HUNTING DEER View the posting.
Shot under my Stand
 | The best deer rifle is surely somewhere between the little .22 and the cannon. In my opinion is it's somewhere between the .223 and the .300 magnum. No one knows the best, but my .45 worked this weekend. |

Head Shot
In response to Where to Shoot the Coyote by sailboatdave
| I always try to get a head shot. For a few reasons One Im lazy I already walked a few miles to get to were Im hunting and I dont want to track them. Two I usually kill two or some times three from the same stand ( or set up ) so I dont want to be chasing a wounded coyote around. And third it is a quick and painless way to go. ( most the time ). This is just my opion Ive been hunting and trapping coyotes for about 20 years now, but like they say ask 100 hunters the same question get 100 different answers. Hope this help somes and if you need any help just message me and Ill try to steer you in the right direction |

How to make a fire with sticks
 | Fire Plow -- This technique requires some determination, but works well.
•Find a piece of softwood for your plow board, about 18 inches long and roughly 2 inches wide. Willow and poplar trees work well and are commonly found near streams and rivers.
•Carve a groove 1 inch wide and 6-8 inches long in the center of your plow board, about two inches from either end. Use a knife or the sharp edge of a rock.
•Find a hardwood stick for your plow. It should be about a foot long and come to a point on one end.
•Lay the board flat on the ground and insert the plow into the groove.
•Rub the plow back and forth with moderate pressure to create small bits of wood dust.
•Once you have a moderate amount of dust, raise the top end of the board up and rest it on your knee. The dust will collect at the bottom.
•Rub as fast as you can with heavy pressure until the dust smolders. Pick up the board and gently blow until you have a flame you can transfer to your tinder.
