Red wolves are one of the only large mammals species endemic to the USA. As American as football and the forth of July. I would give anything to make these guys regain their footing. And suppress them eastern coyotes.

(Also to note though female red wolves will breed with coyotes, they only do this if they can’t find a male red wolf.)

I always quadded down a trail and passed a game trail for years. Finally during early Fall i walked in and the trees opened up and it was white tail heaven. Rubs everywhere. I came back the next day around 9 am, found a spot to sit and grunted and rattled. I seen 3 bucks within an hour, they were just walking around everywhere, it was neat. I seen this guy walking through the woods and he came in but with a frontward shot I couldn’t take. Then he started walking through the brush to the right. I seen an opening in the trees that he was going to walk through. I aimed my rifle at the opening and he walked into my cross hairs. I got him. I found his blood trail but it was small droplets, i got worried and thought i lost him. I prayed to St. Anthony and then looked to my left and 25 feet away he was laying there. He was double lunged and got the top of his heart. Shot him with a Bergara B14 300 Win Mag. Skinned, gutted and quartered him. Left some tobacco and said a prayer of appreciation. He is now a euro on my wall. Hunting is my peace and I absolutely love it.

Are permits required for spring turkey season (April 17-may 31) I am youth and that’s the youth season. Am I able to just get a tag like you can for deer or do you need to win the lottery for that tag?

Patterning in my turkey gun this year with a new choke and new scope. I wanted to use 2 shot/BB steel first before shooting the expensive stuff. Are shot sizes the same? Information on the internet is conflicting. It seems that steel BB is close to lead 4 shot size from charts I’ve seen.

Ps. Yes I know lead doesn’t pattern as tight as steel will.

So I have a dilemma. I recently secured access to a piece of hunting land, it’s covered with feral hogs. So I put out cameras, corn, scouted the best spots etc. so my friends and I can do some hog hunting. My issue is my boyfriend just bitches and complains about everything. He says I’m too loud, (you can have full conversations at 100 yards and these pigs don’t care). To make a long story short though I’ve put in a lot of work and I’m tired of listening to him, and getting yelled at over minor things. Should I stop letting him hunt with me?

**Cross posted here from Canada Hunting**

This is a bucket list item of mine that I'm starting to put together.

Has anyone hunted brown bear in Canada with an outfitter? I'm trying to get an idea on the overall price for this hunt as a non-resident Canadian hunter.

It looks like the majority of the outfitters in the Yukon and the Territories market these hunts to Americans and price these hunts in USD. I've been seeing anywhere between $20,000-$30,000 USD which is steep, to say the least. I've reached out to a handful of outfitters and am waiting on responses.

Are there any deals to be had as a Canadian hunter or are we subject to these same international hunt costs?

I'm looking at all options in the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Curious to hear from those that have hunted Brown Bear in the great white north, whether you are a Canadian or International hunter.

Cheers,

Corned elk, baby carrots, mustard greens colcannon. Teens complained and then went back for seconds. Thought I was going to need to can a bunch of leftovers but it's almost gone.

Hello! I’m visiting for a month and I’m interested in hunting small animals like squirrels/rabbits. I searched a bit online and found out I can buy a non-resident license. But I have a couple more questions and would appreciate your help. First can I hunt with an air rifle or pistol? Since I’m not interested in buying a real firearm, and that’s why I’ll just be hunting small game. If yes then does a small caliber like .177 work or does it have to be a bigger one? Secondly is the hunting license enough or do I need to get additional stuff? And lastly the public places where I can hunt… can I go to any state park/national park and hunt there (for example shenandoah park/wolf trap park) and is there a website that lists places open to hunting? I know I might be asking for too much help but any help/advice is appreciated. Thank you all

Has anybody ever heard of a staffy being able to track deer?

Any idea what this thing is I caught on my trail cam? Central MN next to an open spring on a small lake surrounded by oak woods. Looks the size of a coon but also looks like a pig, unfortunately that’s the only pic I got of the animal. No known wild pigs in the area.

For those of you that have hunted outside of your home Province or State, what was it like getting the meat home?

I'm currently planning a variety of guided hunts on the opposite side of the Country and am trying to sort out the logistics of getting the meat home.

A few of these hunts I will be driving across country but they take place in the early fall, meat spoilage would be an issue.

Others I will be flying home as driving is unrealistic (Ontario to the Yukon).

Do you make arrangements with a transportation company that specializes in transporting frozen goods?

Leaving the meat is out of the question. How do you do it?

​

Finally getting into the game! .30-06 Savage Axis felt like a good first rifle choice. Looking forward to hunting hogs in the future. Any tips/ recommendations always welcome

What is the best lightweight, short action configuration for a hunting rifle?

WI whitetail.

Set and forget / point and shoot.

Looking to get a new set of hunting clothes for this archery season. Has anyone had experience with Element outdoors gear?

Thank you.

They're very utilitarian.

Hello, what is the protocol for field dressing, preparing etc a feral hog? The conservation department in my state acts like the feral hogs are not safe and or good to eat but I know a lot of people in other states (Texas) do eat hogs. Is there any reason I shouldn’t eat feral hog as long as it is cooked well done?

I had a camera out over protein feed for two weeks and had a large hog come through once so I don’t know how feasible me hunting them is or how likely he is to come back but I ended up putting out a corn, kool aid, and molasses mix to see if I can draw more in.

Title. Will be used for spring and mid season hunts in the Wyoming backcountry. Weight obviously being a factor.

Are there any laws regarding permanent feeders and needing them to be full year round in FL? I turkey hunt in RRPOA with my uncle who’s been hunting here for around 45 years. He says there is some law in Florida saying they need to be filled year round, or at least throughout turkey season. The board who is meant to maintain & fill feeders skip over at least half of the permanent turkey feeding stations and fill hanging hog feeders instead. There’s probably 25-30 of those stations if not more. The corn used to fill the feeders is also paid for by members of the association

What is your prize trophy? I quit gator hunting after I got this one.
