RE: Slingshot Hunters????
Same with my parents. Im not really allowed to hunt but I do it anyway because I like it and I like the meat I get out of it. Just like going out with my bow and shooting Cottontail Rabbits, Squirrels, Birds, Fish,Ducks,Geese,and thats mostly it. I kill them with my bow and homemade unfletched arrows, I get like 15 feet away from the animal and take the shot.The arrow isto fast for them to dodge even with un-fletched arrow going about 75-85 MPH. I just sneak at them from any direction, using the underbrush as cover, but if they spot me, I pretend to walk away from them and then zig-zag toward them slowlywithout looking at them, then I will stop if they move, and I will pretend to eat grass, like any other animal that isn't hunter, then they stop being spooked and know im not hunting them, or at least thats what they think. Then I raise my bow and shoot them. The arrow sometimes passes threw there whole body. I do this with every other animal I hunt, well except for Fish and Ducks. I hit a Goose last Spring. I was walking along the shore when I spotted a father and mother goose guarding there eggs. I snuck up on them and when I got like 12 feet away,I raised my bow and nailedthe male Goosein the chest. At first he flocked about, loosing a little feathers, but then he settled and was dead. The mother Goose flew off. I took only one of two of there eggs, and left the other one. I took my large bird to the creek shore, and made a big fire and cooked it. I couldn't eat all of it so I needed my friend Suavea to help. It was good. Then I took the egg home and cooked it and I was suprised that one egg was like equivalent to 5 chicken eggs. That was good to. Nature filled me up, and with my hunting skill and tools I took food, I did food, and I didn't have to come home for a snadwhich or something. I usually also eat earthworms I find under logs when it's raining, thats when im hunting but sometimes it's to chilly for any game animals to come out of there homes soI find other food. I purge the worms clean with Canteen water, and thier good to go. About 8 or 9 large worms is a quarter of my appetite, it's not much, but I need calories and little is something. I also pick BlackBerries and Rasberries I find in the underbrush of the Forest I hunt in. I just keep picking them and eating until im full. One time I lifted up a log and saw some beetles, the black small kind that come out at night, and ate one. The first one was nasty and salty crunchy, I admit, but it's food. Then the second one was a disaster, it sprayed me in the mouth as a defence and it tasted like sour battery crap it was really gross. The liquid acid numbed my mouth for about 3 hours and when I got home my mom made me food and the food tasted like the acid. Never do that it was horrible. Another mistake, I learn from mistakes. What do you guys bring on your hunts? I bring my Bow, side-kick quiver, arrows, survival knife, multi-tool, matches and magnesuim flint stick, skinning knife and rubber gloves so I don't get blood in my cuts on my hand, glasses, slingshot with handful of rocks, cellphone (on silent), canteen, small cup for boiling water, hatchet, and thats it. Not alot, all fits on me without backpack. I usually bring rope for hanging up my kills to drain there blood onto the ground. But yeah, im bored right now thats why I talk so much.
