Q:what is a good gun for a kid and it is his first year hunting for deer and is 13 years old.
from buck hunter 17 on 05.04.09

I would cosider a muzzleloader. In many places their are seperate seasons, can be used during shotgun season. This means they have an extended oppurtuninty to get a deer. It also teaches them them that they must make one shot count, and that you should be patient and wait till it gets within range. They are also nice since you cant hunt deer with rifles in Iowa where i am from.

I would say hunt-fish maybe a little harsh. If you have never hunted before you would want a shotgun for turkies. You would probably wouldnt use airsoft for many hunting things if any. BB guns may be a little better, but i would say look at Gamo pellet guns. I am sure that they could take down most small game.

Depending on where you live. I would say maybe look into CVA muzzleloaders. It would help with patience for the right shot, and realizing that everything doesnt have to be big and modern, but something like a muzzleloader can do the same job as a high power rifle if you are patient.

I just use my dads. I use muzzleloader, so when i get to my blind i just see how far away landmarks are, and compare deer with them to see if their close enough. I dont use them after about the first 5 minutes in the blind though, they are too loud and if a deer comes out while using one you are in trouble, cause you might spook it while putting the range finder down and picking up your gun.

My family has always used CVA but i am sure there are many nice guns out there. I must admit if i could get any gun out there i would get the T/C triumph Bone Collecter. I sighted down one today and they are well balanced, light, and have a good designed forearm to hold on to. But they are 630 dollars, which is a little outside the budget range of a 13 year old. Any way i love my Cva, which cost 172 dollars and shotts comarably to most T/C i have seen, and if you keep it inside 150-200 yards you will do just fine. I have the CVA Kodiak Pro 209 Magnum in .45 caliber, which allows for slightly longer distance and a slightly lighter gun. Mine is topped with a Barska Ridgeline 3-9x42 scope, which i also reccomend. Well, i hope my rambling helped out a friend, then again you could be looking for a flintlock or percussion and then this is all completely useless. So, good luck and good hunting.

Q:Which hunting transportation do you prefer? On foot, on horseback, on ATV?
from wsimien on 02.28.09

i usually use pick up or a kawaski mule for deer and feet or the mule for turkey, and foot for everything else all the way.
i know of deer, elk, moose, and some consider turkey, but the first three are the ones that come to mind first.
I think probably Sports Illustrated if that counts, though this has nothing to do with a field or a stream.

If you dont want to eat what you kill you can just donate the meet to the local locker and they will give it to the pantry. To help get him to hunt just tell him that there is no feeling like helping to supply meet for you family by actually getting the meet, not just by getting paid and heading to the grocery store. Plus ask him if he really likes totalling his car by a deer and that hunting can help reduce accidents like that.

It takes us about 3 minutes to get it field dressed, but we wait untill the end of the season to quarter tehm because we usually will have about 5-6 deer to quarter. We hang them with the meat on and use the big outdoors as the freezer. we just find time some weekend to cut them up and prepare for supper. We farm though so there are nights we will shoot a deer, put it in teh pickup,do chores, then go back when done with chores and use a pen light. Me and Dad have gotten pretty good at gutting from the pickup with barely any light except to see if all the entrails are out. I gues having field dressed 20 odd deer past dark in teh last 2 years helps.

Just experiment and you will find what is best for you. I would pretty much reccomend any CVA gun.

Of course we are. Many sportsman wont buy a product because it doesnt shoot 500 yards at 3000 fps, even when half or more of there shots are within 200 yards, and most of the other half could be gotten within 200 yards with patience. I think bigger bullets and slightly slowere fps will improve recovery rate graetly, and we will save a ton of money also. Thoses bullets may kill if put int eh vitals, but a bigger slower bullet will kill int eh vitals also and allow you to possibly get a quick follow up shot if needed on slightly wounded game when a smaller load has the deer gone so fast from lack of wound channel we cant even tell for sure if it was a hit or not.

My uncle has one on his muzzleloader, and i cant even get the relief right for my eyes. I shoot lefty and that might be something o do with it. My uncle claims it is fairly clear, though he did try to trade it for my much cheaper Barska ridgeline because mine was so much clearer on the same rifle. We have the same muzzleloaders.
He forgets his gun/bow, his sleeping bag, or any other vital stuff. He talks to the birdys and feeds them bread while a 16 point buck walks 10 yards from his stand.

i personnally don't own one but my uncle does.it is mounted on a CVA Kodiak Pro 209 magnum muzzleloader. It is a nice scope. If you are looking for a high-quality scope for a litle price, i would reccomend the Barska Ridgeline 3-9x42 scope. It is extremely clear, much clearer then his prostaff, ad it is mounted on the same gun. I killed two deer both from about a hundred yards, and it is an excellent low light scope. Plus it cost 70 dollars, which is about 60 dollaars less then the prostaff.

I just bought a redhead softside case at Bass Pro. It was twenty five dollars. It has about 3 inches of padding, is for a scoped rifle, and has a giant pocket (48 inches). I also have a twenty five dollar cabelas brand case. It is also for scoped rifles (48 inch) and doesn't have a pocket. The lining on the inside has already ripped. It is easly fixable but look at redheads at bassproshops. They are good cheap cases.
