So I went hunting for the first time ever this week and I have a question. I found that of the 4 squirrels I killed, 3 did not die right away. I didn't give them much time to suffer and quickly gave them a life-ending bashing. How often should one expect to have to dispatch an animal when hunting? Did I fuck up or is that normal?
Usually takes a minute and yes it is normal.
Sad as fuck but normal.
>>623425
They are tough little fuckers. I felt sorry for them honestly. I doubt it was worse than getting eaten alive by an owl or dying from some parasitic infection, though. And they were tasty after being fried. I think next time I am going to bring along a bashing stick of some sort.

I am currently living in the central florida area but havent been able to find any useful frequencies for radio?
I was mostly looking for anything that would just let me know whats going on in the general area as well as something I could turn to when an actual emergency happens. I am very new to general radio stuff so speak slowly : )
Also, general radio question thread.
Central fl Anon reporting in.
I have no use for outgoing communication, so I don't use a two way radio.
I use this a RadioShack Pro-95, it picks up all major bands, is extremely reliable, can be used with rechargable or regular batteries, has Dual Trunking, and was only about 20 bucks. the antenna can be swapped out, has an auto scan and search feature.
>>623248
know any good frequencies that would ever be useful?

At Lake Ontario, do I help this fish? Throw him upstream? Please help me now
Rochester NY sc/out/ here.
You get him to a less polluted lake.
Or pick him up and let him into the lake.
>>623070
why would you throw away you dinner?
>>623081
You don't wanna eat anything from Lake Ontario especially near the shore.
Loads of unknown pollutants thanks to Kodak and such.
Anybody into sailing?
Right now I have a 21ft venture, 1985 I believe but I'm not too sure. Great boat, I'm looking for something more ocean capable though.
Found a Cherubini 33, trying to buy it now.
Sorry for the pic. Stupid phone.
>>623031
dont be a fuckin pussy, any thing above 15 with an outboard is fine
>>623057
I want to be comfortable and do a reasonable speed. My venture gets thrown around in 2ft chop. Having something bigger makes it more stable, safer, and allows me to have more passengers.
What's your problem.
>>623057
yeah what's your problem cunt?
Just lost my job.
Nothing to do but walk and dream of better things.
I find walking very carthatic. Enjoy your time

>Lost my job.
Nice way to enjoy some downtime desu.
What did you do, anon?
Is there any reason to get bowie knives or machetes or kukris when innawoods around New England?
>>622687
No. Those knives were designed for tropical climates where the vegetation is thick, soft and lush, easily slashed and chopped with big knives. Good luck using those on oak, maple and birch.
>>622687
>any reason
Sure. Got a small cock? Packing around a big knife will make you feel better.
>>622692
I am getting the impression that they are sort of a do-everything knife. Not good at doing one specific thing, but can do alot of tasks.
Should the public be able to walk on the shoreline along the water anywhere or does private property ownership trump this right?
>>622542
Ocean, absolutely, particularly below the high tide point
Lake, not so much
>>622547
What about these lakes?
>>622542
The states where I visit the beach all have this rule. It's typically a non-issue for private property owners since parking is always an issue and camping is against the law (outside specific designated zones).
Sup, /out/? I'm going to become homeless soon, I've no job and I've done everything to mess my life up in the past few years. From dropping out of MIT to staying in Boston where I can't pay rent, I've fucked up, and I'm going to lose my apartment in a bit over a week. I'm probably going to get around hopping trains for transportation. I already have a great pack, tent, clothing, and sleeping bag, but aside from the basics I'm basically gearless.
What gear should I get before I go, and do you guys have any tips for living life on...

Post tips for winter camping/bushcraft all varieties allowed
Add snow gradually to your pot when you are melting snow to eliminate risk of burning a hole in the bottom of your pot. Especially if it's aluminium or similar
Pictures of winter camping/bushcraft also very welcome
Many gas stoves will have decreased efficiency in the cold
Birch bark is a very good tinder source even when wet or having had snow on it
A wider water container will have less risk of freezing then a narrow one
