Hunting Tips by Finbar O'Neill
- 1. HUNTING TIPS CREATED BY FINBAR O’NEILL
- 2. WHEN IT COMES TO HUNTING, BE AN AVID LEARNER • One of the greatest things about hunting is that there are always ways to improve and work on your hunting techniques • You can never truly stop learning
- 3. TIP#1: GO SLOW • One of the most common mistakes hunters make while targeting their prey is that they move too quickly. • A good way to practice moving more slowly is to use your watch. • Time yourself in increments of five minutes and see how well you can keep near-perfectly still. • This will help prepare you for moments when you will be forced to make as little movement as possible.
- 4. TIP#2: LEARN HOW TO COOK YOUR PREY PROPERLY • Offbeat prey like porcupines, muskrats, raccoons, and beavers can be made into delicious food. • First, be sure to remove any musk glands and fat. • Then, cut the meat into chunks and soak them into a salt solution that consists of half a cup of salt and one gallon of water. • Let them sit in this salt solution for twelve hours, then cook the meat slowly with lots of vegetables and spice to make the meat more flavorful.
- 6. TIP#3: KNOW YOUR ANIMAL • Know that an animal has terrific senses, so stop at any noise. • A human is not as prone to remember the sound of a snapped twig as an animal is. • If you are in the circumstance where you make a loud noise on accident, stop and stand there as long as possible until you know if an animal is close by. • Always be aware of your surroundings, and be sure to be still at any unusually loud noise you make or hear.
- 7. TIP#4: BUILD A BETTER FIRE • Fire starters are key to bring on your hunt, and there are many kinds you can either buy or make at home. • An at-home fire starter you can make is by combining about seven or so cotton balls with vaseline. • Place these in a canister and bring them on your hunt and you’re good to go - each ball will burn for two to three minutes.
- 8. TIP#5 REMEMBER WHY YOU’RE HUNTING • Whether it’s for sport or for feeding your family, animals should be respected and killed minimally. • If you haven’t had any lessons in hunting, you should not be trusted in the woods. • Make sure you know the proper ways to skin your prey and the right moment to shoot. • You should be strategic about your hunt and well educated before you’re allowed to be a hunter.
