15 and 1 month.

If i had a gun and was in the woods alone and a bigfoot was there i would shoot it, and take the attacks about not shooting it in season.

canoes allow more space and versatility and can go in shallower depths without scaring fish so much as a john boat would.

wal-mart

never an airsoft gun you'd have better odds hunting with a slingshot all that's goingto do is scare the animal away I use them to get squirrells out of the feeder, I'd use an bb gun like the gamo. I wouldn't try to hunt turkey with a bb gun sounds pretty unethical.

.300, 12guage shotgun, mark III .22 pistol by ruger.

used containers of liquids then refill them with water and shoot away for real fun take something like a unopened pop can and shoot. it will spray out wherever you shot and is fun to see who can put the most holes in there can with a ten round clip as a challenge.

I would definetely not plan on hunting big game with a big game gun pretty much a really bad idea. You should first enter a hunter safety course. I would then from there depending on what your hunting a .22 is good for woods around your house for only about squirrels so I would go with the 20 gauge which allows you to hunt a large variety of game.

I used open sights for the my first hunt, but where I hunt it just wasn't practical not to use a scope.

cabelas I like looking at the bargain cave and they seem to have more sales.

.300 win mag

I personally have a .22 lr but the mag might be worth a try according to everyone else. (love the user name)

ruger .22 is my all time favorit but If i had to choose one for all around purpose i'd go with a remington 870 in 12 gauge

with a well placed shot I think you should be fine.

The lure control when fishing up by logs or anything else seems to have a little more control then trying to pitch a worm into some underbrush or a log on the side of the shore.

hunting in town, night hunting, deer on the road. 'nuf said.

nope, some people have been getting on F&S for some time about this though, I hope they make it a new years resolution or something. There will be some incredible videos.

neosporin, bandaids, gauze and scissors.

"man you put the pow wow diddy ow on that critter." is one of my favorite to use. meaning you really dropped the hammer on that animal.

I use a 30-30 for my rifle and a remington 370 junior (I believe) in 20 gauge and don't let anyone tell you it won't kill a turkey, duck, pheasent, or any other animal for that matter I've killed all of the above with it a knocked 'em dead.

A muskie I caught out of a river it was pure muscle and it just glimmered in the light.

read it and fell in love with it, I own the entire series now from hatchet to brian's hunt.

yeah I've gotten thumbs down on stuff to. whatever it happens, people know your pictures are good don't get to flustered by it.

a live worm (just a small one) with a real small aberdeen hook works great.

I carry a handgun on me for any emergency reason just the sound might discourage them if nothing else. sounds like it was something interesting.

I still am a kid and boy is it fun. I never want to grow up, so I guess i have no answer to this one.

if possible use a bass as live bait, (a little one) then put a treble hook in the front and a treble in the back. Then put a large sucker bobber on and wait for it to be dragged down slowly. The sucker bobbers are usually sold at any shop in musky territory or you could check local stores.

A lab is probably to go, I think there more versatile in the woods and in the water for whatever you may be hunting.

I used a 30-30 and I still use it today.

I totally agree with beekeeper's remark about getting rid of the points system or even if they just covered it up or something so people don't know how there doing and say something like oh I only need 1,000 more points to be 5 stars then F&S will send me gear. I better go way back in the answer pages and find 10 questions to answer so that I can have 5 stars.

I would have on problem going with the mossberg but it's all in your opinion and financial situation.

every chance I can get I like to try and get out and dove hunt.

You need to show to her that you want to have self discipline and show her how you want to provide food for the table and that the animals aren't helpless they are the healthiest form of nutrition and requires patience and practice.

I got to go with a lab seeing as that's the kind of dog sitting next to me right now chewing on her bone.

spruce trees are prime habitat for them to.

read all of dave B's posts

it only works if you do it soon after dispatching the bird. otherwise usually I just pull open the skin on the breast and detatch the wings. from there on usually a good pull is all it takes to get the breast to detatch with almost no cutting involved.

not sure what it's all about, I just think that turkeys may have a territorial problem and don't enjoy other birds being by them. So remember next time you kill a turkey your helping the other birds.

got a old military surplus bag that I store all them in with the heads and stakes tucked in there.

Central Wisconsin

20 gauge remington 870 good luck hunting.

20 guage would be the way to go.

doves or squirrel I don't think it's enough for grouse I prefer a 20 or 28 gauge.

Del and all other military folks on here I think we all owe you a thank you for what you've done for this country and protecting our freedom and rights. Palumbo there is nothing wrong with what you did to that guy because odds are his kids wouldn've grown up to be just as harrasing to our soldiers as the lady in the story.

I'm an american and a hunter I'll fight for my rights to the day I die or they pry them from my cold dead hands.

ruger .22 would be my first which really wasn't that long ago.

no, almost all of my trail cam pictures the deer walks in casually gets flashed sits down licks the salt block get's a couple more shots of it and walks away.

my teacher just asked this question the other day, we all replied with coffee, soda, or shower. My teacher replied he wakes up and yells as loud as he can. People are crazy

Yeah message boards are more about making a news story open or leaving something over for scrutiny while the answers on this site are like our form of being able to instant message people.

I carry water proof matches in a little twist case.

those gamo's sound pretty nice my uncle has one he declared war on squirrells in a somewhat urban area and he said you can't hear a thing. otherwise a plain old used ruger .22 will work fine.

that's a bunch of nonsense I've only been hunting a couple years and use a lever action 30-30 which is what I've used to kill two deer now where both fall in there tracks.

I use gulp with a lot of success here in WI I like the gulp alive for bass and other fish like that and use the gulp twister tails for walleye. another brand I like to use for walleye is Mister Twister exude, it's the same concept as gulp but is a longer tail and narrower body.

I don't consider it hunting but if gets you in the woods and hunting go ahead and do it as long as you don't forget to get the kids involved.

I'd sit on the ground with a new gerber saw I got it'd be a quick fix to hack some branches and bring a pad. but cabela's sells some of those one person blinds that look real light weight they might be worth a try.

Being a citizen then a sportsman I understand that there is a lot of stuff going on that needs to be taken care of. There are things we all need to focus on such as the economy and others so right now I'd say that the outdoors will probably take a back seat to everything else until it all gets cleared up.

Ted nugent because who else can wear a american flag for a shirt and tote a bow around town.

I use a buck knife.

they make me sick I was just talking today to a guy who told me of a situation where this happened. He told me of seeing two bucks one six pointer and one nice 8 pointer who were shot had the horns cut and dumped we both couldn't believe that they would do something like this. I understand that it's totally illegal but the fact that they didn't take there worthless time and use the meat makes me the most angry.

hunt from a stand every time never once shot a deer not being in one.

I like granoala bars without chocolate cover or they'll melt for lunch I carry a sandwich in a plastic baggie and usually a waster bottle with a shoulder strap or if I have cup holders in a pack I'll bring a gatorade.

any local gun show should always contain at least one knife salesman or you can go to cheaperthandirt.com and get a reproduction.

I take a call and my 12 gauge then sit real quiet like with a couple decoys out then when they come to land in your fake flock knock 'em out of the sky.

I fish trout with a real thin 4 lb. line or 2lb line seem to work then I put a small split shot about 6 inches up from the hook and just hook it like you regularly would a worm.

every animal I'ver ever shot has been under the 50 yard range.

I see most of my deer in the afternoon during the early season and bow season, then rifle hunting comes and I see all my deer in the first couple hours then not again.

don't think they have county records but if you do find out a way to figure it out let me know.

almost none I would call it safe to compare with a heavy .22 unless you have sensitive shoulders or something.

became a squirrel ace when I was about 7 and stalked the backyard with a bb gun.

muskie because they seem like a little gift that you can catch every now and then even when your not fishing and give you good bragging rights.

I've spotlighted deer before simply for the pleasure of watching them in there habitat and see what there up to at night so hate me but I see nothing wrong with it as long as it's legal for you to do it. So I say there's nothing wrong with looking at deer we all enjoy seeing deer so what make's it so bad to do it at night with a bright light.

yeah, clear water it's a very useful piece of epuipment and can keep you from sitting in that one spot forever hoping there's fish down there before moving. I've not yet used it for ice fishing but for summer fishing I saw hundreds of bluegills under the boat that never got picked up by the sonar. I probably wouldn't go with a generic brand for a under water camera though, spend the extra money and get a aqua vu.

scent blocker is a brand of carbon activated clothing and scent shield is a line of products such as sprays, soaps, and field wipoes. these are two products that I trust

only a matter of time, and you'll be shooting 400fps bows and broadheads that shrapnel in the deer or expand like modern bullets.

The 30-06 would work but look up in marlinfireams.com or in one of there ads which are usually free near the entrance of a sporting goods store I think they have a 45-70. They specifically advertise it as a bear defense weapon.

coons would have to be my choice seeing as there the one's you hear about in the news most often.

best to take it to a professional, but make sure that your poundage is pretty good and that you aren't shooting to heavy of a arrow.

I would use a bolt for sitting in a stand because usually bolt actions are for larger calibers which means farther distance but would use a semi auto if I was driving.

only all the time, I've also considered photography for a magazine like F&S.

for a high tech thing I would have to go with a gps or if you aren't totally gone from civilization a cell phone.

Scent Blocker dream season Pro boots DON'T mind these other statements I tried this boot on and it's more comfortable than a warm fire place watching the snow outside and wearing wool lined slippers drinking a cup of hot chocolate. that's how serious I am about these boots I have a cheaper pair of the scent blocker boots and the shin length not knee and they are awesome.

I tried to start a fire with a flint striker and magnesium on a windy day and the magnesium kept getting spread out and blown away but I couldn't make a pile then.

i've seen peackock before just walking through the woods. I probably would have left the llama alone and asked some questions about it or something to the local DNR you never know what's going on.

long as they don't control your life like most people my age, I don't have any problems with them there a good means of communication when there's no house phone. just don't talk and drive with them.

this is funny, I had this conversation a while back about still hunting partridge by their food source.

he makes turkey calls

I hope you don't plan on using your airsoft gun for hunting because it isn't going to do much but I'd look at cheaperthandirt.com where they've got a pretty good selection with some good guns.

I've been thinking about one of those, but I don't have the money or the need to go do that. I still have a PSE that works amazing.

they make some of those egg traps that are just little cups with a lid over the top so a dog can't get it's foot in there. you simply put in a piece of dead fish or chicken and aluminum foil and when they reach in the trap sets and holds there paw along the side of it. if you don't have the option to use these go with the live trap cause that coon hunter will be madder than any coon you catch. try using something dead fish or game it'll work good.

where about in Wisconsin do you live, I'm in the Wisconsin Rapids area.

welcome back, good to have a younger perspective like my own. no disrespect to the older guys intended.

I've used everything from corn to blocks and I think that the blocks are the way to go something they can lick on and stays there a long time, I've seen deer become nocturnal with corn so I'm against it. this year I used some special golden estrous and made a scent drag down a scrape line and brought a big 'ol eight following down it. couldn't get my bow off it's hook in time.

tasty, matouse beat me to it.

yes, it's legal but you can't put out more than 2 oz. hopefully you get to read this before forgetting about it.

.410 is the way to go you put out plenty of shot and a little package so it's real easy to put 'em down.

I believe don't quote me on this that the person you asked was a complete idiot if he was an employee there because I'm pretty sure that field and stream is dick's generic brand of stuff and isn't actually made by this field and stream.

i'm gonna go buy me a new vest some time here with the christmas cash. it's either a nice mothwing camo one with the seat or a scentblocker one that will be usable for both deer and turkey hunting purposes. I just got a new monopod and have been perfecting the diaphram calls.

wait a couple years for the deer to understand this and put in a food plot, some cover and open areas for bedding and they'll probably catch on then try hunting the entrance funnels that you built and scout around it but stay out of it.

yeah, maybe driving well talking on your cell phone would be more fitting

30-06 for everything which is what I think your saying -nuff said.

seeing as you want to hunt both deer and turkey you'll need a shotgun with probably .12 gauge as a safe bet. Then you'll need to buy some quality slugs to shoot with them.

live bait because they seem addicted to it and will almost hit it no matter what.

I take the fish and put them in a tub of water then put them in a bag of bisquick like shake and bake chicken, then put them in a skillet with cooking oil and let them sit until there browned. For added taste cook some bacon in the skillet before putting the fish in there.

you bet, you been out doing some deer swattin' like I was.

got mine today, I felt like a million bucks. I just wished it would've been for each fish I entered and said the species.

flour, seasoning salt, vegetable oil brought to a boil, flip, and enjoy.

I believe petzal had a discussion like this a while ago, most of us all agreed on the cabela's outfitter and gore optifade being the best all around camoflauge no matter where you hunt.

Big O couldn't have said it any better. my idea is the fair and ethical pursuit of wild game for a natural and healthy lifestyle that this country was founded on and something nobody will ever take from me.

forgive and forget your pup, the memories spent once they get it right are priceless. don't linger on the mistakes and weimeraners are happy little pups and absolutely love the woods so be ready for them to just run around and explore while you do all the bird searching.

carrots or lettuce work good for the little bunnies. if you do happen to get a cat have something like a stick with a v on the end so that you can get away if he seems to be a angry one.

I just pull them off, They never seem to be on there to long before I notice. A good thing to do is always just feel your head and then when your taking a shower just look around to make sure none are latched in anywhere else. If you find them before to long you'll have no issues just pulling them off. On your dog if they've been on there a longer time simply use a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and then leave it on them until they come undone and dispose via toilet or any other way you feel these bloodsuckers deserve to die.

live bait it's the most realistic thing your going to get no matter what Gulp! tells me. take that.

I use spinners, rapalas, worms and whatever you think a bass would be likely to eat. there are so many baits you just got to find a bait that works for you and fish it however you want. On a different note this website shouldn't be used to advertise your website.

at least you didn't forget to load your gun the final morning. first time i unloaded my gun the whole weekend was the night before and I forgot to load it in the morning. luckily nothing showed up other wise I wouldn't forgive myself.

The only kind of blood trail flash light I know of is the primos bloodlight. I've heard different opinions about, some claim there worthless and others say they wouldn't have ever found the deer without it so I'd try one before I buy one perhaps a buddy could loan you his.

going to give this a try right now, thanks for the advice.

Wish I could, but don't have the deer to do that. your a good man Clay.

I shoot easton XX75's they are aluminums but very straight shooting and light weight aluminums.

20 or 12 gauge works and I usually use 3.5" mags will put 'em down.

I've had success with a blaze orange color and I believe it's white also that works efficiently.

a leatherman

1. MUSKIE!, they fight like a train 2. northern 3. walleye even though they don't fight that well

I think the buck ones look pretty cool but I have to go with synthetic for there durability.

my hunter safety teacher told me more times than I could count that doctors kill more people every year then hunters.

30-30 is a good little rifle that get's the job done. remember don't give up after you have a dissapointing season if I had done that I wouldn't be hunting now. I went two seasons of missing a couple deer and they always stayed to far away. Remember to that most of those outdoor channel hunts are guided game reserve hunts where they grow monsters, don't be to skimpy shoot a deer when it comes it'll be your happiest moment ever. good luck and welcome to the brotherhood.

20 gauge is the way to go if you want an all in one except for me it doesn't get the job done as well as I'd wish for waterfowl and don't let anyone tell you differently that it won't kill a turkey at 30 yards I dropped one in it's tracks last fall.

PSE for sure, hate to disagree with Big O's logic but other then speed the matthews bow will cost you a bit more cause if you want to grow with it your going to probably want to silence it. A pse nova was my first bow and that thing is deadly as all get out.

.223 works quite good or my uncle uses a 12 gauge with buck shot in it and he's usually pretty succesful.

I would do it all day.

that venison is the true trophy take the little feller. the time will come when your given the opportunity for a big boy.

I was hoping to do the same thing some time just do some studies on different things in different states, just kind of sucks I'm kind of a money person. but I guess I'd rather have a fun job then a boring one.

I don't know but it could be life threatening if I don't get the items on my christmas list. (to long to be put here)

yep, it just gives you a rush that's like nothing else. It's my drug

If we tightened our border patrol and all made these illegal aliens who can't take the time to fill out some paper work take a test and sing the star spangled banner should not be allowed into a country like ours, and who cares what the human rights people think. PETA'S latest thing is that they want the canada to stop taking fur off seals to make coats. so i say let 'em have it keep these lazy people off american soil.

old mossy oak probably I'm not sure what the brown one is.

yep, just recently did that.

sure do like turkeys but I've got to go with deer it's just something totally different.

bow then rifle, bow is a lot more time to hunt and it requires a little more skill. I'm not dissing rifle but I really think your more one with the hunt with bow.

My first year I think I won't have much of a trapline, but maybe on a recreational or pest control basis.

my rule of thumb is bigger than my hand in length and width or about 8 inches or bigger usually work.

It's possible that it was a bluegill but the first fish that I can remember actually catching was a northern right next to the boat.

Umm not as far as I know (wisconsin). maybe I'll get on them after my experiment about the food plot thing.

garmin Etrex.

look at this month's issue. they say that the best day was Nov. 11th. anybody want to let me know if I'm right?

yep, just a practical joke we play every year on each other in deer camp. I put my first buck in a tree by my grandpa's stand.

Dick's field and stream brand (as far as I know) is not related to this company but just there generic brand and there using the name.

I would say try it if you got the money and if it's the hot ticket you'll be glad. I really doubt that it will scare them away since it smells like food.

I believe I'll be making some money this coming week and buying some acorn rage blast. I hope that the does will be hungry get a wiff and bring the big boy with them. I might also be using some doe in estrous since the does will be in peak breeding right then, from what I can tell.

Wisconsin finally recognized that there are mountain lions in the state. After some hunters treed it with there hounds while bobcat hunting and had picture proof.

killed squirrels at about six years old with a pellet gun with dad.

no, I simply hunt from where my stand is set up and use scent away I still see deer.

grow up people nobody cares about your points or nothing if you aren't on here for the right reason then get out of here if you can't agree that people have there opinions to bad I don't care who's sticking up for who or who is putting you down it's just a bunch of people behind a computer talking with there hands which is exactly what I'm doing so I'm not being a hypocrite in saying that.

you could see how he responds to a grunt if he starts checking it out and putting his head high and tail up give him a snort wheeze or another grunt based on how ready to fight he is. other wise it's going to be really tough without some luck.

I'm quite the mossy oak fan so I'll advocate that if your hunting in a tree the treestand seems to do a good job or on the ground the break up does a good job. remember though sitting still and scent control are much more important factors.

1 classic floating rapala 2 twister tail 3 suick 4 topwater frog 5 mepps spinners

a spoon or it's called a daredevil works great with a retrieve then let it flutter for a bit and keep reeling it in. You can also you soft swimbaits or twister tails with jigheads. I caught my largest northern on a spinnerbait though pulling it over the weeds.

umm. not agreeing so much with 2 of the 3 here. nobody wants to destroy there prized pond and I'm not such a fan of poaching. contact a local trapper, put adds out for miles from your home. People who trap otters will come and you may get interest from more then one trapper depending on the average otter population. once the sets are made you will likely have your problem solved and some trappers who are very thankful of you at the rate otter fur prices are.

Lesserson, I hear you there you can't plant them in your yard without them getting devoured. as far as hunting goes acorns work really well deer love them.

scent away spary is about 5 dollars or for about 7 you can get field wipes that you rub yourself and your clothing down with. If your really cheap take leaves and some dirt then rub them on your clothes.

nope been seeing some but, no shots. I was hoping to go tonight doesn't sound very likely now though.

I drug a drag with some special golden estrous to my stand, a 8 pointer came following that in couldn't get a shot though.

if your walking a long distance where your feet start to sweat invest in some underarmour wicking ones or some scentblocker ones so that they won't smell.

Big O once again I really like Matthews but it takes some sound precautions. I went with a PSE and after just a little sound precautions it's silent and deadly.

my first deer hunt and turkey hunt.

I got a doe in the early season would still like another steaks deer and another sausage deer. (a big boy would be nice.)

I don't necessarily disagree with the quartering toward you shot, my deer was shot that way I took both the lungs and the top part of the heart off, and damaging nothing else. That deer didn't even move a inch from where I shot.

I believe I am going to get a pack rack next year, I don't have any sheds to use and am usually a light weight hunter.

I would be searching really hard, but sounds as if you should've given it some more time to lay there, could've been a non-vital hit so definetely another shot would work good.

I've heard they work and really illuminate the blood. I've never needed to blood trail any of my deer though.

should be interesting to see how large these brutes are going to be coming out of that state.

I'd go roosevelt elk hunting in Alaska.

still hunting is the way I was raised to hunt.

I've got one i haven't hunted with it I'm to connected to my 30-30 but I've shot it and it seems accurate, little bit of a kick to it though. The kicks not to bad though.

finally the DNR in Wisconsin will realize that there are cougars in wisconsin after some bobcat hunters treed one in spooner.

venison or partridge and my favorite fish is probably perch.

on a wolf hunt in Idaho with the governor.

there would be a little hesitation but I'd have to gun him down like everyone else says it's probably a important statistic of some sort to see where this deer traveled or maybe it has some weird genetics that make it have super awesome tasting venison.

don't break the law is my only advice I'd feel find shooting with a couple pics.

kill a big boy with that rifle and show him first.

can't go wrong with the blue and silver pattern.

my number 1 would probably be a jig like they say it can be fished for almost anything but my other one would have to be a floating rapala.

didn't you have a question like this a while back about fishing in winter time.

nope there normal, I live in central wisconsin and there all over here. I played hockey in marinette last year pretty far up there from where I'm from.

i must admit that i do have a bait caster but i rarely use it where i fish and don't find it worth the money I'd rather get three different spinning rod and reel combos of different size and line strength.

Just be on here for the right reason is all I have to say nobody likes it when someone comes on here with no valid information. points will come in time so just hang out and have fun using the website. I'll spoil all the fun you don't get gear for a long time these people are the sarchastic bunch of the group a lot of them are the old timers on here and still haven't got to test gear.

you can't tear the treestand down otherwise it could cause a problem. So you could politely leave a note or maybe try to make this into a good situation and find a way to use it to your advantage.

C: I know those squirrels are going to turn on me some day for always spitting at them and occasionally urinating upon them for trying to sabotage my hunt.

got to look like the look of wood, especially something with a design on it like checkering just gives it that classic gun feel to it. Although synthetic may be lighter and more durable I'm giving the edge to wood.

field points will work but if your looking to be real technical go to cabelas.com and almost all name brand broadheads make a pest control one.

good deal I have that same bow there real nice with a little silencing measures taken there ultra quiet and light weight.

lovetohunt nailed it I've got the same one for walking in partridge land and it works good for a really cheap price tag.

I've recently been upset with the air activated warmers, I just got a bit of money today I believe it's time to invest in some good gloves and socks because I'm sick of being cold.

I usually just go by how many points sometimes there a 10 pointer and other times it might only be a nubber... ooh wait were talking about deer here. yeah the same rule applies there.

I am a trapper and the link to hunting is so vastly important that people don't understand, without hunting there is a very very few ammount of trappers and not enough of them to protect it from being outlawed by animal rights coo coo heads, we are under the umbrella of hunting and the NRA and without it there would no longer be one of the most precise ways of taking care of nuisance animals such as beavers, muskrat and coon. So the combination between hunters and trappers is vital if hunters turn against trappers there will be nobody except the trappers left to defend them, destroying another beautiful and god given right in this country.

I've done this and it makes sense that it would work all your doing is airing it out and getting those natural odors in there and getting rid of the rest of them.

looked him up on google images what a beast, I'd give him a 10, (going back to squirrelgirls question)

for me a nice 8 pointer is worthy of a shoulder mount. all bucks get a bit of recognition and at least get the antlers chopped off and put somewhere. but just remember you can't eat bones.

take it, if I didn't shoot my first little buck against my grandpa's will I wouldn't have shot a deer until a couple years later and likely would've quit hunting because hunting needs to have a aspect of fun to it.

how about you take a little bit of both, if I had to say though I'd go with the double lungs your going to get more blood out of it.

ha that's a good one. I'll let him come to our house and get here to.

I won't let myself use it. every time you shoot your ejecting about a 1.05 out of the reciever. I'm not saying it's bad ammo it looks like it works good but I don't have that kind of expendable income, I'm going to stick with my normal about $10 a box federal from wal-mart.

you just start planning the next trip and hopefully have more luck. Also what I do is maybe fish for something else such as panfish because there usually in abundance.

Nothing can beat it put in a little butter with some seasoning salt on it and potatos on the side.

#1 mepps aglia in black and brown or a #1, #0 comet mino with silver spinner.

empty the clip on the idiot that fool doesn't realize the greatness of this man protecting that kids freedom so he could sit around and do his heroin or whatever else.

my zone is more like a 50 cent piece if I can land 3 shots in or really close to that I feel comfortable that I can hit a deers vitals which are much larger then that area.

every animal has a weak spot, you hit that spot and you can kill that animal. I am a firm believer in this philosiphy and would drop that bear with a throat or eye shot.

willy's jeep all day baby.

according to the snopes website (a website that uncovers hoaxes) the blair-holt act is a fake thing but don't hate me I'm just saying what I've seen.

for the past four years I've been using a buck fixed blade knife a guy at Gander Mt. said he'd had the same one for nearly 40 years.

I've tried buck jam and it worked decently for the deer although it seemed to work better for bears. usually just a trophy block works well, by the legal ammount that is.

not a bad deal at all. now who's this buddy of yours, how do I get a hold of him? haha just kidding.

I sent an email just the other day. you have a very nice wife Big O please convey to her again that she's in my prayers. I also hope that maybe you could return the favor I just recently had a friend in a car accident he's not doing so well but sounds like he'll make it.

I've killed a three pointer as my biggest buck and I'm proud of it. I've had two encounters now with nice bucks one being a 10 pointer and a 9 pointer.

yeah I know people who hunt way less than that, 15 that should be fine.

it snowed by me but, didn't get skunked.

1 camo 2 gun 3 warm clothers 4 knife 5 a place to stay and have fun, to get away from civilization.

A doe and two partridges.

shoot the coyote, sit around and enjoy the moment being away from everything and disconnected from the outside world.

Big O beat me I had it in my head before I even clicked the question PRACTICE is the key to success.

go to the local post office and buy a plat book and check to see if someone owns those sections of woods if they do ask them very politley and in a mature way if it would be alright to hunt that land if they say no, then leave it. If you still can't tell if there private or public contact your local agency in charge of that kind of stuff and tell them the location.

I wasn't hunting but we were in a area I like to hunt and a crop duster ran out of gas and made an emergency landing in a prairie chicken management field about 500 yards from us it was quite interesting to see. everyone has a dream and one of mine is to hunt with Ted, but I don't have that kind of money so I guess I'll watch him on TV instead.

middle of the rut and I saw a little spike come walking out and make a rub on a tree and walk around like he was hot stuff would've liked to see a big old 10 pointer come and see how tough he was.

I've heard of using boiled noodles to as worms or grubs. I've also caught bluegill on gummy worms and other things.

Here in WI, we skipped the frost and moved straight to the snow nothing like a little wisconsin weather for you I'm sure it'll be in the high 70's in a couple weeks then go to below zero the day after.

flambeau soft sided tackle boxes I got mine on sale for like $15 came with three boxes and another pocket with two side pouches for soda or other stuff.

The best place for walleye in all of Wisconsin is the Wisconsin river. You can also try in lake winnebago.

who said anything about leaving I've got a stockade of ammo, guns and a ghillie suit. start with the rifles then move to the sks and when they decide to get close it's time for the pistol. Wolverines are a good back up plan though.

I've got to go with the scum frog for stuff in weeds and other stuff and probably a buzzbait for all other purposes.

I'd have to go with a texas rigged worm.

laws are laws best not to break them. I share your feelings on this situation and would feel like doing the same thing.

same problem here.

Yeah my high school gets a couple fights they haven't started yet but people are counting down the days until one will.

I also live in Wisconsin, I did bow not hunt at all this past month I plan on going for my first time next month. What part of Wisconsin do you live in?

yeah the teeny torpedo works awesome, You may have to big of a size for the fish, I've used the model that you stated and caught about five fish with it in my life time, every one of the fish I caught though was about 20 inches.

Pennst8 I have already done stuff like this on there peta website, fishinghurts, and the youtube channel I have left comments under there stuff calling them whack jobs and giving information to back up whatever the subject they are talking about and why hunters do what they do.

Make sure he isn't watching you and isn't nervous then move in and no his escape paths.

I don't think you need to use anything else I've whacked squirrels with them.

I don't know if I would suggest them for to much but the brand that I would use would be lumenok.

.22 all the way.

suick's are a great way to go for fall fishing.

never heard of this law I guess rules are rules but I'd probably do the same thing and at least try and get the fine taken down a little more.

wooly bugger.

yeah I probably would and let me tell you I'd still enjoy the meat just as much.

yeah we put it in a special detergent then put it in bins in a back room then before we start hunting just as a added precaution we spray on spray stuff. i'm going to probably get some scent lok stuff for this fall but I'd still spray it down.

I don't totally agree that they don't get tangled because any time there's a loop inside of the spool you can't see it to tell if you should pull it out. I've had a spin cast rod totally wrecked because of that.

at night with a pretty large hook and whatever bait you use may it be worms or cut game fish. You should also put weights on so it stays on the bottom.

I don't see it as a bad idea I usually take a snack it helps actually to make it easier to sit longer with a little food in the bellly.

if you catch her during the act give her a good swat to the butt but not to hard and put her nose by it then throw her outside for a while while telling her no. don't worry it happens and you;ll look back on it and make you laugh in years to come because odds are they'll be great.

watch squirrels and spit on them then just sit there and wish a deer would come by so you could get this over with

i really like my marlin 30-30 works great.

first and foremost you need luck. then you'll need to set your drag at a more loose then tight setting. then it'll help to use a small steel leader nothing to big just for safety precaution so he doesn't snap your line with his teeth. right now I'd say that working the weed lines is your best bet with a larger bait then you'll be used to throwing with a bass rod I'd suggest maybe a mepps #5 or whatever the largest size clackin' rap you can cast with comfortably. right now in the late summer time the fish will be more agressive in the mornings and in the afternoon and will be usually ambushing from the weeds where they can hide and take cover from the sun. Good luck and good fishing. and just a reminder keep your rod tip high don't let them pull under the boat if you can cause your regular mono or whatever you have on your line isn't going to be used to this kind of tension and won't rub so well against the side of the boat so when he makes a dive let the drag burn and let him take as much line as he needs.

.270wsm

bluegill will bite anything I've caught them with peices of grass attached to a hook.

I'm 15 and I shoot a PSE Nova at around 53#.

mepps musky killer. mepps.com

last year hunting during a youth hunt I was posted in a patch of trees surrounded by field and my step dad and we were finishing up hunting and he did a one man drive he said "be ready for a deer to come I think there's one in here but if you hear somehting don't turn around." So I'm sitting there pactiently then af few minutes later i hear the typical deer crunch, crunch, crunch. I waited for it almost shaking with anticipation then as it neared within feet of me behing the tree I finally turned my head out of anticipation and not two feet from my face a grey squirrell was it freaked out and I've never seen one of them climb that quickly up a tree it gave me a bit of a scare to.

I shoot it at the range at about 100 yards.

I would tell them up theres.

two options One: you could buy bug proof clothing which is a lot like underarmour. Two: Scent blocker makes a product called "no stinkin' ticks" it's a spray that's supposed to repel them.

walk the edge's of field and pine trees and wait for them to fly out then gun them down. I also like to drive down roads with public land on the side then looking for them up on the road picking grit or in a tree then chasing them into the woods and shooting them.

fill up the gun then usually about three more or so.

when I use them I don't think they work to great I don't plan on using them this year and would rather just put on more layers.

a butterfly net and a light at night.

what the **** not a clue what this stuff is.

I like my buck fixed blade knife I got it for around 40 some dollars. I like your profile picture.

doesn't matter to a deer. they just jump over it any ways I watched one hunting show where every deer that was around him jumped over the fence to eat and then back over it again to get out.

yeah on one of the older man's best friends blog someone put a hole huge post on there about some dog treats dave and others should get thankfully some other people figureg that this isn't right and down voted it to I haven't seen anything since.

I hope that it kills him in a week and he be da**ed to hell for what he did o america.

as stated above it's to much of a risk to miss by a narrow margain and shoot that deers jaw off or maybe his nose and then you've caused that animal more suffering then need be and it's not for certain how long it will take that animal to die or if it will.

I usually use those air activated hand and feet warmers but I haven't had the best of luck with them lately so this year I got some scent blocker gloves to keep a little heat and I'm going to get one of those things that is like a hooded sweatshirt pocket you can put your hands in.

You just never know what your friends will do. remember though you still owe them one.

first two hours of morning and last two hours of hunting.

the pike may have some impact on the trout in there seeing as the essox species of fish which is pike and musky usually feed on a special species of fish that include perch, walley, trout, suckers and any fish pretty much that is longer than it is wide. but I would use a twister tail or rapala.

what kind of rest are you using if your using a normal rest or a whisker biscuit it could slow down your speed by a little but not enough to make a impact. if speed is that important to you use a drop away rest.

I'm going to be a sophmore going into high school but luckily I've got a good enough base of friends that hunt I don't think I'll have much to worry about. mattreney has a good idea I wish we had one.

I really like my PSE nova it works awesome and is a youth size bow with a big bow attitude.

i've clicked on a couple of ads that cought my eye.

Ted Nugent would be like a nuclear bomb to this website you'd never see so many second ammendment fighting outdoorsman in one place.

the anti-hunters won't complain when there poodles get killed by a wolf they'll simply go. Oh how cute I better not intrude on nature and it's ways I guess I'll go sit inside and eat some tofu and drink my soy milk while listening to some opera CD and watching oprah. there I've vented enough about these idiots to society.

I think northern wisconsin is going to be a contender with a lot of unchecked woods. hopefully he comes past my stand cause I'll be glad to drop the hammer on his day.

glad to hear it del that your giving a kid a new perspective to the world and that yours and other contributions have made him a better student.

possible but I don't think it's plausible it'll come form somewhere very secluded where nobody is going to know about it in the deep woods maybe northern Wisconsin or even canada is a contender in my mind. The second spot if I had to guess will be some farmers soy bean field where he has the deer down to a pattern where he can tell you where it'll put it's foot down on the ground.

I bought a crow call they are very inexpensive. One of the best things I've ever used though is a tape that you can use to mimic almost any crow situation.

I start in a week and one day day from right now. :( sad face

Great name don't think I would've thought of something like that.

I'm 15.

pflueger echelon

mistertwister.com

don't do it on the website please with posts.

to much. some drunk idiot who kills a person gets of with what was it a month in jail and he just gave the family a large chunk of his paycheck.

I'd by a mossberg 500 for 65$ is it 12 gauge. you should put another post about it or something.

I don't care if you call someone out on a important fact or something but who cares if you want to tYPE WITH YOUR CAPS ON. SOME ARGUMENTS ARE BEST LEFT TO YOURSELF.

yeah walthers and lugers were the main pistols back then luger was a little rarer and usually only given to the officers and MP's. I personally didn't care for the movie the best it wasn't as accurate to the real story as I hoped it would be but what do you expect from a tom cruise movie he has to get himself in a couple of gun fights to look cool. I've been thinking about seeing the movie public enemies though.

I'm a NRA member and proud of it.

.223 is a good caliber.

the block works for everything.

during the pre rut when a monster buck walks past challenging him to a fight can make a difference and make sure it sounds natural don't do a young buck grunt cause he'll know that something is up when a little guy wants to start a fight with him. also when things are slow try using the doe bleat about twice to see if there's any big boys around looking to get it on.

bow hunting is the best if you ask me it's more skill required and personal.

powerbait makes a soft plastic lizard with a curly tail that when used in spring when bass are on there beds are extremely effective because bass see lizards as a threat to there eggs.

ted nugent, michael waddell, jim zumbo, bill dance, lee and tiffany lakosky and jim shockey. I do agree that it bothers me when people constandtly pitch there products in the television show but hey what ever as long as I get my fill of hunting.

a quote i heard from big O a while back "the only bad question is a question not asked" now in my mind that applies to most things and I believe the point has finally got across that we don't need a what's the best rifle or how do you catch bass question all the time.

all in your opinion, I shoot a pse but I can't necessarily influence you to do the same it's how you feel shooting a certain bow wether you want a larger bow such as a matthews or a smaller bow like a martin it's up to you.

scum frog I just got one and it works pretty good.

I'd start at 60 and along with staying physically fit you can work the poundage back up to that 70 mark and really I don't think you'd need to much higher then 70lbs that's just my thought.

I would do the same thing probably there's a point where you need to control the herd in a group of that magnitude and in conservation terms that's considered harvestable surplus.

I would like to get a buck with a drop tine some time in my life it seems to me they just have something special about them.

yeah you should be able to cut them off with some deer smarts see if they are headed one way on the side is there places for them to dissapear into timber or other things.

fish at night to.

Sounds fun I got two more weeks than I go to my grandma n Grandpa's house up north for muskie fishing then to the boundary waters.

What I'd do if your no into getting one knife is buy the pack of them from rapala.com there's like 30 knives in there and there not to expensive.

I really like how them rapala one's work.

kate or liberty you could call her libby for short.

I'd name her kate seeing as my mom wouldn't let us name our puppy that.

In WI you can take one unless you are in a herd control zone which gives you another tag plus the one you already have. In herd control zone you can buy extra antlerless tags also.

not a whole lot up that way you'll have to come south even as far as below wausau if you want to do some fly fishing. the best spot for fly fishing is the michigan coast or the south west corner of the state.

move out of the way if your in a trail then the sides may provide cover and time for you to do what it takes and hopefully your friend gets the idea to. if possible you should try and climb a tree or something so the irate buck can't reach you.

look around on a atlas for marshy areas which can be road accessed and also try the wisconsin river.

assuming your in a shotgun zone then your best bet is a 12 gauge but otherwise my first gun was a 30-30 and I did fine killing two deer with one shot each. so good luck and good hunting. P.S don't shoot llamas. is a good point.

find a used .270 or my favorite is what I use a lever action 30-30 they both work great and you can look around for a used one or ask family if they have any guns they'd be willing to sell to you.

it'd have to be a shotgun as I've posted before on many of the posts the same as this it's the most versatile weapon and this is the same answer everyone else who posts the same question is going to get.

topwater white shark fishing off the coast of australia. it'd be for research or something though according to the laws or something.

outdoor life. fur,fish & Game. American hunter. B.A.S.S just about any outdoor material I can get my hands on but can't think of right now.

you have to make it interesting every time you go to grab the dummy get a real hyper vibe coming from yourself and just act downright silly and get her all excited and psyched to see what's making you so excited and when she sees the dummy she'll get the connection and get all excited about the dummy to.

3 pointer all the way and let me tell you the meat that came off him was more delicious then any rack that could have came off him.

minigunner makes a good point go to craiglist and post a ad "looking for working bow around $50" someone is bound to help with the cause.

Trout unlimitited actually sells items on there website such as fly rods with the TU emblem on them and a special reel used for fundraising purposes at local chapters.

I've been around hunting since I can remember but where we live I couldn't hunt until I was twelve so i suppose that's been 3 seasons now.

I use scent eliminator I haven't been in many situations where i've seen it actually work yet but I have to believe it works.

same thing as for musky only there a little more pike like so try something with a lot of flash. If you do catch any tiger muskies let me know or something at least what you caught them with. There getting to be a rare thing now it seems.

I like using a ar-15, it's light weight and packs enough punch at a distance.

walker or a blood hound, but I don't see anyghing wrong with a lot of the answers above such as Blue tick. I probably wouldn't take my beagle coon hunting though seeing as it takes a lot of swimming and chasing and when a beagle and a big raccoon get in a fight I don't see it ending as well as you'd hope.

underarmour and the cold gear long sleeve and a gore-tex jacket usually more then enough

Although I like zumbo's down to earth style. Ted Nugent has every word he says in his head before he says and means everything he says. He is an all out constitution defending, gunsling, rock playing, dirty hairy american in all respects.

I do like fishing a green pattern popper in clear water but I did get success fishing with a bright orange one in dark water.

the only bad question is a question not asked at all I heard this from a good person on this website a long time ago.

A river runs through it is one of my favorite fishing movies even though there isn't a whole lot of fishing involved.

I don't have any opinion here and don't even really know what the argument is about but I would like to point out that I don't believe this argument is meant for other people to put there opinion in. I believe this isn't your argument to be voicing your opinion this is between Clay and Hjohn.

blaze orange is a must have no matter what in the fall almost any time you go into the woods. but for dove decoys flambeau makes some good ones with a little clip on the bottom of them to put them on whatever.

don't be on here to get gear it's getting to be to regular of a thing I come on here and see someone with 50,000 points in a matter of days it's starting to get to me but whatever I know I'm on here for the right reason and so are a lot of people. I've been on here since the winter and only ask or answer questions I seem fit. I haven't test gear yet and don't plan to because of people on here being gear hunters. I personally rather see F&S get rid of the gear giving away at a later time because I seem there is way to many people on here just going to try and get gear.

Go to the IGFA website and look on there.

my step dad used to when they'd go partridge hunting during one of the antlerless only hunts back in the day with all his friends he'd carry a .357 desert eagle with him in case they ever jumped a deer I think he may have killed one with it.

for me I enjoy both but would say a rustic back lake with an eagle nest and good fishing is the best.

perch are my fave. 2 bluegill 3 any other panfish 4 walleye

primos "the" can is the way to go. Make sure when you tip the can though you get it fully level and don't shake it.

captain brad makes a good point the name's alone make it hard to compare the two and if I had to say though it'd be cabela's which contains lots of fishing stuff and hunting more hunting stuff to. I also found that Cabela's does have knowledgable staff.

ruger for a lot of different guns. I do like marlin for there 30-30 and for handguns I got to go with smith & wesson even though ruger does make some quality handguns also.

or instead of asking you could just click on the more information about points and stars button.

Is everyone going to ask about this now I don't think it matters if your on here gaining valuable information not going back 6 months on the answer board and answering questions from then so you can get more stars in a short ammount of time.

don't worry field and stream knows about it and won't give any prize to somebody who has a 23 pound bluegill or 2500 pound bass.

i'd probably get a cheaper rifle and learn to love it as the same rifle.

20 gauge is what i got and I killed all my turkey with it so thats what I'd have to reccomend.

rebel crawfish is probably one of my favorite baits for smallies. even though a lot of minnow baits such as rapala work good to.

Congratulations, I just got the issue and was wondering who it was.

go to your DNR website which is usually under an address like the Wisconsin one which is wi.dnr.gov so check under your states website or try looking it up on google. That sheephead is a monster.

I like a pink headed jig and chartreuse tail with the little sparkles in it.

steve pretty much has it summed up the only other thing I can't think of anymore than that.

rudyglove I'm pretty sure you ask the same question as this just in different context and five times a day.

shot is the term used to describe the small bb's inside the shells.

yeah I have an old cane pole in my garage and go down to a local pond and put them over bluegill beds with a regular hook and a worm.

I would buy a ultraright rod and reel.

dogs are a great companion but make sure that you also ask yourself questions like am I to busy to give it enough attention, do i have the income to feed it and other needs and also where will it sleep tonight because it's going to be a big dog when it grows up. But definetely a dog is the way to go they are a life long friend that you'll cherish memories of forever.

I don't know who told you that but the 12 gauge is just fine and totally ethical.

rubber worms, or anything that matches natural forage such as rapalas or artificial leeches.

that guy would be shot then severely beat with the end of my gun, whenever I consider if something happened to my dog I know that whoever dare hurts my dog is going to pay whether it's an idiot in a field or a pack of wolves they better know that they f'd with the wrong person especially from the wolf point of view because they aren't a human life there just another animal in this world who hurt my dog and is going to pay.

My lowest comfort level for a bullet for deer is the 7.62X39 that is what I feel is the lowest caliber I'd shoot and feel comfortable enough about shooting.

elliot has about every store nailed but also check local bait shops for information on what other people have been catching and share anything you know. There is also a chance that the guy at the bait shop will have the baits your looking for but usually there a little high priced.

yes, I just wish the price was a little lower even by maybe two dollars so I could afford more of them and different kinds.

getting out there and trying different things until you find what works for you.

It's called a reaction strike, the jig itself is supposed to somehow represent the fish and the flash represents the way a dying baitfish or a group of them swimming looks. The spinner also adds noise.

.22 .230 30-06 are the three cartridges I would choose

early morning and late in the afternoon with a slower lunch time feeding in between where you can get agression strikes.

well, I think I'll have to check on the price and I just had my birthday yesterday so I've got some money now.

go to the class and your talking to a real human and getting hands on knowledge. I'm taking a trapper safety class because for what I know it's the best way to go how else are you supposed to know how to set a connibear trap a certain way in a hole in the ice or remove a live animal from the trap. So good luck and good hunting.

I feel that female deer isn't as tough to eat as a big buck it also has a more juicy taste this may just be me but that's what it tastes like to me.

me and my uncle used artificial worms yesterday with a lot of success.

yeah a similar question about bigfoot got more then a hundred answers a couple months ago I don't think these people are going to get as good of luck.

well seeing as I don't usually carry a camera with me while I'm hunting I'd probably shoot it. In Wisconsin you can shoot an albino deer as long as you can prove that there is brown fur on it somewhere even the smallest ammount make it legal to shoot it. And I think this question was asked a couple days ago.

No it's not a joke people actually do it. What you do is get a group of dogs that bark and corner the pig into a corner then you sneak from the back and shishkebab him in the neck with your knife, then run out of there as quick as possible.

use different baits like maybe minnows or tube jigs maybe not sure what else to try but tell us if you do better.

wierd question but regular coke is my favorite it's got a lot of fizz.
