Any boyscout should be able to show you. Boyscouts offer a great enviroment to learn things like knots and respect for the outdoors.

8 years old

Venison and Crappie

Two half hitches, bowline, and square knot.

It is a safe sport, but there is always that chance that something could go wrong. Make sure you are always aware of what is going on in the woods. Hunting make be relaxing but is does not mean to forget safety.

In-line spinners or top water frogs.

Synthetic gives you the most bang for your buck. I agree with idahoo's answer.

Busch Light!!!!!!

I agree with everything from idaho, and I would strongly suggest a good pair of hiking boots. Sore feet leads to a short and painful hike.

I like to eat it with my friends and family. I really enjoy introducing people to venison.

Duct tape. It will serve many purposes.

There is always someone else waiting to take your place. Never let your guard down.

Day time raccoons

Choose the lab. The lab is more tuned for hunting.

Rat poison is always an option. Who knows were they will end up though.

Live trap with bread, crackers, or fresh fruit. Or open all your doors and windows and chase him until he escapes.

Find the acorns, you found the squirrels.

Magniesium stick will do the trick! I always carried a small tin with dryer lint in it to help with the starting process. The lint catches the sparks like a pro and holds them rather well. You won't be disapointed if you try this method.

Nightcrawlers and small sunfish are the way to go.

I fould camo color doesn't do much for me. It's just how much I move while in the stand that gets me in trouble. I've been in blue jeans before and had deer on me, and I've been in full camo and had deer run from me. It's how I move and smell that bust me.

Local shops are the best place to go. Bringing an experienced friend helps as well.

I've had a half dozen of them when I was younger. I've been giving them to friends and nephews who are just starting to learn how to fish.

Put a small bluegill on a stringer, put it in the water, and tie one end to the dock. Wait half a day then check the stringer to see if the snapper is eating the bluegill. Get your net ready and slowly pull the stringer to guide him to the shore or net to scoop him up. This may sound crazy but I've done it a few times to catch snappers. I even netted a 4lb bass the other day doing this!

Rooster Tails will provide effective. I like the silver with black spots.

Try a silver and black spotted Rooster Tail. Try the reel and short pause method to trigger a bite.

I use the scent remover shampoo and feel that it works rather well.

Steady cast and reel with the occasional stop and jerk. During that stop and jerk is when the fish usually strike.

Nightcrawlers on bobbers. And why did one person post 11 times on this one post? Isn't that a little much?

Good work, there are more squirrels out there waiting for you.

I've heard of people killing two deer with one shot using a muzzleloader.

Depends if the fish are biting or the animals are moving.

Crappie from anywhere, and Lake Erie perch!

Bigfoot could be real. He could be extinct by now, but who's to say he never exisited. I know a couple of friends that if you let them go in the woods for a month or two without a razor would end up looking like Bigfoot.

Start off with Aluminium arrows because they are cheaper and preform rather well. Starting off with carbon can get a littly pricey.

Anything greater than five grand.

I would have to say the more points you have the higher the star ranking. I'm not sure on the required amount though.

Fair chase means no electronics.

Never put the ammo directly into your pocket. Always keep it in a clip or shell box so you are less likely to leave them to the washer.

Pontoon boats are good to fish around. I go up and down channels catching crappie off of them.

No scent killer is perfect. It may kill a scent on contact, but being out in the field for a little while will cause more scent. The scent killer can't catch it all.

Bake them with some blacken seasoning.

Slow cook them with carrots, potatoes, celerey, green beans, and onions.

.270 for what my opinion is worth. Just like it better, plain and simple.

I haven't heard of this happening until this post. I'd like to learn more about it and why they are choosing to gas them.

First, you can tell her the animals are not helpless. They are living and thriving in the wild. Second, you can tell her you will help cut the food bill by shooting a deer or two. Meat is a big expense now a days and a venison helps out more than one would think.

You always win with a night crawler or dead minnows.

K-mart if they still exist. They always had sales for fishing gear.

People need to be more tolerent of each others hobbies and passions. Can't PETA and other anti-hunting groups just leave hunters and fishers alone? gathering AND HUNTING helped people survive in the old days, not just gathering.

I caught 50+ bluegill and bass in one day, but didn't keep any. I had a fishing contest with some buddies, and I think I caught the same blugill a few times. Once we ran out of nightcrawlers, the bluegill would still bite empty hooks.

Practice, Practice, and a lot of time.

Everyone so far has hit the question on the nose. Vibrations, flash, quick movements all cause trigger strikes with fish.

Fast retrieve with sudden stops. The fish usually follow the spinner then strike when they see it slow down.

I have never tried nor heard of those methods.

I'd say Barrett Model 99 just because you need an opinion.

Go to class. It gives you a better experience.

I would say the 30/06.

How about you go deer hunting instead.

Federal does a good job for me and my Ruger.

I wrap it from my hand to my elbow then tie it in the middle.

If they don't come at me, I don't come at them.

Stock with bluegills and give them time.

Testing gear would be a good outdoors treat!

Try a Shakespear from Wal-mart. I've used this type of rod and reel step up to catch all kinds of fish including the bass you are after.

If you're lost, look at the stars. They'll help you find a path home.

Pretty much anytime you post anything there is a point reward system for it. Check out the link under your profile.

Try using crawdads, fish usually never let go of them.

If we're being unreal, then I would use the golden gun from James Bond 007. One shot kill everytime.

Cabela's gift cards! Then I get to pick out the exact equipement I want.

06 means the year 1906

Fixed blade Buck knife. It preforms well in the field. I like the diamond pattern rubber grip over any metal handle parts because the rubber helps prevent slippage.

The Muzzy is a good head to shoot. I use Thuderheads and they are pretty compareable to the Muzzy. I would stick with what you are good at shooting.

Reach into the water and see if I can untangle him.

Take another look and realize it is only a big yak.

Take a picture with him and Mr. Burns from the Simpsons away from him.

I agree with people using the Answers section to just get points and not learn. However, with free gear on the line and the way the system is built, it is kind of asking for this kind of competition to arise. I think the system should be changed to once a certain number of points is obatined each month, your name is entered into a raffle for the chance to test gear. This way people will post slower and take time with what they are reading and writing.

Spade it up! Good tool to carry with you. I like the collaspable shovels as well.

Depends on the rest of the area. If the rest of the area is woods, then hunt the field. If the area is all fields, hunt the woods.

375 no doubt. Not until I feel like an extra "rush" would I go with the bow.

I was tightlining for catfish and was reeling in a fair sized cat, as I was landing the cat, my other pole was jerked out of the stand and was quickly dragged into the murky depths. Lost a good pole and fish in two seconds.

Tightline with nightcrawlers and a treble hook.

I set my three pins at 20, 30, and 40 yards. Shot my deer this past year at 15 yards.

Give it time and hope he doesn't do it again.

Smallmouth, 11 lb 15oz

It would be a game time decision and depend of if I have already stocked my freezer once this year.

Use a distressed rabbit call.

Be nice to him and try, try again.

If the person offers to work on the farm such as help during baling season, then I would allow them to hunt on my land.

It's okay until the sharks with the O2 tanks. I guess they wanted to make it funny, but I feel it didn't belong with the game.

With live minnows or wax worms on a bobber.

I usually end up picking other people's trash up because I can't stand seeing it in places it doesn't belong.

Live baits fail the least.

I have Ruger 10/22 I got 6 years ago and rarely miss my target.

It is a big fish, and I'm glad to see the fish are still growing large out there. Gives me hope that I still have a chance to catch a 10 pounder :)

Crawdads and chubs from a local stream.

10lb mono test. It is strong enough for catfish and bass and light enough for bluegill and crappie.

I set up a weekend date to go fishing with a friend, and had to travel 2 and half hours to get to his house. When I arrive for the weekend, I find no one there. Where did he go? He forgot about the trip and went to a college to party some 2 hours the opposite way.

How about a pellet gun? The ammo is cheap and the lever just needs to be pumped more than once.

I would say Whitetail with a bow. Ever since I arrowed one last year, I don't know if I'll ever go back to rifle.

Lots and lots of sunblock, PB&J, and a good attitude because you get to go deep sea fishing!

The Mythbusters make a lot of that stuff. Shoot them an email.

Some people now-a-days have no respect for any kind of wildlife they come across. Doesn't make any sense to me.

122,000

Blacktips are the most commonly caught sharks while a Bull or Hammerhead isn't unheard of.

Frogs! You can't beat the action and excitement of the water exploding and the bass inhaling your frog like a kid eating candy that his mother doesn't want him to have.

Try a topwater frog near the logs. Always seems to work for me.

A dark green to black usually gets the most bites. Even a copper/red mix does a good job.

In Ohio, the raccoons are never ending. No matter how many you catch or shoot, there are always more to take their place.

Red and bright green

A hunter's most treasured possession while in the field is his boots. Good boots will keep the hunter's feet dry and warm allowing him to stay in his stand for that extra hour. During that extra hour is when that monster buck you've been pursuing for the past three years walks by. Dry and warm feet = your chance at the big one

I'd guess 118

The Palomar knot is very dependable.

Try Craigslist for the boat.

I did not know that, thanks for the information.

Use fresh nightcrawlers

Raccoons. I could catch one every night in a live trap if needed to.

I hunted down there but never saw anything. I was down there for three days.

Nightcrawlers or small sunfish.

That example is the exact reason one needs to take the course.

Noodlin is catching catfish with your bare hands. Plain and simple. Just watch out for the big ones because the situaiton can get a little sticky. Always go out with a friend.

I agree with huskerguy, there can never be enough Thank yous given for what you have all done and are doing. Without men and women like you, we could never have the chance to enjoy the wildlife and lifestyles we have today. Thank you.

Groundhogs. Set up your 22 with a friend or two and wait for them to start munching on your beans.

You can get mineral and salt blocks cheap at a local TSC or any store that deals will farm animals. The blocks tend to be more expenise at specilty stores.

Fishing, Fireworks, softball

I agree, why don't people just bring a small bag with them in their pack to keep their trash till they get home?

Keep it simple. Use nightcrawlers or dead minnows.

Pretty much catch largemouth bass and sunfish. I see the carp swimming around, but have yet to entice one to bite.

I think 2Poppa has the best answer!

Try to keep a watchful eye, the carp may return and camp out in that hole for a while. Have you ever caught any smallies or rockbass out of that hole?

Use a nightcrawler or cut a baitfish in half and put it on the hook. Cast it out, set the pole on a fork stick, and wait for the line to show you the action.

Wax worms and a really small hook. Or you can chum for a bit, then throw a cast net.

I've had the same problem a few times trying to use university computers. Some let me sign in, other do not. I just keep trying.

Big ol grouper off of Ft. Meyers FL. Don't remember the size, but it was the best tasting fish I've ever tried. There was a place by the docks down there that would cook your catch and give you a discounted price on the meal for bring your own fish.

Live bait would work the best in heavy pressure.

I soak them saltwater.

I'm hooked on Hooked. Actually I like all those fishing shows, and agree with everyone else who says River Monsters is great as well.

Yep, everyone in my school takes the class. We have a greenhouse that is run by the class and a field that is taken care of.

Trap them and take care of them from there.
