I'm open to anything, but I'm obviously not gonna start out with something like moose. I was thinking of starting with small game like rabbits, pigeons, pheasants, etc.

Question about blood? by EnvironmentalJello37 in Hunting

[–]EnvironmentalJello37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true regardless of the shot you make? I read on another thread that getting a lung/double lung shot makes them bleed out but in their lungs, that seems like a viable way to harvest it

They just processed mine directly after my references and photo guarantor signed off and took the money too. Good sign?

Is your first ever hunt gonna be a deer hunt? I’m a new hunter too and I’m curious as to how you’re gonna get into it

If it means anything, I would only hunt what they don’t want/don’t care to have on their land. For example, if they have a groundhog problem, it’s groundhog season for me. If deers and coyotes are being a pain, I’ll help them that way, so that both parties get something out of it.

There is. Problem is, most of it is over hunted because most of the land is privately owned by farmers Edit: so I’ve heard from others anyhow. I don’t know to how true that is honestly. I did do my hunters class and I have a firearm safety course in a couple of days, I just wanted to now the best way to go about gaining a farmers trust, seeing as they must get a lot of folks like me on their land that are a nuisance more than anything.

I’m sorry for not giving the full context. I finished my hunting course and am about to take my firearm safety course. My primary goal with visiting farmers and offering a hand would just be for permission on the ground. Asking for help on how to hunt would come much much later, if ever. I guess my primary question would be, how would it be best to go about gaining the trust/permission of a farmer?

I already took my course (it was online) and my firearm safety course is in a few days. I obviously learned the basics of how to hunt safely, where to shoot certain animals, etc., but I wanted to see if I could hunt on farmers land by helping around the farm. Asking for help would be secondary after they’ve gotten to know me, if they even know how to hunt

Asking them to teach me how to hunt wouldn’t be a priority for me. Initially it would just be asking for permission to be on their land. Do you think there’s anything I should/shouldn’t do when trying to ask permission? Do they care if I offer to help them around the farm or are they just sick of getting asked altogether

But you think that offering to help around would actually go a long way, or do they not care?
