Legendary hunts, if you didnt bring jerky then what did i just eat, fair chase in north america, a hunt for justice, 21 days in africa. Thats a few in my collection.

backwoods boy, a country boy can survive, drinkin beer and wastin bullets and anythin by ted nugent haha

A marlin 30-30 lever action with iron sights from 90 yards. i was ECSTATIC!

I first went hunting with my dad when I was four years old. Now i know that some of you think that is way too young, but it showed me a lot about waiting patiently and my dad taught me how to kill, very slowly, but he taught me. At about 6, he would aim and hold the gun and allow me to pull the trigger. This allowed me to be a part of the experience and let me have a sense of pride that i took part in putting meat on the table. After that, he would let me "Stand guard against bobcats and poachers" while he went to go get the truck. Again making me feel like i had really helped him out and getting me more and more interested in hunting. Taking me out in the rut was also a wonderful time to teach me about where babies come from (i was 11). I was 9 years old when i shot my first deer and by the age of 14, i could hunt by myself as my father taught me sportsmanship and safety at such a young age.

Either a sailfish, tarpon, or mako on a fly rod. Also ever since the F&S article "Baja by Bike", i really want to catch a roosterfish on a fly rod.

realtree

Rage 100 grain. flies just like the field tip and cuts a 2 inch slit in a deer's shoulder. never has failed to fully expand either (atleast in my experience)

I would suggest a pumpkin green jig with an dark red chunk trailer. Fish it slow with subtle jerks occasionally.

Since i was four so 12 years on Monday when i turn 16. My dad took my brother and 2 sisters and i always wanted to go so my family got me into it.

let him know that if he moved I would shoot him. If he moves, I shoot him, if he doesn't, I hold him there until the police come.

Venison jerky on the water and when im hunting, before we go out, we make biscuits and fry little pieces of ham and snack on them in the stand. The are great and even better cold.

.22, either rifle with scope or pistol with open sights. It allows me to practice my woodsmanship for deer season, it ruins the meat if you shoot them with a shotgun, and it also is a lot less sporting.

Whenever i shoot them; ill clean them righgt quick and throw them in the skillet for a snack or lunch if i shot 2.

Les Stroud all the way. How can a man experience the true feeling of isolation and loneliness that occurs in most survival situations when they have an entire film crew with them? And he is a FAKE!! He was caught! I got Les Stroud's book "Survive! Essential Skills and Tactics to Get You Out of Anywhere-Alive" for Christmas and it was both informative and a very entertaining read. Even though he is from Canada, I will have to go with Les Stroud on this one as he is just too much of a beast for anyone to argue that he is the best.

Chicken livers are my go to bait. They are cheap and easy to get to.

catch and release mostly but sometimes (when i don't want to filet them or am just out there having fun) i will release them.

I thought so too, so what i did was do as many as i could in a minut into one leaf and wrap the leaf up to bundle them clsoe and open the leaf so they will all be in a pile. That way they are close so they can feed off each otehrs heat.

5-15,20,30,40,50

PSE, cant afford anything else haha

I like Dead Down Wind.

I have used both and there good points for each. Cabela's has a better selection, better prices, amazing customer service (including an all-american calling center), and their website is more user-friendly. Bass pro's only plus is that if you have a question about something you purchased, there is a better chance a bass pro is somewhere in your area than a cabelas. personally i would go cabelas all the way! if you dont like it after you use it, you can send it back!

under NO circumstance should you take a shot at a bird flying that low. It is very very dangerous to your other hunters. Even if you are by yourself there might be other wildlife (such as deer) behind it that you could harm. It is extremely unethical and irresponsible.

I love it because it gives me a place to relax and get away from the hastles of everyday life. No school, no work, no cell phone, no homework; nothing but the sound of nature, the fire flickering, fresh caught bluegill sizzling on the skillet, pure heaven.

Benelli hands down.

I would definately let a first time hunter have it. It does not matter how hard it would be (especially if it was a big buck), because we need more hunters in this nation. I dont know what the law says about it, but there will always be more deer (hopefully) but that one incident could ruin a first-time hunter's view of hunting forever and cause him never to go again.

300wsm compact and can take anything from deer to brown bear.

Dragon fly in mid flight with a Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 Mag.

Benelli Nova 20ga. bought it 4 years ago after growing tomatoes in my backyard and selling them around the neighborhood. It was the first realy purchase i had ever made and i was so proud. There is something about buying a gun with your own money you got from working hard that is so great. Looking at it now, im glad my parents dont have enough money to buy my hunting and fishing supplies because i will be a lot better off than other people my age whose parents give them everything they want.

I definately agree with beekeeper and also the easiest way in my opinion is that if it has sunken features, saggy skin, and a pot belly it is an old deer. i just picture my grandpa as a deer and there you have it! :)

It depends on the hunter's individual efficiency at such shots. They certainly should not be attempted in the field before numerous shots at that distance at the range with a rifle whose caliber would be sufficient for such distances and quality optics for said distance.

many squirrels, but towards the end of this past deer season, after watching about 6 blue birds dart back in forth in the air playing with each other, one just decided to make a break for the man shaped tree and veer off at the last second to land on a limb right beside me. It scared me but that was the most bluebirds i have ever seen at once and the closest ive ever been to one.

Primos in most cases but on rare instances, ill go with H&S

Rifle because there is more range and power and in a 300WSM as it could take anything from whitetail to bear.

you really are an idiot. You are acting like an immature 10year old with these ridiculous questions.

Lucky Strike

Benelli Nova 20 guage at 7 yards.

Just watch the funny mannerisms of sqirrels and birds around me.

I would take the shot with careful aim and pay very close attention to where he goes.

Do it yourself, Why pay someone else to do something you can do yourself? seems to me like another excuse for americans to get lazy. We used to be self sufficient and now we are so dependent on foreign nations for so much. If China's money loaned to the US was converted into stock, they would own approximately 30% of America. And obama wants to borrow money from other countries to boost our economy...

ice cold IBC cream soda. everything tastes better from a glass bottle.

Never heard of him, who is he?

I have the Nikon Buckmasters scope with the BDC reticle and it has worked great for me. I made a perfect 260 yard shot on a deer this winter that i could not have made without it. I have shot up to 400 yards at the range with it.

Thermacell works great for me during bow season. Deer havent noticed it at all.

to catch a golden trout, turkey world slam, and the cutt-slam (on this website, article is awesome!).

Its about half and half. Like for my birthday on Monday we are having a fish fry so the past times we have gone fishing, we have kept almost all of them. I believe we have about 3 quart sized bags full and pair that with homemade french fries it should feed me and my brother. (haha just kidding that will feed my whole family)

I used a .410 for dove and rabbits with minimal success (except on an exceptional dove hunt but that was due to the land). To be honest i think a 20guage would do much better. up until now i have used a 20 guage for everything, the ammo is cheaper and it will kill a turkey just as good in your terrain as a 12 if not better. it is also generally lighter and would be easier to lug aroung in a mountainous terrain and a shorter barrel would be good for thick brush. Hope this helps!

that is the most absurd thing i have ever heard/

put it out of its misery. It is the right thing to do as well as the humane thing.

That is a great idea! you beat me to the punch haha because i was going to enter that myself.

i love it but wasnt blessed with the musical talent which is reuired to play it.

I completely agree! I jst hope the editors realize this as well and dont just pick who has the most points. They should look at the quality of their responses, not the quantity.

probably about $3000. I have a job after school because im 16 but i work hard and spend all my money on that. Hell of a lot better than spending it on weed like everyone else in my school!

AMEN!

Peterson's Hunting. They cover such a broad spectrum of hunting:bow, gun, turkey, deer, dangerous game, sheep, international, and national. Every kind of hunting has, at some point, been featured in Hunting. I would still take Field and Stream over it any day.

Montana definately. Not only because of the many species of animals you can hunt there, but also all of the amazing flyfishing there is. I am hoping to be able to go Montana State University after i graduate so that would be a wonderful experience.

500 nitro express

I do, i am curious about what kind of animals they hunt and if they have a lot of the same interests as I, then i will look and see what they like as i probably will too.

Inbetween 100 and 200 yards. My shortest shot this year was 95 yards and my longest was 260.

i don't. This probably is a stupid question, but what are they for? I know nothing.

I have always wanted to but never had the time as i have gotten preoccupied with fly-fishing, rifle hunting, bird hunting, and regular freshwater fishing.

Its a relatively old invention called feet. Everyone has them but some people believe ATVs are better but guess what? they cost money. Nothing beats good ol' footwork, elbow grease, time in the field, and all around hard work.

I would have to say Tim Romano. I mean he got to go fishing so many times before taking his honeymoon... and his wife let him!! And he is an amazing photographer and fisherman. So Romano it is!

I got suspended on one occasion and detention on the first occasion because of a women in a suggestive pose and outfit in the back of this magazine. Now i love this magazine but i find it ridiculous that you cant find plenty of other outdoors-related and wholesome ads to take its place.

The velvet is the antlers maturing and growing. As they core hardens, the velvet basically dies (like a callous or dead skin) so the bucks rub it off and actually eat it to gain more nutrients and protein.

On the home page on the right hand side, scroll down till you see "submit your picture" and that will take you to a section where you browse your files for the pic you want to submit and you write whatever you want to about it after that.

I always thought that was the normal thing to do! haha i always forget something. One time i even left my bullets, my clip full of bullets, and the spares i keep in my jacket so i wont be without them at the camp. I was chilly without my jacket but that was an amazing experience not having to worry about having to harvest an animal. It was very relaxing and allowed me to experience God's greatest creation, nature, in a way i have never experience it before. I didnt ever notice how specialized and dedicated each bird and squirrel is to its specific task. God is great.

I have the same problem.

First time i went hunting, i just used the camo i had for deer hunting (body and mask), a lynch's foolproof ox call, and my shotgun with a factory full choke that came with the gun. nothing fancy or special and called in a gobbler to 7 yards. you dont need everything when you start as long as you get out there and give it a shot is all that matters

only con i can think of is the cost. causes a massive entry wound which is extremely easy to track and my brother nicked one's shoulder blade and where others would deflect, the rage just kept on powering through.
