Deer Hunting Season
The deer hunting season isn’t far off. I’m thinking about putting my electronics expertise to work. I plan to build a battery-powered apparatus that will dispense a small quantity of corn three times a day. I’ll situate this device in a field in the Lake Buchanan area that I know about. I figure that it [...]
Ethics of hunting
As I am probably one of the most extreme nature pagans here, I have to say that I have no problem with hunting in general. In many places predation by humans would be a good thing, especially since we destroyed the original predators and created a state of imballance in the environment that could result [...]
Hunting peer Pressure
I can honestly say that I never heard of a way to report an accidental deer hunting death. In many states, it’s flipflopped for whether you can take all the bucks you want. In North Dakota, it was a very big deal to be able to get a buck permit. Being caught with one when [...]
PETA Makes Hunters an Offer
If there are any hunters out there feeling a little guilty about their recreational outlet or about harvesting an animal to put meat on their table, we have some good news for you. Ingrid E. Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, sent a letter to The Times (via e-mail) recently saying [...]

Coyote Control and Deer Hunting
I personally do not like the use of deer feeders, but that is personal hunting decision. I think most non-hunters think that ALL hunters are “trophy-takers”. This is not true, all hunters must understand the consequences of the decision to shoot. Smart hunters do not take shots that are obviously hopeless. No one ever told [...]
Semi-automatic deer hunting rifle
I was combining my responses to more than just your own post when I inserted the death ray comment, someone else said something absurd about spraying hundreds of bullets per second (quite possible, but we are talking about a Mini-gun too big for a human to carry) out of an assault rifle. Which is not [...]
Destroying the Fur-Industry
I used to bowhunt in my younger days, and anyone who thinks that hunting is “picking on poor defenseless animals” has never faced an enraged twelve-pointer, or a wounded bear. That’s one of the most special experiences for a real hunter (IMO a bow hunter)–the bond you forge with the animals you hunt. Hunting with [...]
Pipe Smokers are Gun Owners
Pipe smokers are ex gun owners also. I gave mine up when NYC decided they were going to make filing for home resident permits difficult enough to disauade most applicants from either renewing theirs as was my case or filing for the first time. To be fare I probably would have given it up any [...]
Hunting Techniques
Pipe smoking and deer hunting
This may sound crazy but I hunt from a tree stand about 25 feet up in the air. In my opinion nothing is better than lighting up after I get up in a tree and waiting in the quiet darkness for the sun to come up while smoking my pipe in the quiet darkness. The [...]
Kerry Deer Hunting in Wisconsin
You hunt Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigian Deer from a tree stand 6 or 8 or 10 feet in the air. Some have tried a ground level blind but usually with little success. Kerry is such a dumb bunny when he trys to say he knows something when it’s obvious to all listening that he doesn’t know [...]
A Pro Wildlife Killer
Hunting with hounds, I asked? Yes, she said, we hunt with anything only try and keep it stumm. So I corrected her, and informed her of the real policies of the WT and RSPB in this matter, money comes a long way in front of conservation and killing wildlife is big business. Things were going [...]
Backpacking and walking in the U.K
A few of the really popular hills have trails on parts of them. Be able to read a map. The lack of trails (or footpaths) in Scoltand is one thing I have heard many overseas visitors commenting on – it has also cost a few lives. At low level there is often woodland, but generally [...]
