There is no right or wrong place to go. Both BC and Alaska have world class helli skiing.  Just look around and see who will give you the most bang for you buck.\n\nDid you know that cat skiing is cheaper and most time you get more runs per day.

Contact the city of Durango Co, ask about public land such as BLM land(bureau of land management). I also found out that there are a lot of SWA(state wildlife areas)in the area.Call the national forest service, and also I know people dont like hunters but the CDOW( Colorado dept of wildlife)has cool stuff on their web site such as watchable wildlife info and also info on public land. Have fun be safe

I live in Alaska, where hunting and trapping are part of everyday life. I don't personally do either, but most people I know at least hunt, and many of my friends trap. (Say what you will about fur - it's a renewable resource and it's WARM) \n\nMost animal rights groups are extremists, boarding on terrorists. I know from personal experience - my brother is a hunting guide and a trapper and has spent YEARS under various types of attack from these idiots. One group went so far as to post his home phone number on their web site with the message, "feel free to call him and tell him what you think." My nephew couldn't answer the phone at home for months after that. The same group also admitted, in the same post that gave his phone number out, that they have a history of harassing my brother. They have a biostitute (a biologist who sells his "knowledge" to the highest bidder) who flew over my brother's house so low that my nephew was afraid to go out in his own yard. They admitted THAT on their web site, too. \n\nAnti-whaling groups freak out when our Natives hunt whales - tradition in coastal Alaska. It's not like the people who live in a small village that's not on the road system can just pop up to 7-11 or Safeway if they need to eat. \n\nIf someone ever throws paint on my beautiful coat, they'd better hope to God that I don't see them when I'm driving.\n\nWhy aren't they going after poachers? Or the jerks who shoot an animal just "for fun"? How about the puppy mills? Or the (@&! who abuse their pets? There are plenty of illegal activites out there they  could focus on, but they prefer to ignore that. I don't get it.\n\n"Fur is more violently opposed than leather because it's easier to pick on rich women than motorcycle gangs." - bumper sticker

I can say that they should be heading your way soon.  It finally got cold here today and will stay that way.  Lakes and ponds are staring to freeze over.  I saw some geese and a couple large flocks of mallards moving south this evening.  Good hunting.

any fox dens I've come across are in easy digging ground like sand. There territory is about a square mile But will travel futher and move for good if hunting grounds become unproductive. Where's the meat

Boring no way.  I love it.  I love getting everything ready and sighted in.  I love sitting in the stand waiting patiently, it is so peaceful.  The hunt is the main part of hunting not just the kill.  I get just as excited with a spike as I do a "big pointer".  They all put meat in the cooler.  When your telling your story the main part is the hunt the kill is at the end.

There used to at least be a section on hunting, I don't even see that one now.\n\nMy mistake under Outdoor Recreation there is still a category on hunting.

While I am strongly opposed to commercial whale hunting, I have no real problem with native americans hunting for whales. It is an ancient tradition, and one that is vital to the lifestyle of the Inuit people.\n\nThe most important thing is that the Inuit are very concious of the environment. They realize what a valuable resources whales are, and will only hunt what is necesary for their needs. One whale can supply several dozen families.\n\nHere is an article on whales (written for teachers):\nhttp://www.usask.ca/education/ideas/tplan/sslp/trad.htm\n\nHere are some facts on whaling:\nhttp://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/prehistory/ancienttech/whaling.html

I do agree with you on what you do on your land is your buisness and that you should be able to hunt and fish on it but you should think about the big picture as far as game management the wildlife around your area could depend on what happens on your land if you overfish in a stream or river the spawning could have a impact same with game that buck or doe that you harvest will not have the opportunity to breed.to me if your freezer is getting empty it is time to do what you gotta do to survive just dont over do it and dont advertise what you are doing.

I am all for hunting.  I have hunted since it was legal for me to do so and I eat (or donate) what I kill.\n\nIt takes a special breed of person to watch a beautiful deer browse through the woods, put the crosshairs behind its shoulders, pull the trigger, blow their heart and a lung out the other side, cut the thing open, pull its guts out while smelling the fermenting browse and grain, and think "hmmm...that'll make a great steak".  Without people who can kill like this, the items carried at the grocery store would be much different.\n\nWhat does annoy me are the people who say that the animals are defenseless and that the animals get hunted into extinction.\n\nNo animal is defenseless.  Each animal has its own strengths and weaknesses.  Deer have excellent sight, smell, and hearing and are very fast, but their curiosity gets them killed.  Rabbits are fast, have great hearing, and can fit into places other animals can't go.  Bears have great smelling abilities and brute strength, but have poor eyesight.  Humans lack in strength, speed, smell, hearing, and sight, but their advantage is the ability to manipulate their environment and use tools.  Nothing is poor and defenseless; each animal has its own niche and has something it is very good at that keeps it alive.\n\nIn terms of hunting animals to extinction, it has happened.  However, it seems in America, people and companies spend money on animals that are eaten to keep the species thriving.  There are more deer than ever.  Every sporting goods store now has a aisle dedicated to food plot seeds and equipment, something I didn't see 20 years ago.  States and Federal government regulate the amount of game to be taken.\n\nJust my 2 cents

Screw this Sacremento only elitist crap. I'm not from Sacremento and I'm going to answer this question.\n\nUmm... rabbit hunting huh? Crap, I don't know a darn thing about rabbits let alone hunting. Umm... try the Sacramento Rabbit Forest. Yeah, they got tons of little bunnies you use for target practice.\n\nI'm sorry, I should've listened to you and left it up to the Sacramento folks. Now I know better.

Manik...we have those here in the Yukon...Both private and Govy, with controle and non controle of the animals.....The controled ones are in a fenced off area, where they can study and breed the species they are working with. Usually to eradicate certain inherant deseases that are killing off those in the wild...they are in a natural setting and well looked after.....Limited public veiwing is usually the case...for obvious reasons...\n\nThe uncontroled ones are open ranges, usually appendixed to a national park, where none or limited hunting is alowed...\n\nHope this helps... :)...Yukoneze

Why would you want to hunt out of a box?  Do you need a heater for when it's cold?  Want to bring in a tv and watch the game?  \n\nReal hunters don't hunt out of boxes or tent blinds.  If you need concealment, build a natural blind.

If you are actually serious about your question….\n\nHunting Whitetail deer is actually quite complicated.  Whitetails are master at adapting to various environments.  What tactics that might work in the Northern Woods of Canada, Minnesota, and Wisconsin won’t work to well out in the Rocky Mountain and Plains states.\n\nTactics also change with weaponry.  If you are hunting with a bow or a handgun, you need to be within 50 yards or so of a deer.  If you are hunting with a rifle or muzzleloader, the distance you need to be a deer is limited to the cartridge you are firing, how far you can see, and how accurately you can shoot.\n\nTo give a quick summary, there are two main methods of hunting whitetails:\n\n1.Ambush methods:  This typically involves staying in one place and waiting for a deer to walk within the kill zone.  I would also classify “deer drives” as an ambush method.  Many people employ treestands and bunker type setups for this kind of hunting.  Additional tools such as deer scents, deer calls, and decoys (deer and turkey being the most commonly used for deer) can be a great benefit in getting a deer into the kill zone and/or in a position where you can comfortably take it with the weapon you are using.  The trick in this method is learning where to set up so you will see and/or attract a deer to within shooting range.\n\n2.Spot & Stalk methods:  The spot & stalk methods is just like it sounds, see a deer and move undetected to within shooting range of the deer.  This can be used in combination with an ambush method, you can walk through the woods until you see a deer, or you can follow tracks and hope to catch up.  This method is quite difficult and can require a vast amount of land to do successfully.  Personally, I have been deer hunting 17 years and I am still bad at this method.  This method works best in areas with dense cover where you can move undetected, though it is required in Plains and open areas where a deer is outside of shooting range and you need to get closer.\n\nI would recommend reading the book “Hunting Big Whitetails: Tactics Guaranteed to Make You a More Successful Whitetail Hunter” by Bruce Nelson.  This is the best hunting book I have read on whitetail hunting.  You can find it on Amazon.com.\n\nGood luck and welcome to the world of hunting.

I don't hunt, but my husband hunts wild turkey, bear, and deer.  I used to think it was cruel, but after I went with my husband a couple of times I realized that when an animal is shot, it dies a much quicker and easier death than animals brought to a slaughterhouse or deer that get old enough to get slow and be unable to avoid coyotes.  Wild game is very nutritious and much easier to digest, especially for pregnant women and people with diseases of the digestive system.    Hunting feeds my family!  And hunters who are only interested in the trophy parts (hide, antlers, etc.) can donate the meat to several programs that use it to feed hungry families.  Of course, there are always those irresponsible people who make all hunters look bad by poaching, ignoring property laws, littering, or taking bad shots and risking wounding an animal rather than killing it.  But overall, I think hunting is a great tradition that goes back to the beginning of mankind, and is still necessary for a lot of families who would not otherwise be able to afford pricey grocery store meat.

No, caribou are different and Santa could never get them to fly so he opted for reindeer. Yams and sweet potatoes are NOT the same.
