It was my very first time deer hunting. I went up with my dad, his brother, my cousin, and a bunch of their buddies. We were staying in a pop-up spray painted blaze orange by my dad and his brother. My dad had bought me all new blaze cloths and a pair of mittens for himself and I with magnets so you could flip them back and use yours fingers. On opening day my dad and I headed out and followed our bright eyes we put out the day before. Well after the first couple of sets, we weren't sure which one's were ours. So, my dad grabbed my compass and got our heading. So we headed north by the compass and eventually reached a ridge. But we could see a white and orange blob througth the trees. My dad went to check it out and found that it was our truck and camper. We had walked in a full circle and had sat and watched our camp. We figured out later that our gloves had magnets so the compass reading wasn't right. My family has never let my dad live it down, great way to start deer hunting, no wonder I havent shot one yet!

I've made a couple wooden crankbaits. To me it's more of a hobby, it's a great way to still be involved with fishing during the offseason, I don't icefish much.

Get a pump, it's much easier on your wallet, and a great gun to start off with. The remington .887 or .870 express are great in .12 gauge, and can be used for almost every type of bird hunting. You can also get slug barrels for deer hunting as weel

This here is a forty four magnum, the most powerful hand gun in the world, it can blow your head clean off, and in all of this commotion i can't remember whether I fired five bullets or six. So tell me, do ya feel lucky punk, well do ya? That's mine, classic Eastwood
Duck hands down
Nuge or Angus
Try smoking the fish, anything tastes good smoked.

In northern Wisconsin, all we fish is bucktails. I've tried using marabou for muskies, but I still haven't had any luck

Blow it all on musky fishing tackle
I've never heard anything bad about them as well, If I wasn't a poor college kid, I would buy one in a heartbeat
Ted Nugent is the greatest man alive! He once killed a pheasant with pistol!!!! I sometimes have trouble with a shotgun! The guy is a GOD, and he is the best thing our sport could have ever asked for. The Nuge wins hands down. He could possibly be the best president this country has ever seen if he ran, and the Nuge on the View would be great

Any hand held game works well, i played yatzee last season, but i recomend bringing two or three, that way you wont get board playing just the one. And I wouldnt recomend yatzee, it's really hard and you never get a Yatzee.
Q:This is kind of random, but do you think a sniper rifle make a good hunting gun?
from Christian Emter on 01.27.09
24 Answers
Yes, typically a sniper rifle chambers rounds from a .227 all the way to .50 calliber. These guns would be great because they are built by military specs and would be able to handle more wear and tear than your average gun. I wouldnt mind using a Dragunov bucause they are light weight and are semi-automatic. Also, the Russains are known for making good firearms
Q:Can anyone recommend a good book on bowhunting whitetails in hardwoods?

Blood Trail: The Truth about bow hunting by Ted Nugent and I know that Fred Bear also has multiple books out on the subject, but I'm sure what they are titled, you should be able to find them at your local public library

Bill Heavey is hillarious! His book "If You Didn't Bring Jerkey, What Did I Just Eat?" is awesome, and had me laughing from page one. Every sportsman needs to read that book. It really helps when your having a bad hunting/fishing day, just think about Bill and nothing seems too bad.
If your hunting anywhere were there is heavy cover and the most you will be able to shoot is around seventy-five yards tops, no other gun beats a lever action 30-.30. This is the perfect gun, it's short, light, and can easily take down a deer. I would reccomend getting a raised scope, so you can still use the iron sights for shorter shots
