Kim,
There are outlaws wherever we want to look for them.
There are people who cheat in golf as well as guys who cheat in anything.

The person you described shooting a caged animal is not representative of the
folks who love hunting.
Taking a kid hunting is probably the most wholesome thing a Dad could do.  It
teaches the kid respect for the animals and nature.

Kim, I realize that you and I have very different opinions.  I respect yours,
but I need you to respect mine.  I welcome your replies.

Jim

Greg,
You can't go wrong with a Leupold scope. Excellent quality, life time guarantee,
and reasonable price.
They were the last American made scope, but I've heard lately that the optics
are made elsewhere.
I've used them for over 30 years.

I am looking for a Marlin rimfire scope model 300,300a, or 300b

Hello fellow hunters, I just bought a new Remington 7mm Mag and I am looking for
a scope can anyone give me some advice on what a good choice would be? Or if any
of you have a used one that you are interested in selling let me know.

Thanks

Kim,

With all respect to you and your views, any sportsman, whether he hunts with
firearm or bow, is not interested in only killing.

That's why the dictionary defines hunting and killing with two separate
definations.

Hunting is the pursuit of a game animal.  Humans have been doing this for
thousands of years.  The natural conclusion of a hunt is taking the animal and
utilizing the food that it provides.

Killing is done in a slaughter house to provide meat to folks in the super
market.

You can say that modern sportsmen don't need to hunt to survive.  That's true. 
But I don't know any fellow hunter that would say his hunt was not a success if
he didn't kill an animal.

You can also look at it this way Kim, hunters have been the forerunners of
conservation efforts with the money that's been collected by license sales for
many game restoration efforts for many years.  "Ducks Unlimited" is a good
example.  The money collected from federal duck hunting stamps has resulted in
the preservation of waterways that wildfowl need to breed and for stops in thier
migration.

Kim, hunting is not killing and killing is not hunting.

Sincerely,
Jim

a hunting license. It is illegal to hunt any animal or bird with a gun or bow
and arrow except during daylight hours, with the exception of raccoon and
opossum which may be hunted at night as prescribed by law (Sept 1- Feb.28).
Legal ammunition for coon and opossum is shotguns with #6 shot or smaller and
.22 caliber rimfire firearms. With that being said, fox, bobcat, coyote, and
hogs can be run with dogs at night but with no firearms. I think rabbit can be
run at night also with no firearms.

I can't remember the exact wording, but I think it says something like 30
minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset for deer hunting.

Does anyone have a site that tells the laws for night hunting.
I say one thing husband says another.
We think we have someone near by hunting at night and was wondering what the
laws are.
Thank you
Kim

Got back home on Wednesday after hunting for 4 days.
Didn't see a buck.  Lots of them around but they're not chasing the does yet.
Saw a doe and a fawn along with 2 bobcats on the first morning.  The only other
deer I saw was a doe way out in a peanut field.
Going back up in January.
Good hunting,
Jim

Only a week away now for the rifle season!

Y'all ready?

I'm going up to Union Springs to hunt for the first week.

Jim
