good bedding job would certainly help. For the $600 I assume you're looking at a new one. All the new centerfire Savage rifles are now being produced with the Accu-Trigger, so while the old triggers were stiff unpleasant, the new models all come with a very nice adjustable trigger. They're an excellent rifle to shoot, and unless you're going to sit in your tree stand looking at the wood, the Savage should suit any hunting role it's placed in, caliber permitting.
Savage rifles may look rather no-frills, but the action, if stiff, is strong and reliable, and the barrels are very, very accurate. I had a .243 that shot 1/2 MOA with 100gr. and 1/3 MOA with 80gr., this with factory remington ammo.
The only thing that might concern me about the Savage is the stock-to-barrel fit, if your rifle doesn't shoot well, have this checked out, with the right fit it may be a tack-driver after all.
savage rifles are mostly all good guns, make sure you get a good scope to compliment your good rifle
A quality rifle AND a scope are pretty hard to come by for $600. You might try the used gun market. The Savage rifle is a pretty good buy for the money.
I've owned a 30-06 110E for 12 years. Puts meat in the freezer every year. I highly recommend the 110 series rifles.

How do I get my friend into hunting?
She say's she hates it but I don't think she does she always wants to shoot my bow and arrow and my guns.
I told her I would go take a hunters safety course with her but she says no.
How can I get her into it????How do I get my friend into hunting?
get a coyote after her. hand her a gunHow do I get my friend into hunting?
don't?
there's a big difference between target shooting and hunting.
if she doesn't want to do it, it's her choice not to, never force anybody to hunt, if you like it, that's your choice. keep in mind that if you try to force a friend to do something they really don't want to do, you might hurt the friendship a bit since you'd be practically giving that person orders. you should respect what she wants to do, if she's a target shooter, then thats what she is.
you never know, see might come around on her own and want to join you on one of your hunting trips, always invite her, but don't bug her about it, let her make her own choice.
I have friends who don't hunt, just like the idea of perfecting a form of art, making a new record is their goal, ours is bagging that animal.
DON'T try to push her into it, she'll only hate it more and you might lose a friend..and dare i say it...she might even join PETA. o.O
maybe offer to take her hunting with you, if she spends enough time out in the woods she might start liking it, and also want to hunt.
there's lots of people that shoot bows/guns and haven't hunted a day in their life. hunting isn't for everyone.
edit: wow i dropped your little friend a e mail trying to tell her why we hunt...not because we think ';they did something wrong'; no..that would be retarted. but no she must turn around and be immature and throw around names. maybe try finding a friend thats more mature...
funny to, because i bet she eat's meat...wonder what that cow did wrong?
FIRST.. if shes an anti-hunter, forget about it you cant change there stubborn minds......
SECOND.. tell her how fun your having, tell her how the woods come to live when your sitting out there. show her some pictures.
THIRD...tell her you aint letting her shoot your guns untill she comes with you, if she dont come with you, i bet shell stop asking to shoot your belongings....:)
Suggest its good times to be had and fun memories to be made, in the end its not about the actual harvest but quality time spent with family and friends, good luck
Cook her an awesome meal with wild game.
Show her some photos and how much fun she will have if she agrees... You never no what she might say.
uh oh well your in the dog house.. don't force her
let her decide i'm a hunter
The only problem I have with hunting is that fact that you are KILLING inocent animals that have done nothing wrong.
I will take the course with you and get the license but I will not be going hunting
EDIT: Oh and too the person that said cook her wild game, I have had wild game before and that doesnt change my opinion about hunting

What air gun should i buy for Rabbit hunting?
nothing like ';buy a .22LR and use that';
it's in my garden with a rabbit investation
Please less than $45(low on cash)
Shooting Jackrabbits and CottontailsWhat air gun should i buy for Rabbit hunting?
%26gt;%26gt;$45 airgun for rabbit hunting?%26lt;%26lt;
There are going to be very few airguns in that price range capable of taking a rabbit.
You need a minimum of 5.0fpe at impact with a perfect head shot to make a clean, humane kill on a rabbit.
The Daisy 880s(rifle + scope combo) sells for $39 at my local Wal-Mart. The 880 generates a muzzle energy of 7.6fpe** with pellets, so you should be able to hunt rabbit at close range. I would suggest no more than 20 yards and 15 would be better
**665fps with 7.7gr pellets(7.6fpe) %26gt;according to the manual for the Daisy 880

Pyramyd Air has 715fps with pellets, which seems to be in error. The manual is more accurate(665fps)
IMO, if you could go just a little more($60), the Crosman 2100 is a much better choice. The 2100 actually does get 725fps with 7.9gr pellets(9.2fpe)

sorry i missread the question, well if i would realy try to get a second hand one and if your hunting rabbits it realy needs to be a decent power, id never try to use these smoothbore pump up rifles like daisys it would be inhumane.
Id get a .22 spring piston air rifle, id recomend a breakbarrel as they are faster to reload or you could get a co2 rifle like the smk 78 i think you call it xs78 but its a full power chineese copy of a old crossman rifle and it is very good for hunting and no recoil but east co2 and would cost about 70$
So for the price range your pretty much stuck wih a bottom of the range chineese rifle like a b2 or that one that looks kind of liek a ak, in this price rane with the chineese id avoid getting a breakbarrel as they tend to have a loose fitting soemtimes so would go for a under or side lever with abit of work you can redo the stocks and tune up the rifle and it wont be a bad hunter, but if you can save up abit of cash id get a xs78 for abit more and if you dont want a co2 id get a xs19 its lightweight, powerfull and accurate and realy good quality for the money.
Happy hunting
If your operating budget is less than $45, then there are really only three choices: the Daisy 880, the Crosman 760, and the Tech Force庐 15.
The Daisy 880 is a 10 pump pneumatic air-rifle built by Daisy. It shoots 7.7 grain pellets at up to 665 fps for 7.6 ff-lbs of muzzle energy. (In reality you're more likely to see around 650 fps with 7.9 grain pellets which works out to around 7.4 ft-lbs.) Its reasonably accurate. More to the point, Walmart usually sells Daisy 880s for around $40. Even though the Crosman 2100 is a better choice for hunting rabbits, given that its the best option in your price range, this is the gun I'd recommend.
The Crosman 660 is a 10 pump pneumatic airgun built by Crosman. Unlike the Daisy 880, most of the time these are smooth-bores. It shoots a 7.9 grain pellet at up to 600 fps for a muzzle energy of 6.3 ft-lbs of energy. It usually costs somewhere between $30-$40 at Walmart.
The Tech Force庐 15 is a cheap Chinese spring piston rifle. It claims a muzzle velocity of 650 fps but doesn't say with what weight pellet. Assuming the pellets are 7.9 grain it should deliver around 7.4 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Compasseco lists it for $31.96, but you'll have to add shipping into that which should put it up to $40 or slightly more.
To hunt rabbits, the gun you chose needs to deliver an impact energy of 5 ft-lbs. All three of the guns I mentioned can do that out to 20 yards. Maybe 25 yards for the Daisy 880 with pointed/round nose pellets (though that's really pushing the envelope and I'd feel more comfortable taking the shot at 20 yards).
To hunt jackrabbits, you need an impact energy of 8 ft-lbs. None of the rifles I mentioned above can do that. (The Daisy 880 comes closest at 7.6 ft-lbs nominally.) In order to get the 8 ft-lbs of impact energy you need for jackrabbits, you're going to have to spend some more money to get a rifle like the Crosman 2100 (7.9 grain pellet @725 fps for a muzzle energy of 9.2 ft-lbs, $60), Daisy 22SG (14 grain pellet @ 600 fps for a muzzle energy of 11.2 ft-lbs, $96), or a Crosman Phantom (7.9 grain pellet @ 1000 fps for a muzzle energy of 17.5 ft-lbs nominally (7.9 grain pellet @ 850-900 fps for 12.6-14 ft-lbs muzzle energy is more likely), $90). Any way you go, you'll probably be limited to no more than 20-25 yards with the multi-pumps and maybe 25-30 yards with the springer.
The Benjamin 392 and Benjamin 397 (along with a host of springers and PCP guns are available in the more than $100 category, but I tried to hold my recommendations to under $100 on the better options for rabbit/jackrabbit hunting which is why I'm not including details on them.
With $45, all you can get is something that can accomplish a serious wound and a prolonged death. When you get $100-110 saved up, get an entry level ';1000 fps'; break barrel like Crosman Storm XT. Until you have the proper rifle and the skill to kill in one shot, please leave the rabbits alone and be an ethical ';hunter';.
i would use a daisy pump rifle where the forearm of the airgun pumps. pump about 20 times for a good hit. it is recomended just to pump ten times but it won't hurt anything except the airtank and the rabbit. mine lasted 10 years and i used to pump it up to 100 times.

Should I take my GF on a romantic hunting date?
What should we shoot, or kill? Rabits, Deer, Birds, or should I go fishing, or what!!! I want our anniversary to be awesome for me.Should I take my GF on a romantic hunting date?
I personally love to kill innocent birds...
maybe she prefers a romantic dinner date, you selfish guy. ;)Should I take my GF on a romantic hunting date?
well if you want your aniversery to be perfect make your gf happy dont make it all `bout you.personally i hate hunting and every other girl i know hates hunting to.so if i were you go take a romantic walk around a romanitc lake at night that would be the perfect date!!!!!!!oh and then set up a picpik down at the lack for when your done.
Good advice: Take her to diner...don't catch her diner.
Bad advice: Make the anniversary all about you and your wants.
The Plus:Have fun either way one way you get laid...the other you get to kill wabbits.
Um.Most girls don't find killing romantic.How about thinking of something that would make your anniversary awesome for HER??? That's if you want there to be another anniversary.Next year.
Yes. You should hunt doves, or go on a adventure to find bigfoot. OR maybe you should go to the forbidden Romanian Forest, and look for aliens.
If you live in a good area, Pheasants I'd say. Or squirrel, if you think that would go over well. Deer won't be huntable for a while.
Fishing would be good to.
hunting?!?
how about thee mall fool :)

Is there a good place to go treasure hunting in or around Nebraska?
I don't know what treasure you are looking for but you might find arrow heads and gold nuggets. I've never heard of anyone finding treasure here, but I don't know everything.
Is a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
if its not that great then what is something to look into for around $600...i would like to have a scope already mounted and bore sightedIs a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
I have a 110GX in 25.06 and it's a very accurate rifle. The trigger is a little heavy but because of concerns about lawsuits that's common on rifles now. The wood isn't as pretty as some of the guns in my safe but as far as function, it's a great gun. My advice would be to get the Savage and the best scope you can afford. The gun is only as good as the optics.Is a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
Great Rifle, however a new gun doesn't shoot any better than a used one.* Buy used and save $$$$ on the Gun %26amp; Scope.*
It's a lot of gun for the money.
If that's the right Savage for you, then go for it. With a good scope, it should be able to shoot fairly well, but as another poster said, they don't put a lot of work into their wood stocks. If you want to tighten your groups up a little more, getting a good bedding job would certainly help. For the $600 I assume you're looking at a new one. All the new centerfire Savage rifles are now being produced with the Accu-Trigger, so while the old triggers were stiff unpleasant, the new models all come with a very nice adjustable trigger. They're an excellent rifle to shoot, and unless you're going to sit in your tree stand looking at the wood, the Savage should suit any hunting role it's placed in, caliber permitting.
Savage rifles may look rather no-frills, but the action, if stiff, is strong and reliable, and the barrels are very, very accurate. I had a .243 that shot 1/2 MOA with 100gr. and 1/3 MOA with 80gr., this with factory remington ammo.
The only thing that might concern me about the Savage is the stock-to-barrel fit, if your rifle doesn't shoot well, have this checked out, with the right fit it may be a tack-driver after all.
savage rifles are mostly all good guns, make sure you get a good scope to compliment your good rifle
A quality rifle AND a scope are pretty hard to come by for $600. You might try the used gun market. The Savage rifle is a pretty good buy for the money.
I've owned a 30-06 110E for 12 years. Puts meat in the freezer every year. I highly recommend the 110 series rifles.

How do I get my friend into hunting?
She say's she hates it but I don't think she does she always wants to shoot my bow and arrow and my guns.
I told her I would go take a hunters safety course with her but she says no.
How can I get her into it????How do I get my friend into hunting?
get a coyote after her. hand her a gunHow do I get my friend into hunting?
don't?
there's a big difference between target shooting and hunting.
if she doesn't want to do it, it's her choice not to, never force anybody to hunt, if you like it, that's your choice. keep in mind that if you try to force a friend to do something they really don't want to do, you might hurt the friendship a bit since you'd be practically giving that person orders. you should respect what she wants to do, if she's a target shooter, then thats what she is.
you never know, see might come around on her own and want to join you on one of your hunting trips, always invite her, but don't bug her about it, let her make her own choice.
I have friends who don't hunt, just like the idea of perfecting a form of art, making a new record is their goal, ours is bagging that animal.
DON'T try to push her into it, she'll only hate it more and you might lose a friend..and dare i say it...she might even join PETA. o.O
maybe offer to take her hunting with you, if she spends enough time out in the woods she might start liking it, and also want to hunt.
there's lots of people that shoot bows/guns and haven't hunted a day in their life. hunting isn't for everyone.
edit: wow i dropped your little friend a e mail trying to tell her why we hunt...not because we think ';they did something wrong'; no..that would be retarted. but no she must turn around and be immature and throw around names. maybe try finding a friend thats more mature...
funny to, because i bet she eat's meat...wonder what that cow did wrong?
FIRST.. if shes an anti-hunter, forget about it you cant change there stubborn minds......
SECOND.. tell her how fun your having, tell her how the woods come to live when your sitting out there. show her some pictures.
THIRD...tell her you aint letting her shoot your guns untill she comes with you, if she dont come with you, i bet shell stop asking to shoot your belongings....:)
Suggest its good times to be had and fun memories to be made, in the end its not about the actual harvest but quality time spent with family and friends, good luck
Cook her an awesome meal with wild game.
Show her some photos and how much fun she will have if she agrees... You never no what she might say.
uh oh well your in the dog house.. don't force her
let her decide i'm a hunter
The only problem I have with hunting is that fact that you are KILLING inocent animals that have done nothing wrong.
I will take the course with you and get the license but I will not be going hunting
EDIT: Oh and too the person that said cook her wild game, I have had wild game before and that doesnt change my opinion about hunting

Does Sarah Palin still smoke Marijuana when hunting from planes?
Will this result in a hunting ';accident'; similar to the one involving VP Cheney when a drunken Cheney shot one of his hunting partners?
In addition to hunting from planes, does Palin fish with dynamite?Does Sarah Palin still smoke Marijuana when hunting from planes?
All of this is very possible and might come out as the campaign progresses. We already know that she's corrupt because she tried to fire her brother in law from the Government, to help out her sister who had marital difficulties. All this of course is the tip of the icebergDoes Sarah Palin still smoke Marijuana when hunting from planes?
Palin has no concern for the Polar Bears or Climate Change either
She also wants to plunder the Wildlife reserve
Is your boy Osama still using cocaine? Remember.....he's an admitted cocaine user.
dose it matter when its legal in alaska
lol
I she did maybe more people would vote for mcpain

I'm want to buy a machete for my brother in law to take hunting. Anyone know of a good one to buy?
Brand, quality.. Im not too sure what to look for. Any websites you could suggest?? Thank you!I'm want to buy a machete for my brother in law to take hunting. Anyone know of a good one to buy?
If you really want to spend the money and get the best, go for a US military issue machete available from countless online suppliers.
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/axeshatc_鈥?/a>
Cold Steel makes a great line of machetes that will last a lifetime.
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/36697-126鈥?/a> One of my favs.
My recommendation, though? It's going to be so sparsely used, a $6 Walmart one is about the best you can get. Think of it like a disposable lighter....use it and get the use out of it, but don't plan for it to last forever.
If you plan to cut firewood with it, don't! Buy a good hatchet or camp axe instead!
Addendum to Pierre:
I consider them to be disposable because they aren't designed nor intended to last longer than one or two seasons at most. A machete isn't a ';knife'; in the classic sense. It has no design for long-term function. It's simply a piece of cheap sheet steel with a rough edge ground on it. That's why they tend to sell for less than $10 in most cases. You use it til it's used up (bent, dull etc) and you toss it and buy another.
If you buy a $10 machete, even using it one season to cut the weeds out of your favorite duck blind, you got your money's worth of use out of it. You come out far better by simply tossing it and buying another rather than spending even an hour taking care of the old one. It's like reloading ammo....there comes a point whereby spending time reloading ammo just isn't cost effective when the same ammo can be bought in the store for half that amount.I'm want to buy a machete for my brother in law to take hunting.

For hunting whitetail deer is used cooking oil a good attractant?
I am in west central louisiana and was wondering if anyone knows if the oil used to deep fry the turkey would be good to poor out in the woods as an attractant.For hunting whitetail deer is used cooking oil a good attractant?
mix with deercorn oatmeal and acorn all ground up with some malases. and you basicly have yourself a salt block. but as for the oil alone i dont beleve that there would be any reason that the deer would be attracted to thatFor hunting whitetail deer is used cooking oil a good attractant?
NO NO NO NO a deers sense of smell is their most valuable tool for survival,so if they smell something they are not used to you will never see them. what i use is a coon piss cover scent on my boots and scent wafers usually acorns.
Deer do not watch TV so they don't know about McFries, McChips or other McCrap.
Who put you up to this Wesson Oil, or Larry the Cable Guy?
used cooking oil works for bears, but it would tend to spook off a white tail. Scents like apple, or estrus work much better.
split apples, sugar beets, young green corn stalks %26amp; sugar cane stalks, make good attractants
No, DO NOT use this at all! It will drive the deer away as they are herbivores and not carnivores. Go to your local outdoors store and buy some Tink's #69.
Also from central louisiana Grey. NO don't do it.

What is the difference between shooting and hunting?
in the UK, does ';hunting'; mostly means fox hunting (which is forbidden) and shooting - game shooting?What is the difference between shooting and hunting?
Shooting is projecting an object at speed using some form of 'equipment' e.g. a gun, sling / catapult, pea shooter at a target.
Hunting is looking for prey with the aim of killing it, the activity a cat, owl, weasel or fox does.
Fox hunting is not forbidden, it was made illegal to use dogs to pursue them!What is the difference between shooting and hunting?
Shooting is for killing enemies or hitting a point and hunting is to killing or catching animals for food.
In america, everything you hunt for is considered hunting. Shooting is more when you murder someone with a gun.
Shooting means using guns. Hunting foxes means a pack of beagles and a troop of horses and riders.
they are basically the samething but wen hunting they use all kinds of things to kill the animal or watever.
well.. in the US shooting is just having fun shooting targets and clay birds.. and hunting is when you go out int he woods and kill animals to eat them lol.. pretty simple
Shooting is just that, shooting a weapon. Hunting means that you are on the look-out for something to shoot.
they mean the same thing except when to hunt to use guns, traps, etc....
They both mean you have a little penis.

you can kill a prarie dog from as far as you can hit it with a .22 (unless u have incredible aim) but i personaly wouldnt shoot at praire dog from farrther than 50 yards with a 20 gauge

Do any of you fellow hunters enjoy hunting exotics?
I really enjoy the sport of Exotic hunting how many of you out there do and what animals have you taken ?Do any of you fellow hunters enjoy hunting exotics?
Bighorns, Oryx and Gemsbok so far. Unlike a lot of ';meat on the table'; deer hunters, I prefer unusual game and fortunately live where they are readily available to hunt right here in the US or just a short trip south in Mexico.
Rumor is that Pumas are breeding like crazy throughout the Rockies and Sierras and causing all kind of problems, and I've never bagged a big cat so that's on my radar.Do any of you fellow hunters enjoy hunting exotics?

Is a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
if its not that great then what is something to look into for around $600...i would like to have a scope already mounted and bore sightedIs a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
I have a 110GX in 25.06 and it's a very accurate rifle. The trigger is a little heavy but because of concerns about lawsuits that's common on rifles now. The wood isn't as pretty as some of the guns in my safe but as far as function, it's a great gun. My advice would be to get the Savage and the best scope you can afford. The gun is only as good as the optics.Is a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
Great Rifle, however a new gun doesn't shoot any better than a used one.* Buy used and save $$$$ on the Gun %26amp; Scope.*
It's a lot of gun for the money.
If that's the right Savage for you, then go for it. With a good scope, it should be able to shoot fairly well, but as another poster said, they don't put a lot of work into their wood stocks. If you want to tighten your groups up a little more, getting a good bedding job would certainly help. For the $600 I assume you're looking at a new one. All the new centerfire Savage rifles are now being produced with the Accu-Trigger, so while the old triggers were stiff unpleasant, the new models all come with a very nice adjustable trigger. They're an excellent rifle to shoot, and unless you're going to sit in your tree stand looking at the wood, the Savage should suit any hunting role it's placed in, caliber permitting.
Savage rifles may look rather no-frills, but the action, if stiff, is strong and reliable, and the barrels are very, very accurate. I had a .243 that shot 1/2 MOA with 100gr. and 1/3 MOA with 80gr., this with factory remington ammo.
The only thing that might concern me about the Savage is the stock-to-barrel fit, if your rifle doesn't shoot well, have this checked out, with the right fit it may be a tack-driver after all.
savage rifles are mostly all good guns, make sure you get a good scope to compliment your good rifle
A quality rifle AND a scope are pretty hard to come by for $600. You might try the used gun market. The Savage rifle is a pretty good buy for the money.
I've owned a 30-06 110E for 12 years. Puts meat in the freezer every year. I highly recommend the 110 series rifles.

Does Sarah Palin still smoke Marijuana when hunting from planes?
Will this result in a hunting ';accident'; similar to the one involving VP Cheney when a drunken Cheney shot one of his hunting partners?
In addition to hunting from planes, does Palin fish with dynamite?Does Sarah Palin still smoke Marijuana when hunting from planes?
All of this is very possible and might come out as the campaign progresses. We already know that she's corrupt because she tried to fire her brother in law from the Government, to help out her sister who had marital difficulties. All this of course is the tip of the icebergDoes Sarah Palin still smoke Marijuana when hunting from planes?
Palin has no concern for the Polar Bears or Climate Change either
She also wants to plunder the Wildlife reserve
Is your boy Osama still using cocaine? Remember.....he's an admitted cocaine user.
dose it matter when its legal in alaska

I she did maybe more people would vote for mcpain

I'm want to buy a machete for my brother in law to take hunting. Anyone know of a good one to buy?
Brand, quality.. Im not too sure what to look for. Any websites you could suggest?? Thank you!I'm want to buy a machete for my brother in law to take hunting. Anyone know of a good one to buy?
If you really want to spend the money and get the best, go for a US military issue machete available from countless online suppliers.
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/axeshatc_鈥?/a>
Cold Steel makes a great line of machetes that will last a lifetime.
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/36697-126鈥?/a> One of my favs.
My recommendation, though? It's going to be so sparsely used, a $6 Walmart one is about the best you can get. Think of it like a disposable lighter....use it and get the use out of it, but don't plan for it to last forever.
If you plan to cut firewood with it, don't! Buy a good hatchet or camp axe instead!
Addendum to Pierre:
I consider them to be disposable because they aren't designed nor intended to last longer than one or two seasons at most. A machete isn't a ';knife'; in the classic sense. It has no design for long-term function. It's simply a piece of cheap sheet steel with a rough edge ground on it. That's why they tend to sell for less than $10 in most cases. You use it til it's used up (bent, dull etc) and you toss it and buy another.
If you buy a $10 machete, even using it one season to cut the weeds out of your favorite duck blind, you got your money's worth of use out of it. You come out far better by simply tossing it and buying another rather than spending even an hour taking care of the old one. It's like reloading ammo....there comes a point whereby spending time reloading ammo just isn't cost effective when the same ammo can be bought in the store for half that amount.I'm want to buy a machete for my brother in law to take hunting. Anyone know of a good one to buy?

What is the difference between shooting and hunting?
in the UK, does ';hunting'; mostly means fox hunting (which is forbidden) and shooting - game shooting?What is the difference between shooting and hunting?
Shooting is projecting an object at speed using some form of 'equipment' e.g. a gun, sling / catapult, pea shooter at a target.
Hunting is looking for prey with the aim of killing it, the activity a cat, owl, weasel or fox does.
Fox hunting is not forbidden, it was made illegal to use dogs to pursue them!What is the difference between shooting and hunting?
Shooting is for killing enemies or hitting a point and hunting is to killing or catching animals for food.
In america, everything you hunt for is considered hunting. Shooting is more when you murder someone with a gun.
Shooting means using guns. Hunting foxes means a pack of beagles and a troop of horses and riders.
they are basically the samething but wen hunting they use all kinds of things to kill the animal or watever.
well.. in the US shooting is just having fun shooting targets and clay birds.. and hunting is when you go out int he woods and kill animals to eat them lol.. pretty simple
Shooting is just that, shooting a weapon. Hunting means that you are on the look-out for something to shoot.
they mean the same thing except when to hunt to use guns, traps, etc....
They both mean you have a little penis.

For hunting whitetail deer is used cooking oil a good attractant?
I am in west central louisiana and was wondering if anyone knows if the oil used to deep fry the turkey would be good to poor out in the woods as an attractant.For hunting whitetail deer is used cooking oil a good attractant?
mix with deercorn oatmeal and acorn all ground up with some malases. and you basicly have yourself a salt block. but as for the oil alone i dont beleve that there would be any reason that the deer would be attracted to thatFor hunting whitetail deer is used cooking oil a good attractant?
NO NO NO NO a deers sense of smell is their most valuable tool for survival,so if they smell something they are not used to you will never see them. what i use is a coon piss cover scent on my boots and scent wafers usually acorns.
Deer do not watch TV so they don't know about McFries, McChips or other McCrap.
Who put you up to this Wesson Oil, or Larry the Cable Guy?
used cooking oil works for bears, but it would tend to spook off a white tail. Scents like apple, or estrus work much better.
split apples, sugar beets, young green corn stalks %26amp; sugar cane stalks, make good attractants
No, DO NOT use this at all! It will drive the deer away as they are herbivores and not carnivores. Go to your local outdoors store and buy some Tink's #69.
Also from central louisiana Grey. NO don't do it.

How can you keep Armadillos out of your flower beds, I thing they are hunting slugs.?
What I usually do when I want to protect small trees, bushes or flowers from armadillos is to build an electric fence all around the place you want to preserve.
The electric fence should be at a height of 4 inches or so, and to avoid loosing the electricity you should cut the grass first wherever the fence is going to be over. Or you just can spray that line with glyphosate (Roundup).
The electric fence won't kill them, just keep them out or that square.How can you keep Armadillos out of your flower beds, I thing they are hunting slugs.?
move to the yukon territory. the weather is too cold for armadillos to survive.
but then again, most of your flowers won't either. lolHow can you keep Armadillos out of your flower beds, I thing they are hunting slugs.?
they will also eat bulbs and so on just place moth balls in the corners and the trails of the areas or buy some lion or bear or puma crap from the zoo and slice a small slice and place it in a cheese clothe and hang it near the corners of the garden or the yard the predator smell keeps them out and a little is enough for years and lasts wrapped up in the freezer prices are steep fot the more exotic predators are worth it like lion stuff
I would so love to see an Amradillo in the wild - they're neat!
I live in Australia and have never seen one.....sorry not much help am I?

it's too costly for me but sounds like a good time
Bighorns, Oryx and Gemsbok so far. Unlike a lot of ';meat on the table'; deer hunters, I prefer unusual game and fortunately live where they are readily available to hunt right here in the US or just a short trip south in Mexico.

What are the regs. of bringing a hunting/fishing knife on a plane?
I'm going on a trip to N.J. to fish the coast. I have a lucky knife that I take EVERYWHERE I go. My best friend left it to me in his will after dieing in a boating accident. I would feel terrible if I had to leave it behind. A relative of mine in school for a commercial Pilot's License told me that I can bring it as long as I put it in my Luggage that goes beneath the plane(As apposed to carry on). What are the regulations on bringing it along with me on a commercial aircraft. Anyone know any websites that could help?What are the regs. of bringing a hunting/fishing knife on a plane?
http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/p鈥?/a>
That is the link to the TSA website they set the regulations on what you can and can not take on the aircraft with you in both your checked and carry on luggage. You will see that you are allowed to pack a knife in your checked luggage.
Hope this helps and have a great flight!What are the regs. of bringing a hunting/fishing knife on a plane?
It can not be done.
It MUST be checked. You can not carry it on. For more information, see the link below
Cant bring any kind of knives aboard the plane.. sorry.
luggage compartment
go to the website: US Department of transportation for your answer
Merry Christmas!!!
PS: don't take your knife or you could federal express it to your destination then you'll have it when you get there and you could federal express it back home before you leave...
Check the air port website. You definitely can't carry it on, but some will let you put it in your check.
You cannot carry it on with you. It has to go in your non-carry on luggage.
Travel light. Leave it at home. Buy what you need when you arrive.
Not allowed

How can you keep Armadillos out of your flower beds, I thing they are hunting slugs.?
You have armadillos???? That's really cool! All I ever see are bunnys and birds in KY. Sorry no good answer for you, I just think it's cool that you have armadillos!
P.S. I just let the bunnys chew on the stuff in my garden because I think they are cute to see in the morning.... everyone needs to eat!How can you keep Armadillos out of your flower beds, I thing they are hunting slugs.?
Buy a powder that kills the slugs.How can you keep Armadillos out of your flower beds, I thing they are hunting slugs.?
More likely they are hunting GRUBS. You can apply a grub pesticide. You can also try spreading mothballs or cut-up cayenne peppers in your garden to repel them, or actually live-trapping them with a Hav-a-hart trap and them relocating them.
Another idea: Amazon carries an impulse sprinkler that has a motion detector attached to it. When an animal walks in range of the detector the sprinkler fires out a spray of water to scare it away. :-)

What is the best, thinnest socks for keeping your feet warm and dry for hunting ?? ?
The boots I bought don't have a lot of extra room for thick socks. That's why I thought I'd ask if there are any good thin socks that work well for hunting weather.What is the best, thinnest socks for keeping your feet warm and dry for hunting ?? ?
Ive been experimenting with with different sock combos over the last few years and I think I finally found the ultimate cold weather sock combo. Start by putting on two pair of thin dress sock (the stretchy black ones with patterns on them that you wear with suits), then slide a medium thickness wool sock on over them. People swear by the unnatural material such as polypropylene because it does not absorb moisture but they do not insulate as well as cotton or wool. By combining the two materials and creating a wicking barrier your feet will stay dry and that leads to warmth. What is the best, thinnest socks for keeping your feet warm and dry for hunting ?? ?
I dont know about for hunting but for hiking I find that merino wool socks are thin yet really warm and they will even work if they get wet. They range in price- $4 for 74% merino wool to $20 for the same or sometimes even less merino wool. Costco or sams club has the less expensive but are just as good as paying for a brand name
try a light wool or polypropylene sock and layer with a waterproof sock like ';sealskin';,gortex seem to help retain heat since they don't breathe as well. This should keep you feet warm and dry if you cannot get a bigger boot size.

Why do Libs want to dictate what kind of firearm I can own? I have heard countless libs say, ';Oh a hunting?
rifle or maybe a small caliber pistol will be OK but not a semi-auto or ';assault rifle';';. And please don't say that according to conservatives rocket launchers or explosives should be an option as they are not.Why do Libs want to dictate what kind of firearm I can own? I have heard countless libs say, ';Oh a hunting?
Gun control will never happen in the US. 1, the Constitution is on our side, and 2, it is impossible to round up, much less even account for, all the firearms in this country.
I don't own any, as far as you know. I gave all mine away last week to a criminal on the corner. Since only criminals should have guns, I wanted to get rid of mine.Why do Libs want to dictate what kind of firearm I can own? I have heard countless libs say, ';Oh a hunting?
Well, since you already agree that some weapons should not be legal--such as rocket launchers--then you agree that the line must be drawn somewhere.
If you want to change where the line is drawn, it's up to you to persuade us that the line should be drawn in a different place. So why do YOU think semi-automatic rifles are a good thing to own?
Why do conservatives dictate whom I can and can't marry?
A bad marriage is less dangerous than a man with a grudge and heat.
Guns kill. Gays don't.
Addendum:
To keep us safe from a tyrannical gov, right?
Who keeps everyone else safe from a handful of madmen with full autos?
why does anyone ever need an assault rifle for anything other than killing someone.
a hunting rifle actually has a use that doesn't involve murder.
I don't know, it makes sense to me.
i don't think that has to do with your political party, i just think i has to do with some common sense.
Actually the Supreme Court dictates. In 1939, the Supreme Court ruled that sawed off shotguns were not needed by militia (all Americans). The Supreme Court basically said military rifles are legal since they are needed by militia.
United States v. Miller
http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct-cgi/get…
And in 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that hand guns are legal (even though they are not needed for militias).
Obama is on video saying he agrees with banning handguns(which has been proven unconstitutional).

WTF does anyone need an assault rifle for? Honestly!
Have guns that's fine and very few people dispute that. But no one should have a gun in their house that should only be used in a war. THAT'S RIDICULOUS!
Because it's a lot easier to shoot up a school with an assault rifle than a single shot rifle with 5 rounds in it.
And before you get all hyped up about how we should not punish those not doing the crime, people steal weapons to do this.
libs don't. i'm a lib and have several semi-autos and rifles. being a good machinist i could make them full auto if i wanted, not that i want to. just don't tell me what i think or what i dictate. speak for yourself, think for yourself
Well Quan. I'd much rather have a semi automatic weapon at my disposal if an intruder came into my home than have to lug out a big bolt action rifle.
That's what I need an assault weapon for.
And I own 2 just so you know.
It is because they do not understand the intent of the second amendment.
The 2nd amendment is not about hunting. It is not defense from criminals.
The 2nd amendment was written so citizens could defend themselves from an tyrannical government.
It's just their way of incrementally eroding the 2nd Amendment.
He Quan....you're an idiot. If I want an assault rifle, that's my business and you'd be smart to stay out of it. Liberal wacko.....
It goes against the Second Amendment.
It's not that i want a big gun like that,
it's the fact they're trying to change my rights.
Expecially ones for my own protection.
I don’t know about the “Libs”, but I need a gun that can shoot one million rounds in 60 seconds.
Even “Independents” understand why our forefathers felt the need to arm “we the people”.
And why should your weapons be limited to firearms? Have you seen the latest in cell-phone detonators for explosives?
unarmed people are slaves. Armed people are citizens
the 2nd amendment says we can have weapons to have a militia in case the government turns against the people
Because when you wind up shooting them in the face, they still want to be ';recognizable';.

Why are so many people against hunting?
I have taken a hunting class which has taught me that hunting is a form of population control. I also wanna know if the people against think its worse than the fact that we herd cattle for years just to kill them?Why are so many people against hunting?
Because they are ignorant of the facts, which they regularly ignore, even when proven to be true. In fact, the anti-hunters tend to scream all the louder, as the truths are proven again and again.
Humankind survived for well over 100,000 years because of hunting.
Your second question is an accellent question.
Farm raised beef cattle wander around limited acrage with not much of a life.
Wild game race through forests, enjoy their freedom and make babies with their mates. They live much as they did 500 years ago.
The problem is that as they make more and more babies, they use up the grazing lands. The result is that they all start starving to death.
The very reason that we have so many richly populated hunting lands, full of fresh and healthy game...is because of a hunter. A hunter whom also happened to be the President of The United States.
His name was Teddy Rooseveldt.
He created the National Parks Service. Demanded that hunters buy a hunting license, and the funds be used to preserve state and federal hunting lands, national parks and game preserves.
Trust me, if the ';Anti-Hunting'; crowd had their way, there wouldn't be a game animal left on this planet after a hundred years.
They'd all be dead from starvation or disease.
As usual, ';Liberals'; do not think ahead when it comes to the cost of their wild, emotionally motivated lawsWhy are so many people against hunting?
* They are not against Hunting.* Only 15% of all of the people in America are against Hunting.* 75% of the People approve and are in favor of Hunting.* 10% have not made up their mind one way or the other.* You are mistaken about the Majority being against Hunting.*
Because of ignorance. Some people fail to remember that we (humans) are animals too. And because of our high intelligence we have in some ways become apex predators like sharks, wolves, and lions. An animal lover will go on and on about this and that but fail to remember that animals kill each other every day and we are as I said also animals.
Oh and about being cruel and inhumane, how does it feel to be shredded in a sharks mouth? Not a nice way for a seal or tuna to go. I'm in no way saying to kill off the sharks but just pointing out, humans are not the first species to kill.
It depends on if you are hunting for something that you will consume (eat, use it's fur, etc), or hunting because you like to kill things especially if they are endangered or not in season.
They are ignorant and ignore the fact that us hunters are helping nature by keeping game species numbers in check so that they won't overpopulate and starve and negatively affect other species.
Because people are stupid, that's the simplicity of it. Good luck with your hunting.
Because they are ignorant.
They are animal lovers which is wrong.
who cares.....it's legal to do and they can't do anything about it
population control?? u guys r destroying species in a cruel and hurtful manner.. how about you control the population by shooting yourself and then come back and ask why people are so against hunting
cuz bullets hurt like hell. imagine u getting shot n suffering and considering that as a ';sport';. that's why. cuz it's cruel.
because is cruel,and nobody can take the life from any alive being
because it is murder

What do you think that the best gamelands in NC are for deer hunting?
why do you think this, and have you hunted it? does it consist of mountians, swamps, woods, or fields?What do you think that the best gamelands in NC are for deer hunting?
I think the Pisgah game lands in the mountains are the best I have hunted there for over 20 years . It consists of steep mountains where I hunted . Its easier to find where the deer are for me because the love the acorn flat areas in the steep mountains and its easy to find funnel areas there . Deer take the easiest course around the mountains and I focus on flat areas ,bedding and funnel areas from one set of flats to the other. I hunted at around 4000 ft elevation not far from the blue ridge parkway
There are not large numbers of deer there but that is helpful when hunting big deer . I have found the biggest deer are in areas that arent over populated .
There are old age class deer there also and relatively low hunting pressure . I killed a 10 point that was aged at 8 1/2 yrs old and I am sure there are many more that die of old age in the mountains. My smallest deer from the mountains was and 8 point with a 16 inch spread . most bucks I see there are big.
here are some pictures of bucks from that area

you gotta check out the ghost and the darkness...with val kilmer and michael doughlas..awsome movie about hunters that try to save a tribe from a pride of lions that hunts on its poepleAre there any old movies about hunting in africa?
Tons of them.
I just watched ';Mogambo'; with Clark Gable last night.
Also try ';Hatari'; with John Wayne
';King Solomon's Mines'; with Stewart Granger, ';The Last Safari'; with Granger again.
Also, try ';White Hunter, Black Heart'; with Clint Eastwood, and ';The African Queen'; with Humphery Bogart.
And, of course, don't forget the various ';Tarzan'; films!
The Naked Prey(1966)
It starts out as a safari movie and then turns into something much much more. A great classic!

Is it illegal to go bird hunting with a bb gun?
Well, I am a kid, and I have a bb gun. I was looking on youtube and someone commented that bird hunting was illegal. Well, is it?Is it illegal to go bird hunting with a bb gun?
You are asking way to broad of a question here is a quote from your question guy said';bird hunting was illeagl. Well, is it?';. So in a nut shell no. Bird hunting in general is not illegal. There are laws in using airguns on small game just like there are laws on using .22's on small game. If you are talking about air soft or whatever that crap is called than that is probably illegal because it won't generate enough energy. Give us more details and we can tell you. For example pellet or airsoft type of bird. Hunting song birds is ilegal in many areas and can result in a fine. Although there are many poachers on youtube that have never held a small game license and post videos of them with a 4 foot line of squirrels they killed that afternoon.Is it illegal to go bird hunting with a bb gun?
Game bird season is closed this time of year. You wouldn't want to shoot a bird and have her babies starve, would you?
Non-game birds - tweety birds - are always illegal to shoot. Typically, when you read your state hunting regulations it will say that any species not listed in the regulations may not be taken. However, if you state has pests - starlings and rats are a good example - the state may have determined there is no limit and no closed season.
Bottom line. You need to surf to your official state web site and read the hunting regulations.
You would have to find out your local laws and what type of bird you are wanting to hunt to find the season if there is one fo this type of bird so to answer your question is very hard because it all depends on alot of other needed info.
I don't know all the laws for North America but generally anything but hunting legal game birds with shotguns of legal gauge and legal capacity with legal ammo in the legal season is illegal. Some places allow archery.
if it's a game bird it should be ok. In vermont people do it all the time.
yes, don't always trust the people on youtube.com some of them are stupid.

For example pellet or airsoft type of bird. Hunting song birds is ilegal in many areas and can result in a fine. Although there are many poachers on youtube that have never held a small game license and post videos of them with a 4 foot line of squirrels they killed that afternoon.Is it illegal to go bird hunting with a bb gun?
Game bird season is closed this time of year. You wouldn't want to shoot a bird and have her babies starve, would you?
Non-game birds - tweety birds - are always illegal to shoot. Typically, when you read your state hunting regulations it will say that any species not listed in the regulations may not be taken. However, if you state has pests - starlings and rats are a good example - the state may have determined there is no limit and no closed season.
Bottom line. You need to surf to your official state web site and read the hunting regulations.
You would have to find out your local laws and what type of bird you are wanting to hunt to find the season if there is one fo this type of bird so to answer your question is very hard because it all depends on alot of other needed info.
I don't know all the laws for North America but generally anything but hunting legal game birds with shotguns of legal gauge and legal capacity with legal ammo in the legal season is illegal. Some places allow archery.
if it's a game bird it should be ok. In vermont people do it all the time.
yes, don't always trust the people on youtube.com some of them are stupid.

What do you think about Sunday Hunting?
Here in NC we are debating the no hunting on Sunday law. Allot of other states allow it. Does anyone know of any problems that have really happened because of hunting on Sunday?What do you think about Sunday Hunting?
The ban should be lifted , and the state loses dollars because hunters go to other states like SC to hunt because they have the Sunday hunting there.
Its tough on a man who works all week and just has Saturday to hunt ,the extra day would be nice , its unfair and an old law that i dont likeWhat do you think about Sunday Hunting?
Hunting on sunday should ABSOLUTELY be allowed in all cases. Most people work monday thru friday and can only hunt on the weekend. That leaves saturday and sunday and now the government is trying to take away sundays, which essentially leaves only saturday. If you're an old fart and have a problem with hunting on sunday then don't hunt on sunday. More animals and hunting for me.
SIX (6*) Days a week is more than enough Hunting..... Give the Wildlife a break... enough is enough...
When I was in Wyoming I talked to a Game Warden who said he wouldn't live in a state that didn't allow hunting on Sunday. I'm a Christian and see nothing wrong with hunting on Sunday. The real Sabbath is Saturday, and I think it's ok to hunt then too. Here in Virginia it's illegal to hunt on Sunday and I don't like it. Makes me want a silencer...
Nothing wrong with hunting on Sunday. Lots of people I know do it, and they go to church, even when they go hunt on Sunday, myself included.
I think that is a violation of church and state. Although I am religious and law-abiding I still don't agree with that law.
I say there in NC y'all need to strongly look at who your elected officials are that are proposing such BS and and let them know they will not be getting re-elected. Then you might propose the law to the people of NC if y'all should allow public hangings of corrupt elected officials for abusing the office they hold and trying to take away a God given right to man.
Most people have Sat. and Sun. off work. If the law was like that here it would take away 50% of my hunting time. I don';t understand why a Sate would have a law like this. God don't care if I hunt on Sunday. If it is a religious thing I am sure that there is a law against that law. Are not State and Religion suppose to be separated.
It's just a religious thing. The kicker is Saturday is the actual Sabbath.
What difference would it make? Obviously it's just a religious concern for all the bible thumpers.
It's unfair because that's the day of rest for all of the animals?eyeshadow ideas

What is the best tactic for hunting deer In 80 deg. weather?
It is season and I live in southern NM. I have my thoughts just looking for a different look.
no tree stands you need trees for that.What is the best tactic for hunting deer In 80 deg. weather?
stay near food and water spots. if you can find a area where they bed down i would hunt that during the heat of the day, because most deer bed down during the high heat.
and dont forget to bring your self lots of water to.What is the best tactic for hunting deer In 80 deg. weather?
Find a good higher elevation, sit prone for hours while waiting for a deer to come into view, and than take him down. at a long range, you can cut out, scent lock supplies, bring 3 liters of water, you should have a liter of water a day but un hot weather you should have 2. you wont sweat because you wont be moving, it' actually kind of relaxing. bring a magazine or gameboy or something and just sit by yourself, if a deer comes you'll take it. the more relaxed you are the better the shot you are. stay away for your morning coffe though. even an ounce of caffine or ginsing will make you too jittery to make a long shot. try milk or hot chocolate. you wont have to pact to heavy, water, intertainment(that dosnt require moving), gun, ammo, cell, gps,....Etc... you think of them.
mule deer im assuming idk much about then but its always a good idea to grunt and rattle and hunt ridges overlooking shaded spots during the day find a funnel if you can and hunt near it keep your eyes and ears open and have patience
look for water, beds, and shaded spots during the day. In the early morning and late afternoon look towards their feeding areas.
spot and stalk they'll be in the shadows of brush or rocks! if you have a partner take turns with mini drives, pushing them into each other
Hunt water sources early and late in the day.
try to hunt the early morning and late afternoon hours
be out there very early, stay near water. good luck.

What is the minimum fps for hunting small game with an air rifle?
%26gt;%26gt;What is the minimum fps for hunting small game with an air rifle%26lt;%26lt;
That would depend on the weight of the pellets.
IMO - from 46 years of hunting with and shooting air guns, the minimum fpe necessary to take small game such as rabbit/squirrel is ';around'; 6fpe(at impact), if you use proper shot placement and hunting pellets.
.177
575fps - 8.2gr=6.02fpe
.22
435fps - 14.5gr=6.09fpe
These would be ';around'; the minimum at impact for each caliber.
I have heard as low as 3-4fpe, but IMO that's really pushing it.

%26gt;%26gt;Seems a lot of sickos are into wounding small mammals, which is pretty pathetic%26lt;%26lt; By making a blanket statement such as this you include the vast majority of small game airgun hunters on the European continent and their less than 12fpe air rifles.
I will patiently await a credible source that it requires over 20fpe at impact from a .22 caliber air rifle for a clean, humane, ethical, legal kill

It all depends on what caliber you're using and how far you're shooting at. It also means that shot placement is very critical. Meaning, no body shots, all head. This question comes up all the time. And two of the people who answered this question have no clue to this question you asked. They may think they do, but they don't.
For a .177, a minimun distance of 20 yards out to 30 yards, 600-700 fps. For a .22, minimum of 20, max of 40, 750-800.
These numbers is what I would be using for these calibers, just for the fact that I want one shot, one kill. You also have to remember, when you're shooting at a squirrel for example, it may not sit still for very long. To get a one shot, one kill hit, you're aiming for a very small target. (head) Now I don't know about you, but most people that go out to hunt don't use a shooting bench. They all shoot ';off hand.'; (standing and holding the rifle) Most aren't very accurate, and can't hit a 3-4 inch target 20-30 yards away while holding and trying to aim. Althoght they think they can. I can't hit the side of a barn while shooting off hand myself, so I brace myself again't a tree, or stump. Something so I can steady my shot. 3 out of 5 shots will hit. That's what people need to learn, learning how to make accurate shots. Power isn't really everything, it helps, but if you can't make that shot, you'll need all the power you can get.What is the minimum fps for hunting small game with an air rifle?
700
About 800 fps is minimum.
Most air rifles are unsuitable for hunting. A high powered air rifle will cost more than a good bolt action .22 and require a lot more maintenance. Figure that a .17 pellet rifle needs upwards of 700 fps... closer to 1,000 would be better, but that's in the competition range. There are no CO2 rifles that will work, you'll have to get a breakdown single shot rifle. In most locales, these are considered a firearm - as you approach the velocity of a .22 long rifle, they become as dangerous, so you'll have to observe all relavent hunting, carrying and registration laws for your locale.
There is no minimum here in New York. It is illegal, no matter what the power of the gun.
I would say 700 minimum but i would lean on going at about 800+ so they dont suffer if your getting a gun for small game i would get a .22 short. Thats just me they cost as much as a good air rifle.
20 fpe at impact? Who said that. I think it was maybe at muzzle. CF_45, you seem to be a bit confused.
20 fpe at the muzzle is probably 10 fpe or less at impact if the distance is 50-75'. I'm not going to debate ballistics with you. You should be careful about hurling insults when it is YOU who seems a bit confused!
As for the question, the answer is the rifle capable of delivering at least 10 fpe at point of impact. FPS is not the only factor, the weight of the projectile is probably more critical.
I don't want to get hit by a piano falling 50 ft per second, but I've been hit by airsoft bb's traveling 300 fps. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the piano is more deadly even if the bb was traveling 10x faster.
750 feet per second.
Wouldnt go any less than 1000fps
If you are using .22 caliber pellets - 800 fps.
If you are using .177 caliber pellets - not applicable.
I love to see how many thumbs down I get when I suggest something with enough power for a clean, humane, ethical and legal kill. Seems a lot of sickos are just into wounding small mammals, which is pretty pathetic.

To peeople who have hunting dogs like coon hounds and go hunting with them?
I have a question. Do u ever get afraid they will get lost in the woods or wherever you're hunting? If you don't, why not? And if you do what are you thinking? (I don't mean that in a mean way.)To peeople who have hunting dogs like coon hounds and go hunting with them?
I do boar hunting and large game hunting with italian mastiffs and they wear a protective flare vest with a trafficing beeper on it...not to mention commands that they know which means for the them to return to me.....To peeople who have hunting dogs like coon hounds and go hunting with them?
Most hunting dogs are trained to do what they are supposed to do. Ex. tree the coon, bay until owner shows up, stay at the tree.
The dogs have different bays/barks for different situations. The owners can tell if they have treed a coon, have lost it at the waters edge, have lost the scent totally, have picked up the scent again, etc.
I'm sure every hunter worries about losing their dogs. That's why they train them to come when called and leave a trail if they are called. Sometimes dogs do get lost, but usually find their way home or back to the camp.
Hunting dogs often get lost in the woods. That is one of the reasons that hunters would use tracking collars (which are now outlawed in most states). But those dogs are also trained to bay when they are on the scent of prey, so the hunter is able to track them by hearing them.
My dogs are close-ranging *%26amp;* come when they're called! Ain't that magical?
Those w/big-running dogs use LOCATOR collars....tiny radios.eyeshadow ideas

Where is a website for legal hunting calibers?
I was reading through a few questions and it doned on me that i didnt know.( I dont hunt) I live in TX. I was reading where a gent said mich was divided into to sections. first where it is only rifle and the other where it is open for shotgun(slugs) and 44 mag.... what is it for TX?Where is a website for legal hunting calibers?
For the most part, in TX you can use any caliber that you want. However, you are not allowed to use rimfire ammunition to hunt deer, sheep, or antelope - the primary rimfire round used today is the .22 which is too small to humanely bring down a large animal at distance.Where is a website for legal hunting calibers?
Each state has different laws that permit hunting with rifles or shotguns. I live in virginia on the coast and my county is one of the last counties that is legal for hunting with rifles. It mostly has to do with population density in the county you live in. Most rifles carry a lot further than shotguns, so if there are a lot of houses and people around a rifle round may accidentally shoot someone. Im sure that a lot of texas is legal for rifle hunting, but you would have to check the laws for the county you live in.

What is the purpose of hunting seasons?
I'm assuming there are good reasons other than some bureaucrat's need for control. How did hunting seasons get started and what purpose do they serve?What is the purpose of hunting seasons?
Aquakit gave a good answer!
How it got started was that in the late summer to fall was the mating season for many herbivores such as deer, moose and elk. So the animals would be more concentrated during the rut and gathering for the fall migration with some. This was also harvest time for locals and the ambient tempreture was getting lower allowing for less spoilage of meat. However man hunted year round to feed their families. In the USA it became clear regulations were needed to prevent over harvest. It was the hunter president Teddy Roosevelt that helped pass many laws to save wildlife and set aside national parks. Before that some were actually using punt gun and cannons filled with shot to kill hundreds of waterfowl at once, that was then sold for food. The fall was selected for some game to allow them to care for their young. Biologists and wildlife agencies have adjusted the seasons over the decades to what we have now.
Its now set up to reduce over population in a given area to control disease, reduce auto deer accidents, reduce crop damage, property damage, prevent over grazing and provide food for hunters. The money the hunters spend on permits, licenses etc are then invested in wildlife habitat, wildlife research and agencies that helps the animals and their environment.What is the purpose of hunting seasons?
Ok, the deer's mating season is called the rut, and not all states have a hunting season that coincides with it (here in WI our deer season is slightly after the rut).
You don't want to be hunting the animals when they have young, so the hunting season must be placed accordingly. You also don't want to disproportionately harvest animals. You want a nice balance for proper population control. It all depends on which animal it is and where you are located. The winter cold starts earlier up north and later down south.
Hunting seasons and regulations are very important, if hunters harvested too many or too little animals problems could occur such as too much food for the animal or not enough.
If there were open hunting seasons all year, some animals could go extinct or their population could be hurt greatly, and when they are being hunted it's hard for them to breed therefor the breeding seasons are usually restricted or limited for hunting, and if they let you hunt in the spring for big game, you could possibly shoot a mother and kill the babies hurting the population and killing them inhumanly.
If not hunted enough, there could be too many animals causing unneccesary diseases which nearly wipe out the population, not enough food causing famine, damaging peoples property and farmers land more than ever and causing unhealthy herds.
Hunting is a neccesary proccess, but it must have it's limitations.
They serve to control the population of certain animals that have the possibility of overtaking an area. The reason many animals can only be hunted during certain seasons is because they can't be hunted during their reproductive seasons. That would disrupt their ability to produce offspring, and the purpose of hunting seasons [and hunting in general] is not to make an animal extinct, but control the population
the purpose of a hunting season is to prevent over hunting of a certain species or gender of animal. also, during the warmer months, an animal is more likely to have an infestation of parasites (like worms, fleas, etc..) that can be harmful to a person who comes in contact with it or eats the animal.
and usually the seasons are when the animals breeding season is, which means it (for say) is easier to harvest the animal because they will be more responsive to calls/scents (if used) and they'll be a hair less aware of their surroundings- but ALL animals are VERY aware of their surroundings
The hunting season are determined by the states conservation departments. Biologists determine the times between breeding cycles for game species that would be least detrimental to the population. That's when the Hunting season begins. State biologists also determine what sex, size and number of the game animals that can be harvested. That way a healthy population can be maintained through out the year.
actual hunting seasons started back in the 1700's and was one of the reasons many a wanderer kept going west to escape Govt control. I suppose it does also keep every body from running out and exterminating all the wild life. It's both a boon and a bane.( to fellas like me)
It's mostly based on when the animals breed. It is to control the population numbers. For example, when deers breed, the does will be taking care of the babies. If you shoot a doe, you basically kill it's young. So when they breed, you can't kill does. But you can kill them when breeding season is over and they have no young.
It's a way to regulate the population of the animals.
* Primarily for Conservation and Food purposes.* It is a Renewable Resource that way by having Seasons and Bag or Harvesting Limits on the Wildlife it guarantees a healthy supply of Wildlife that can support itself in the Wild Outdoors.*
Deer hunting season generally runs throughout their breeding season. It give hunters a better chance to bag a deer, they're a lot smarter than you think.
Lot's of good answers here, but beeds covered it all and said it best. A good accurate representation of why be have hunting seasons and how they came about.My hat's off to beeds!
During the last depression all most all wild game was taken for food . So states came up with hunting seasons .
um....food?
Aquakit gave a good answer!

When did your kids start hunting?
My boyfriend and I have a baby on the way. Since we both hunt, we have been talking about when to take our child hunting with us. We were thinking about teaching the responsibility of a gun at around 5 years old. Once he/she is comfortable and responsible with a gun we were thinking of taking him/her hunting around 6 years old. We have plenty of time to think more about this, i was just wondering if that's too young...should we wait longer? What age did you/your kids start hunting?When did your kids start hunting?
I took my son with me when he turned 5. (My Father started taking me when I was 4, but times have changed.) My wife actually would have approved of an earlier age as she hunts too, but we wanted him to learn more about the sport first. My father and I taught him responsible gun safety and use and repeatedly had him start taking apart and cleaning the guns at age 9. My dad gave him a single shot .300 sav at age 10 and I hunted with him for three seasons before I let him start hunting on his own. Of course we used walkie talkies and I stayed fairly close by most of the time. He is 21 now and loves the sport. He is going to be teaching my grandson to hunt pretty soon so it will be fun to watch the course repeat itself.When did your kids start hunting?
He can ride along with you as long as he will behave at 4 or 5 years old. I didn't pull a trigger until I was around 9 or 10 but I rode in the truck and helped carry in birds and watched my dad clean his guns at the kitchen table afterwards. For one thing they have to lose the animals are just cute fuzzy things that most parents bestow on ankle biters these days and secondly they need to lose the aura of guns being something more than a power tool or wrench. Once they are very familiar with the process you can judge for yourself if they are ready for the killing part.
I started hunting with my dad at 6yrs of age. I went along with him, didn't hunt. I got my first BB gun at age 8 and my first shotgun was an H%26amp;R single shot 410 at age 10, 12yrs. old I got my first .22 So I would start taking your child early, like around 6 or 7. Let the child start out with a BB gun at around 8 or 9 and you'll have a future Safe and well knowledged child. Congrats! On keeping the shooting and hunting experience alive for our future children!
Let them move on their own course, with a lot of emphasis on training and learning the skills. I started shooting around the age of 6, hunting pheasants at 11 , and going on deer trips at 12. However you are the camp gopher for a couple of years before you hunt. I got my hunter safety for the rockies when I was 13 and made my first kill at 14. There is a lot to learn to be a successful hunter, avoiding all the gimmicks forced upon us these days. When they can gut one without hurling, they will be getting close...
Might be a bit early at 6 to take them hunting. You could take them to observe then ...yea. But to handle a firearm..I think I'd wait till they get way more meat on there bones..and more common sense about them.
No children of my own just step kids that were grown before I met my wife. I do have a nephew that we took to the woods at 6 and let him shoot a 22. It was almost to big for him for him to hold up so I think I'd wait. he's now 15 and 6' 2';...lol...handles rifles just fine...lol
I started going out with my dad, or my uncle when i was 10. I started shooting at 10, and started hunting around 12. i got my licence at 12, and did my first big game hunt the year i turned 16. I mainly hunted waterfowl, rabbit, and coyote. The year i turned 16 i went on a black bear hunt, whitetail hunt.
When your kid is not spastic like 99% of kids and does not get bored easy and can keep still for hours and quiet is the right time. Many kids are not into it since playing video games and eating candy and chugging soda is more fun.Get a good safe and lock up the guns until their 30. Kids and guns do not mix unless they are supervised.
I took each of my kids with me when they were about 2-3. Everyone of them had a grin from ear to ear each time. They loved dressing up in camo like Dad and taking off in the woods.
I let them shoot a gun (.22) around the age of 5.
It depends on the kids. Some learn things better and younger than others. I began hunting when I was six years old, and I had been taught about guns from the time I was born. There were always guns in the house. I grew up on a farm.
My Dad took us along with him from the time we could walk. Turkey, grouse, sage hen, pheasant, deer and antelope. Gun safety was always discussed in our house and it really never seemed like a big deal. In a small box at the bottom of the gun cabinet, our blaze orange hats and vests still lay in wait.
Due to a military spouse, we lived away from home until three years ago, so as toddlers my children didn't have a lot of exposure. They did go hang out in the goose pit when they were younger than five and we were home on vacation. We lived here for a year while my husband was abroad and I made the tiny blaze orange hats and vests so we could go along with my Dad for deer and antelope. My son was one and a half, my daughter almost four.
My daughter is eleven and will be taking hunter safety next month. She is very eager to join her cousins and the rest of us in the hunt for pheasant and antelope next year. She's already a very active participant in the gutting/cleaning/meat preparation areas.
My son will take hunter safety in the spring around the time he turns ten. According to my Dad and sister, he'll be old enough to bird hunt next fall.
