Well, I'm in Georgia.
>most state public land hunts are by lottery/raffle. But they also work by a point system, so if you don't get picked this year, you skip ahead of people next year, until you're eventually guaranteed a slot after a couple years if you don't get picked.
>there are restrictions on using rifle during bow season, but bows can be used during rifle season.
>Canadian/out of state tags are expensive. I might pay $50, you're going to pay $250-$500 depending on state/tag type.
>my local hunting clubs are $1,000 a year for membership.
>no idea on how to find a land owner. Everybody around here is basically "locked in" to whatever they have going on. My neighbors sons have had massive family fights over using their deer stand, hunting grounds are protected and coveted. We have Floridians here constantly for the club owned land, but local land is saved for uncles or old college roommates.

Oh ya.
Whitetail deer are a precious commodity.
Wild boar are a nuiscence.
No bag limit, no age/gender restrictions, open season all year long.
You might even find a farmer that will pay you to kill them.

A friend who works forestry was invited on a hunt next spring.
Free cabin, all we have to do is bring guns, ammo and food.

>250-500$
Damn man, that's expensive.
I read up some info on Public Hunting Lands for Virginia State Parks and here's what I've gathered:

- Anyone can enter public lands with a 18$ license
- Hunting archery permit for non-resident is 30$
- Deer license is 100$

Limit of 6 deer (2 per day) out of which at most half are does.

Primitive camping is allowed for the duration of the outdoor activity (tent trailer is OK).

Does it sound too good to be true?

For around 500$, I get to camp for 2 weeks and hunt deer.
It's like a wet dream

iPhone 7

Posted from my iPhone

For real tho, what the hell is that CAT phone? We have these Motorolla handheld computers for work and they have a phone build in but idk what you would need the computer capability for.

there is no such thing as /out/ phone. it doesn't even make sense.

10/10 if you want to die

You need to secure this thing to the ground ASAP

it is very stable and strong, 4 of us were up there with not problems at all. The pillars are of chestnut about 7 meters long.

They work. Pretty effay too. Although if you're going out for just one night it would make more sense to use a lighter pack.

Anyone know where I should look here in nz for a pack like op's/maxpedition? Looking for a comfy, durable, earthtone pack in the 20-35L range with attachment point galore ideally. Everything seems to be larger and geared towards hiking (what I have now) or those neon daypack backpack types.

Bow
Arrows
Target
Expert advice doesn't come free, that'll be $14.99 please

>Whats a good budget for babbys first bow?
You can get a Samick Polaris or Sage for less than $150 and both will work pretty will.

>Im a strong guy so i could handle a relatively high pull strength
Bows use different muscles (And in a different way) than most people usually use their muscles. Don't think that just because you're strong, using a bow isn't going to feel awkward as fuck at first. Generall, something with a 30/35 lb. draw is good for beginnings. Any more than that, and you'll probably develop some bad habits.

>>866040
>What accessories do i really need for a basic target shooting setup
A bow, a target (unless you're going to a range), a tab/glove, an armguard, a stringer, and arrows. That's pretty much all you really need.

And I really want to stress the importance of getting your technique down with a recurve before moving to a compund, if that's what you want to do. Every time I go to the local range, I see people with terrible technique using compound bows and wondering why they shoot inconsistently. Don't be one of those guys.

>>866040

>shooting that many arrows into 1 target

Seems like a good way to break your equipment.

Also, this is the only video you need to watch, OP:

Know the difference between a goose and a duck.
A goose can kill you and an duck can't really.

1) A shiny mylar blanket will keep you alive to -20C. Below that, stuff your shirt with walmart bags.

2) You can tell if a mushroom is poisonous or not by whether it has a hollow stem. Hollow = poison.

3) Build up your immune system by drinking small bits of water unpurified/unfiltered. Gradually work up to your whole water intake being such.

4) Speaking of water, you do need a lot. Luckily you can get it from eating tree leaves which are about 95% water.

5) If you find yourself in doubt, moss grows on the south side of the tree.

6) Growing a beard prevents rabies as well as spotted fever.

How do we get this added to the sticky?

>>875525
Of course it's possible. I would imagine it's mostly for convenience, as you can standardize and shape your tools in a way that maximizes your efficiency, but we used to do it when we could barely be considered people.

Holy fuck, why is antler so fucking expensive?

Any suggestions for what can be used instead of antler for fine knapping?

>>875564
Protip: During the winter before deer shed their antlers, find a small cluster of small trees growing closely together. Place a mineral or salt block in the middle. As the bucks stick their heads in to get to the salt, their antlers will rub the trees and become loose. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a few good sheds around the base of the trees.

contex;
did my first solo overnighter up in the mountains here in NZ last month, sleeping setup was pic related, camped right on the lake which was a mistake (gonna go somewhere wind-free and higher above the valley this time), think I got a couple hours sleep but insides hurt in the morning and felt drained so went home, which I'd like to avoid. Really into my light pack weight tho thus the want of ideally no sleeping related gear, is it doable outside winter with a fire, warm clothes and insulation from the ground?

>>875288
>is it doable outside winter with a fire, warm clothes and insulation from the ground?
Yes. You may also want insulation from the wind. If your tarp is open on the side facing the fire, a Mylar blanket at a 45° angle behind you (opposite the fire) is awesome for bouncing the heat back at you. Plus they pack small and weigh almost nothing.

>>875293
not taking the tarp this time, plan is to make a lean-to,raised bed with pad on top (inflatable sleeping pad is the one sleeping item i'm holding onto), fire and then a reflector wall if i have time, unless the environment presents a better option

>>875167
>what state is your body in

Texas cus if moved anywhere else I'd take up two states

Sustainability. Know how to farm various vegetables and their seasons. Know how to hunt fish, clean, and cook various animals. Know how to build shelters. Know how to start fires using various tools. Know how to cover your tracks. People who spend money on SHTF marketed gear are faggot niggers.

I want to learn trapping my area has tons of small game

"Hey Dave, what the fuck is this shit we just walked into?"

"Fuck if I know Bill, but I can smell some of those hoo-mans inside this weird standing-den."

"Oh, they dead?"

"Nah, I can smell a bit of fear on 'em. God damn, this den-thing feels good to rub my face on though."

"Cool mate, let's just hang here for a bit then continue on."
You're REALLY overthinking this, Anon.

>>874477
"Dave I smell pussy."
"Me too, a nice bloody one!"

No reason to think at all.

>>874461
Pic related? Black bear? Blackies I don't really worry about them. Try not to get spooked. If the weather's good I just sleep with my cot, sleeping bag, and a pistol by the fire. I woke up once to dead branches on the ground snapping and him slurping from the pond near by. Woke me up, knew what that it was him. Got a glimpse but just put my pistol over my cheast and went back to sleep. He carried on. Most of the time op, they really don't give a fucking shit if the whole forest hears them. Their not that stealthy.
You can always bring them in with smells you're not aware of not just food.

>Sedona rules them all

Skip the PHX-Modror tier fuckhole.

Is Sedona really that good or is it just a meme? I feel like hippies talk it up so much because of muh power crystals and ayylmaos. I've never been but as far as I can tell it's really like most other places, just the rocks are a little redder.

Dunno, I've only lived here since '97. I haven't seen enough yet.

Perhaps you should go "party in Tempe"?

tl;dr prepare to get beaten up, robbed, and arrested if you try it solo

>>873781
If hanging out with a bunch of filthy, smelly crust punks who live for stealing booze and dumpster diving for food appeals to you, by all means do it.

i do.where are you?
