Sometimes other hunters send me some great suggestions. As a result, I've added this page to share these helpful hints.

Subject: Few Suggestions
First, I got a good laugh out of your site. It's sites like this that make owning a computer worth while. I have been a pre-season hunter for a number of years, and have a few suggestions. First, If ya drive an ole truck with the front end already smashed in, then you can shoot, haul home, cut off the shot up part, then crazy as it sounds, call the local law dog and tell them you hit it. If you live in Illinois they will give you a phone number to call for a permit.(bumper permit) Do this a couple of times in every county. Second, you gotta have a fuzz buster. It let's you know when the law dogs are getting close. Buy a hot one from the local pawn shop. Third, If your gonna shoot a cow, get a rope,and 5 gallon bucket, put some rocks in the bucket, then go in the pasture near the cows, shake the bucket, and they will come running. (they think ya got feed) Then put your rope around the neck of a tame one, lead it to your truck, THEN shoot it.(no need to carry any further than ya have to) Have ya tried shooting roof rabbits(they go meow) 22 cb caps in town work great. just some thoughts, if any more come along I'll write.

Subject: Nice Bambi Site
Nice start on the Urban hunter site. However you left out a lot of very practical tips for our fellow sportsmen.
1. You forgot to mention the benfits of practicing on neighbors cats and dogs. Not only does it improve your marksmanship, but cures the pet overpopulation problems (an actual growing problem according to the Urban Planning Division - This could certainly result in favorable salutations from authorities which would help your cause in the case of a wrongful arrest along the way).
2. You forgot to warn folks to wear rain panchos and galoshes while wielding that chainsaw. Why that darn blood goes damn near everywhere. Yup, I can recall my first experience and cleaning that bloody crap out of eyes, ears, navel, and my pickemup bed. (I've added this important suggestion.)
3. If stopped by rangers with the evidence you can always use the excuse that you hit the animal by accident and are carrying it to the ranger station to turn it in or are looking for the owner. They're so stupid they'd never notice the bullet holes until you're long gone, if then. And most of them would rather not touch the animal and will send you on your merry way with it.
4. You also don't mention the wonderful sport of "Bunny Baseball", for the off times or when ammo is scarce. This sport is practiced most Autumns in the northern parts of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. The rabbits are so plentiful that they can be hearded/stampeded from the fields where they are eating the crop (i.e. nice and fattened) and then "sportsmen" with baseball bats, or more conveniently, 2 X 4s with hand carved handles (some handed down from father to son for generations), play a variation of polo/baseball with them (one rabbit is good for 2-3 whacks and when done the meat is already tenderized...). I might still have pictures from my last experience about 15 years ago.
5. It was good that you mentioned using the gauge of the number of bullet holes in the signs. This has been a long standing signal to other hunters such as ourselves, of where the best pickins may be found. You however did not make the distinction between rusted holes and fresh ones.
6. Finally, you totally left out sheep! Lamb chops are quite expensive in the store and rather tasty. If you're careful to shoot close to the head, there is much to be preserved for some special meals later. A great opportunity to practice your precision shooting. The primary hazard here (especially in Wyoming and Montana) is to make sure that the owner is not "attached" to (i.e. being intimate with) the prey at the time of bagging.

Subject: Deer Hunting
What kind of wacko are you ? Anybody would know you don't hunt deer with a chain saw. You spread fresh concrete around some corn stalks in any field and the deer will come to eat the stalks and cement hardens and you got your deer. You can choke the deer to death and that saves messing up the meat.

Howdy!!
Its great ta know thar's some folks still around who're tough enuf, and man enuf, to fend for themselves and their luved ones by stockin' the larder with fresh meat, personally seen to. One thing I like to do is instead of jest shootin' the animal in question (be it deer, cow, sheep.. whatever, meat is meat, and that's durn good eatin!!) is to duct tape a section of sewer pipe to the front of my pickemup truck and ram the animal real good. This method saves on ammunition, plus if ya can build up enuf speed prior to the collision, why the animal will roll several times so as to tenderize all of the meat and not just the parts that were hit with yer "pipe bumper". This method is also a little quieter than the assault rifle; let's face it, fully-automatic weaponry is inconveniently loud. Plus, this way, the truck is right to hand when it's time to load the animal in the bed. The chain saw idea is a good 'un, and I cain't wait to give it a go... I've always just used the axe before!
What a wunderful site...
keep up the good work.

Subject: More Bambi Killing Tips
Well, now you got some good suggestions about killing them pesky deer, but I've got a more efficient - and cheaper - way to do it.
All you need is some basic ingredients that you or your wife already has around the house. Shampoo, conditioner, perfume, makeup, hair spray. That Loreal stuff works good. Spray, gargle, splash, dash, and bathe in a mixture of all of it, then go on out into the woods. The deer will flock to you. They never suspect you're there to do them harm, because what self-respecting deer hunter would ever be caught smelling like that? Wearing panty hose also helps. That little "whisk, whisk, whisk" they make as your thighs rub together while you're walking will bring every deer in the woods running straight to you.
If you don't believe me, I've got the evidence right here:
http://dbell.magbelle.net/deer.htmlI probably shouldn't be sharing this with you, because for the last 10 years or so, I've killed more deer than my husband, father, son, brother and every other guy that has the misfortune to compete with me in the deer woods. They still ain't figured it out.
