Do you need a license to hunt small game in Ontario if under 18?
As long as it is smaller than a beaver and you are using an air rifle (when near another building) you dont You could use a real firearm but the need for a permit when using a real gun changes from place to place.
Summary if you use an air gun you dont need a permit.
If you use a real gun and are away from any buildings you may or may not need one.
You cant use any type of real gun if you are 500 ft from any inhabited building. Just to be safe ask your local DEP officer.
Why hunting can be dangerous for people?
It's not!. Certainly, when accidents happen, they can be bad, but they are really quite rare compared to the number of people who participate. Far more hunters are killed or injured by falling out of a tree stand than by being shot. It's not nearly as dangerous as skiing, horseback riding, gymnastics, or cheerleading, just to name a few.
What should someone wear when they go mudding?
Clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Don't wear that brand new shirt you bought. I've seen people wear jeans and a tshirt to shorts and a tanktop to shorts and a bikini top. It's what you're comfortable in and don't mind getting dirty. Shoe wise, either wear boots or sneakers you don't care if they get muddy and/or ruined. Take a spare change of clothes to wear when you're finished mudding.

Does Tennessee orange qualify as blaze orange when hunting?
From Wyoming, in order to meet the legal requirement of blaze orange, the color must be designated as such by the manufacturer. Most states have defined "daylight fluorescent orange" as the necessary color. I wonder how a DOW officer would check it in the field..... if they do, they are probably looking for something else.
What choke should you use for rabbit hunting?
Either modified or full choke... full choke keeps the shot in a tighter bunch, so it is better for a longer shot.
What Winchester barrel will fit a Winchester 120?

Do you have to get tags to hunt deer on your own property?
Check with the DNR in the state you are looking to hunt. But for the most part the States have all gone to a residency clause for determining who can hunt private land without a Liscense. In most States you have to "reside" on the property and it must be your "leagal" address. This is a way of controlling out of State hunt clubs that buy tracts of land for hunting purposes. Usually all members will share "partial" ownership of the property. By requiring residency- all members of the club would be required to have a liscense. Again- States are very different and many Myths exist. Checking with the State DNR will save you a lot of trouble. In most States, if you are found afield illegally, authorities can and do, seize your equipment and in some cases your vehicle. Fines are opresive and you could lose your right to hunt. It is not worth the risk. Call the Department of Natural Resources in the State you are planning to hunt!
As a rule- liscenses are an inexpensive way for us to protect our "right" to hunt. The fees collected go to protecting the game and providing a "place" to hunt and fish.
What is the fastest pellet gun?
You are asking about a gun, not a rifle. Then I would look at the Hunter Extreme (Gamo) is the ultimate in hunting air rifles. Precision steel bull barrel and extra large spring piston power plant propels PBA pellets at 1650fps (1250 fps with lead). The full size select beech wood stock with deluxe laser checkering make this air rifle of choice for your collection.
Yes, many women like to hunt. it really all depends on the type of personality they have.
What is the smallest caliber rifle legal for deer hunting in South Dakota?
South Dakota does not use caliber, but requires a minimum energy. Copied from the home page of the SD Game regulations:
Deer and Antelope - Shoulder-held firearms using ammunition factory-rated to produce at least 1,000 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle and handguns using ammunition that is factory rated to produce at least 500 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle, may be used to hunt deer and antelope. Only soft-point or expanding bullets are permitted.
A .223 or larger cartridge will meet that standard. .22 Rimfire will not.
Where can I find a bolt to replace the one on your Remington 770?
gunpartscorp has them listed on their website for about $135
Can you shoot a slug out of a 20 gauge poly choked barrel?
Let's be logical about this. Is an ammo manufacturer going to make something that is going to make your barrel explode if you forget to put the right choke tube in? Probably not...
My dad had a Savage-Stevens single shot 16ga. with a full choke (back in the day when there weren't choke tubes) that he fired "Foster style" slugs through frequently. The barrel never exploded and the gun is still in good condition today.
I learned to wing-shoot with it and witnessed deadly accurate slug placement at 50 yards.
Let's look at the facts.
1. There are different kinds of slugs and different kinds of barrels.
2. Don't shoot your shotgun with the choke tube removed, unless you want to risk damaging the threads.
3. Slugs are NOT the same diameter as the bore. For "Foster style" slugs, the ones typically called "rifled slugs" like the Remington Sluggers are best fired through an Improved Cylinder choke (slightly smaller that the bore). If you don't believe me...READ THE BOX. "Rifled slugs may be fired through any choke; however, improved cylinder provides best results. These slugs will also perform well in fully rifled barrels and barrels fitted with rifled choke tubes" (Remington Slugger box).
4. Sabot slugs are designed to be fired through a rifled slug barrel. They should not be fired through anything else or they may fly like a football thrown without any "spiral". Having that slug just tumbling through the air...not good.
5. There are some slugs designed for either rifled or smooth. Rottweil-Brenneke makes such slugs, which I have used personally in both rifled and smooth barrels with success. "The choke does not have a significant effect on the precision of this cartridge; it can therefore be used for all popular shotguns"
Note: The makers of some of the early variable chokes (Mossberg's C-Lect-Choke for one) did not reccomend shooting slugs through them- the choke consisted of small steel "fingers" that could be damaged. Modern choke tubes are made differently, and should be fine.
What is the range of a 308 marlin?
The US Army defines the maximum effective range of a .308 as 800 meters. The US Marine Corps defines the effective range as 1000 meters. There will be variances due to things like bullet weight, barrel length, etc. Generally speaking, bullets are no longer effective once they become subsonic, which happens at around 1000 meters with a .308.
Do you need hunting license to hunt private land in ny?
No-as long as you fall into the "landowner" category (you own the land, are a permanent resident on the land, are in the immediate family of the landowner, etc). You must still purchase any additional stamps that would not be covered by a basic hunting license. Refer to the WV DNR's website for more detailed info.
Is it legal to hunt the giraffe anywhere and if so how much would it cost?
No it is not legal to shoot giraffe because they are not considered wild game. They deserve the right to live just like humans do.
How do you disassemble a marlin 30-30 lever action rifle?
That depends on which Browning centerfire semi-automatic rifle you are addressing - there are more than one.
Visit the Browning web site to get an owner's manual for field stripping instructions or locate the Gun Digest Assembly/Disassembly book for centerfire rifles for detailed disassembly instructions.
What kind of oils can you use to clean your compound bow without damaging it?
any gun oil or sewing machine oil will work for lubing moving parts. make sure to wipe off any excess as soon as you can and only apply it to the metal moving parts. the best method of cleaning is with a damp cloth and a mild soap. lubrication is where oils come in. If the bow is used for target shooting any commercial lubricant will work. If the bow is used for hunting, partricularly for whitetail deer, use a graphite or vegetable based oil spray like "pam" as deer find it less offensive than petroleum based products.
In Open Season what season is it?
The Meaning of open season is that it is an open hunting season. A time when hunters are allowed to hunt. But then, at a certain time you aren't allowed to hunt.
No, most of their politcal views are one sided and quite frankly a little racist. I really don't think anyone would mind you hunted down Fox.
What should you wear to go quail hunting?
This applies to most hunting situations:
orange shooting vest (with a game pouch, good quality hiking boots, brush pants or an old pair of jeans, gloves(if cold), orange hunting hat, and a belt.
Also bring a backpack with extra clothing if it gets cold. Pack a survival kit, multiple knives (minimum of 2), a lighter, lots of string (different sizes and strength), a compass and map of the area, your various licenses you will need. And of course a gun, for quail, a shotgun any gauge will do fine.
What can a 120 lb crossbow kill?
Just about anything if you put the arrow in exactly the right place.
A 120-pound crossbow could be suitable for some hunting if the right arrows are selected and shots are taken from the proper distance. However, many states require a minimum of 150 pounds for deer and larger size game.
Can you shoot Buckshot out of full choke?
Yes. It should pattern well and the effective range should be increased slightly.
What are the advantages of hunting?
Most people are not naturally against hunting, they are simply conditioned/trained to misunderstand the sport. If you ask a non hunter, What is hunting?" you really get some interesting answers. They are as varied as the people you ask. The negative answers most often refer to cruelty, disregard for life, danger of accidents, violation of property rights, drooling, and etc.. Most answers would be changed by a little education. Perhaps the anti-hunters forget that their eyes point forward.... just like every other predator. The human being is designed as a hunter by nature. Do you remember the day after Thanksgiving, when stores had their "Welcome to the Christmas Season" sales... at 4:00 AM ? I went with my wife; I think it was a good example of a predator on the hunt. In some form, I think we are all "hunters".
Sorry, I could get on a soap-box about this one... however, I have deviated from your question: "Why are people AGAINST hunting?"... I don't know, and maybe they are not... philosophical issues.
I would like to buy a Winchester Model 70 Mannlicher Style rifle, or anything related such as catalogs, brochures, boxes, magazine articles, and etc.
