Bow huntingfor beginnersBy Sam Erickson

A bow and arrow is one of the world’soldest forms of hunting. Cavemen stalkedancient animals across the world, but thebow and arrow fell out of favor withhunters with the advent of more powerfulguns. Today, bow hunting is returning topopularity, with many people citing it is amore natural way to hunt and others sim-ply enjoying the new challenge of a dif-ferent kind of weapon. While many of thehunting aspects are similar, using a bowis a more complex process that takes timeand practice. Probably the most importantthing to know about bow hunting is howto shoot.

First, you’ll want to spend some quali-ty time shooting at hay bales or other safetargets in order to get your mechanicsdown. Like any kind of athletic activity,bow hunting requires muscle develop-ment and muscle memory in practice soyou can perform when the time comes.Consistency is key in your pull. Pull thebow apart, with steady pressure goingforward and backward. Don’t worryabout your aim just yet. One techniquethat some use is to shoot with their eyesclosed so they can focus on the motion.You don’t even have to release the arrowto practice this feel.

Once you have developed this musclememory, which won’t happen overnight,you can begin to aim at targets. Manypeople will recommend you alternatebetween a target and focusing on thedraw. This alternation can help you toremember to focus on that draw, as a tar-get often focuses the mind and distractsfrom the essential mechanics. If you wantto increase the pressure and mimic a realhunting scenario, you can get a friend orrelative to antagonize you as you shoot,helping you to develop your concentra-tion and experience the pressure of a real

shoot. If you are involving anyone, besure that you are safe and that they nevercross the line of sight of the weapon.

Shooting a bow and arrow is a processthat involves the whole body. Many peo-ple see the draw arm as the most impor-tant, but the support for the weapon reallycomes from the bow arm. Many peoplefind it difficult to draw the bow original-ly, taking time to develop those muscles.It’s just as important to develop the mus-cles in the bow arm because that providesthe primary support. Arms should be keptin parallel and straight out from theshoulder. Feet should be kept parallel toone another and perpendicular to the tar-get, providing stability to the body.

It can take a very long time to becomea good shooter with a bow, but these easysteps, while not always exciting or glori-ous, will bring you closer to bringingdown your trophy when you are out inthe woods. Time and practice before willsave you headache and heartache laterone.

Deer hunting secretsDeer are one of the most popular kinds

of game to hunt in the United States.Many men, women and families have atradition of heading out every year insearch of the big buck or the best doe forthe table or the trophy room. Hunting deeris a tricky business. That’s part of theattraction for many, but it can be frustrat-ing to venture out time and time againwithout any reward. That frustration canbe avoided with a few simple tricks. Whileit’s not a comprehensive list, below are afew tips and tricks that will help you besuccessful on your hunt.

One common mistake people make isto hunt the wrong wind. The wind willchange, often during the day, so it’s essen-tial to set up a spot that won’t blow yourscent into precarious areas. Many peoplebecome attached to successful stands inthe past or have only one. If the wind isblowing the wrong way, you will givenotice to every animal in the area aboutwhere you are, and you’re sure to leave thestand empty-handed at the end of the day.Having several different stands will allowyou to make your choice based on wherethe wind is heading.

Watch the weather. Like humans, deerlike to be out of the rain. One simple strat-egy is to watch the weather yourself andhead out to your blind or stand, arrivingabout an hour before the rain ends. Deerwill begin to poke their heads out and lookaround for food after a rainstorm. Rainalso changes the dynamics of the forest,changing sight lines and covering uptracks and scents, giving you an opportuni-ty to bring down an animal that might oth-erwise be aware of you. Drought condi-tions will push animals in different places,and being aware of where animals mightbe foraging based on the recent rains, orlack thereof, will give you an insight intowhere to set up.

There is a reason that these big animalshave survived so long; they are smart andon to the ways of most hunters. Leave

plenty of space between you and othermembers of your hunting party. An animalrunning from one scent might travel rightinto the path of another.

Finally, if you want a big animal, youhave to hunt where the big animals are.That may seem obvious, but a lot of peo-ple are content to hope that they are goingto bag a 10 point buck when they’ve neverseen one in their own local hunting area.It’s a simple fact that the largest deer liveonly in certain parts of the country, andyou’ll have to travel to get something ifyou’re not fortunate to live in the area. Ifyou have to travel, it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so it’s a good idea toconsider hiring a guide to give you thebest possible chance of success. Deerhunting is popular, but if you want anexceptional animal, you’ll have to doeverything right.

short weekend trips at popular lakesideresorts to extended package tours atremote sites. You can even go on a fishingtrip abroad. You can plan your own fishingvacation or you can seek the help of atravel agent or a fishing guide.

The answers to these questions shouldgive you some idea of the vacation you areseeking and where you should start yoursearch. If you are looking for a saltwateradventure among friends in a remote loca-tion, then you will probably want to call atravel agent and look for a package deal.

Reasons forrecreationalfishing

Whether it’s for salmon or trout, fishingcan seem like a pointless, futile endeavorto an outsider. Why stand around for hourson end casting a pole into the water whenyou can just go to the store and buy somefish? Why take the time and energy todrive out to the lake or stream and getdirty in pursuit of something already atyour supermarket? For many, fishing istheir primary source of recreation, andthere are many reasons why fishing isworth the time and effort it takes to beinvolved.

Fishing is easy to get into. More andmore, there are regulations surrounding thekind of bait and the quantity of fish youcan catch, but if you’ve got a pole, somebait and a body of water with fish in it,you’ve got everything you need to go fish-ing. Most big box retailers have fishingsections that can outfit you within an hour,and there are lots of resources in print andonline that can provide you with the basicsyou need to get started.

Fishing is relaxing. By its nature, fish-ing requires patience and repeated activity.It requires you to sit in one place for awhile. For many people who fish regular-ly, this is the best aspect of a fishing trip -spending time without the demands oftraffic, family, phone calls or work. Theprimary obligation when fishing is to sitdown and wait, which gives many peoplean expanse of time difficult to find outsideof the woods.

Because you are outdoors for long peri-ods of time, fishing can put you in bettertouch with nature. You’ll have time tonotice things that you otherwise wouldn’t -the birds, the trees, the way the riverflows. You’ll also be locked in a battlewith Mother Nature, trying to sleuth outthe best spot and learning about the waysthat fish move in the lake or stream.

Fishing gives you time to connect withpeople. You can talk with your family orfriends about the best fishing spots, theright kinds of gear, the best times of day orany of the other intricacies of fishing with-out having to worry about the contentiousissues or divisive topics within your circle.

Fishing can also give you quiet timeaway. If you lead a hectic life, there’s noreason why you can’t pick up your poleand head out on a weekend morning, leav-ing the worries of the world behind as youstep into a serene setting. Time disconnect-ed from the always-on world is gettingharder to come by. Fishing allows you areason to turn off your cell phone and stepaway from the world for a little while.

There are a lot of reasons why peoplechoose to spend their recreational timefishing - and why you might start. It’s aneasy hobby that forces you to sit down,relax and take a look around you. If you’reinterested, locate your nearest fishing holeand cast a line today.

Ensuring tender venisonWe won’t go into the details of how to clean a deer, but it might be a good idea to

review the procedure in a field dressing book. There are many things that affect the finaloutcome of the meat, but tenderizing begins with hanging, so that’s where we will start.

Once the deer is cleaned it is important to cool the meat as soon as possible. The deermay be hung with the hide on or off. However, cooking the meat becomes more difficultif the deer is hung with the hide off because the meat tends to dry out. More trimming isthen necessary as edges harden. Leaving the hide on does make skinning more difficult,but it helps the meat retain moisture, ensuring juicy venison steaks. To prevent meat con-tamination, experts recommend cleaning the body cavity one more time with a cleancloth and solution of one-half cup salt to one gallon of water. This additional cleaningprocess will remove any minute stomach or bowel contents that may have been missedduring a previous cleaning, thereby adding to the gamey flavor of the meat. As the meathangs, tenderizing occurs and then temperature becomes the key element. The tempera-ture should be maintained between 32 and 38 degrees to allow natural enzymes to ten-derize the meat. If the temperature goes above 40 degrees, spoilage will occur. Most deertwo to three years old require hanging for only one day; if deer hang for longer periods,keeping an eye on the temperature becomes critical.

Tenderloins, the two large muscles on the inside of the body cavity that run along thebackbone to the hipbone, should be removed immediately after hanging. These are themost tender pieces of any deer that has been field dressed properly - the filet mignons.

The loin, which runs along both sides of the backbone, is generally the next piece ofmeat to remove. Trimming off as much of the connective tissue, the white part, will helpensure a tender steak. Sloppy cutting that leaves the connective tissue is the primary rea-son meat is difficult to chew; it also contributes to the gamey flavor.

From there, the shoulders can be cut for pot roasts or stews, or ground for burgers.The flank and breast are also good for stews or ground for meatballs. Legs can becooked whole like a leg of lamb, cured and smoked, or cut into small pieces for kabobs.Hind and fore shanks can be cut for stews or ground for meatloaf. The rump makes anexcellent pot roast or it can be ground for deerburgers or cubed for stews. The round istypically cut into steaks which are perfect for grilling, so save some for summer. Loinand rib chops are best cooked with dry heat as in frying, broiling, grilling or roasting.Don’t overlook the neck which contains a lot of meat but is time-consuming to debone.The meat can be used for stew or ground for sausages.

As mentioned above, careful trimming of the connective tissue will help ensure tendercuts. Excessive fat left on the meat also adds to the gamey taste. Use a moist heatmethod of cooking the shoulders, rump, flank and breast. Adding butter or bacon duringdry cooking methods helps prevent the meat from becoming too chewy.

Practicing good cleaning methods is a necessity. Using sterilized utensils and washingthe meat thoroughly before packaging will help prevent contamination. Refrigerating themeat promptly will keep bacteria at bay.

In review, to ensure good-tasting, tender venison, hang the carcass and keep the tem-perature below 40 degrees. Use a salt solution to clean the body cavity one more timeand remove all fat and connective tissue from the meat. Use the best cooking method foreach piece and practice safe food-handling practices.

With all this prime meat on hand the culinary options are limitless. Roasts, stews,steaks, burgers and jerky are the norm, but why not try using venison for bologna,lasagna, sauerbraten, salami or pepperoni. Venison can even be canned.

ShootingSafety

• Always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Donot point a firearm or bow at anything you do notintend to shoot. Control the direction of the muzzleat all times. Never rest a muzzle on your toe or foot.Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until theinstant you are ready to fire. Always keep the safetyon until ready to fire; however, the safety shouldnever be a substitute for safe firearm handling.

• Trust every firearm or bow with the samerespect you would show a loaded gun or nockedarrow. Every time you pick up a firearm, the firstthing you do is check to see if it is loaded. Be surethe chamber and magazine are empty and that theaction is open until ready to be fired. If you do notunderstand how to determine if it is loaded, do notaccept the firearm until someone has safely shownyou that it is unloaded. Read your instruction manualcarefully before you handle new firearms or bows.

• Be sure of your target and what is in front ofand beyond your target. Before you pull the triggeryou must properly identify game animals. Until yourtarget is fully visible and in good light, do not evenraise your scope to see it. Use binoculars! Knowwhat is in front of and behind your target. Determinethat you have a safe backstop or background. Sinceyou do not know what is on the other side, nevertake a shot at any animals on top of ridges or hill-sides. Know how far bullets, arrows and pellets cantravel. Never shoot at flat, hard surfaces, such aswater, rocks or steel because of ricochets.

• Unload firearms and unstring conventional bowswhen not in use. Leave actions open, and store sport-

ing arms in cases when traveling toand fromshooting areas. Take bolts out or break down

shotguns, if necessary. Know how yourequipment operates. Store and transport

firearms and ammunition separatelyand under lock and key. Store

firearms and bows in cool, dryplaces. Use gun or trigger locks

and guards when not in use.• Handle the firearms, arrows

and ammunition carefully. Avoidhorseplay with firearms. Never climb a fence, a treeor a ladder with a loaded firearm or bow and arrows.Never jump a ditch or cross difficult terrain with aloaded firearm or nocked arrow. Never face or lookdown the barrel from the muzzle end. Be sure theonly ammunition you carry correctly matches thegauge or caliber you are shooting. Always carryarrows in a protected cover or quiver. Learn theproper carries. Try to use the two-hand carry when-ever possible because it affords you the best muzzlecontrol. Always carry handguns with hammers overan empty chamber or cylinder. If you fall, be sure todisassemble the gun and check the barrel from thebreech end for obstructions. Carry a field cleaningkit.

• Know your safe zone-of-fire and stick to it.Your safe zone-of-fire is that area or direction inwhich you can safely fire a shot. It is "down range"at a shooting facility. In the field it is that mentalimage you draw in your mind with every step youtake. Be sure you know where your companions areat all times. Never swing your gun or bow out ofyour safe zone-of-fire. Know the safe carries whenthere are persons to your sides, in front of, or behindyou. If in doubt, never take a shot. When hunting,wear daylight fluorescent orange so you can be seenfrom a distance or in heavy cover.

• Control your emotions when it comes to safety.If you lose control of your emotions you may dosomething carelessly. If you have just shot a target oranimal you probably will be excited. At that momentyou may turn with a loaded firearm back towardsyour friends or you might run with a loaded firearm

towards a downed animal with the gun safety off. You or some-one else may be in danger once you lose control of your emo-tions. Show discipline. Rehearse in your mind what the safeactions will be. Do not allow your daydreams to prelace goodjudment. Show restraint and pass up shots which have theslightest chance of being unsafe.

• Wear hearing and eye protection. While shooting at therange, you must wear hearing and eye protection at all times.Firearms are loud and can create noises which are damaging toa person's hearing. It can be a gradual loss of hearing due tooutbursts of noise over many years. The damage could also beimmediate, especially if your ears are next to a muzzle blast.Vibrations from the blast are enough to create loss of hearing.Wear glasses to protect your eyes from escaping gases, burntpowder (especially in blackpowder shooting), and other debris.

• Don't drink alcohol or take drugs before or while handlingfirearms or bow and arrows. Alcohol and drugs impair normalphysical and mental body functions and mustn't be used beforeor while handling firearms or archery equipment. These sub-stances affect emotions, making it easier to lose control.

• Be aware of additional circumstances which require addedcaution or safety awareness. Just because something isn't listedunder these "ten commandments of shooting safety" doesn'tmean you can ignore it if it is dangerous. There may be rulessuch as in muzzleloading or archery or posted at a shootingrange which should also be followed. Also, practice reloadingsafety by following and reading all specific instructions.Practice all commandments of shooting safety. Ensure a safefuture for you, others andthe shooting sports!SeeRESPECT,P.8

Boating Safety for HuntersWhen boating, each person on board should wear a life

jacket or other personal floatation device. Don't overloadthe boat. Check the capacity plate, and never exceed theweight limit or number of people you safely can haveaboard. Consider the weight of your passengers andequipment. Hunters and their dogs should always remainseated. If you must move, stay in the center of the boatand keep a low center of gravity. Always check the weath-er, and stay on shore if bad weather occurs or is expected.Tell a responsible person where you are going and whenyou will return. You should also observe the rules of safefirearms handling and transport.

All firearms being transported in a boat during hours ofdarkness should be unloaded and cased. Hypothermia isan added danger when hunting around water. This loss ofinner body heat most commonly occurs when the air tem-perature is between 30 and 50 degrees. Carry extra clothesin a waterproof bag. Keep a survival kit with you, includ-ing matches in a waterproof container. This allows you tobuild a fire for warmth and to dry your clothes if wet.

If your boat capsizes, stay with it. If the boat is stillafloat, climb on top. You're more likely to survive ifyou're not in the water. Wear your life jacket. This keepsyou warmer and your head above water. Use commonsense when boating to your favorite hunting spot. Allowextra time so you don't forget important safety precau-tions. Don't let your next waterfowling trip turn into atragedy.

Hunting Safety TipsDon't rely on your gun's safety. Treat all weapons as if

they're loaded and ready to fire. Never cross a fence,climb a tree or stand or jump in a ditch with a loaded gun.Never hoist a loaded weapon into a stand. Never load orcarry a loaded weapon until you are ready to use it.Always unload weapons before reding in any vehicle,including ATVs.

Watch your muzzle so the other fellow doesn't have to.Wear hunter orange so you can be seen. A blaze orangehat and at least 400 square inches of hunter orange abovethe waist-line should be worn during all gun deer seasons.It should be worn at all times, not taken off once in thestand.

Keep guns and ammunition seperately and in lockedstorage. Don't shoot unless absolutely sure of your target

and what is beyond it. Know the range of your weapon.Remember, even a .22 rimfire can travel over 2-1/2 miles.Always wear eye and ear protection when shootingfirearms.

Always be sure your gun barrel and action are clear ofobstructions, and only carry ammunition specificallyintended for the weapon you're using. Always carry hand-guns with the hammer down on an empty chamber. Avoidalcholic beverages before and during shooting. Tell some-one where you're going and when you plan to return. Ifyou move from one area to another advise someone.

Dress for the weather, take a compass and maps to pre-vent from getting lost, and be alert for other sources ofdanger such as poisonous snakes. Carry a flashlight whilewalking through the hunting area before or after daylight.

Hunting EthicsAs the hunter learns the basics of hunting safety, he

must also develop certain responsibilities to the sport. Anunderstanding of game laws, sporting codes and wildlifemanagement are as important as handling a weapon safe-ly. All hunters must develop a code that make them goodhunters. This code is called "hunter ethics."

Obey all the rules of safety and insist that those aroundyou do the same. Obey all game laws and insist that thosehunting with you do likewise. Do your best to acquiremarksmanship and hunting skills that assure clean, sports-manlike skills. Support conservation efforts that assuregood hunting for future generations.

Don't be a slob. Keep your campsite neat, and don'toffend others by openly displaying your kill in camp or onyour vehicle. Pass along to other hunters, especiallyyoungsters, the attitudes and skills essential to being a trueoutdoor sportsman.

Tree-Stand SafetyWhen using a tree stand, always adhere to the follwing

safety rules, and the chance of an accident can be mini-mized.

Wear a safety belt. If your stand collapses, a safety beltwill prevent you from falling. Don't leave much slack inthe belt. One or two feet of slack will allow you to turn360 degrees, and if a fall occurs, you'll only fall one ortwo feet.

Use a cord or rope to raise and lower all equipmentfrom the stand, keeping your hands free for climbing.Keep equipment on the opposite side of the tree fromwhich you are climbing, so if you do fall, you won't fallon your equipment. Inspect your stand. Check for loose orrotten boards, loose nuts and bolts, and replace wornchains or straps.Practice setting up your stand. Be familiar

with the workings of thestand before you go tothe woods. Before usingmanufactured stands,always read the instruc-tions and warnings. Tella dependable personwhere you're huntingand when you'll return.If you're injured andcan't get out of thewood, someone willknow where to look foryou.

Pick a mature tree on which tosecure your stand. Do not use atree that is rotten or has dead limbs that may fall on thestand. Clear the tree of any limbs that could cause a fall,but get permission before you start clearing. If you're notallowed to cut limbs, use cords to tie them back.

If the weather turns bad, return to the ground. Highwinds make stands unstable. Rain, snow or sleet can causeyou to slip. Extra precautions are needed in these situa-tions. Don't fall asleep. This is a common cause of acci-dents. If you get drowsy, leave the stand and walk aroundto wake yourself up.

Remember, the higher you are in your stand, the fur-ther you might fall. If you do fall, don't panic. Try todetermine the injuries you have. Check for spinal cordinjuries by wiggling your feet and legs. If you suspect youhave this type of injury, don't move.

Stop excess bleeding. Check for broken bones, and ifyou think you have any, support them with splints. Carry asurvival kit at all times. Include matches, string, candybars, a whistle and other items that can make an overnightstay more comfortable.

If you told someone where you are and when you'reexpected to return, help should be on its way. Huntingsafely from a stand depends on what you do before youhunt. Being prepared is the best way to prevent tree standaccidents.pulling the trigger.

Unwelcome GuestsDuring the early part of deer season, especially in the

west, rattle snakes will still be active. Items left on theground during your camping should be checked beforeloading up to return home.

Stay alive!Teach these methods and rules to your children and

family members.

By Angela Shelf MedearisWhile oatmeal is a wonderful way to

add fiber, grains, nutrients to your diet,most folks think of oatmeal as a breakfastfood. It's time to take oatmeal beyondbreakfast. Oatmeal is a whole grainbecause it contains all of the parts of theoat grain, including the bran, endospermand germ. The interesting thing is thatwhen we eat the regular oatmeal most ofus grew up with, we aren't eating the grainin its original form. We are usually eatingrolled oats. Rolled oats have been steamedand flattened. That process decreases thecooking time so old-fashioned oatmeal canbe prepared in 10 to 25 minutes. Quick-cooking oats that can be prepared in 3 to 5minutes have been cut even more finely toreduce cooking time.

Some people prefer steel-cut oats. Theprimary difference between steel cut oatsand rolled oats is the shape of the grain.Steel-cut oats are not flattened - the grainis cut into thirds and then packaged forsale. When preparing steel-cut oats, it'sbest to use 4 cups of water to each cup ofoats. The cooking time for steel-cut oats is30 to 40 minutes. Steel-cut oats have achewy texture and hearty flavor.

All oatmeal is a good source of fiber,magnesium and thiamine. It also containsphosphorus, potassium, iron and copper.Oatmeal carries a health claim on the foodlabel because of the fiber content. Thehealth claim is that oatmeal - along with adiet low in saturated fat and cholesterol -may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Adding oatmeal to these deliciousSalmon Cakes boosts the nutrients andadds a delicious texture to the dish. TheYogurt Dill Sauce complements theSalmon Cakes and is the perfect topping ifyou prefer to serve the Salmon Cakes on abun.

King of the game birdsThe wild turkey is the largest of all

game birds in North America, but bagginga wild turkey is often a matter of being inthe right place at the right time. To betterensure that you bag a bird, it is advisableto scout the area before you hunt.

Wild turkey can be found throughoutmost areas of the United States. In ruralareas the male wild turkey, referred to as atom or gobbler, is commonly seen casuallywalking along the roadside or near theedge of a field or pasture. Toms may looklike they’re out for a leisurely stroll, butthey are actually in their strutting zone, thepurpose of which is to attract hens. Wildturkey are creatures of habit. They followthe same pattern of behavior every day,and hunters who know that routine are themost successful.

A typical day in the life of a wildturkey goes a lot like this: After spendingthe night roosting in a tree, the tom will

gobble at first light in an attempt to draw ahen. If a hen flies down, he will join her; ifnot, he will fly down and head to his strut-ting zone, continuing to gobble. An impor-tant point to note is that the tom will neverleave the roost until he’s certain it is safeto do so by scanning the ground first forpredators. This could be an hour or twoafter dawn in bad weather or in heavilywooded areas where sunlight is slower tofilter through the trees. The strutting zoneis located in open areas, often on elevatedridges, where hens can easily see the tom.The dominant male will strut the longestand have his feathers fully fanned toimpress the hens.

Once hens are attracted, the gobblingbecomes infrequent, although the struttingcontinues as the tom follows the hens asthey feed. He may mate several times witheach hen during the morning. Wild turkeysare not likely to stop for water except inthe most arid of climates. They consumeenough moisture through feeding in mostareas of the country. Once the demand forfood has been met, hens may retire to thenest while toms give themselves a dustbath or continue to strut and gobble toattract further hens. Afternoons are spentfeeding. As the day grows long, the flockheads back toward the roosting area andflies up around sunset. Particular aboutroosting sites, they may change trees sev-eral times before finally selecting just theright one.

Locate your turkeys prior to the huntingday by scouting. If no wild turkey is spot-ted by scouting, you may need to use alocator call, listening for a reply. To somehunters, turkey calling is the best part ofthe sport. Knowing which calls to use andthe challenge of getting that tom to comewhen called is the biggest thrill. Expertsrecommend giving a call every quartermile until a response is heard. Pinpoint thegobbler location and mark the site or trailso you will be able to find it again later.Because wild turkeys are such creatures ofhabit, you can hunt the same area yearafter year once you’ve located a hot spot.

The best way to bag a turkey is to“roost” a gobbler, which means to locatehim in his roost tree the night before thehunt. Plan to arrive back on the scenebefore sunrise about 100 yards from theroost. As daylight arrives, successfulhunters give a few quiet tree yelps towhich the gobbler will reply. Be patient atthis point. Most hunters make the mistakeof yelping louder or too frequently if theydon’t get a reply immediately. Scratch atthe ground like a foraging hen before call-ing again. And remember, in foggy orrainy weather gobblers may stay in theroost a bit longer before flying down.Although this early morning strutting timeis the best to bag a bird, there will be otheropportunities as the day passes.

Turkeys feed until about 10:00 a.m. Ifyou wait along their grazing route, theymay eventually walk right into your path.Because they are slow feeders, this waitinggame may take awhile but it’s the hunterwith patience who takes the tom home.Between late morning and mid-afternoon,stake out strutting zones. Gobblers returnto these areas, seeking more hens when themorning hens retire. The action slowsdown after 2:00 p.m., although many atom has met his match during this time.Experts recommend the hunter find a com-fortable shady spot not far from theturkeys and give a few yelps every 15-20minutes. Gobblers are quieter at this timeof day and the tom may not reply untilhe’s within shooting range. Be ready. Lateafternoon brings feeding zones into theaction again, so stake out one and waitpatiently. During the last hour of daylight,try to pinpoint the roosting area if youhave not done so already. By doing this,you’ll know where to start the hunt on thefollowing day.

Don’t be fooled by a turkey’s sluggishappearance and behavior. They may lookslow and eat slow, but they can run up to12 miles an hour. Although they can’t flylong distances, once in the air they canreach 35 miles an hour quickly and glide ahalf mile when threatened. Play it cool andyou’ll bag that gobbler this year.

Household tipsThe best way to cook leafy, green

veggies such as spinach and kale is tostir fry them in just the water left overfrom rinsing. It works very well tosteam them, and adds no fat!

Keep track of the capacity anddimensions of your cookware by usinga permanent marker to notate the speci-fications on the bottom of each of yourbaking containers. This way, when arecipe calls for a 13-by-9 baking dishor a two-quart casserole dish, you caneasily tell which one you need. This is

especially important if you don't spenda lot of time cooking.

When you need to crush nuts or acracker for crumbs and don't have arolling pin, put them in a plastic bagand use a small can of soup to crushthem.

To avoid a dirty-smelling hamper,place a single sheet of fabric softener inthe bottom of your laundry closet or inthe hamper itself.

To keep sauces from splattering anddirtying the inside of your microwave,cover the food with a damp paper towelor a coffee filter.

Get a good hunting buddyIt’s a pretty iconic picture. A hunter in a

day-glow orange vest, gun in hand and hisfaithful hunting dog by his side. Dogshave been used for hundreds of years toassist hunters, and they can be a tremen-dous help to hunters of all kinds. .

Of course, you’ll want to get a dog thatwill help you out with your kind of hunt-ing. A couple of broad categories includehounds and gun dogs. Hounds hunt bysight or smell and are primarily used tohunt fur-bearing animals, like rabbits, rac-coons and coyotes. Some breeds prefer tohunt alone, while others work best in apack. A solitary coon hound won’t be near-ly effective as it would be in a pack. Gundogs are used in pursuit of small game,usually with the hunter using a shotgun.These include pointers, which locate andflush small game like pheasants, andretrievers, which go and get ducks andother birds after they have been shot.

It’s really hard to go down to your localpet store or humane society and get a goodhunting dog. In areas where hunting ispopular, many people specialize in breed-ing and raising purebred dogs specificallyfor the hunters in their region. You’ll wantto check the credentials of any breeder.

You can treat your retriever the wayyou would teach any dog to fetch. Wavean object in front of the dog and throw it ashort distance. When the dog has the toy,command it to return the toy to you. It’sessential that your dog learn your voiceand what your commands mean so that itwill return when the time counts. When itdoes, reward your dog with a small treat.You can continue this process, throwingthe toy farther and farther away. When youhave mastered that, you can work onretrievals that are much further away,walking your dog to the spot, then walkingit away.
