What is the reasoning behind N. Dakota not allowing non-residents to hunt turkeys?

I don’t waste anything:

1. Using 2 fingers insert into the ducks anus and pull out all the organs…save the liver…good eating.

2. Using hatchet or knife cut the wings and head off.

3. Then from the neck peel back the skin…pull hard keep it in tact like taking socks off your feet all the way to the feet. Leaving you breast and legs with a whole duck to roast

Very good article. I will buy steel this year but will import an #8433 kit from the USA for my old Sizemaster. It’s $18.00 to $45.oo a box here in New Zealand and with Duck Shooting season 23 days away the fever is on us (Me and my Dog). $88.00 for a whole season licence from the first Saturday in May until the end of July for most Waterfowl. Canadian Geese can be shot year round now. Upland shooting of Quail,Chukor and Cock Pheasant is from 2nd June throught to 26th August. I have been shooting for 53 years and reloading for 40 or so of those. Enjoy your shooting and respect the prey.

cutem – how do u feel about the duck commander biting ducks in the head to kill them when they put them down? just out of curiosity?…..and the moderators aren’t going to take comments off of here when there strictly opinions and the whole point of the website is for differing opinions….if you want to chat strictly with people who agree with your side then go call one of your buddies and have a few beers and tell stories about your hunting escapades because obviously in the fantasy world bubble you live in your the great white hunter…..instead of attacking me personally through a website when u have no clue who i am u should just give some points to back up your arguments…..the point i was making with my comments is that most of the stuff going around about Jeff Foiles is untrue and even some of the stuff that is true many of us have all been guilty of from time to time whether on purpose or mistake – not saying the guy is a saint, far from it, if he broke the law purposely and for profit then he should be punished….the biggest thing that irritated me was the things people were saying weren’t even on the indictment – i don’t mind bashing the guy but at least do some homework and bash him for what he did, not rumors that aren’t true….

No need to debate…you’ve done enough to embarrass yourself and hunters as a whole with your comments. Have a nice day.

MODERATORS – One more time…any chance we can get this comments section removed?

cutem214……first off brother im not an anti-hunter, i actually don’t even know how that comment or the one about PETA makes any sense, u can call me a ass for believing what i believe but the comments make no sense at all – quite honestly i don’t know which one of my comments would make u believe im a member of PETA considering i despise everything about organizations like that

also just need to point out that hunting ducks is not a privilege – people who say that have no idea what there talking about – hunting is a right plain and simple – a right that everyone is entitled to at birth – it wasn’t to many years ago that hunters used live ducks as decoys and were legally allowed to do that – hunters also used to make there own decoys and use the skin and feathers of ducks and geese they shot to make there decoys look realistic (something that the public would probably be up in arms about today) – i wonder if the Native Americans used kosher hunting methods trying to put food on the table? – in my opinion hunting means killing – there aint nothing nice about it – its brutal and goes back well before government got involved

with that said PETA can have as many “fur is murder” rallies as they want – it doesn’t affect my hunting – i follow 99% of the hunting rules as do most people – but if PETA had there way and they banned hunting (which would never happen so we have nothing to worry about) i would still go out and hunt anyway because i feel its a right. if you want to argue anymore cut em just let me know…..would love to debate you on any topic related to this….but i will do my best to embarrass you if i disagree…..

Comment on Shotgun Shell Ballistics & Penetration by Jerry Couvillion

I have been searching for this information for some time and has answered a lot of questions for me concerning small steel shot effectiveness when higher velocities are applied. I live in south Louisiana where we have an early teal season in September. Probably 90 percent of our shots are inside 25 yards. Last season my hand loads consisted of one ounce of # 7 steel shot at a published velocity of 1646 fps. We did not lose a single bird. The high count of # 7s usually put multiple hits in the head and neck area leaving them completely incapacitated. Hunters using a load like this really should do some pattern board work to know exactly how it performs in their shotgun in order to know exactly which choke tube will be the most effective on their perspective targets. This article is extremely informative. Thank you!
