Even tho we are rid of one of the worst Hoplophobes to hold this office, and worst in this administration, with a whole new crop of gun-grabing Demacracks due to be elected by the uninformed 'majority' in less than two years, it doesn't change things very DAMM MUCH! ! ! !How will Gonzales' resigning impact our hunting rights?

How do you get into Airgun hunting?

I want to get into it but I don't know how, can you help me? My biggest question is does it require a license? After that any tips would be helpfull, resources or article links would be appreciated.How do you get into Airgun hunting?
To hunt you generally need a license, which means you need to take the hunter safety course in your state/province/shire/etc... There are a couple exceptions to that, but they vary by state to such a degree that its best to just take the hunter safety course and get a license.





As far as hunting with airguns goes Pyramid Air has done a number of articles and podcasts about airgun hunting:

- http://www.pyramydair.com/site/articles/ (mainly dealing with specific guns but it will give you an idea of what people can use for hunting)





In addition, Jim Chapman maintains a site dedicated to airgun hunting:


http://www.americanairgunhunter.com/airg鈥?/a>


He also writes columns for a number of hunting magazines which have articles about using airguns to hunt various kinds of animals. These magazines include Fur Fish %26amp; Game and Predator Extreme.





Finally American Airguns has a section dedicated to the field use of an airgun (IE hunting) which talks about power levels and offers some suggestions for pellets and equipment: http://www.airguns.net/general_field_use鈥?/a>How do you get into Airgun hunting?
I would go for a 22 cal as the ammo can be purchased easily. Most states require a minimum of 20 cal for hunting small game. You would want a rifle that shoots around 800fps. A scoped gun is really helpful and a confidence builder. you should be able to pick up a combo package for about $200. Don't forget a hunting license.


Good luck and happy hunting.
In most states you need a hunting license to hunt anything. And there are seasons for everything you hunt as well. Like Gray Squirrels can only be hunted Sept-Nov and Oct-Jan. Go to your local wal-mart and see if they have what they call here a Abstracts book. It gives all the hunting info for your state.
the laws in countries differ from place to place but all i know is that in canada the legal limit of your guns velocity of a airgun has to be under 500 F.eet P.er S.second (fps) and if its any faster you have to have a non-restricted license.
Well the first thing I would say is go take a hunter safety course. And they will tell you the other advice I would tell you is practice airgunning requires extreme accuracy. So practice practice, practice. You want to anchor your quarry with one hit so the Animal does not suffer.

What do you think about hunting with hounds?

Also, with the start of the hunting season, and the hunting ban itself?What do you think about hunting with hounds?
I think it is the fairest way of hunting game. When the game hears the approach of the hounds it knows it is in danger and changes the way the game reacts. The game knows it is being pursued. The game changes its routine. The type of weapon isn't what makes a hunt challenging. When the game knows it is being pursued the hunt becomes a challenge. Due to the timing of Your ? I assume You are referring to the running of deer with hounds. However there are many different types of game that hounds are used for running, ie. raccoons, bear, rabbit, squirrels etc...What do you think about hunting with hounds?
Fabulous, Fantastic, Terrific.*
I have two Beagles I hunt rabbits with. All three of us have a great time
I don't like it. They don't have opposable thumbs to hold a rifle or shotgun properly, make too much noise, and smell enough to scare anything away. If any hounds ever asked to go hunting with me, I'd almost certainly refuse them outright.
Sorry totally against it,I know foxes have to be kept under control but hunting with hounds is just barbaric there are other more humane ways to handle this,I would like to see a pack of hounds chasing these so called sporting people wonder if they would like it.


As Oscar Wilde said it's the unspeakable chasing the uneatable.
I think it is fine to hunt with them. We use them for deer hunting and it's not like that you kill every deer in the woods when you use dogs. A lot of hunting with hounds is tradition here in the South.
I have a hunting hound, he is great at scenting out game and its his favourite thing to do. I dont see why so many people have a problem with it, man has been using hounds to support hunting activities since the dawn of time!!





However... I do disapprove of that British hound hunt where they get 15 dogs and ride around in their red coats on their fat horses and let 15 dogs attack 1 fox.... its just not hunting.

Contact Florida's version of the State Fishing %26amp; Wildlife Dept. They should be able to tell you about access to public lands for hunting purposes. Of course it kind of depends on what it is he intends to hunt also.

How Would I Wash My Hunting Jacket?

Well hunting season is over and my hunting jacket is full of mud? How would I wash it? There is numberous zippers which i dont want to break. Dont want it to shrink or rip.





So how would i wash it.How Would I Wash My Hunting Jacket?
the zippers are the least of your problems. they should not break no matter how you wash or clean the jacket.





preferably if it has a makers tag, google the maker and get care instructions.





Rub the fabric together dry to get the mud off. It will powder so do it over the trash can.





It does not matter if it is down filled. It can be washed mild detergent, warm water warm rinse, gentle cycle. Tumble dry with either a couple of tennis balls or a pair of clean tennis shoes.





If it is wool! another problem. DO NOT agitate while wet!!! this will shrink it big time!!!





Since you don't know what it is made of, send it to the dry cleaners!! Safest method to prevent shrinking and felting.How Would I Wash My Hunting Jacket?
what kind of fabric is it?depending as you can do a delicate or a cotton wash?
first wash it as if a normal piece of clothing. then make it go through with scent away or dead down wind products.
And, be careful of smells that may remain. Prey animals have an extremely good sense of smell.
Close all zippers and other fasteners like snaps, buttons or velcro. Wash according to the directions on the care tag.





Bert
Zip up all the zippers - rinse all of the loose mud/dirt off it - let it dry - then take it to a local dry cleaners - if it is down filled - don't put it in your washing machine - if it isn't down wash it on gentle cycle in cold water with woolite detergent. wash it by itself - let it drip dry - don't put it in the dryer with any heat.





Good Luck.

What to do if your hunting waders are too large?

I'm borrowing a pair of waders to go duck hunting (first time). I'm really excited to go, but I didn't have enough to buy my own pair of waders so I am borrowing a pair from a friend. Thing is I think they used to belong to his dad, cause they are way big (13 Stout). Any advice?What to do if your hunting waders are too large?
Wear thick socks and a wade fishing belt or web belt around the middle. Be careful not to fall down because if those things fill up you won't be able to get up with out help.What to do if your hunting waders are too large?
Unless you are in a sump blind.....just wear some hip boots if you are in the swamp. I usually hunt with a standard 12-14'; boot and a boat and dog. Waders are really a pain unless you have the new tight fit ones that keep you warm. See what you really need.





BTW These are dangerous if you slip and fall and fill up you could drown.





I would not.
I hope you`re in a cold climate. I did this with 2 pairs of jeans,and as posted before, thick or double pairs of socks. Put a fold in the front and hold it with a belt and you`re good


to go. Happy Hunting!


Additional details: I don`t know why .700 Nitro is being picked on,but I have flooded out waders before and you really do need help to get back up.
Well fishing waders are supposed to be oversized, I never use them for hunting because they are hard to put on and I just use the dog to get my ducks.
Wear a belt.
you'll just have to walk around looking like those blankety-blank-blak...i mean blank dudes holdin up their drawers! lol

How can I become a hunting guide in south dakota?

Or someone who helps a hunting guide, working with a hunting guide. How can I become a hunting guide in south dakota?
Glacierwolf has a very insightful and correct answer. But in AK things are a little different than here in the Lower 48. You need to check with SD Fish and Game to verify, but I believe in your state you must be working for a licensed outfitter and you are in essence working under his license.





Here in MT, you just pay $100/yr for a guide license. It come from the department of Revenu, not Fish and Game. It is not a ood system but it is what we have.





In order to get the job itself, just contact every outfitter or hunting camp in the area you wish to work. One thing to remember, as a guide you spend a lot oftime with your hunters. Your people skills will come handy far more often than any other skills you have or don't have.How can I become a hunting guide in south dakota?
I am a long time Alaskan hunter and trapper.





Are you qualified? Is this something you might want to do this coming summer, or, in a few years? I ask because to be a hunting guide you need to know more about the woods, game animals, butchering, hide and pelt care, firearms, safety, and survival than the usual Joe Blow hunter. People don't just fill out an application, watch a power point presentation online and become a guide - you need to have the proper knowledge and experience. You are not going to get that knowledge with a few days of on the job training.





You start by being a sucessful hunter. No sense people paying you to guide them on a hunt when you can't even do it for yourself. You should have bagged most all the big game animals in your state, and, it would be a huge help if you had taken some from Alaska. Caribou would be my recommendation - they have a high hunter sucess rate, the tags are not that expensive, but most of all the racks are totally awesome and really make people look twice.





Spending a winter trapping would not hurt - this will give you an opportunity to learn ALLOT about the smaller critters in the forest. The more you know about anything in the forest - the better you become at all things forest related.





You need medical training. People who hire guides usually have medical issues. Training to the ETT - Emergency Trauma Tech would be fine. This is one step above being First Aid/CPR training, and, one step below being an EMT.





It would be a huge help if you completed a week long survival course.





It would look very good if you were a certified NRA rifle and pistol instructor. Most guides take the client to the range first - this verifies their rifle is ok, and most important - tell you just how close to the game animal you need to bring them. The people who talk the most usually shoot the worst. Or, have excuses 'pre-packaged' and ready to go when they mess up.





Other things that help - experience with horses, ATV's, canoe, butchering and processing game meat, making sausage, cooking,





Hope this helps

Is it bad to mix hunting dogs with house dogs?

Is it bad for a hunting dog to play and interact with a house dog, cat and children?Is it bad to mix hunting dogs with house dogs?
regarding living in the house, they don't get accustomed to being in harsh temperatures like dogs that live outside do. Take a husky that lives in the house year round and toss him out into the snow in alaska, he'd die in a few hours of exposure.





Mammals, even humans, change their metabolism to meet weather conditions, but this doesn't happen over night. Keeping the dogs outside keeps them in proper metabolism for whatever the weather is asking of them.





Interaction with house dogs, cats, and children. Hunting dogs and other working dogs get a lot more excercise and are much more physically fit. Take an office worker that is 45 years old, who sits in front of the computer all day long and have him practice football with the local college team, the guy will get creamed, even if the football team treats him normally. Dogs don't know to treat the housedog with greater care, or the kid with greater care. The cat at least has the ability to go high and avoid the problem.





I don't think it is bad for the hunting dogs, but it may be bad for the kid and the house dog! Obviously, you don' want your kids being bitten so you will always impose that rule on the hunting dogs. However, if the hunting dogs get used to playing with the kid, then they will get mixed messages when the kid comes along on a hunt, they don't know if it is play time or hunt time. Even if they mostly figure out it is hunt time, they are still going to be slightly unsure, and always looking back to see if the situation has changed, and now they are supposed to play. This will distract the dog and lessen his performance.





one way to deal with this is to ritualize hunting. Have special hunt collars that go on the dogs for hunting, load them in the truck even if going a short distance, etc. NEVER do these things when it is just play time. This will make the dogs more sure that even when the kid accompanies them, it is hunt time not play timeIs it bad to mix hunting dogs with house dogs?
It's absolutely fine! Home is home -- how the dog is prepared/trained for hunting and rewarded for doing well is all you need to concentrate on.





My Labrador Gemma was a fine bird dog, but only did her job when I took her grouse hunting and she saw the shotgun come out. But at home she slept with the cat and loved kids.
My buddy who is an avid bird hunter has 3 dogs, 2 hunters and one house, they get along just fine. It's like the guy above me said, when they know it's time to go to work, when they see that shotgun come out, they KNOW what's expected of them, and start getting into their natural instinctive hunting mode. Around the house, they're just like any other dog.
i haven't heard of any problem allowing hunting dogs to interact with other dogs, house dog or otherwise. i have know hunters who didn't allow their hunting dogs to live in their house - the concern was they wouldn't perform well in outdoors hunting conditions if used to indoor living
NO, No, no it means nothing and has no effect on their natural hunting instinct.* They are a Hunting breed therefore they Hunt regardless of the environment or other non hunting dogs.* I have three (3)* Beagles.*
I have 2 Brittney spaniels that are house dogs. and a golden retriever that is just a house dog he does not hunt. If I get my shotgun out the Brittney's will raise you to the truck. so I would say it is fine to mix them.
not other dogs... I wouldn't let it around a cat though.


I'm not sure about children, they're very hyperactive and run around a lot.
I can't say yes or no because one of our hounds play with our bird dog and he has been pointing birds. Imagine that!
It should be fine with the other dog but i would NOT LET IT BUY THE CAT. That is unless you want dead cat?

What month is best for hunting haggis?

I'm planning a trip to the highlands for a bit of camping etc. Just wondering whether there is a particular season for hunting haggis?


Additionally, are there any particular methods of haggis hunting I should look into? I was just going to use a pointed stick.What month is best for hunting haggis?
August. They like to fly around in the summer heat, so they're really easy to spot.What month is best for hunting haggis?
Any time but you need not hunt them for they cannot walk or run, nor can they fly or swim. Just visit your butcher's shop and pay your money.
It depends on the variety. If you are hunting the more original Norse/Viking version of hagga, then you do this only in the winter months.





If the variety you are after is the tradtional haggis, then you need to be near a flock of sheep since Haggis are drawn to them for some reason.





Then again, it may also depend on what method of preparation you will be using after you bag the hag so to speak. The oldest recipes may make the haggis taste offal.





I prefer the shotgun for taking the wild haggis but a nine iron works just as well if you are quiet and can sneak up on them.
Well old bean, the pointed stick method is by far the best way, although throwing dynamite at them is also quite affective! It's best done in early springtime when they are looking for mates and their minds are on the females and they take more risks.


Did you know the Haggis is a creature of habit and so it always runs around the hills in the same direction. Consequently two of its legs are always longer then the other two to compensate!


Jolly good hunting!
Actually, you can only hunt Haggis between 18th and 25th January, and the licences are only available on 1st January, but due to most of us Scots being hungover that day, there is not much hunting done!!!!!!
You can't hunt them or they will commit Haggicide. Don't you know that this is an endangered species? You could get arrested.
The proper dispaching of Haggis demands the use of a Claymore (the sword, of course, not the mine). Anythng else would be considered gauche by your hosts. Haggis is considered a decicacy by the Scotts. However, one must remember that the Scotts are the same people who brought us the bag pipe and tried to tell us that the sound that it made was music. When it comes to bag pipes and Haggis, proceed with caution
the haggis is very illusive and hard to catch as they have 2 legs longer on one side than they are on the other. this is for climbing hills. u could pretend to be a massive boulder to catch one as they like to lie on the rocks to catch the rays in the morning.





I hope ur not gonna kill one as they are an endangered species. so much so that no-ones ever seen 1.
Haggis is the boiled liver,kidneys,of a sheep inside the stomach of the same animal with onions,and barly. It is a recipe not an animal of its own. to the best of my kinowledge
The summer months are the best times for hunting haggis, I've picked up many on weekends in the highlands.


I like the pointed stick method too, but if you're not in scotland often and want to see them up close you could get them by leaving a dram of whiskey out and catching them with a net, this allows you a close look and then you just knock their head off the ground like in fishing.


Happy hunting!
Best go now old boy, I think they're known to hibernate over the summer months.





D----d odd creatures they are, as big as a horse and vicious too. Dispense with a stick and take a couple of rifles, as good old Lord Roxton did on that South American jaunt of his and Challenger's a few years back.





If you need another member of your hunting party then may I join you? The Duchess keeps harping on about my failure to take an abstainence pledge.
January for the long legged haggis


February is time for the love struck haggis (watch the lips)


March is hairy haggis season


April is short A**e season


May is short bouncing season


June (my favourite) Scared haggis


July long eared haggis


August short eared haggis


september is any haggis that has sight problems ( these are easy to spot as they all wear glassses)


October is nocturnal haggis (comes out only after dark)


November is the Rampant Haggis usually get 2 with one shot as they ,,, you know,,,,


December is the festive haggis, a hard one to get cos they hide under holly and ivy, but if you look very carefully you will just see the tip of their paper xmas hat





Good luck, if you don't get one this year then try Tesco for their everday frozen haggis, not quite the same in a ice lolly
The main hunting season is Haggisember, however they have also been known to be spotted in July. Happy hunting and Good Luck!





Edit: Hunting Method: Haggis are very partial to gin and tonic, leaving glasses full of the stuff dotted around their natural habitat usually works wonders. The haggis drink their tipple, get drunk and fall over, therefore making it much easier for the discerning hunter to reap the benefits.
All year round... but unfortunately you have to be trained by the great butchers association in order to catch them. You also need a thistle whistle and a portable x-ray mass spectrometer. The Scottish tradition, of drinking three large bottles of scotch must be upheld in order to invoke the haggis to reveal itself.
You appear to have been duped by the answers given to you, haggis is not a creature, it is food that uses many ingredients, mostly spices and herbs and offal and lungs, with the choice cuts of meat then wrapped within a sheeps stomach ( the sheep is dead for this purpose, and the stomach removed). If you use a pointed stick the inards will ooze out into the boiling water spoiling the taste.
I saw one once while I was out Snipe hunting, wouldn't want to mess with one, they're VICIOUS.

What is the best bird hunting dog?

Pointers!What is the best bird hunting dog?
i am not a fan of goldens or labs. They are good smart dogs but to popluar. I i have 2 german shorthaired pointers an english springer spaniel and a brittnay. Personally I think that the britt would be the best because they are now used as all around dogs not just spaniels anymore. Thats why the AKC changed them to just the brittany. They can flush point and retrieve.





Do some research and it depends on what your friend wants while hunting. I never used my dogs for the sport I just enjoy the breeds they are the sweetest nicest dogs in the freaking world.





Good luckWhat is the best bird hunting dog?
Golden retriever ,Lab,Pointer.Hound dogs(all hounds).The ones that were ment for hunting.It doesn`t mater what the gender is .And hunting dogs are easy to train.Hunting is their instinct.
My choice would be golden retriever through personal experience. They have a very soft mouth

Is it absolutely essential to disclose that I have resigned while job hunting?

I live in India, and had to resign 4 months ago due to a family medical emergency. Now that I am job hunting, the recruiters change tactics immediately when I disclose that I am jobless. Even after I have cleared all rounds of interviews, they seem to play a waiting game.Ok, they want to pay lower salary, but won't disclose how low.


In such situations, do I need to be honest, and be exploited ? Please advise.


No( financial) crisis at present. but am getting discouraged.Is it absolutely essential to disclose that I have resigned while job hunting?
I think it depends on specifically what you say. If you left a job for a medical emergency, they might be concerned that after they hire you and put forth the effort to train you, etc., that you're apt to quit again. So you might say you took some time off for a family emergency that is now completely resolved. Of course, you don't have to volunteer that you're jobless, but it's best not to lie.Is it absolutely essential to disclose that I have resigned while job hunting?
You should be honest but you do not have to stick with one job. Apply several at the same time. If you can get multiple offers, then you use them as your advantage. If the offer is too low, then you can always decline.

What should i start out hunting as a beginner?

I am 20 years old in Illinois. I just passed my Hunter's Safety Course but I still need to do the field day. I want to start hunting as soon as i can, but I don't know what to start hunting. What's the best game and guns and time to start hunting?What should i start out hunting as a beginner?
you should hunt what ever you like





if going for small game then get just .22 for larger game and big game get a ..270 or a 30.30





but since you asked i'd go for whitetail deer since i heard illinois can produce some monstersWhat should i start out hunting as a beginner?
Well, the best game depends on you and what you are like. If you like to move around, then you might want to rabbit hunt or pheasant hunt or something. If you like to sit still then you might like deer hunting. If you want a good cheap gun, then I would definatley get a Mossburg 500. If you want to spend A little more money then buy a Remington 870. Personally I would go with the Mossburg.
I started out on turkeys, you could too if one of your Hunters ED teachers mentored you a bit on the subject ( or better yet took you along). if not, you could join local gun club or hunting organization and see if anyone would let you tag along on a hunt(not just for turkey)
anything you like to eat but maybe start out hunting small game like rabbits and squirrels with a .22lr
The best game.


Any that is in season. I started with small game but that was because deer or turkey seasons weren't in yet.


Guns.


In Illinois for deer and turkey your limited to a shotgun. 12 Ga will work fine. Slugs for deer, #4's for turkey.


The best time.


Is early morning through dusk for deer, Early morning to about noon (in missouri we can't hunt past noon the first week and it used to be past 1pm the second week). Small game early morning through whenever you have to go home...lol...before dark.
the best game is whatever you're interested in, can be further narrowed down by determining what is plentiful in your area(I've heard good things about the birds in illinois?)





the best gun is the one that fits the application, and fits YOU, brand names and prices are secondary considerations, you want to ensure that you'll enjoy shooting the gun, and that it'll be easy/enjoyable to carry while hunting.
You, should start hunting squirrels first. There alot of squirrels you, but eat them. You will learn alot while hunting them. Like how to be quite, how to sneak around in the woods, it will get you ready for other game you plan on hunting. And if you are looking for a good gun to take, use a 16 or 20 gauge shotgun. And as you get better try 22cal. rifle it is alot of fun.
everything in season
small game like squirrels rabbit are great fun especially if your just starting out in the field you don't have to be as quite and still plus they keep your accuracy in top notch shooting squirrels with a 22 is a blast small target with small ammo shooting a rabbit on the run with a shotgun it's a adrenalin rush you can hunt all small game with a shotgun so I would say pick yourself up a good shotgun like a remington 870 look for one with both bird and slug barrel so you will have one gun that you can hunting anything from squirrel to deer it will cover you








Good luck have fun


Be Safe
There is allot more to hunting than guns and shooting. You need to have a hunting license, know what seasons are open, know what a legal animal looks like, what a protected animal looks like, find land that you can legally hunt on, be knowledgable about safety - and - what to do with the animal after you harvest it. No sense killing something you have no clue how to properly care for after shooting. You need to know how to clean it, store it, and cook it.





There is nothing more frustrating than spending a day in the woods and seeing nothing............ other than spending a whole day in the woods, seeing only one good game animal, and missing the shot.





The two things you need to concentrate on - finding game, and, being a decent marksman. Most folks practice their shooting skills when hunting season is closed......... but do not practice their finding game skills until the season is open. Waiting for the season to open to start looking for animals can waste valuable time. For this reasone - I highly recommend you and your dad go out with a digital camera when the season is closed - learn where the animals are - and hunt them with a camera. You will gain valuable knowledge and insight doing this in the spring and summer - it will be a huge help when fall comes around.

How does one go about hunting lions with Rhodesian Ridgebacks?

Wikipedia says you need 20 dogs, is this accurate? considering they are lion hunting dogs I cant find much information about how to hunt lions with them on the internet.How does one go about hunting lions with Rhodesian Ridgebacks?
I believe that hunting lions with the Ridgebacks are a thing of the past.You never see any Video of it or read of it happening any more. But on TV a few years back they were filming a nature show in Africa about a pack of wild dogs. For some unknown reason they decided to take on a full grown male lion. The pack contained around 50 of the African hunting dogs. When the fight ended the lion was dead, but it had killed 27 of the hunting dogs. The film crew for some reason did not get to film it. It would have been a sight worth seeing. They said they have no idea why the dogs went after the lion.Perhaps it was a Territorial thing.How does one go about hunting lions with Rhodesian Ridgebacks?
There's about that many dogs taken when someone is hunting mountain lion. Now think, an African lion is much larger than a mountain lion, so you'll need more dogs.


Also, you just can't take any ol Rhodesian Ridgeback. The dog has to be bred for it and trained properly for it also.


You can't take any ol lab or any ol walker hound out to go hunting- the dog is bred and trained for what it will be tracking/hunting.
I bet you could take 20 dogs with you but I bet 20 wouldn't return. I think if you had good pig dogs who were barkers (stand their distance and bark not run in and try to bite) when you got to she scene you could call your dogs off and take a shot (with a large bore rifle making sure no dogs were behind the Lion). This technique works big Boar, not sure what would happen if there were more Lions were in the neighborhood though. Are you thinking about giving it a go? Ive hunted with ridgeback x healers and they make fine hunting dogs
Well, lions are some big mean kitty cats, so they could kill some of those dogs before you got your shot in. I'm just guessing, because I haven't the means to test the theory.
Beagles would be better or rat terrier..to small for the Lion to see and they can hide in the brush and they are yappers...and you don't need to worry about shooting them..cause their too short.
Are you talking about a African lion or a Mountain lion?
well yeah it could take one down but u'd need 30 to return with 20

Have fun mate.What's the record for hunting kills in one night using a jeep, a torch, and a big shotgun?
How big of a shotgun? 12 ga?, 10 ga?, 8 ga?, 4 ga? What? Will this be hunting for food?, trophies?, animal population control? or just wanton slaughter of every living thing that you see just for the record?
Here we call that kind of behavior poaching and it is not something responsible hunters tolerate.
154. He he he... Got em Nazis straight up their @$$es in WW2 with my Winchester

If you search youtube, you'll find out that Korea also recently started to kill whales for food and for food only.

How do you find private hunting property?

My hubby has been talking about needing to find some private property to hunt in IL. How would he go about doing this? How can he find more places to hunt?How do you find private hunting property?
You are better off to ask for permission in person as opposed to the phone or computer. Dress respectfully, speak intelligently, and act confidently. If told no continue to be polite as he may change his mind, tell you someone that will allow you to hunt, or know the next person on your list.





People seem to be more apt to allow bow hunters over gun hunters. So if you can get in as a bow hunter and prove yourself, you may be able to get in for gun.How do you find private hunting property?
It is getting tougher and tougher to find ground to hunt.The way I do it is look in the newest plat book find the plat that I would like to hunt and get the land owners name and call them or go see them in person to ask them.The second part always seems to work best.Be ready for a lot of the land owners to say no but some do still say YES. GOOD luck at finding ground to hunt.
first drive 'till you find an area you want to hunt. and start asking the home owners for permission. check out road maps, topo's, and aerials for a better area to hunt.

I would try this site:

I start training dogs as soon as I can if I could I would start at 3 weeks of age. Now I am not talking about training to hunt but puppies are sponges and can learn incredible amounts of things and the more they learn the faster they learn new things. Too bad you missed all the early training time.
She old enough i believe if the dog can walk it can be trained just take it slow be patient and practice with the dog as much as possible.

Where can I donate old hunting rifles and cartridges?

I need to dispose of these - will donate, sell whatever, but don't know where to look.Where can I donate old hunting rifles and cartridges?
I haven't a clue where you could donate them. Why not just take them to a pawn shop and get some money?





Or you can turn them into the police department. They will destroy them.Where can I donate old hunting rifles and cartridges?
Contact me with a list. az_bo_hunter@yahoo.com
Stay away from pawn shops - they buy for pennies on the dollar and turn huge profits. It's true that police departments will destroy them. I would be interested myself


beej7983@yahoo.com


If you are set on donation, try whitepages.com and type in gun clubs or huntiing clubs in your area. If you locate any, ask them about handicapped hunts/disadvantaged youth hunts etc. (just don't mention the guns until they give you contact info on the hunt trips or they will simply take your guns for themselves.) You can also contact your local fish and wildlife bureau and ask them the same question.
to me ,we need them to shoop phesant,,,,
I for one collect firearms and would like to know what you are looking to get rid of or, call you local Law-Enforcement they Will also take them off your hands. Please let me know.

If not the best thing i could tell you to do is take them to a pawn shop and sell them, because i have no clue how you would donate a rifle.
Look in your Yellow Pages under ';guns';. Call a few shops and arraigned to bring them in.....unloaded of course.





Also, most VFWs will gladly take your old guns and raffle or sell them. VFW halls are full of hunters.
Take them to a gun shop--they buy used arms. As others have pointed out, pawn shops don't give you anything near what the guns are worth.





Or advertise them in your newspaper under ';Sporting Goods.';
http://www.anjrpc.org/ - these people are always looking for donations for their gun range for public range events.
a pawn shop for money or maybe money at an antique store
Please take them to a good local gun shop. Most likely if they are ';old'; they are worth money and have historical value. They may not be worth anything to you but they are gems to some. Pawnshops will rip you off, police departments will destroy the guns. Either scenario is a shame. Go to a local book shop and buy a book on gun values Fjestad's blue book is the best.


You may have many treasures in your possession, or you may simply have a few good rifles that someone will love and appreciate.

Throw them and just play fetch with the pup.


You need to get them used to gun fire if you are going to hunt things.

What is the best time of night for cats to go hunting?

So tonight I was out walking and I noticed a cat in someone's driveway. It was sitting very still but VERY alert. I wonder if it was hunting. I am wondering what time of day cats like to hunt for small prey (like mice, rats, birds, etc.).What is the best time of night for cats to go hunting?
Normally, when the sun goes down, nocturnal creatures begin to stir and to be active - all preparin to search for their dinner. Cats are nocturnal predators and in the wild, they become alert as soon as it becomes dark.What is the best time of night for cats to go hunting?
Cats can and do hunt any time. But the best time for most predators is around sunrise and sunset.


Often domestic cats also stalk ';prey'; without actually trying to catch it.

What would be a good set of camouflage for spring turkey hunting?

Its pretty warm so it has to be pretty lightweight. I need something that's quiet with a good ground hunting camo pattern. Also, what are some accessories, besides calls, that would be good to have?What would be a good set of camouflage for spring turkey hunting?
Real tree works for me. Need a face net, camo gloves, camo hat, foot blind, turkey hunting chair (sits about 4 inches off the ground) Long sleeve shirt, pants, camo fanny pack for gear. Slate with two different strikers, box call, small flashlight, challenge call (crow, owl, or gobbler), camo sock for shotgun, small binoculars, and lots of bug spray. I have camo burlap to create a temporary blind or break up my silhouette. Some guys use decoys but I don't. A good hunting store can set you up with lightweight camo gear there are tons. I have not preference on brand. The key is to break up your body shape and blend. I have been so camoed that one time I was sitting still and a wren landed on my shotgun barrel as if I were a tree and hopped down the ';branch'; until it stared right at me figuring out I was not a bush or tree.What would be a good set of camouflage for spring turkey hunting?
None if you are in my area, just show up in a truck that looks like a ranch truck and the turkey's won't know its someone else. The dumb bastards have a false sense of security around us and I could damn near kill one with my bare hands if I wanted to.





But depending on your area, are you going woods? Or are you more field and woods. Find what looks most closely to where you are going to be. Real Tree might work in one area, another pattern might work fine in another.





As I said, here they are dumb enough that it is almost criminal to bother to hunt them as they don't see us as threats.
I build a blind myself, were a bug net this keeps the bugs away and hides your face as well, bug repellent around your hands, ankles, neck for ticks, bottle of cold water and calls. Of coarse gun and ammo. And set as still as poss-able another reason to use a blind it covers most body moves.
Spring Turkey: Realtree APG, Mossy Oak Obsession, Realtree Hardwoods Green, Mossy Oak Break - Up. Fall: Realtree AP. All camo you buy should tell you what pattern it's in.
a good blind works well or you could try a ghillie suit they work very good for turkey or deer
Real tree AP worked great for turkey this fall!

Are there any legal issues involved if I sell my used hunting rifle directly to another private citizen?

Any paperwork? Must I use a gun dealer? Or is it just like selling someone a used freezer, for example?Are there any legal issues involved if I sell my used hunting rifle directly to another private citizen?
Assuming your in the USA......





It is completely legal for you to sell your rifle to somebody.....





Of course do what I do --- Write down from there drivers license, name, DOB and address.... That way if johnny law dropped by because the gun was used illegaly you can point them to where you sold it.....





Also if you dont like the person (maybe they look or are acting sketchy) you do not have to nor are you obligated to sell it to him.......





Otherwise it is quite legal........Are there any legal issues involved if I sell my used hunting rifle directly to another private citizen?
Well it's just like selling any peice of property. You may wan't to do a bill of sale which would be a peice of paper with gun specifics both parties sign and keep copeies of. But there really is no need to go through a gun dealer or police dept. I would reccomend not to.





Since it's a hunting rifle there usually isn't issue. That mostly encompasses handguns but it also depends on your state. Usually just asking for your states gun laws on google is a good enough start.
When a gun transfers over to another private owner, it usually stays in the original owners name. you dont have to change the name. Just be careful who you sell it to. make shure they are responsible and arn't going to do something like shoot someone or hold up a convient store. remember it is still in your name so if they do something against the law and leave the gun at the scene, the cops will come for you.


Good luck
Depends on where you live...each state has different laws so you need to check on this. Here in Virginia its perfectly legal for private individuals to sell firearms, as long as they dont do it on the property of a FFL holder. No paperwork is required, but its probably a good idea to get the buyer to give you a photocopy of ID and hold on to that for a while just in case something about it ever came up.
Each state has varying laws. For instance, in California, you can do that, but you have to go to a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder to handle the transfer. This involves the background check and 10 day waiting period.
in canada? here you need to have your buyers PAL # and have to contact the firearms registry before actually givingf them the gun. alot of hookey balookie but thus is life.
In I think three states, you must go through a dealer. In the others (I suppose that's 55 in the current administration but still 47 in my book) it's the latter.
If you're in California, you will have to go through a licensed dealer. In most of the rest if the US, it should be legal to do a private transaction. Check with your local police first.
you could get a call from the state or feds if the gun is used in a crime,, use a gun shop for transferring the ownership and background check
Laws vary, so it's impossible to answer unless we know where you are.

What is the best kind of caliber for white-tail deer hunting?

I am 15 and am getting lots of different answers. I was looking at the 30-06 or the .308. I live on 10 acres and 3/4 of it is trees. It is kind of brushy. Thanks for any help.What is the best kind of caliber for white-tail deer hunting?
The thirty calibers make good brush-bucking and buck-busting calibers, but if you ever go somewhere outside the woods, you'll prefer the longer range capability of the .30-06 for those wide open western state shots at deer, antelope and elk. If I had to pick ';just one'; from the many suitable calibers available, it would be the 30-06 in a Remington Model 700. (There's a reason it was and still is one of the most respected and desirable guns and calibers for sports hunters and military snipers alike.) You can count on it to get the job done. I do!What is the best kind of caliber for white-tail deer hunting?
Any caliber in the 30's is excellent for hunting whitetail deer. Such as 30'06, .308, 30-30, 7.62 x 54mm, 8mm Mauser, there are many calibers that you could use. The best caliber, is a tough question to answer, that would depend on what kind of caliber you are most familiar and more comfortable shooting with. The best whitetail caliber to me would be the 30'06 and second the 30-30.
The 'O6 and the .308 are both great rounds for deer hunting. The .308 is the better choice, in my experience, because it is inherently more accurate, and because it is available in short-actions, giving you a slightly lighter rifle with a stiffer action.





There are so many cartridges that are 'great' for deer hunting that it is ridiculous; essentially, anything that you can shoot well that is heavy enough to do the job (and it doesn't take much) will suffice. In spite of what the gun mags say, deer are very easy to kill, even the biggest. Shot placement is everything; put it through the boiler room and take the heart apart and you can use a .223; if you're not sure about that kind of consistency, use at least a .243. Sounds like you're heading in the right direction with those two fine old .30 cal flavors.





A piece of advice; I read about many people that aim for the shoulder with deer. Don't do it. You'll ruin a lot of meat, and if you miss bone, you'll likely have a lot of tracking to do. Aim behind the shoulder, and you'll be sure to take out the heart and/or lungs. They won't go very far, and you won't ruin meat. Don't aim too far back or you'll bust their guts, maybe have to track farther, and have tainted meat (and a mess).





Good hunting, and good luck.
Any gun from a 30-30 to a 300 wsm is going to smoke a deer real good. Depending of how far you want to shoot, how much recoil you want to handle and the hunting conditions will be a factor. Assuming it is a brushy area like you mentioned, a lower velocity caliber with heavy round will give you a little bit less deflection from any brush and a higher chance of a good hit. However I don't recommend ever shooting through brush, but it can happen incidentally. A 30-30 is a good option, but so is the 30-06 with 200 gr rounds. I would say pick up a few guns at your local dealer or test drive them if they will let you and see what feels the best. If you do plan on hunting other large game in the future eg elk or moose, stick with the 308 or 30-06 so you have the option without having to fork out money for a gun.





But on the other hand, its never bad to have an excuse to give the wife for buying another gun down the road.
308 and 30-06 are more powerful than you need for whitetails under any circumstances; on the other hand, nobody's ever killed one too dead, so there's no reason not to choose one of those if you want.


The middle range for deer is calibers like 6.5x55, 260 Remington, 270 Winchester, 7mm08 and 7x57 Mauser. Those are all fine performers, though the 270 is really designed more for longer ranges. At 15, I had experience with only a few calibers, myself, but over the decades have accumulated a lot more, so think of this not as your deer rifle but rather as your first deer rifle.
To start with a centerfire cartridge! You may laugh but there are more that one idiot out there that think that a .22 LR cartridge is more than adequate for deer! It most certainly is not!!! If you are only 15, be sure that there is an adult who is willing to take you deer hunting. As far as caliber, a .243 Winchester is up to the task! It has mild recoil and is quite capable of cleanly killing a deer. Also the .257 Roberts is good too. Be sure that you know the hunting laws in your state. Here in Pennsylvania you would be illegal if you were to hunt with a semi-automatic firearm so be safe and be legal!!
check out a .30-30 or .35 Remington, a little older but both have taken many a whitetail deer in their day. I like .243 , .25-06 and .30-06 for all deer species. My first deer was a Kansas whitetail at 100+ yards with a .243, the deer ran about 20 yards and went down hard. I have shot 2 other whitetail since that one both with a .30-06 and neither of them went far after the shot. I used a .25-06 on mule deer in Montana at a range of 200 yards, the buck ran about 30 yards and went down, 2 doe dropped right on the spot. I like .25-06 for Mule deer and antelope and maybe blacktail deer. Good luck, whatever you choose I am sure it will bring you loads of great hunting fun.
.308 Would be fine.... Read the below articles....

Lots of info here.....


http://www.chuckhawks.com/index2d.rifles鈥?/a>








If you like the .308 then great!... There are some obvious advantages... Its a popular military caliber and is quite popular with target shooters.... Whats great about that is you can find .308 ammo in bulk at really decent prices...





Be sure to check this site out -- Although its geared more towards target shooting the info here on the .308 is quite relevant for hunting...


http://www.6mmbr.com/308Win.html





.308 in bulk = lots of practice time on the cheap...


http://www.the-armory.com/shopsite_sc/st鈥?/a>






My opinion is worth what it costs, which is nothing but....I'm partial to the .308. Let me explain, I'm a former Designated Marksman for the US Marine Corps and we shot the M40 A3 in the .308 caliber, in which I have recieved much practice. So thats why I'm comfortable with it. Now, I've seen in here where people say ';shoot what you're comfortable with'; That is outstanding and crucial advice. However, being 15 you probably don't have a whole lot of shooting experience with a lot of calibers.





Now to the science of it all, .270 Winchester and .338 Lapua Magnum are ';perfect'; rounds. Perfect meaning the powder load perfectly matches the size and weight of the round that makes them extremely flat shooting up to long distances. Meaning you wouldn't have to account for bullet drop until out past 200 yards. The wind does'nt even effect the .270 in my experience. So with all this said, for you, I say start with the .270 it's absolutely perfect and it will absolutely get the job done, brush or not.
Many good calibers for whitetails. They arent that big. Pretty much anything from a .243 on up will work. .308 is a great, versatile caliber, as is the '06.
You can go the .308 route but really it's overkill. All you really need for whitetail is .243 win.
only because it is brushy i would strongly suggest the 30-30. But if there is a feild then with out a doubt i suggest the 270. win
Either one of those will work well on deer. Chose the caliber you are most comfortable with.

if you are going to be in a wooded area i would go with 30/30 great knockdown power up to 150 yards
30-30 is a very good deer rifle. i am 15 and love my 30 -30 it will bag ya a nice buck someday
with the .. landscape .. you are describing a 30-30. i recommend a marlin 336.
ive been hunting since i was 8 and for deer ive never shyed away from the good ol .308 calliber. perfect size for killing
30-30 would be your best option.

Does anyone else feel compelled to decorate their home like a hunting lodge when it gets cold?

Why do I do this? Does anyone else do this?Does anyone else feel compelled to decorate their home like a hunting lodge when it gets cold?
Not exactly. When we lived in El Monte CA I hated it so much that I put up a full wall wallpaper of the woods. From a little distance it looked like the wall was all glass and opened onto the forest.Does anyone else feel compelled to decorate their home like a hunting lodge when it gets cold?
One Sunday my newspaper did a spread on a local couple who has a great room decorated with heads of all sorts of animals; moose, elk, bears, a tiger and who knows what else. Some of the animals were fully stuffed and standing around. Yuk. The article was in the decorating section. Boy oh boy - did the paper ever receive tons of letters about it and none were favorable! I've wondered since then if they changed their decor. People were pretty grossed out.





Is it normal? Probably not but poster away. After all, its your place and if it makes you feel warm and cozy that's all that matters.
Maybe because you associate this stuff with being inside somewhere WARM when it gets cold outside. Perfectly normal. My aunt and uncle have a cabin that looks like this in the mountains. Lots of people change up their decor seasonally. I myself do 'cool' colors like blue and white for summer and 'warm' colors like brown, orange or tan in the winter. It just seems to fit better when the weather changes. Do what makes YOU feel good, it's your house after all! I usually change up smaller things like tablecloths, rugs, curtains or pillow covers. I have a set of 'spring' colored stuff too (green, yellow, pink) as well as some Christmas stuff.

What should I know about Maine State law before owning a hunting firearm?

I actually don't hunt, and I have no plans on doing so. I do need a firearm that is capable of killing small animals, though, due to constant attacks on my chickens by wild animals. If it's important, I live in a fairly spread-out rural community.What should I know about Maine State law before owning a hunting firearm?
You don't need anything special to own a firearm in Maine. I hope not anyway, I've lived here and owned guns my whole life. I don't know what town you live in but if you are in the woods a piece I'd get a 22 caliber rifle and the 14 $ small game tag, or not. Depending on the critters bothering your chickens you can get a flashing red led light to scare most of them away. By the way, when you kill a predator you will be hunting. Best of luck to you. Hunting and Trapping laws and rules are available at most town offices and gas stations.What should I know about Maine State law before owning a hunting firearm?

What would be a good set of camouflage for spring turkey hunting?

Its pretty warm so it has to be pretty lightweight. I need something that's quiet with a good ground hunting camo pattern. Also, what are some accessories, besides calls, that would be good to have?What would be a good set of camouflage for spring turkey hunting?
Real tree works for me. Need a face net, camo gloves, camo hat, foot blind, turkey hunting chair (sits about 4 inches off the ground) Long sleeve shirt, pants, camo fanny pack for gear. Slate with two different strikers, box call, small flashlight, challenge call (crow, owl, or gobbler), camo sock for shotgun, small binoculars, and lots of bug spray. I have camo burlap to create a temporary blind or break up my silhouette. Some guys use decoys but I don't. A good hunting store can set you up with lightweight camo gear there are tons. I have not preference on brand. The key is to break up your body shape and blend. I have been so camoed that one time I was sitting still and a wren landed on my shotgun barrel as if I were a tree and hopped down the ';branch'; until it stared right at me figuring out I was not a bush or tree.What would be a good set of camouflage for spring turkey hunting?
None if you are in my area, just show up in a truck that looks like a ranch truck and the turkey's won't know its someone else. The dumb bastards have a false sense of security around us and I could damn near kill one with my bare hands if I wanted to.





But depending on your area, are you going woods? Or are you more field and woods. Find what looks most closely to where you are going to be. Real Tree might work in one area, another pattern might work fine in another.





As I said, here they are dumb enough that it is almost criminal to bother to hunt them as they don't see us as threats.
I build a blind myself, were a bug net this keeps the bugs away and hides your face as well, bug repellent around your hands, ankles, neck for ticks, bottle of cold water and calls. Of coarse gun and ammo. And set as still as poss-able another reason to use a blind it covers most body moves.
Spring Turkey: Realtree APG, Mossy Oak Obsession, Realtree Hardwoods Green, Mossy Oak Break - Up. Fall: Realtree AP. All camo you buy should tell you what pattern it's in.
a good blind works well or you could try a ghillie suit they work very good for turkey or deer
Real tree AP worked great for turkey this fall!

What 308 round should be sure used for deer hunting?

I want to hunt deer for the meat. Not the trophy. I own a .308 remington. What grain and type of round should i use for minimal meat damage? Ide like to reload later down the road as well. What might be the preferable setup for my type of hunting? Powder type and amount, primer, bullet, any other variables?What 308 round should be sure used for deer hunting?
I always recommend a bonded core or controlled expansion bullet for game,even deer. I use the Nosler Accu-Bond and the Barnes Triple Shock bullets in my 30-06 and 300 WSM, and I have absolute confidence in either out to 400 yards (hand loads). These type bullets retain near all their mass,don't tend to fragment and have dynamic terminal effectiveness.


In .308 diameter the 165-180 grain bullets give the best section densities and Ballistic Coefficients without losing velocity. With a 308 cartridge you want to stay with 165 more so,with 180 grain bullets and the short case neck you get powder impingement and decreasing performance if using SAMMI COL lengths. You could use 150 grain,but I've always had better luck with 165s in 30 calibers for consistent accuracy and performance. As for bullet design, for me the standard cup and core bullets just don't look as good once I started reloading,and event he Nosler Ballistic Tip is too frangible for my taste. Having used the Accu-Bonds I trust them, and having friends use the Barnes on an African hunt plus my using one on a bison (we bought it,not hunting) they have been 100% effective on deer,elk,Cape Buffalo,everything.


As for minimal meat damage, that comes with shot placement of a good bullet. Many standard bullets expand quickly,some near explosively ,so there can be a lot of kinetic energy transferred into the upper surfaces instead of deeper into the vitals. If you look at the Barnes video,that position on the deer,directly behind the front ';ham'; and about 1/3 up the chest is ideal for taking out heart,lungs,aortic arch,and many times the Barnes will ';over penetrate'; giving an exit wound,but they aren't large. Perfect bullet performance puts 100%of the energy into the animal,so the bullet ends up against the opposite ribs,but having an exit isn't a bad thing most of the time. Most of the bullets in the second link are bonded core or Barnes-and Barnes also makes Varmint Grenades-intended to expand explosively for varmints.


As for specific reloading info, you need 2 or 3 reloading manuals and then cross reference loads with the bullet supplier and the powder supplier for good loads and places to start. Never trust mine,your uncle Bob's or anyone else reloading information until you verify it . With that being said,BL-C(2),Varget, IMR 4064 are good powders to start with. I use CCI Large Rifle primers,but primers are what ever you can get these days, and normally not critical in a hunting round.What 308 round should be sure used for deer hunting?
The 308 approximates the power of the original loadings of the 30-06, designed to penetrate an earthen embankment and then a steel helmet! Sportsmen have found that this weapon with 200 grain bullets is adequate for big Brown bear species, often requiring multiple hits for fastest putdown. The 180 grain moose bullets have found use in trophy deer harvest, as their strong construction and heavier weight to limit velocity, combine to give extremely deep penetration from the modest expansion, allowing the Texas Heart Shot (from the rear) to ensure the trophy of a lifetime doesn't get away, at the sacrifice of much venison to gut juices. The same big bullet on broadside presentations, offers reduced venison damage, from the explosive results of using 150-165 grain bullets on deer. It has been suggested by many that the extreme waste of venison from the lighter bullets at 308/30-06 power on deer may not even be legal. Mostly, the high recoil of the full loads is simply unnecessary to endure on mere deer.





IMR-4064 powder is known for consistent performance at a variety of temperatures. I use it when appropriate. The Hornady manual shows many midrange 308 loads for low-recoiling 150 grain bullets (Nosler Partition being the best) halfway to 30-30 velocities, which still have plenty of power and trajectory for elk. Low recoil means better shooter accuracy, and more fun!
I would use a 150 grain bullet of your preference. Powder use IMR 4064, primers I would use CCI. This should work well.





I use Nosler 150 grain BT in Remington brass with 42 grains of IMR 4064 and the CCI large rifle primers. This has worked very well for me in my Remington Model 700 in 30-06 for the past 5 years. The 308 and 30-06 are both 30 caliber bullets so the same setup should work, except maybe the amount of powder you would use.





Instead of a Nosler BT (ballistic tip) you may want to load a 150 pointed soft point. The BT will really do some damage if you hit the shoulder or hit the hip bone, but a well placed shot behind the shoulder through the ribs will do well.





I have used 150 grain Sierra pointed soft points and they work very well.





I suggest that you would load up about 3 or 4 - 5 rounds sets of different varieties of bullets. Take them to the range and see what your rifle likes. If you can get ballistic gel then you will be able to see how much damage a particular bullet will do.





Gud luck
Something along the line of the 165 grain Nosler Partition would be a good pick. There are so many good premium bullets on the market these days, you can hardly pick among them, and when you get started handloading, you'll have to restrain yourself from the temptation to try them all. You'll have the same problem with propellants, so you might want to limit yourself to a few, like IMR 4064, Varget, H380, and VV N150. You can peruse the manuals for your options. Primers shouldn't be a major thing. For that sort of case, I'll often try just two, and for me, that's likely CCI 200's and BR-2's.
We use the 150 gr Sierra's....they work swimmingly! That and the Winchester 150 gr. Ballistic Silvertip. Another favorite of ours. It's been killing deer since the day we started using them. We used to use the Remington Core Loks and they would fail at times depending on the shot. the Sierras and Winchesters perform flawlessly.
Check out my YouTube channel. I have videos on things like this.

For Red, Sika, Munjac and fallow I use 180gr soft points. This is way too much for Roe as I found out!

Are there any legal issues involved if I sell my used hunting rifle directly to another private citizen?

Any paperwork? Must I use a gun dealer? Or is it just like selling someone a used freezer, for example?Are there any legal issues involved if I sell my used hunting rifle directly to another private citizen?
Assuming your in the USA......





It is completely legal for you to sell your rifle to somebody.....





Of course do what I do --- Write down from there drivers license, name, DOB and address.... That way if johnny law dropped by because the gun was used illegaly you can point them to where you sold it.....





Also if you dont like the person (maybe they look or are acting sketchy) you do not have to nor are you obligated to sell it to him.......





Otherwise it is quite legal........Are there any legal issues involved if I sell my used hunting rifle directly to another private citizen?
Well it's just like selling any peice of property. You may wan't to do a bill of sale which would be a peice of paper with gun specifics both parties sign and keep copeies of. But there really is no need to go through a gun dealer or police dept. I would reccomend not to.





Since it's a hunting rifle there usually isn't issue. That mostly encompasses handguns but it also depends on your state. Usually just asking for your states gun laws on google is a good enough start.
When a gun transfers over to another private owner, it usually stays in the original owners name. you dont have to change the name. Just be careful who you sell it to. make shure they are responsible and arn't going to do something like shoot someone or hold up a convient store. remember it is still in your name so if they do something against the law and leave the gun at the scene, the cops will come for you.


Good luck
Depends on where you live...each state has different laws so you need to check on this. Here in Virginia its perfectly legal for private individuals to sell firearms, as long as they dont do it on the property of a FFL holder. No paperwork is required, but its probably a good idea to get the buyer to give you a photocopy of ID and hold on to that for a while just in case something about it ever came up.
Each state has varying laws. For instance, in California, you can do that, but you have to go to a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder to handle the transfer. This involves the background check and 10 day waiting period.
in canada? here you need to have your buyers PAL # and have to contact the firearms registry before actually givingf them the gun. alot of hookey balookie but thus is life.
In I think three states, you must go through a dealer. In the others (I suppose that's 55 in the current administration but still 47 in my book) it's the latter.
If you're in California, you will have to go through a licensed dealer. In most of the rest if the US, it should be legal to do a private transaction. Check with your local police first.

308 and 30-06 are more powerful than you need for whitetails under any circumstances; on the other hand, nobody's ever killed one too dead, so there's no reason not to choose one of those if you want.


The middle range for deer is calibers like 6.5x55, 260 Remington, 270 Winchester, 7mm08 and 7x57 Mauser. Those are all fine performers, though the 270 is really designed more for longer ranges. At 15, I had experience with only a few calibers, myself, but over the decades have accumulated a lot more, so think of this not as your deer rifle but rather as your first deer rifle.
To start with a centerfire cartridge! You may laugh but there are more that one idiot out there that think that a .22 LR cartridge is more than adequate for deer! It most certainly is not!!! If you are only 15, be sure that there is an adult who is willing to take you deer hunting. As far as caliber, a .243 Winchester is up to the task! It has mild recoil and is quite capable of cleanly killing a deer. Also the .257 Roberts is good too. Be sure that you know the hunting laws in your state. Here in Pennsylvania you would be illegal if you were to hunt with a semi-automatic firearm so be safe and be legal!!
check out a .30-30 or .35 Remington, a little older but both have taken many a whitetail deer in their day. I like .243 , .25-06 and .30-06 for all deer species. My first deer was a Kansas whitetail at 100+ yards with a .243, the deer ran about 20 yards and went down hard. I have shot 2 other whitetail since that one both with a .30-06 and neither of them went far after the shot. I used a .25-06 on mule deer in Montana at a range of 200 yards, the buck ran about 30 yards and went down, 2 doe dropped right on the spot. I like .25-06 for Mule deer and antelope and maybe blacktail deer. Good luck, whatever you choose I am sure it will bring you loads of great hunting fun.

My opinion is worth what it costs, which is nothing but....I'm partial to the .308. Let me explain, I'm a former Designated Marksman for the US Marine Corps and we shot the M40 A3 in the .308 caliber, in which I have recieved much practice. So thats why I'm comfortable with it. Now, I've seen in here where people say ';shoot what you're comfortable with'; That is outstanding and crucial advice. However, being 15 you probably don't have a whole lot of shooting experience with a lot of calibers.





Now to the science of it all, .270 Winchester and .338 Lapua Magnum are ';perfect'; rounds. Perfect meaning the powder load perfectly matches the size and weight of the round that makes them extremely flat shooting up to long distances. Meaning you wouldn't have to account for bullet drop until out past 200 yards. The wind does'nt even effect the .270 in my experience. So with all this said, for you, I say start with the .270 it's absolutely perfect and it will absolutely get the job done, brush or not.
Many good calibers for whitetails. They arent that big. Pretty much anything from a .243 on up will work. .308 is a great, versatile caliber, as is the '06.
You can go the .308 route but really it's overkill. All you really need for whitetail is .243 win.
only because it is brushy i would strongly suggest the 30-30. But if there is a feild then with out a doubt i suggest the 270. win
Either one of those will work well on deer. Chose the caliber you are most comfortable with.
