You know Vin that is a great gun you have there, if you started a thread "Post your gun here" I'd share a few.

What do you plan to hunt?

Hey, feel free! I'd love to see what you have!

On Oct 1 I'm taking my 22LR out to hunt squirrel. Then later in the season I'll be taking this beauty out to hunt deer and feral hogs (the latter of which are invasive and in dire need of population control here in Texas).

Will you be hunting at all this year, Chaparral?

Here in NL there is not enough place to really hunt. Only in few spots. It is very regulated.

For the people who do get to hunt in NL, what do they hunt?

I'm going to guess you guys have an abundance of waterfowl?

There is hunting for small animals like rabbits, goose, pigeons etc almost all year round. Big animal hunting for deer and boar is possible xx number of animals every year. Strictly regulated. Some goose hunting around Schiphol and other airports.

I looked it up and there are 332 registered hunters (17 million people)

Hunting is quite big here in New Zealand. In fact, my wife works for a hunting clothing company so most of the people she works with are hunters. I have no idea about any of this myself but just wanted to join in on the conversation :) Tbe closest I've come to hunting is playing Far Cry 3.

Wow, thanks for sharing the info and calendar.
Yes, that is a super small percentage for you guys. According to sources online, it looks like the number of Americans who hunt tops out at about 5-6%.

What's wrong with going to a food shop?

Few of them sell good deer jerky and when they do, it costs a fortune.

I don't do much hunting myself, but from an ethical and conservationist perspective, I'm inclined to buy animal products from private hunters who are culling pest animals than from large factory farming ops, when possible. However, I also live in the center of a large concentration of brownfields and am wary of the VOC and heavy metal content of game meat and fish in this area, so I usually only eat locally taken animals when I'm visiting my in-laws.
