i've done some hiking and camping but my first deer hunt last year was the most interesting. all i did all day was slowly walk around the desert alone and look for deer. i wasn't going anywhere, and i didn't have any tasks to accomplish. i looked more thoroughly at my surroundings than i ever have. i climbed up and down hills. i did some reading around lunchtime because the deer wouldn't be moving much then anyway, but it felt very weird to sit out on a rock in the desert and try to read this book, so i went back and laid in the shade of my tent and took a nap, another thing i never do. i really liked it and i'm looking forward to scouting for this year's hunt

Jonny 290 posted:yeah i'm going out this fall. very nice no luck. i put in for deer and elk this year but only drew an elk tag, up near los alamos in what's supposed to be a pretty good elk unit. ADINSX posted:My wife and I are taking the Washington Hunters course over the next few weeks. I don't really want to kill an animal but I want an excuse to walk around nature. they are supposed to be pretty challenging, yes, but it should be fun. i highly recommend steven rinella's "the complete guide to hunting, butchering, and cooking wild game". volume 2 covers small game and fowl including turkey, but both volumes are great. https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Hunting-Butchering-Cooking/dp/0812987055 he also has a tv show (some episodes are on netflix, search "meateater") and a podcast. he puts forth a responsible and ethical form of hunting that i find very admirable and try to emulate. lancemantis posted:I always associate hunting with the cabella's type outdoors crew; bringing tons of semi-portable versions of your home amenities and drinking a lot and not moving much do you live in wisconsin because yeah it's pretty much true in a lot of places. western hunting is way different.

President Beep posted:as an avowed omnivore that is too much of a babby to kill his own food i really can’t look down at such a pass time. many states have laws against 'wanton waste' of wildlife. in such states, 'trophy hunters' would be wise to pack out their meat or be in deep poo poo when a fish & game checkpoint (yes, they exist) finds them driving home with a fresh skull & no meat. if you wish to make some sort of vague ethical distinction between a guy who wants meat vs. a guy who wants big antlers and meat, i don't know what to tell you my elk tag is for antlerless elk, gently caress packing a big bull elk out even if i did find one

Ciaphas posted:im not sure i could camp out anywhere even one night without being killed by my own incompetence and sheltered...ness in the summertime, most parts of the US you'd have a hard time actually dying. you could just lay down and sleep outside, you'd be fine except for the mosquito bites. you can go days without eating, just make sure you have some water with you. that said it's really nice to have a tent and a sleeping bag and the ability to make hot food/drinks.

syscall girl posted:i want to pay off my student loans by teaching in a rural area i grew up in a small town. my high school class was about 60 students. i didn't realize until i got to high school and started going on band/sports trips that it was actually pretty drat well-funded, well-maintained, and safe. lots of fond memories after the fact, back then i just couldn't wait to get out. there weren't that many teachers so basically everyone was guaranteed to have at least one class with a particular teacher, and we'd get the scoop from whoever had an older sibling. the teachers were pretty chill although one particular teacher and one particular student butted heads enough that the student took a poo poo on the hood of his truck. school demographics were like 70% hispanic, 15% mormon, 15% generic whitey, iirc.

motorcycle camping is real good too. somehow i have zero pictures from the trips i've made. you don't really even need saddlebags, you can just use one or two of those bungee cargo nets to hold everything down on the seat behind you.

A MIRACLE posted:how cold do hammocks get if it's cold out at night, you want either a foam/air pad under you in the hammock, or you can get these quilts that hang outside the hammock to hold in heat. if you just throw a sleeping bag in, you'll compress the bag under you and your rear end will freeze. if you can handle the annoyance of keeping that stupid foam pad under you, it'll be no colder than sleeping in a tent on the same pad.
