Hunting Fun

What Gun Safe Reviews will help you find the best safe out there? The reality is, there are many models on the market, and choosing the right one is important, since not all them will meet your needs.

Different safes are designed more for different things. Some are primarily to keep kids away from the guns. However, they won’t stop any serious break in attempts by burglars.

If you live in a low crime area, you might be tempted to get one of these. However, I would definitely recommend you plan as if you might experience a break in, because all it takes is once to put you and your surrounding area in danger, should they get their hands on your gun.

Fire safety is very important, since you want to make sure your gun and other high priced items are not destroyed. Therefore, any gun safe reviews worth their salt will give fire ratings, usually as to how long the safe can handle a blaze of a certain temperature.

The style is also important to some people, although it certainly has no impact on whether or not your things will stay safe.

Since the safe will often times take up a rather large amount of space in your home, having a nice looking one certainly couldn’t hurt. Finally, if you are going to be taking the safe with you on trips, you will obviously want a lighter one.

In contrast, if you are just going to be keeping it home, a heavier one is an option, depending on how many things you need stored away in there. If you do get a smaller one that can’t be nailed on the wall or ceiling, you definitely want to stash it somewhere a robber wouldn’t find were they to break in.

As you can see, which gun safe you buy is really dependent on your needs. For this reason I can’t just tell you which safe is the best on the market, because it will be different for each person.

Be certain the safe is resistant to water if you live in a place prone to flooding. Even if you don’t, sometimes mistakes occur, and you want to be sure it will keep your gun or other things safe from the water. Therefore, the best gun safe reviews will cover all of the above safety features.

Ideally, you want to focus on safes that are built of steel, as these will give you the best chance of keeping them secure should a break in occur. There are various kinds of steel that it can be made of, but whichever you choose, just remember that the thicker the better, as this stands the best chance of avoiding a break in.

Keep in mind that getting a pre drilled safe is very important if you want to attach it to the floor or wall, simply because trying to drill a hole into steel is no simple task. For this reason getting pre drilled will save you this hassle. If not, then thicker steel will be harder to drill through.

To sum up, when looking at gun safe reviews, focus on the steel thickness, the fire ratings, the flood ratings, and also what kind of lock it uses. A fingerprint sensor is the best by far, albeit the most expensive.

Deer Hunt – www.HUNTNGFOOTAGE.COM I saw this buck briefly 2 years ago. Back then he was a 10pt and I thought he was 4yrs old. Today I was sitting in the same box blind overlooking an oat patch and a road. The buck showed up, I turned on the camera, realized he was a BIG 8pt and decided to take him. I grabbed for my rifle as he was walking out of the frame, got a good rest, re-focused the camera, and took the shot. This all happened in about 1 minute’s time! I would have been in a bow blind, but it was bitter cold, windy, and raining. Thanks to the storm, I went to the blind with my rifle to scout and look for a doe. Sometimes, decisions are made for a reason! deer hunting deer hunting deer hunting deer hunting

New Hunters, here’s some things you really don’t want to do. Scene: Fresh overnight snow means, most of the tracks you’ll see, are practically new. Maybe made 3 – 4 AM. You find new sets of tracks walking along. If you look off to the side of the tracks, you’ll probably find a single larger set of tracks that’s a buck. You’ll want to follow this set. Now one thing you don’t want is to concentrate too much on the tracks. I’ve done it and goofed, as have a lot of hunters. I know the temptation is great to walk faster following. Don’t. Here’s the do, follow the tracks easily and rather slowly. Think of the deer. He’s either going to feed, or coming from feeding. No hurry. So you don’t.

On one of my hunts, I came upon just the situation I described. I follow these tracks for over 300 yards through the woods, across 200 foot of the eastern edge of a corn field and into the field heading west. was using archery at the time, and had to get close, and knowing the corn was a losing situation, I wanted to see if I could put him up, if for no other reason but to see what it was. The do part, I went slowly and so was he. Tracks looked very fresh as the snow was fluffy in the tracks yet.

I kept going down the corn rows, making more noise than cheer leaders on the 50-yard line. That’s a don’t. Try walking in dried corn with a crossbow. No brainer, but I was no newbie at hunting either. His tracks really started to spread and clearing 6-8 feet leaps, then within about 20 yards more, he started walking again, but going north. Another don’t, don’t try to match his pace. Now try walking sideways through the corn eight inches apart without making any noise. No way.

After about six rows I was within thirty feet when I heard the sounds of Bye-Bye. He meant to get me off his track. I did finally follow him to the edge of the corn, but into a trail way of deer tracks. I forgot my own advice. I kept looking at the ground for his tracks, and not into the woods where he may have been laughing at me and watching to see which way I’d go and he had a ticket for the opposite speedway direction. There we parted company, but I did get to within 50 feet of him before he gave up on me. Check & Mate. I was overly warm so I returned to the woods to rest in my 17 ft tree stand. At that time I was not hunting, just in the woods for a walk with a crossbow.

Do: Walk like you’re still-hunting, paying attention to the area in front and about 45 degrees on each side. You’ll be able to see the tracks some distance ahead, watch the terrain and guess where he’s heading. Don’t do what I did earlier in this tale. Also, always think like the deer. There’s various noises in the woods, limbs falling, trees cracking with the cold weather, wind snapping branches and they fall. These are noises that don’t scare the deer, so if you step on a downed limb or branch, stop for a moment, survey the area and wait for a minute or two. The deer will hear it too, and become alert.

They will stop and scan their back trail and all they can see, which is much further than you can see. Remember, a moving object is more visible than a stationary one. If they see the movement, they’ll melt away and you’ll not see them. Here’s where your still-hunting comes in. Walk a few paces, stop, look, then easily move further and stop. That deer if he hears you may stand still for five minutes watching. Haste is their downfall and could be fatal to them. To you it’s only a lost deer. Remember the corn field? I was making 100 times the noise the deer was, but he wasn’t spooked. Just moving on. Finally he says: Enough already and is in full takeoff gear. I would never have seen him in the corn, but would have had a chance when I came to the edge as he would have been close by watching for me. He had a three inch foot print, but could still have been a six point and been illegal. Next episode will be another goof on what NOT TO DO. Then on pre-season scouting. Do’s and Don’ts.

If you ask a guy why they deer hunt chances are you will get different answers. Some will answer that they hunt for sport and others will say they hunt for the food. You may get other answers but those are the two main answers that is going to be discussed. Some hunters hunt with a bow and others hunt with a shotgun. Either way the results are the same, meat on the table.

When deer hunting for sport a hunters goal is to try to get the buck with the biggest rack. Most that hunt for sport will tell you that the pure enjoyment of being in the outdoors is a thrill. Even if the goal is hunting for sport, those hunters bring home a lot of meat for their family table. When a hunter gets a nice looking rack a lot of times the hunter will take it to a taxidermist and get it mounted for his home wall. Some hunters even have their own trophy room.

Hunting for the reason of providing food for the family table may seem caveman but a lot of hunters do it. Hunting is not just for men. A lot of women do it too. Whomever is providing the meat for the table can find the taste of venison as a delicious meal. Venison is much like beef, except with a more wild taste. There is thousands of venison recipes. One big difference between beef and venison is that venison is not corn fed and has much less fat on it.

So regardless of why a hunter hunts the result is good meat on the table, a cheaper way to fill the freezer, and a less populated forest. Hunting seasons differ depending where you live. It’s worth checking into and seeing what you need to do to be the next big deer hunter.

If you really want to test your skills in hunting, then you will love archery elk hunting, especially if you are also into bow hunting. The reason is that the hunted prey, the elk, happens to be one of the largest game animals to hunt – and also one of the shrewdest too. It is a challenge every hunter relish. To take home an elk is an achievement in itself, but to take home one using bows and arrows is even better.

Bow hunting in itself is a delicate and difficult sport. But if you are into archery elk hunting, the use of the bow is even more demanding. An archery elk hunter must know his quarry and his weapon on top of being able to calculate a number of variables in a given second it takes to draw and release their bow. This takes skills and precision.

So what are the things to consider in order to succeed in archery elk hunting? Here are some …

1. You need a special type of bow (& arrows) designed to take down a large animal like the elk. This type of bow is an amazing piece of equipment. The bow hunter must learn every aspect and capability of his hunting weapons – bow plus arrows. The hunting arrows must be of the right length. Not only that but the arrows must be able to pierce tough hide and cartilage for a quick kill. It may take you several hours of practice to be ready to effectively bring down an elk which can weigh up to several hundred pounds.

2. You must pay attention to every detail. Spend time learning the location of food and water sources for elk in the area. Find out they behave during certain times of the day and the temperature as well. Spend time reading local wildlife reports for ideas.

3. Practice shooting in heavy coats or coveralls.

4. If hunting from tree stands, you can spend time alternating between 2 or 3 stands in order to gain better perspective of the location. All this will take place before the hunt ever begins.

Archery elk hunting is not easy. Luckily there are guided hunting trips to cater to hunters who want to do archery elk hunting. Outfitters are able to provide services that are tailored to the bow hunting experience.

Even if you are a seasoned hunter, an experienced guide can help you put your skill and proficiency with a bow to the ultimate test. For those who succeed in bagging their trophy, archery elk hunting can be a very satisfying and rewarding sport.

Even if you don’t take home the trophy, you will still grateful for the wonderful learning experience. Knowledge is power and you can bet it will lead to assured, future success in the field.

She knew I was an avid hunter before we got married, and she has knowingly eaten and even cooked deer meat. For some reason, now, my hunting is a problem. I’ve tried all the logical arguments, but she still gets upset when I go hunting…Help!
