DFGID on the Deparment of Fish and Game Web Site for Deer Hunting?

Hey, I'm in California and the Drawing results for the special deer hunts are available online and you need to enter a last name and then it asked for a dmv ID or a DFGID (Department of Fishin Game ID) and I don't know what it is I can't find it and I want to see if a got trawn for any cool hunts.DFGID on the Deparment of Fish and Game Web Site for Deer Hunting?
DMV ID refers to your state issued drivers license or state issued identification card.This normally is listrd on your hunting license, or on you application for the draw.Both require positive identification and they are the most common.DFGID on the Deparment of Fish and Game Web Site for Deer Hunting?

What kind of hunting do you do on the weekends? Why do you hunt this animal?

Last weekend, geese %26amp; ducks. They are great sport, I love to call them in. They are fun to shoot %26amp; delicious to eat...


This weekend will be deer hunting with shotgun. I love to deer hunt. It is a real challenge %26amp; is a healthy alternative to beef. They are all delicious to eat... I put them in the freezer %26amp; we eat them all year round.What kind of hunting do you do on the weekends? Why do you hunt this animal?
I go after grouse (ptarmigan this time of year) on the weekends. There is not much preparation involved in this hunt, just grab your gun, a knife, and your dog and head into the woods. They are challenging birds in the air, and they taste great.What kind of hunting do you do on the weekends? Why do you hunt this animal?
I hunt deer, turkeys, grouse, squirrels, rabbits, and bears to eat them.


I hunt foxes, coyotes, and bobcats to control their numbers and save my chickens.


I hunt groundhogs to see them explode ...!
I hunt bobcats and coons all winter long. I use both traps and hounds. I do it because I enjoy it and it and it helps me financially get through the winter when my business is slow.
deer, duck, quail, turkey. love hunting, outdoors, shooting as well as cooking and eating them. healthier than beef, etc. kill it and grill it, man!!
Fox! B/c there are benefits from keeping their numbers down, for example the roe deers and hares are more abundant with a smaller predator threat.
right now i can only hunt small game...because i am laid off in the winter and i dont drink and hang out in bars...it keeps me from going stir crazy in the winter...
I hunt terrorists cos they're savages.
i squirrel hunt because its fun and sometimes a challange
Coyote....





They are worthless ....





And a challenge to hunt.....

I really want to go hunting will you invite me to go with you?

I live in Destin Florida I am a pretty girl and am not suppose to like to hunt but would love to go hunting. Will someone tell me they have some land that I can come hunting on in Alabama or Florida or somewhere in driving distance? I really want to go hunting will you invite me to go with you?
the thing about 'going hunting' with a pretty girl you met on the internet that makes it safe is...





She is going to show up with a gun. How many internet perverts or even hardened serial rapists choose to take on armed women? Answer? Zero.





Let's say it is a scam, ugly woman, ugly man, etc posing as a hot babe. He is going to go suprise a person who also has a gun on his own land. I think it would be pretty easy for the land owner to take care of himself.





Seems to me going on a 'hunting date' is probably safer than when two internet people who have been flirting with IM or whatever decide to meet in a ';coffee house'; someplace.I really want to go hunting will you invite me to go with you?
your nuts, you would post a question like this, ok on second thoughts I don't know who should feel more afraid the person that trusts you to come hunting with them or you for being so dumb looking for a stranger to go hunting with,unless of course your already dead and you can't be hurt more
Advertise in your local newspaper for a Hunting Companion, or a Landowner who will allow you to Hunt on his property, who also Hunts.* If I lived near you, we would definitely be going Hunting, and not just because you are a pretty woman.*
I hunt ';pretty girls';, so looks like your in luck. Like they say, a pig with lipstick is still a pig, but it will be a dead one if I see it when hunting. Sorry you can't come along.
for some reason i have a feeling your far from a girl, much less a pretty one. but if you are by some chance in hell. its not wise to ask strangers!
i hunt these wild pigs,trap them and sell them live.they stink and ain't worth eating in my opinion but its fun.
Be good. Tell your Daddy you want to go hunting and maybe he will take you.



sorry i live in the great state of tennessee :D
i stay in georgia and we have major dear problems. lets you in i take care of those problems with a couple 12 gauges....
O.K. Boy's .....this smells like a set up!
i don't kill it unless i need to.
i dont hunt

What do you think about hunting, good or bad ?

do you think hunting is good or bad and why





only stong opinions pleaseWhat do you think about hunting, good or bad ?
If the good Lord didn't want us to hunt he wouldn't have made meat so tasty.


I hunt for the table, from September through to February my family and I can look forward to duck, pheasant and partridge.





The rest ot the year rabbit, hare, pigeon and venison.





All the above is shot and prepared with care. The food is fresh, tasty and far better than the shite you buy pre packed from Tesco or walmart.








P*ssed off with answering this question so I've copied and pasted a previous answer. I still haven't changed my views either.What do you think about hunting, good or bad ?
Hunting is necessary for the health of species. I'm an undergrad in Wildlife and Fisheries and can attest to this fact. If there were no hunters, there would be NO revenue from hunting licenses, ammunition, supplies etc. to buy land for these animals and to keep them protected. Groups like PETA don't donate a red cent to wildlife preservation, and would rather run ads about furry animals than to spend their money wisely. (I guess snakes and lizards don't count as animals to them.)





If not for hunting, entire populations would die off from overbrowsing, disease, etc. It's a good and necessary thing for both the animals and humans. It brings healthy, natural food for the table and creates fond memories.





Just because you're a hunter doesn't mean that you can't be an animal lover. I absolutely LOVE animals, and still get the warm fuzzy feeling inside about them. However, I just have a sound understanding of ecology, unlike most anti-hunters that base their opinions on emotions alone.
It depends on what you are hunting and why, if you are eating what you hunt it is acceptable, I believe there is no other acceptable reason to hunt. ';Overpopulation'; is BS, humans are the most overpopulated species on earth and nobody wants to address that. The animals were here first and we have no right to control their populations.
Hunting is a culture of tradition and part of that tradition is teaching each new generation of hunters respect and admiration of wildlife and all its wonders. State wildlife and parks agencies keep studies of all the species and use hunting as a tool to keep the food chain in check. Besides, there is an ebb and flow throughout the seasons of different species and they try to see that what is harvested doesn't exceed what would die through the winter anyways. If all hunting stopped tomorrow, there wouldn't be enough food for that entire population to thrive. So the question becomes, what is worse for that animal, a quick ethical kill to be eaten by the sportsman, or letting many animals slowly starve and disease to set in?


I think here awhile back they stopped coyote hunting in parts of KS. Next thing they knew, there was a sharp deline in native bird and rabbit populations. It threw the food chain all out of whack. Imagine if no animals were hunted.


I do concur with the idea that you only hunt to eat what you kill and respect the animal. I think some of the animal rights folks have misconceptions (as I am sure we do of them as well) about hunters that we just throw most animals away. I was disappointed to find out when talking with a guy from eastern OK that wild hog didn't taste that good at all. I was wanting to eventually try my hand at it, but he said it tastes awful, so that pretty much removed that option for me.


I read a report in a KS wildlife magazine here awhile back; it showed the figures for what PETA does with ';rescued animals';. A large percentage of them are euthanized, I understand their persepective but that is pretty hypocritical. And as a final thought I would love any hardcore animal rights activist to drive 300 miles in KS in the dead of the night and tell me that I shouldn't kill any deer. Should we stop driving too? Around opening day of pheasant season you'll see a deer or two every mile of any highway here in northern KS.
i think hunting is good for a number of reasons. first off it means spending quality time with my nephew or father or brothers. It also gives me the chance to enjoy nature in general. Its not like i shoot any animal i see, on occasion i simply watch the wildlife play around. I also believe that without hunting deer inparticular we would have a huge problem with overpopulation, we already do! our family consumes at least 3-4 deer in a season. now on the other hand killing leopards and lions and elephants for the fun is not right i dont care how you look at it.
well since you have asked your question in the hunting answers what kind of answers do you expect to get......other than the occasional bunny tree hugger that comes here to harass us I would say everyone on here likes to hunt and thinks it is fine......we do not need to explain ourselves to anyone
hunt only to eat. if you hunt for the kill, it's for the wrong reason. Have fun hunting, be outdoors, with family and friends. It is a sport, but do it for the food.
i love to hunt...i dont shoot an animal just to kill something..humans have been hunting since time began..if you are against hunting for the sport of it and to put food on the table..go to a slaughter house..
Hunting should be taught to all who will learn. Respect for life, and many survival skills are learned. Why would you ask a bunch of hunters such a question??
its a great thing, and we as hunters do far more then PETA freaks.


so its win-win for us and our prey.
Bad.





hurting animals and killing them is horrible. I am an animal lover myself, and I am a vegetarian. I would not kill animals as a hobby. That is just pathetic and sad.





hope this helps

Im looking for a gun that can be used as both a hunting rifle and a home defence rifle.?

i heard rifles can over penetrate but i heard that can be remedied by hollow pointing the bullets, but still i am worried that even if certain bullets are hollow pointed they would still over penetrate. Also I heard that hollow points are inaccurate is that true? and lastly i really prefer the Lee Enfield .303 , the M1 Garand, the 3a4 , the 3a3, and the m1 carbine, are those good choices for what i want? (yeah i like bolt action rifles)Im looking for a gun that can be used as both a hunting rifle and a home defence rifle.?
....for close quarters, a shotgun (w/ BB or OO size shot) is really your best choice for home defense....a semi m1 carbine would be reasonable (but not for hunting)....though if you prefer a bolt rifle, that infers a little more reach out and touch (and over penetration will be a real concern) and slow sustained rate of fire....however a 12ga Browning A-bolt with a sabot slug is a good choice for hunting too (w/o having to worry what is miles down range) though I would never suggest using shot shells through a rifled barrel....





....if you have a perimeter to defend (and clear field of fire), a SK, mini 14 or ar-15 will give a higher sustained rate of fire with good accuracy 200-300m....as well a M1A1 (.308) or a Garand (.30-06) will offer heavier hitting power and good accuracy 300-600m++....but not legal for hunting in many places....





....though back to the bolt actions....the Enfield makes a good elephant gun (lol), depending upon your proficiency and quality of the rifling (remember a lot of these rifles have been fired literally 10's of thousands of times) should be good for hunting or perimeter defense 300-600m++....but for close quarters, hahaha, unless you have a bayonet....then take it off and stab the f'r....just remember to have a .357 in your other hand in case it gets stuck....lol


**edit**Im looking for a gun that can be used as both a hunting rifle and a home defence rifle.?
In regards to accuracy, the ranges you will be dealing with in a home defense situation are less than 10 yards, so hollow points will not really be zooming off on odd tangents or anything of that sort.





If you want a good hunting rifle that'll also serve you well as a home-defense rifle, I can suggest the Ruger Tropical 1 .375 H%26amp;H magnum. This is unfortunately a single-shot, but with the .375 H%26amp;H round, you can stop a buffalo, so you can definately stop a man.





But for home-defense? A rifle? Maybe get yourself a Mossberg 590, or a pistol (plenty of threads here on CCW and personal defense pistol preferences). Rifles in general aren't that good for home defense. But if you like bolt action rifles, I'm tellin ya, go for the Ruger No. 1 It's less than a grand, and it WILL stop anything you hit.
You are asking for a double weapon. One for long range shooting at game animals and another for very short range, inside the home use. The long range gun should range 100 to 300 yards with good knockdown for all game and the short range which must have a fast muzzle swing and be on your person at all times in your home. This also must have knock down power but little secondary penetration. It should go in and rattle around but not come out. In home if it penetrates the target of a full size person and goes out it may penetrate a house wall. If you miss and it penetrates a wall it could also do the same in the neighbors wall. For home security, know who is in your home. Most home intrusions, the intruder has been in the home in the recent past. Who do you intend to defend against? Other neighbors? Gangs, why are they bothering you?
Hollow point bullets in rifle calibers will penetrate walls just as bad as any other bullet.





The only rifle I consider useful for hunting and defensive use is a lever-action carbine in pistol calibers.





My Social Rifle is a pre-safety Rossi M-92 Saddle Ring Carbine in .357 Magnum. If you don't handload, a Rossi M-92 in .44 RemMag or .45 LC, or a Marlin M-1894 in the same calibers would be a better choice.





The major advantage to using a pistol caliber lever-action rifle as your hunting and defense rifle is that you can use high performance magnum loads for hunting, and for in home defensive use, you can load it with .38 SPL or .44 SPL ammo for adequate power and less danger of over penetration. And you have ten fast shots on tap if you need them.





The .303 Enfield, or .30-'06 M-1 Garand are lousy choices for home defense, unless you live way out in the country and want to defend your home at long range. An M-1 Carbine would be a fair home defense rifle, but it is pretty iffy as a deer cartridge.





BTW, the M-1 Garand and M-1 Carbine are both semi-automatic firearms, not bolt-actions.





Doc
If you are going to use a long gun for HD ir should be a riot gun or carbine





Of the guns you listed the M1Carbine is the only one I would choose, but I'm not so sure that I like the caliber for hunting anything over small deer or small hogs





The Garand, 03s and Enfield are great hunting guns (unless you are restricted to five rounds then the Garand is out) but I think they would be too cumbersome to be considered a suitable HD gun unless you plan on using them for perimeter defense





I don't think I would ever restrict myself to a bolt action for interior HD these days
from a serious rifle, the hollowpoints are still going to rip though walls like nobodies business.





Check http://www.theboxotruth.com/ for wall penetration tests.





The M-1 carbine won't cut it as a hunting rifle, the M1 Garand and the 1903A3/4 are a bit hard to find, and for the same amount of cash you can get a brand spanking new bolt action rifle by remington, winchester, tikka, savage, cz, and a whole slew of others.





It would help us help you if we knew what kind of hunting you were interested in.





Get an SKS, hard to go wrong there, and it is inexpensive.
okay, first you want two separate guns. any of those above rifles would be fine for hunting deer, except the m1 carbine. it is good out to 100 m or so, but i wouldn't suggest hunting with it. the reason that bullets over penetrate is because they are high powered and high velocity. as for hollow points, they will penetrate but not as far as a full metal jacket. hollow point bullets are very accurate.


as for a home defense weapon, get yourself a nice 12 gauge shotgun...that is by far the best home defense out there.....


hope this helps you out....and good luck with your choice
Rifles in most situations are not good home defense weapons. Commonly one would use a handgun for home defense and a rifle for hunting.


I think for your situation you should consider two firearms for your two scenarios. Hunting I would look at a 30-06 and for home defense a colt 1911 variant. Hope that helps
Rifles are never good choices for home defense, and hollow-point bullets can be relied upon to expand, go through a person, and keep going a long, long ways. If you must, you'll want something quite short and handy like the Remington model 7, in a light caliber with a varmint bullet.
The gun that fits the bill is a Mossberg 500 field / security model... It comes with 2 barrels. One for barrel is for hunting and when you get home swap in the 18 1/2 inch defense barrel..... Take a look below... If you really want a rifle then be aware ALL rifle bullets can overpenetrate... Use hollow or soft point rifle bullets for less penetration but be aware they can still endanger a family member or neighbor in the next house..... I have a Mossberg 500 for home defense AND a Ruger Mini 14..... The Ruger is smaller, light weight AND MOST OF ALL its polite looking.... If you justifiable had to shoot an attacker in your home there still is a possibilty that a district attorney will still have a grand jury hearing to see if you should be charged..... Do you really want him holding up some big military type rifle???? Get a Mossberg 500 or a Ruger Mini 14....
in an urban situation, a rifle may be the worst choice for home defense, even with a hollow point bullet. As noted, the main reason is over penetration and liability. A much better choice is a good shotgun with a 20'; barrel. this will work very well for home defense, and with slugs, can be used for hunting any north American animal out to 100 yards. yes this limits you to closer shots for hunting. But it is a trade off to get the home defense weapon/hunting weapon as one. Now if your anticipating the end of the world, or massive riots with a breakdown of civilization, then by all means go with a better ranging, faster shooting semi auto rifle in a heavier caliber such as the Springfield M'14 in .308 caliber. but the best choice is going to be, get one type for home defense (shotgun with short barrel) and one for hunting.


good luck
I would agree with most answers, a shot gun would be your best bet. or a pistol,,,,,,rifle as stated can pass through and wound a by stander putting you in deep crap,,,,a good load of 000 buck or 00 buck works much better,,,,





Stay away from the M1 cabine,,,,,,,its rather weak and not a good choice.
What are you hunting?


Sounds like you need a shotgun.


You can use buck shot for home defense or even some hunting.


If you need to take down a bigger animal, just use slugs.


You can use birdshot for smaller animals and birds obviously.
THE ONES YOU PREFER WOULD BE FINE...A HOLLOW POINT IS NOT ANY LESS ACCURATE THAN A REGULAR SHOT...IT JUST DEPENDS ON YOUR AIM...GOOD LUCK
Get yourself a 30-30.* Thats all you'll need.*
get a pump action shotgun. and buckshot.
First of all are you living in a state that has a castle doctrine ?


if so your in good shape , if not I'd move to a state that believes in the constitution and the bill of rights .


2. The weapons aren't exactly the choice weapons for home defense . Think about it , your going to check your home for intruders, ever think of the length of your weapons ? its hard to navigate the muzzle on possible target or worse targets coming around a corner in your home (cutting the pie )


3. Realistically a rifle is for long distance like your Lee Enfield 303 and your M-1 Garand are for basic infantry and snipers of W.W.2 and Vietnam era


4. Now if you want to protect yourself your family and home you should purchase a 12 Ga. pump get rid of the shoulder stock and get a adjustable M-4 style stock by Knox Ind. this way you've given yourself the advantage of having heavy firepower and the ability to navigate through your home and keeping muzzle on target get a fiber optic scope for quick acquisition targeting or a very good laser / light combination


make sure it is grip activated so you dont remove your hands


from your weapon at any time


5. if you live in an apartment I suggest bean bag rounds or bird shot (however my rule is bird shot is for birds slugs are for thugs) if you live in a house 00 buck if you live in the country slugs and 00 buck stack them slug ,00 slug , 00 and so on and if you don't kill the threat make sure it cant have kids ( if they are that stupid to break into your home they got no need to breed )


6. Last but not least buy a handgun in .45 cal . its a big and slow round but very very effective in stopping power . make sure it isn't a cheaply made handgun either stay away from highpoint its garbage ( the slide breaks around the recoil spring ) and make sure your pistol can handle +P rounds i prefer CorBon +P sometimes an intruder wears a vest seems to be the new thing now so aim at the pelvic region you'll most likely hit bone if they cant stand they cant fight .


in short you want 2 different weapons 1 for home and 1 for hunting. good luck in your desision .

How can I achieve the greatest amount of kills;when shooting/hunting crows with my .22 caliber air rifle?

Thanks for the detailsHow can I achieve the greatest amount of kills;when shooting/hunting crows with my .22 caliber air rifle?
Try putting on head-to-toe cammo, and sitting within your range of an owl decoy. It will probably only work once, since they will remember, but if you have other areas to go, giver! Shotgun works sooo much nicer with a distress crow call and a nice canopy to conceal you. The 'pass' shooting is priceless. They keep coming under the canopy to see what is wrong until you miss one, then they are gone. Good Luck.





Lock and load.How can I achieve the greatest amount of kills;when shooting/hunting crows with my .22 caliber air rifle?
It seems there is a hunting season for crows (124 days/year) and you need a license to shoot them. Apparently Hawaii is the only state where you cannot shoot crows.


(When you want to do research, ask a librarian.)

What type of .12 Gage loads should i use for squirrel hunting?

should i use regular game loads in my .12G?


or should i use bird or buck shot?


its my first time using it for squirrels, i dont want to blow a huge hole in it...lol.What type of .12 Gage loads should i use for squirrel hunting?
In a 12 guage I would recommend a #4 or #5 lead shot, 2 3/4 inch shell, low brass is all you'll need. Winchester makes a X124 that should work well.


The reason you want a larger pellet is for energy, to penetrate the hide of a fox squirrel, which is very tough.


But I might add, in early season when there is a lot more leaves on the trees, you may want to shoot a #6 shot size. This gives you a lot more pellets than a #4 and is sufficient for taking squirrels. As the leaves come down, you can go to a larger pellet size, #4 for instance and efficiently bring the squirrel down.


I am the ammo man, and work the ammo counter at a large sporting goods store in Mich.What type of .12 Gage loads should i use for squirrel hunting?
That sorta depends on the time of the season.





If you are hunting early in the season when there are a lot of leaves and it is really tough to ge a clear shot, then 71/2 would work in a 12.





If you are hunting later in the season when all the leaves are gone then 6 is fantastic! 7 1/2 will not give you the range needed at that time of year.





#4 and #5 are designed with the Turkey, fox, and coyote hunters in mind and are not the best for squirrels if you want good eating.





Anything bigger is strictly overkill, but fun if you have a housefull of treerat invaders.
I would use regular 2 3/4 shells but you can get high brass for extra power but since its a 12 gauge you should be good to go.





I used 3 inch mags for squirrel but that was a 20 gauge and not a 12 though.





Its more on personal preference if you dont like performance of normal get high brass but DONT GET 3 INCH MAGS for 12. Keep in mind i only got 3 for 20 gauge.





I would go with #6 shot





(((((Conclusion:


Use 2 3/4 or 2 3/4 high brass with #6 shot or 5 since they get a strong coat when it gets cold out.))))
Don't use Buck shot unless you like your squirrel in several pieces:o) Use a #6 bird shot 2 3/4'; load. Still, if any way possible, aim at the head so you don't ruin so much of meat with shot pellets. The way I prefer to hunt squirrel is with a 22 and shoot them in the head. Makes them easier to clean.
NO not buck shot -- the pellets would fly right right on by and miss..... I use #6 game loads... 2 3/4 inch cartridges are fine.... If mr squirrel is quite a distance and / or you want to obliterate him then step up to 3 inch turkey loads.....





This stuff works real good on small critters....





http://www.remington.com/products/ammuni鈥?/a>
I would use something like a 9 or an 8 shot. Obviously you don't need the bigger pellets because a squirrel is small. So with a 9 shot your going to have more shot and hence a greater chance of killing it. Farther shots may require something more like a 7 1/2.
no. 4 shot i find is the best for any game of the squirrel/rabbit size.





yer bird shot no. 4





Um mate just grab you 22 and shot it in the head if your an accurate marksmen you shouldn't have to much trouble





but the shot gun is much easier
Use standard 2 3/4 inch loads with number 4, 5, or 6 shot. Those are good loads for squirrels. Buckshot is way too large. A squirrels hide is tough, so stay away from the smaller shot (7 1/2 and 8 shot) as well.



my dad always told me if i couldnt hit em in the head with a 22 i didnt need to go. That said, they make small game loads just for things liek rabbits and squirrels. I still use a 22 to this day when i go squirrel hunting.
Bird shot is alright but you may have to take out alot of shots, the best thing to use is a 22 and shoot him in the head!* Good Hunting!*
Any 7/8 ounce to 1 1/4 ounce load of #6 to #4 will work fine. 7 1/2 will work, but I prefer the larger shot size and better penetration.
buck shot would be way too much for squirrels. there wouldn't be much left. I would go smaller with 7 1/2 or 6 and you should be good to go. Have fun and good luck!
Game loads with a shot size of #6. No magnum, no buckshot, no heavy load needed. Your going after Squirrel.






buck shot and all that well be left is a few hairs.


use bird shot.
Use number 4 or 5 bird shot for the Squirrel for best results.*
I use 4 shot with good results
What have squirrels ever done to you? Why do you feel that they deserve to die?





At least give them a sporting chance by using a sling shot.

Where can i get pictures or videos of dogs fighting or hunting specifically Akita's?

I got an akita he's seven months old and weighs just over seven stone my mate can't grasp how powerful he is or how powerful hes gonna get. she keeps telling me that her staffie would kill it but he nearly tore him apart when she brought him down im trying to prove a point.Where can i get pictures or videos of dogs fighting or hunting specifically Akita's?
I like your additional info and thanks for posting it as I was about to get stroppy with you! Sorry!!!





Akitas are lovely dogs but need a firm, kind owner. I don't know about pics of Akitas fighting, I for one would hate to find any, but suggest you get your mate t have a word with your national Akita breed association for confirmation of your point, or speak to your vet,





The one thing a Staffs has over most dogs is it's ability to lock its jaws. When it does so, you have a hell of a job getting it's teeth out of whatever or whoever it has got hold of. I'm sure you don't need telling that for this reason you need to keep your Akita away from your mate's argumentative Staffs. I know from my own experience... one of my dogs is a Staffs cross who got into an arguement with a purebred (the poor soul only went up to it for a sniff!). The Staffs took objection and it was only because it's owner punched it on the nose (awful I know, but if he hadn't his dog would have torn mine to bits) that the Staffs let go.





Look after your Akita, give him lots of love and you'll have a friend for life with this loyal breed. And tell your mate that it isn't worth her Staffs getting hurt for her to find out that she is wrong!Where can i get pictures or videos of dogs fighting or hunting specifically Akita's?
Is your friend off her head? A Staffy is no match for an Akita.....Your friend needs to grow up.....don,t tell me if you got a black cat shes got a blacker one. I think you need to get yourself a better friend than the one you already have.
Read your own question again, then maybe you'll realise how much of a prick you sound.





Does it really matter whose dog is ';hardest';?





You say that you are trying to prove a point, but your point is irrelevant.





Grow up.
and what are you going to gain then just tell your mate that you are not worried what she thinks you don't want your dog to fight and if she wants to know how strong your dog is then tell her to get a book and read it you don't have to prove any point to her why did you let the dogs fight when they where together if you are only trying to prove a point i think you should have that dog taking away from you and so does she why did she let her staffy any where near your dog you both need to grow up and just watch what you are doing as for the new law that is in if someone can prove that you are not taking care of that dog and so your mate you may end up with a big fine so if you love that dog then keep it away from that staffy no matter what she thinks i would never put my dogs in that sort of danger
go to google press video then put what you want to see
WHO THE **** CARES WHAT YOUR MATE THINKS. AN AKITA WOULD KILL A STAFFIE.
So your dog is your pride and joy? but its ok to watch and therefore encourage others to fight their dogs. Its people like you that actively encourage this sick trade.
Your question still sounds sick and so does the behaviour of you and your friend - why if you are a true dog lover would you put your beloved dog in a situation where a dog fight was starting? Particularly because of the behaviour you are teaching....





Tell your friend to do the research preferably without watching videos and leave the subject well alone.





I think both dogs would do better with more mature caring owners frankly
why do you need to prove that a dog will tear another one apart you sicko,


they are a mans best friend, not a weapon or something to brag about
I'd tell your mate to give up the crack. She must be crazy. She wouldn't want to see an Akita really fighting, nor would I. I would be brickin it.
What a very ignorant, immature c**t you are. F**K off and die
Check Animal Control, I think they likely have videos that they will be using for upcoming court cases that they could show you.
You shouldn't own any pets or have any children. You're sick.
You are committing an offence under the new Animal Welfare Act 2006 (UK) if you own a video of a dog fight
OK, so if you're the wonderful dog owner you say you are, why on earth would you want to see pictures or footage of two animals tearing each other apart. Yes you are sick and you should be ashamed of yourself. In fact, you're a disgrace to decent dog owners for even thinking looking at things like this is acceptable. And it sounds like your mate is worse.

Can wild game spot you when your wearing bright orange while hunting?

Game such as Deer, Boar, Turkey, etc.Can wild game spot you when your wearing bright orange while hunting?
No most game are colorblind and can't tell what your wearing. Although, scientists have proven that deer can see blue very well and if your a wearing blue while hunting you will stick out like a sore thumb and the deer with most likely get spooked on first sight of you. Good luck hunting!Can wild game spot you when your wearing bright orange while hunting?
Color is irrelevent when hunting. What gets animals suspicious is movement, particularly sudden movement.





The reason it's not a good idea to not smoke while hunting, for instance, isn't because the smoke spooks them. It's the flashing movement of your hand rising and falling to and from your mouth.





Although deer are, supposedly, color blind, turkey are not. Color, in fact, plays an important role in their courtship.





If you are sitting still, however, despite what you are wearing, game animals can, and do, walk right up to you without realizing you are a threat.





So, considering that the effect on game is null, and the high safety factor of wearing orange, only a fool foregoes it.
Yes, they can. They can also spot you if you're wearing camo.


Turkeys have excellent vision. Deer less so, and they're colorblind, though a solid orange vest is still a solid blob of one shade. Hogs can see probably about as well as you can, but they spend so much time rooting you have an advantage, assuming you don't also have your nose in the ground!
Although there is no certainty about this, there seems to be a lot of evidence that they are as a matter of fact, color blind. I have hunted squirrels and other small games while wearing red shirts and other intense colors and shot just as many as my hunting friends who wore full camouflaged clothing. I can't say anything about wild games but there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.





For a couple of times, I stood out in an open area while wearing an orange vest and had whitetail deer flush out of the woods and run past me. The mammals seem to rely on hearing and their sense of smell in order to detect danger more than eyesight. They are very quick to spot your movements though.





Hope this helps.
Deer see in shades of grey. That is not to say that they see color the way we do, but they see color.





If you hunt enough, you will see that Deer often eat red Berries. I have watched deer walk across large fields to feed on berries. How do they see the red berries. And who is to say that what we see is all the color there is. How would anyone really know if Deer see orange.





I know that if you wash your clothes in Commercial laundry soap, deer can see the Ultra Violet rays that are reflected by the moon and the stars.





We use night vision technology to pick up UV light in night vision goggles. Deer have that capability from birth. Maybe they think we are color blind.





The point I am making is that Deer do see color, just not the way we see them. I have been spotted while wearing orange from 50 meters away, yet this year, I passed up 3 small buck, and a Doe with my Bow, so I could shoot the 8 point at the end of the line of deer. I hunt in camo with the Bow.





As far as Turkey are concerned, they have awesome vision, and can see the slightest of movement as well as color.





No doubt, Deer see orange. They see it, and recognize it as being alien to their enviroment. But I wear it, and I hope the hunter 100 meters away sees it too before he begins to fire at a deer between us.
Deer are color-blind and should not be able to pick out the color. I've deer-hunted in bright red coveralls and the deer didn't notice me. I understand that boar and turkey have very keen eyesight and (presumably) can distingush colors. So hunting these is where camo would give you an edge.





H



I know at least deer are color blind, so you will only be spotted by other hunters; unless you want to end up like Cheney's friend, I'd use it, since a deer wouldn't see you easier than if you had on camo, and other hunters would.
Deer are colorblind. When they see orange, it looks like white. So with the orange camo, you could look like a birch tree. I don't know about boar, but turkey can see if you have one nostril bigger than the other.
Who cares? I want the other guy in the woods with a gun to SEE ME. Of course animals can see bright orange, but so what, they don't know what its for. By the way, a turkey has extremely good eyesight.
Yeah by wearing orange it lowers your chances of not being seen but when you wear orange you can be sure that your not gonna be mistaken for a Deer, Turkey, or Boar when your hunting
Most can't distinguish orange from drab colors like brown. There are some animals that can though, I believe bears are one of them.
most animals can only see green and blue, so they can';t see orange cause they don't have the right parts in their eyes like we do, that's why.
Some animals are colorblind, so they won't know what color you're wearing. For the ones that can see color.... I'll go with yes.
your all morons and science is wrong! all animals see color !!!!end confersation...figure it out!
no

How would you keep your spirits up if you are job hunting and constantly hearing?

we'll call you or we are meeting with more people, we'll let you know either way....do you get discouraged??How would you keep your spirits up if you are job hunting and constantly hearing?
Those words don't discourage me; they're usually telling the truth! They won't make a decision until they do interview everyone and they will call their final candidate. Just remember, Cindy Crawford was turned down many times before someone gave her the time of day and she became one of the best known models of our times! Who's smiling now?!How would you keep your spirits up if you are job hunting and constantly hearing?
How many jobs have you applied for? What type of job are you looking to get? Do you feel that your resume and interview skills can get you the job you are trying to get?





You shouldnt get discouraged you should look at what you can do to make yourself better.

Which movie did you like better: The Departed or Good Will Hunting?

I just saw Good Will Hunting and I LOVED it!!!!! I'm a major The Departed fan too! DiCaprio powns! He's amazing! I love Matt Damon too! Their both great actors. Which one do you like better? Coming from a 14 year old big Leonardo DiCaprio fan I would normally say the Departed, but Good Will Hunting was sooooooo great and Matt Damon is awesome! I'm not a big Damon fan too!





Which movie did you like better?Which movie did you like better: The Departed or Good Will Hunting?
I think the Departed. Better story line. Better Actors! LOLWhich movie did you like better: The Departed or Good Will Hunting?

I want to know a good hot spot for dove hunting on september 1st. Any Suggestions?

I would go to a neighboring state if you want to have a good hunting trip. Try going to Nevada.I want to know a good hot spot for dove hunting on september 1st. Any Suggestions?
I promise this is not intended to be sarcastic or mean...





but if they have any good hunting spots, they probably wouldn't tell you. Good hunting land is gaurded like national secrets. You just gotta get out there and do some scouting on your own.





I live in Arkansas, so I don't have a clue :)I want to know a good hot spot for dove hunting on september 1st. Any Suggestions?
Same question I've been asking myself.





Public lands are going to be CROWDED this year in SoCal, unfortunately.

Yes. By the way, what state did you plan on hunting in?

Looking for a good hunting gun?

I am looking for one gun to use to hunt squirrell, rabbit and turkey. What is the best gun for the job? Will a 410 cover it or do i need something a little bigger?Looking for a good hunting gun?
For squirrel and rabbit I use a .22, but a .410 wouldn't be bad. The smallest you can go on turkey is 20GA. But .20 Ga is an OK gun for rabbit and squirrel. If you ever get into hunting deer a 20Ga will work well for that too.Looking for a good hunting gun?
A 20 gauge will do it, but you will be ahead to get a 12 gauge. Squirrels and rabbits are small, and pretty easy, but turkey are tough birds and a 12 will give you effective killing power out to 40 yards. Get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500. Both are pump actions and are excellent all-around guns.





(The .410 bore is really not a beginners gun - it's more of an experts gun. Plus, the ammo is more expensive and harder to find.)
When I was a younger lad we used hunt turkey with a rifle. Go with a .243 or better yet for your hunting purposes, a marlin lever action in .44 mag .357mag 30/30 ( if you are a bigger lad). get something relatively small. a lever action should fit your needs.





or you could go with a .22 mag. a.22 hornet, or a .22/250 (the most expensive of the 3 .22 caliber options).





BUT, if you really want a shotgun go with a .20 gauge (or a 28 gauge but the rounds are a bit more expensive) a 410 is to small.
NO!!!





A 410 will not work for Turkey. A .410 is great as a survival shot gun where you would hunt only rabbits and squirrel.


All these critters are Best taken with a 20 or a 16. For Turkey, a 12 is a must.





Why fool around. Get a good 12 with a few extra barrels; one for Turkey, and one for Deer.





If you get a quality gun like a Remington, Winchester, or Bennelli, you have the one gun to hunt anything.





Good luck
A lot will depend on the state you are hunting in. Some states require certain shot for turkey. Illinois is one of those. I am not sure you will find that type of shot in a .410 shell.





A .410 would be hard pressed to fill the bill for turkey. Unless you are extremely still and quiet and the turkey comes within 15 yards, you will probably just wound a turkey. They are very tough and usually take some pellets to the neck and head to kill them. A 410 would have less of those so needs a shorter distance to shoot and kill.





If you got a 12 ga. you would be pretty much set for most types of hunting including deer. There are so many different chokes, barrel lengths and shot sizes as well as powder charges, it would be fairly easy to find one just right for your listed needs.





Good Luck.
Mate get a 12gauge. 12 gauge has the widest variety of shells so when you want to start shooting larger game, you will have a gun for it. The 410 will kill a rabbit but if you want to start shooting larger animals or use buchsot then get a 12 gauge. You wont regret it
If you can only have 1 gun then I can only suggest a 22LR if it's legal where you are.





For rabbit and squirrel a .410 is more than enough, some air weapons will do the job.





For turkey you need at least a .410 but a 12 guage is a better choice.





Ian M



you could do it with a 410 but a 12gauge would work better.


a 410 would be fine for rabbit and squirrel but hard pressed for a turkey.





NO a 12gauge well not blow a rabbit away, nor a squirrel if you use the right loads.
Ha you don't need anything as big a a 12 gauge, 410 should do the job and possibly a 20 gauge. 12 gauge would blow the squirrel to pieces and same with rabits.
I'd go with a 12 gauge shotgun.


Very versatile...
nahh a 410 won't cover it. Try an ak-47, hahahaahhahahaha

How old do you have to be to go bow hunting by urself and take the course.?

I want to get my bow lisence in NY and i want to know how old you have to be. i am 12 and my friend said 12 so im guessing 12 but he may be wrong.


http://www.northtroystag.org/?x=12 (website im getting it from)How old do you have to be to go bow hunting by urself and take the course.?
You are old enough at 12 to hunt, but if you go to the link below you can read the details and know the regulations as they are stated in the NY hunting guide. NEVER ask for opinions of hunting law in a public opinion site. You may find yourself violating based on the answers you receive or what people ';THINK';. This is why I posted the actual site with the actual regulations. Ignorance of the law isn't an excuse.How old do you have to be to go bow hunting by urself and take the course.?
I think it is 18 years old.
Why do you want to kill animals? Why not take their photos not their lives?

How old do you have to be to own a hunting license?

most states 13 and u have to take hunters safty course. if not u wait until 18How old do you have to be to own a hunting license?
Not sure of the minimum age in Illinois, but if you were born after 1/1/80, you have to take hunter safety.How old do you have to be to own a hunting license?
It depends on the state in which you live, and sometimes also, what kind of game you wish to hunt. Supply us that information and we can help.





Somewhere between 10 and 14 is pretty standard though.
most states 12 or 13 yrs, but now many are offering lifetime licenses that you can buy for your newborn even though not required until later in life. The website below has a link to all 50 states DNR for more information.
In my state, you can hunt without a license until you turn 16, but if you don't have an adult with you, you have to have the hunter safety course certificate.
Well, you need to be 12 to hunt and carry a firearm. But I know in some of the southern states, you can hunt and carry a gun and kill an animal, as long as you are accompanied by someone over 18.
well you can get one at any age but in most states you must go through a hunter ed. course if you are 12-17
in the bluegrass (kentucky) state it's 16
12 in South Dakota w/ a hunter safty class must hunt w/ adult

What are small, flat-bottom boats such as duck hunting boats prone to do?

Nice wide stable platforms to hunt from. Good manners when underway. Unless you have an idiot trying to show off when driving you should have a nice trip. Pay attention to the maximum loading of the vessel and always wear a life vest, even if you can swim.What are small, flat-bottom boats such as duck hunting boats prone to do?
they get you into shallow water, and makes it easier to hunt, and fish where other boats cant go. unlike the V bottom, you can stand up on a flat floor.

How can i take my scent away when im hunting without buying stuff?

i want to go hunting but im not sure how to take my scent away without buying somethingHow can i take my scent away when im hunting without buying stuff?
you can make your own cover scent, just gather some leaves,dirt, twigs, pine needles, whatever you have available where you hunt, boil it in water for a couple of minutes then dump it into a bottle, of coarse you want to run it through some kind of filter but it wont cost you but a little bit of time.How can i take my scent away when im hunting without buying stuff?
To do this on a budget use Ivory shop to wash your body and hair ( it is scent free ) Then use baking soda to wash your hunting clothes then store them in a clean garbage bag or a new plastic storage container of some kind. I did this for years before I started buying scent free hunters soap , shampoo , and detergent!!
There's not much you can do without buying something. Showering without using fragrance impregnated soap would be a start, and shaving your body hair may reduce your body odor slightly, but you'd have to shave your body hair for that. Letting your hunting gear set out to let the detergent smell dissipate will help. There are inexpensive ways to cover your scent, including some specialty hunting soaps, but you generally will get what you pay for for scent blocking, I hate to say.





The thing you should ask yourself is if it's really worth it to smell less. The effects of odor blocking has long been debated over it's effectiveness.
I cut some pine branches and hang my hunting cloths with the pine branches for about a week before the season opens. Leaves them with a nice pine smell that as far as I can tell overrides any scent I may have.
I made this scent killer myself once and trust me, it works BEAUTIFULLY! When I made it I didn't have to do any shopping, I had all the ingredients I needed.





To find out the recipe, click here: http://www.fieldandstream.com/fieldstream/photogallery/0,13355,1215541_1,00.html
Well dont shower the night b4 or morning of with shampoo or soap. Also leave all your hunting cloths and boots outside to air out weeks b4 the hunt and you should be good.
Don't smoke or chew tobacco before you hunt. Don't relieve your bladder around your stand. Don't wear aftershave. Shower without soap. Hunt into the wind. Check your back track.
Ingredients: 16oz. hydrogen peroxide 16oz. distilled water 1/2 cup baking soda 1oz. unscented shampoo (natural resources unscented liquid hunter soap works great)


Step 1) Gently combine all the ingredients in a large bowl until all the baking soda dissolves. Pour this mixture into a 1-gallon lidded container. Let it sit for three days with the lid on loosely to allow gasses to escape.





Step 2) Fill a plastic bottle that has a trigger sprayer with the scent killer. Make sure it is clean.





Step 3) To make scent killing wipes, place brown multi fold paper towels - the kind that comes in stacks, not on a roll - in a small plastic tub with an airtight lid. Cover them with scent killer and let it soak in. Pour out excess liquid and replace the lid.





Please make sure all containers are not clear plastic. Light destroys the properties of this solution quickly. If put into the proper tight sealing container it was last 4 months without a problem.





You may have to purchase something or other if you don't have all this stuff on hand. Remember, nothing you do will make you completely odor free so it is best to hunt with the wind in your favor.

Write on conservation of environment with regard to banning hunting?

about 10 lines... thank you!Write on conservation of environment with regard to banning hunting?
Hunting IS a form of conservation....as wildlife management. I am not going to go into details..you should do some more research...but hunting saves more wildlife than it kills.Write on conservation of environment with regard to banning hunting?
Conservation is a very inexact art. Most nations are just now trying to regain the natural heritage that made them nice places to live to begin with.


It is important to deal with nature on a modern and scientifically balanced format. We have to repair hundreds of years of ignorance and neglect as well as clean up polluted air and water.


Hunters pay to keep much of our countries natural habitats in pristine condition. Unfortunately, many apex predators have been eliminated in much of North America. These predators must be replaced by responsible hunters and fishermen. Without hunters deer, elk, and boar would quickly overpopulate their habitat and begin starving in mass numbers.


We need solutions to the problems of Zebra Muscles, and Snake head fish, to name only two. Without hunting and fishing we wouldn't know what conditions are affecting wildlife.
If you consider the banning of hunting to be related to conservation, you have no idea of what conservation is. As I suspect that you are doing this for a class, I think that you'd better learn ASAP. Conservation does not necessarily mean preservation and it certainly does not mean letting things get out of balance.
Hunting is not going to be ';banned'; because people like you don't like it. The sales of hunting licenses is up nationwide, and now women are getting into hunting as well. Hunting is a tradition in this country, and it is here to stay. I love the Second Amendment. I love firearms and hunting. My wife likes it. I have mounted deer on the wall. I will be archery hunting in a month, and rifle hunting after that. --- Hope this helps.
I believe hunting shouldn't be banned. People hunt for many reasons- primarily because the meat is likely not to have steroids in it. As long as people don't treat it like a game, I have no problem with it. I do not approve of people who shoot a bear and hold its head up to take a victory photo like some trophy. That's just disrespectful on your part.





As long as you don't waste the meat, hunting shouldn't be something disliked. If you poach, I hope you get prison time.
As a hunter I can tell you, I and every other hunter most likely contribute more to conservation then you do. Educate yourself more before asking such questions and you wont end up looking like a fool (like you do now)
You are commanding people to write on creating awareness among people about lack of resources, banning hunting %26amp; afforestation. You must make a request.
YOU
Unless and until animals are diseased and cannot be treated or there is no other alternative only then they should be hunted down.





Hunting a maneater should be a last resort if all attempts have failed. Besides ';IF WE CANNOT GIVE LIFE TO SOMEONE , HOW CAN WE TAKE A LIFE OF SOMEONE ';





Humans don't need to hunt animals, animals have their own hunters i.e carnivorous animals.





Also because we are no longer stone age people who need to hunt for food.





It is also a fact that we will not die if we don't eat meat.


There are so many alternatives to meat. It is all about what the tongue wants. The tongue here in case is addicted to meat.


Meat itself is not good for health as it causes lots of diseases especially bush meat.

Hunting is more harmful when people tend to hunt for leisure or trophies.





Hunting has also become commercialized like that of fishes, whales etc which is causing their population to decline. Do these hunters think that what will they hunt when all are gone ?





At the first place hunters are the one's who are responsible for a great lot of extinction of so many species. A very big example is the tiger - it has been hunted so much that it is now on the list of endangered animals. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_hunti鈥?/a>





Even common species are becoming endangered , THANKS TO HUNTERS !!!!





The areas where a certain animals species has increased is because of the hunting of their predators which is the result of over hunting of their predators etc.





There are always alternatives to handle the excess population of animals in certain area like giving them to zoos which don't have them, relocate them where they are less in numbers or give them to zoos who require meat for their animals etc. etc.





My comments will not appeal to many but i think hunting be it for leisure, food, medicines, skin etc. has taken a Toll on so many species - DO WE STILL NEED TO HUNT ??

Do you go hunting or play football?

I ALWAYS go hunting. I grew up with all of the guys and even though people don't think so on first impressions but I go hunting with the guys. I usually hunt everything from deer to doves. But my personal favorite is duck hunting. I never pass up a chance to go duck hunting. I want to know if im the only 16 year old girl obsessed with duck hunting? So far I don't know any other girl that played on a football team with all guys either.Do you go hunting or play football?

What is the maximum effective kill range for deer hunting with a 100 atr .308 mossberg rifle?

The round has killing power far longer than the average person can shoot. The two biggest limiting factors are how well you can shoot and how well you can estimate the range. Unless you carry a rangefinder have a scope with one, most people will be limited to 200 to 250 yards. I am a range Officer and I know only one shooter who can eyeball ranges beyond 400 yards, and he shoots in Palma Matches (up to 1000 yards with iron sights!) As for an indivdual's shooting skills; I would say that would be the maximum range someone can put ten out of ten shots in a circle the size of a dinner plate from the position they will be shooting from.What is the maximum effective kill range for deer hunting with a 100 atr .308 mossberg rifle?
The vast majority of Big Game is harvested within 100 yards or less.* Concentrate on joining the vast majority of Hunters.*What is the maximum effective kill range for deer hunting with a 100 atr .308 mossberg rifle?
How long have you had this rifle? How good are you with it really. 90% of all taken are taken at 100 yards or less.
Depends on the load. I never shoot deer over 300 yards.
Most people probably don't have any business shooting at deer much past 300 yards. At that range, a .308 drops about 9 inches with a 150-grain bullet sighted in at 200 yards. At 400, it is over 2 feet low. While a .308 will kill a deer further than this, this is about as far as most people can hit one.


I know that armed forces snipers regularly engage targets at much longer ranges, but I'm talking about someone who fires a box of shells or less each year.
http://www.ktog.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.p鈥?/a>
No combination of rifle and rifleman is good enough to ensure a good shot at long ranges, though you'll often hear people bragging about 400+ yarders. About once every ten or fifteen years I'll shoot one about 250 yards, and even 300 isn't unreasonable. Past that, most hunters think the thing to do is hunt harder rather than risk a misplaced shot.


Just because you can keep 'em in a four-inch circle (about the size of a deer's vital area) from the bench under good conditions doesn't mean the same holds true in the field, where you only have the one shot and conditions are less certain and less controlled. It's that rather than the caliber or rifle that is the limiting factor, if you're hunting ethically, and you should keep your ego in check in favor of the sport.
With the right scope and if you got the skill. A .308 with the right ammo has an effective range of apx 1000 yards. Check out this scope on their web site and watch the videos. A .308, 30-06, 300 wsm, all have a very very good range. Thats why snipers use the .308 or 30-06 for anything under 1000 yards.
I shot and killed an elk at 500 yards with a .308 about 10 years ago.

Im looking for a gun that can be used as both a hunting rifle and a home defence rifle.?

i heard rifles can over penetrate but i heard that can be remedied by hollow pointing the bullets, but still i am worried that even if certain bullets are hollow pointed they would still over penetrate. Also I heard that hollow points are inaccurate is that true? and lastly i really prefer the Lee Enfield .303 , the M1 Garand, the 3a4 , the 3a3, and the m1 carbine, are those good choices for what i want? (yeah i like bolt action rifles)Im looking for a gun that can be used as both a hunting rifle and a home defence rifle.?
....for close quarters, a shotgun (w/ BB or OO size shot) is really your best choice for home defense....a semi m1 carbine would be reasonable (but not for hunting)....though if you prefer a bolt rifle, that infers a little more reach out and touch (and over penetration will be a real concern) and slow sustained rate of fire....however a 12ga Browning A-bolt with a sabot slug is a good choice for hunting too (w/o having to worry what is miles down range) though I would never suggest using shot shells through a rifled barrel....





....if you have a perimeter to defend (and clear field of fire), a SK, mini 14 or ar-15 will give a higher sustained rate of fire with good accuracy 200-300m....as well a M1A1 (.308) or a Garand (.30-06) will offer heavier hitting power and good accuracy 300-600m++....but not legal for hunting in many places....





....though back to the bolt actions....the Enfield makes a good elephant gun (lol), depending upon your proficiency and quality of the rifling (remember a lot of these rifles have been fired literally 10's of thousands of times) should be good for hunting or perimeter defense 300-600m++....but for close quarters, hahaha, unless you have a bayonet....then take it off and stab the f'r....just remember to have a .357 in your other hand in case it gets stuck....lol


**edit**Im looking for a gun that can be used as both a hunting rifle and a home defence rifle.?
In regards to accuracy, the ranges you will be dealing with in a home defense situation are less than 10 yards, so hollow points will not really be zooming off on odd tangents or anything of that sort.





If you want a good hunting rifle that'll also serve you well as a home-defense rifle, I can suggest the Ruger Tropical 1 .375 H%26amp;H magnum. This is unfortunately a single-shot, but with the .375 H%26amp;H round, you can stop a buffalo, so you can definately stop a man.





But for home-defense? A rifle? Maybe get yourself a Mossberg 590, or a pistol (plenty of threads here on CCW and personal defense pistol preferences). Rifles in general aren't that good for home defense. But if you like bolt action rifles, I'm tellin ya, go for the Ruger No. 1 It's less than a grand, and it WILL stop anything you hit.
You are asking for a double weapon. One for long range shooting at game animals and another for very short range, inside the home use. The long range gun should range 100 to 300 yards with good knockdown for all game and the short range which must have a fast muzzle swing and be on your person at all times in your home. This also must have knock down power but little secondary penetration. It should go in and rattle around but not come out. In home if it penetrates the target of a full size person and goes out it may penetrate a house wall. If you miss and it penetrates a wall it could also do the same in the neighbors wall. For home security, know who is in your home. Most home intrusions, the intruder has been in the home in the recent past. Who do you intend to defend against? Other neighbors? Gangs, why are they bothering you?
Hollow point bullets in rifle calibers will penetrate walls just as bad as any other bullet.





The only rifle I consider useful for hunting and defensive use is a lever-action carbine in pistol calibers.





My Social Rifle is a pre-safety Rossi M-92 Saddle Ring Carbine in .357 Magnum. If you don't handload, a Rossi M-92 in .44 RemMag or .45 LC, or a Marlin M-1894 in the same calibers would be a better choice.





The major advantage to using a pistol caliber lever-action rifle as your hunting and defense rifle is that you can use high performance magnum loads for hunting, and for in home defensive use, you can load it with .38 SPL or .44 SPL ammo for adequate power and less danger of over penetration. And you have ten fast shots on tap if you need them.





The .303 Enfield, or .30-'06 M-1 Garand are lousy choices for home defense, unless you live way out in the country and want to defend your home at long range. An M-1 Carbine would be a fair home defense rifle, but it is pretty iffy as a deer cartridge.





BTW, the M-1 Garand and M-1 Carbine are both semi-automatic firearms, not bolt-actions.





Doc
If you are going to use a long gun for HD ir should be a riot gun or carbine





Of the guns you listed the M1Carbine is the only one I would choose, but I'm not so sure that I like the caliber for hunting anything over small deer or small hogs





The Garand, 03s and Enfield are great hunting guns (unless you are restricted to five rounds then the Garand is out) but I think they would be too cumbersome to be considered a suitable HD gun unless you plan on using them for perimeter defense





I don't think I would ever restrict myself to a bolt action for interior HD these days
from a serious rifle, the hollowpoints are still going to rip though walls like nobodies business.





Check http://www.theboxotruth.com/ for wall penetration tests.





The M-1 carbine won't cut it as a hunting rifle, the M1 Garand and the 1903A3/4 are a bit hard to find, and for the same amount of cash you can get a brand spanking new bolt action rifle by remington, winchester, tikka, savage, cz, and a whole slew of others.





It would help us help you if we knew what kind of hunting you were interested in.





Get an SKS, hard to go wrong there, and it is inexpensive.
okay, first you want two separate guns. any of those above rifles would be fine for hunting deer, except the m1 carbine. it is good out to 100 m or so, but i wouldn't suggest hunting with it. the reason that bullets over penetrate is because they are high powered and high velocity. as for hollow points, they will penetrate but not as far as a full metal jacket. hollow point bullets are very accurate.


as for a home defense weapon, get yourself a nice 12 gauge shotgun...that is by far the best home defense out there.....


hope this helps you out....and good luck with your choice
Rifles in most situations are not good home defense weapons. Commonly one would use a handgun for home defense and a rifle for hunting.


I think for your situation you should consider two firearms for your two scenarios. Hunting I would look at a 30-06 and for home defense a colt 1911 variant. Hope that helps
Rifles are never good choices for home defense, and hollow-point bullets can be relied upon to expand, go through a person, and keep going a long, long ways. If you must, you'll want something quite short and handy like the Remington model 7, in a light caliber with a varmint bullet.
The gun that fits the bill is a Mossberg 500 field / security model... It comes with 2 barrels. One for barrel is for hunting and when you get home swap in the 18 1/2 inch defense barrel..... Take a look below... If you really want a rifle then be aware ALL rifle bullets can overpenetrate... Use hollow or soft point rifle bullets for less penetration but be aware they can still endanger a family member or neighbor in the next house..... I have a Mossberg 500 for home defense AND a Ruger Mini 14..... The Ruger is smaller, light weight AND MOST OF ALL its polite looking.... If you justifiable had to shoot an attacker in your home there still is a possibilty that a district attorney will still have a grand jury hearing to see if you should be charged..... Do you really want him holding up some big military type rifle???? Get a Mossberg 500 or a Ruger Mini 14....
in an urban situation, a rifle may be the worst choice for home defense, even with a hollow point bullet. As noted, the main reason is over penetration and liability. A much better choice is a good shotgun with a 20'; barrel. this will work very well for home defense, and with slugs, can be used for hunting any north American animal out to 100 yards. yes this limits you to closer shots for hunting. But it is a trade off to get the home defense weapon/hunting weapon as one. Now if your anticipating the end of the world, or massive riots with a breakdown of civilization, then by all means go with a better ranging, faster shooting semi auto rifle in a heavier caliber such as the Springfield M'14 in .308 caliber. but the best choice is going to be, get one type for home defense (shotgun with short barrel) and one for hunting.


good luck
I would agree with most answers, a shot gun would be your best bet. or a pistol,,,,,,rifle as stated can pass through and wound a by stander putting you in deep crap,,,,a good load of 000 buck or 00 buck works much better,,,,





Stay away from the M1 cabine,,,,,,,its rather weak and not a good choice.
What are you hunting?


Sounds like you need a shotgun.


You can use buck shot for home defense or even some hunting.


If you need to take down a bigger animal, just use slugs.


You can use birdshot for smaller animals and birds obviously.
THE ONES YOU PREFER WOULD BE FINE...A HOLLOW POINT IS NOT ANY LESS ACCURATE THAN A REGULAR SHOT...IT JUST DEPENDS ON YOUR AIM...GOOD LUCK
Get yourself a 30-30.* Thats all you'll need.*
get a pump action shotgun. and buckshot.
First of all are you living in a state that has a castle doctrine ?


if so your in good shape , if not I'd move to a state that believes in the constitution and the bill of rights .


2. The weapons aren't exactly the choice weapons for home defense . Think about it , your going to check your home for intruders, ever think of the length of your weapons ? its hard to navigate the muzzle on possible target or worse targets coming around a corner in your home (cutting the pie )


3. Realistically a rifle is for long distance like your Lee Enfield 303 and your M-1 Garand are for basic infantry and snipers of W.W.2 and Vietnam era


4. Now if you want to protect yourself your family and home you should purchase a 12 Ga. pump get rid of the shoulder stock and get a adjustable M-4 style stock by Knox Ind. this way you've given yourself the advantage of having heavy firepower and the ability to navigate through your home and keeping muzzle on target get a fiber optic scope for quick acquisition targeting or a very good laser / light combination


make sure it is grip activated so you dont remove your hands


from your weapon at any time


5. if you live in an apartment I suggest bean bag rounds or bird shot (however my rule is bird shot is for birds slugs are for thugs) if you live in a house 00 buck if you live in the country slugs and 00 buck stack them slug ,00 slug , 00 and so on and if you don't kill the threat make sure it cant have kids ( if they are that stupid to break into your home they got no need to breed )


6. Last but not least buy a handgun in .45 cal . its a big and slow round but very very effective in stopping power . make sure it isn't a cheaply made handgun either stay away from highpoint its garbage ( the slide breaks around the recoil spring ) and make sure your pistol can handle +P rounds i prefer CorBon +P sometimes an intruder wears a vest seems to be the new thing now so aim at the pelvic region you'll most likely hit bone if they cant stand they cant fight .


in short you want 2 different weapons 1 for home and 1 for hunting. good luck in your desision .
the m1 or an sks with a 20 round fixed mag,

What type of .12 Gage loads should i use for squirrel hunting?

should i use regular game loads in my .12G?


or should i use bird or buck shot?


its my first time using it for squirrels, i dont want to blow a huge hole in it...lol.What type of .12 Gage loads should i use for squirrel hunting?
In a 12 guage I would recommend a #4 or #5 lead shot, 2 3/4 inch shell, low brass is all you'll need. Winchester makes a X124 that should work well.


The reason you want a larger pellet is for energy, to penetrate the hide of a fox squirrel, which is very tough.


But I might add, in early season when there is a lot more leaves on the trees, you may want to shoot a #6 shot size. This gives you a lot more pellets than a #4 and is sufficient for taking squirrels. As the leaves come down, you can go to a larger pellet size, #4 for instance and efficiently bring the squirrel down.


I am the ammo man, and work the ammo counter at a large sporting goods store in Mich.What type of .12 Gage loads should i use for squirrel hunting?
That sorta depends on the time of the season.





If you are hunting early in the season when there are a lot of leaves and it is really tough to ge a clear shot, then 71/2 would work in a 12.





If you are hunting later in the season when all the leaves are gone then 6 is fantastic! 7 1/2 will not give you the range needed at that time of year.





#4 and #5 are designed with the Turkey, fox, and coyote hunters in mind and are not the best for squirrels if you want good eating.





Anything bigger is strictly overkill, but fun if you have a housefull of treerat invaders.
I would use regular 2 3/4 shells but you can get high brass for extra power but since its a 12 gauge you should be good to go.





I used 3 inch mags for squirrel but that was a 20 gauge and not a 12 though.





Its more on personal preference if you dont like performance of normal get high brass but DONT GET 3 INCH MAGS for 12. Keep in mind i only got 3 for 20 gauge.





I would go with #6 shot





(((((Conclusion:


Use 2 3/4 or 2 3/4 high brass with #6 shot or 5 since they get a strong coat when it gets cold out.))))
Don't use Buck shot unless you like your squirrel in several pieces:o) Use a #6 bird shot 2 3/4'; load. Still, if any way possible, aim at the head so you don't ruin so much of meat with shot pellets. The way I prefer to hunt squirrel is with a 22 and shoot them in the head. Makes them easier to clean.
NO not buck shot -- the pellets would fly right right on by and miss..... I use #6 game loads... 2 3/4 inch cartridges are fine.... If mr squirrel is quite a distance and / or you want to obliterate him then step up to 3 inch turkey loads.....





This stuff works real good on small critters....





http://www.remington.com/products/ammuni鈥?/a>
I would use something like a 9 or an 8 shot. Obviously you don't need the bigger pellets because a squirrel is small. So with a 9 shot your going to have more shot and hence a greater chance of killing it. Farther shots may require something more like a 7 1/2.
no. 4 shot i find is the best for any game of the squirrel/rabbit size.





yer bird shot no. 4





Um mate just grab you 22 and shot it in the head if your an accurate marksmen you shouldn't have to much trouble





but the shot gun is much easier
Use standard 2 3/4 inch loads with number 4, 5, or 6 shot. Those are good loads for squirrels. Buckshot is way too large. A squirrels hide is tough, so stay away from the smaller shot (7 1/2 and 8 shot) as well.



my dad always told me if i couldnt hit em in the head with a 22 i didnt need to go. That said, they make small game loads just for things liek rabbits and squirrels. I still use a 22 to this day when i go squirrel hunting.
Bird shot is alright but you may have to take out alot of shots, the best thing to use is a 22 and shoot him in the head!* Good Hunting!*
Any 7/8 ounce to 1 1/4 ounce load of #6 to #4 will work fine. 7 1/2 will work, but I prefer the larger shot size and better penetration.
buck shot would be way too much for squirrels. there wouldn't be much left. I would go smaller with 7 1/2 or 6 and you should be good to go. Have fun and good luck!
Game loads with a shot size of #6. No magnum, no buckshot, no heavy load needed. Your going after Squirrel.






buck shot and all that well be left is a few hairs.


use bird shot.
Use number 4 or 5 bird shot for the Squirrel for best results.*
I use 4 shot with good results
What have squirrels ever done to you? Why do you feel that they deserve to die?





At least give them a sporting chance by using a sling shot.

Where can i get pictures or videos of dogs fighting or hunting specifically Akita's?

I got an akita he's seven months old and weighs just over seven stone my mate can't grasp how powerful he is or how powerful hes gonna get. she keeps telling me that her staffie would kill it but he nearly tore him apart when she brought him down im trying to prove a point.Where can i get pictures or videos of dogs fighting or hunting specifically Akita's?
I like your additional info and thanks for posting it as I was about to get stroppy with you! Sorry!!!





Akitas are lovely dogs but need a firm, kind owner. I don't know about pics of Akitas fighting, I for one would hate to find any, but suggest you get your mate t have a word with your national Akita breed association for confirmation of your point, or speak to your vet,





The one thing a Staffs has over most dogs is it's ability to lock its jaws. When it does so, you have a hell of a job getting it's teeth out of whatever or whoever it has got hold of. I'm sure you don't need telling that for this reason you need to keep your Akita away from your mate's argumentative Staffs. I know from my own experience... one of my dogs is a Staffs cross who got into an arguement with a purebred (the poor soul only went up to it for a sniff!). The Staffs took objection and it was only because it's owner punched it on the nose (awful I know, but if he hadn't his dog would have torn mine to bits) that the Staffs let go.





Look after your Akita, give him lots of love and you'll have a friend for life with this loyal breed. And tell your mate that it isn't worth her Staffs getting hurt for her to find out that she is wrong!Where can i get pictures or videos of dogs fighting or hunting specifically Akita's?
Is your friend off her head? A Staffy is no match for an Akita.....Your friend needs to grow up.....don,t tell me if you got a black cat shes got a blacker one. I think you need to get yourself a better friend than the one you already have.
Read your own question again, then maybe you'll realise how much of a prick you sound.





Does it really matter whose dog is ';hardest';?





You say that you are trying to prove a point, but your point is irrelevant.





Grow up.
and what are you going to gain then just tell your mate that you are not worried what she thinks you don't want your dog to fight and if she wants to know how strong your dog is then tell her to get a book and read it you don't have to prove any point to her why did you let the dogs fight when they where together if you are only trying to prove a point i think you should have that dog taking away from you and so does she why did she let her staffy any where near your dog you both need to grow up and just watch what you are doing as for the new law that is in if someone can prove that you are not taking care of that dog and so your mate you may end up with a big fine so if you love that dog then keep it away from that staffy no matter what she thinks i would never put my dogs in that sort of danger
go to google press video then put what you want to see
WHO THE **** CARES WHAT YOUR MATE THINKS. AN AKITA WOULD KILL A STAFFIE.
So your dog is your pride and joy? but its ok to watch and therefore encourage others to fight their dogs. Its people like you that actively encourage this sick trade.
Your question still sounds sick and so does the behaviour of you and your friend - why if you are a true dog lover would you put your beloved dog in a situation where a dog fight was starting? Particularly because of the behaviour you are teaching....





Tell your friend to do the research preferably without watching videos and leave the subject well alone.





I think both dogs would do better with more mature caring owners frankly
why do you need to prove that a dog will tear another one apart you sicko,


they are a mans best friend, not a weapon or something to brag about
I'd tell your mate to give up the crack. She must be crazy. She wouldn't want to see an Akita really fighting, nor would I. I would be brickin it.
What a very ignorant, immature c**t you are. F**K off and die
Check Animal Control, I think they likely have videos that they will be using for upcoming court cases that they could show you.
You shouldn't own any pets or have any children. You're sick.
You are committing an offence under the new Animal Welfare Act 2006 (UK) if you own a video of a dog fight
OK, so if you're the wonderful dog owner you say you are, why on earth would you want to see pictures or footage of two animals tearing each other apart. Yes you are sick and you should be ashamed of yourself. In fact, you're a disgrace to decent dog owners for even thinking looking at things like this is acceptable. And it sounds like your mate is worse.
There you are: http://cellar.org/2006/dog-fight.jpg

How can I achieve the greatest amount of kills;when shooting/hunting crows with my .22 caliber air rifle?

Thanks for the detailsHow can I achieve the greatest amount of kills;when shooting/hunting crows with my .22 caliber air rifle?
Try putting on head-to-toe cammo, and sitting within your range of an owl decoy. It will probably only work once, since they will remember, but if you have other areas to go, giver! Shotgun works sooo much nicer with a distress crow call and a nice canopy to conceal you. The 'pass' shooting is priceless. They keep coming under the canopy to see what is wrong until you miss one, then they are gone. Good Luck.





Lock and load.How can I achieve the greatest amount of kills;when shooting/hunting crows with my .22 caliber air rifle?
It seems there is a hunting season for crows (124 days/year) and you need a license to shoot them. Apparently Hawaii is the only state where you cannot shoot crows.


(When you want to do research, ask a librarian.)

Can wild game spot you when your wearing bright orange while hunting?

Game such as Deer, Boar, Turkey, etc.Can wild game spot you when your wearing bright orange while hunting?
No most game are colorblind and can't tell what your wearing. Although, scientists have proven that deer can see blue very well and if your a wearing blue while hunting you will stick out like a sore thumb and the deer with most likely get spooked on first sight of you. Good luck hunting!Can wild game spot you when your wearing bright orange while hunting?
Color is irrelevent when hunting. What gets animals suspicious is movement, particularly sudden movement.





The reason it's not a good idea to not smoke while hunting, for instance, isn't because the smoke spooks them. It's the flashing movement of your hand rising and falling to and from your mouth.





Although deer are, supposedly, color blind, turkey are not. Color, in fact, plays an important role in their courtship.





If you are sitting still, however, despite what you are wearing, game animals can, and do, walk right up to you without realizing you are a threat.





So, considering that the effect on game is null, and the high safety factor of wearing orange, only a fool foregoes it.
Yes, they can. They can also spot you if you're wearing camo.


Turkeys have excellent vision. Deer less so, and they're colorblind, though a solid orange vest is still a solid blob of one shade. Hogs can see probably about as well as you can, but they spend so much time rooting you have an advantage, assuming you don't also have your nose in the ground!
Although there is no certainty about this, there seems to be a lot of evidence that they are as a matter of fact, color blind. I have hunted squirrels and other small games while wearing red shirts and other intense colors and shot just as many as my hunting friends who wore full camouflaged clothing. I can't say anything about wild games but there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.





For a couple of times, I stood out in an open area while wearing an orange vest and had whitetail deer flush out of the woods and run past me. The mammals seem to rely on hearing and their sense of smell in order to detect danger more than eyesight. They are very quick to spot your movements though.





Hope this helps.
Deer see in shades of grey. That is not to say that they see color the way we do, but they see color.





If you hunt enough, you will see that Deer often eat red Berries. I have watched deer walk across large fields to feed on berries. How do they see the red berries. And who is to say that what we see is all the color there is. How would anyone really know if Deer see orange.





I know that if you wash your clothes in Commercial laundry soap, deer can see the Ultra Violet rays that are reflected by the moon and the stars.





We use night vision technology to pick up UV light in night vision goggles. Deer have that capability from birth. Maybe they think we are color blind.





The point I am making is that Deer do see color, just not the way we see them. I have been spotted while wearing orange from 50 meters away, yet this year, I passed up 3 small buck, and a Doe with my Bow, so I could shoot the 8 point at the end of the line of deer. I hunt in camo with the Bow.





As far as Turkey are concerned, they have awesome vision, and can see the slightest of movement as well as color.





No doubt, Deer see orange. They see it, and recognize it as being alien to their enviroment. But I wear it, and I hope the hunter 100 meters away sees it too before he begins to fire at a deer between us.
Deer are color-blind and should not be able to pick out the color. I've deer-hunted in bright red coveralls and the deer didn't notice me. I understand that boar and turkey have very keen eyesight and (presumably) can distingush colors. So hunting these is where camo would give you an edge.





H



I know at least deer are color blind, so you will only be spotted by other hunters; unless you want to end up like Cheney's friend, I'd use it, since a deer wouldn't see you easier than if you had on camo, and other hunters would.
Deer are colorblind. When they see orange, it looks like white. So with the orange camo, you could look like a birch tree. I don't know about boar, but turkey can see if you have one nostril bigger than the other.
Who cares? I want the other guy in the woods with a gun to SEE ME. Of course animals can see bright orange, but so what, they don't know what its for. By the way, a turkey has extremely good eyesight.
Yeah by wearing orange it lowers your chances of not being seen but when you wear orange you can be sure that your not gonna be mistaken for a Deer, Turkey, or Boar when your hunting
Most can't distinguish orange from drab colors like brown. There are some animals that can though, I believe bears are one of them.
most animals can only see green and blue, so they can';t see orange cause they don't have the right parts in their eyes like we do, that's why.
Some animals are colorblind, so they won't know what color you're wearing. For the ones that can see color.... I'll go with yes.
your all morons and science is wrong! all animals see color !!!!end confersation...figure it out!
no

How would you keep your spirits up if you are job hunting and constantly hearing?

Those words don't discourage me; they're usually telling the truth! They won't make a decision until they do interview everyone and they will call their final candidate. Just remember, Cindy Crawford was turned down many times before someone gave her the time of day and she became one of the best known models of our times! Who's smiling now?!How would you keep your spirits up if you are job hunting and constantly hearing?
How many jobs have you applied for? What type of job are you looking to get? Do you feel that your resume and interview skills can get you the job you are trying to get?





You shouldnt get discouraged you should look at what you can do to make yourself better.

I would go to a neighboring state if you want to have a good hunting trip. Try going to Nevada.I want to know a good hot spot for dove hunting on september 1st. Any Suggestions?
I promise this is not intended to be sarcastic or mean...





but if they have any good hunting spots, they probably wouldn't tell you. Good hunting land is gaurded like national secrets. You just gotta get out there and do some scouting on your own.

Looking for a good hunting gun?

I am looking for one gun to use to hunt squirrell, rabbit and turkey. What is the best gun for the job? Will a 410 cover it or do i need something a little bigger?Looking for a good hunting gun?
For squirrel and rabbit I use a .22, but a .410 wouldn't be bad. The smallest you can go on turkey is 20GA. But .20 Ga is an OK gun for rabbit and squirrel. If you ever get into hunting deer a 20Ga will work well for that too.Looking for a good hunting gun?
A 20 gauge will do it, but you will be ahead to get a 12 gauge. Squirrels and rabbits are small, and pretty easy, but turkey are tough birds and a 12 will give you effective killing power out to 40 yards. Get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500. Both are pump actions and are excellent all-around guns.





(The .410 bore is really not a beginners gun - it's more of an experts gun. Plus, the ammo is more expensive and harder to find.)
When I was a younger lad we used hunt turkey with a rifle. Go with a .243 or better yet for your hunting purposes, a marlin lever action in .44 mag .357mag 30/30 ( if you are a bigger lad). get something relatively small. a lever action should fit your needs.





or you could go with a .22 mag. a.22 hornet, or a .22/250 (the most expensive of the 3 .22 caliber options).





BUT, if you really want a shotgun go with a .20 gauge (or a 28 gauge but the rounds are a bit more expensive) a 410 is to small.
NO!!!





A 410 will not work for Turkey. A .410 is great as a survival shot gun where you would hunt only rabbits and squirrel.


All these critters are Best taken with a 20 or a 16. For Turkey, a 12 is a must.





Why fool around. Get a good 12 with a few extra barrels; one for Turkey, and one for Deer.





If you get a quality gun like a Remington, Winchester, or Bennelli, you have the one gun to hunt anything.





Good luck
A lot will depend on the state you are hunting in. Some states require certain shot for turkey. Illinois is one of those. I am not sure you will find that type of shot in a .410 shell.





A .410 would be hard pressed to fill the bill for turkey. Unless you are extremely still and quiet and the turkey comes within 15 yards, you will probably just wound a turkey. They are very tough and usually take some pellets to the neck and head to kill them. A 410 would have less of those so needs a shorter distance to shoot and kill.





If you got a 12 ga. you would be pretty much set for most types of hunting including deer. There are so many different chokes, barrel lengths and shot sizes as well as powder charges, it would be fairly easy to find one just right for your listed needs.





Good Luck.
Mate get a 12gauge. 12 gauge has the widest variety of shells so when you want to start shooting larger game, you will have a gun for it. The 410 will kill a rabbit but if you want to start shooting larger animals or use buchsot then get a 12 gauge. You wont regret it
If you can only have 1 gun then I can only suggest a 22LR if it's legal where you are.





For rabbit and squirrel a .410 is more than enough, some air weapons will do the job.





For turkey you need at least a .410 but a 12 guage is a better choice.





Ian M



you could do it with a 410 but a 12gauge would work better.


a 410 would be fine for rabbit and squirrel but hard pressed for a turkey.





NO a 12gauge well not blow a rabbit away, nor a squirrel if you use the right loads.
Ha you don't need anything as big a a 12 gauge, 410 should do the job and possibly a 20 gauge. 12 gauge would blow the squirrel to pieces and same with rabits.
I'd go with a 12 gauge shotgun.


Very versatile...
nahh a 410 won't cover it. Try an ak-47, hahahaahhahahaha
