Where is a good place to live in North Carolina?

I have been researching on my own, but decided to get outside help, i.e. Yahoo Answers, to assist me in finding a place that would suite me in North Carolina.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, so I would need a more populated area for work purposes. However, my interests are extremely varied. I enjoy hiking, shooting, Dog Parks and activities with my Border Collie (any agility or fly ball centers would be ideal), and I am looking to get back into Camping and fishing (neither of which I haven’t done in years), and I really want to learn to hunt if I can find someone to show me the ropes. As for more “civilized” hobbies, I am a bit of a geek and like game stores with board/card games, coffee houses, and a nice bar/pub in town (with good wings). I can’t think of anything else to add at the moment.

So far my research has pointed me towards the Asheville area, but I figured I’d ask to get suggestions on other places to look.

Thanks for the help all! If you need me to add details to help just let me know and I’ll be happy to do so.
Does anyone know if Morganton, NC is a nice place to live? I’ve been offered a job in that area and there is also a State Psychiatric Hospital in that city.

how do laws like these get passed?

13.Alabama: You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.

8.California: It is illegal to drive more than two thousand sheep down Hollywood Boulevard at one time.

7.Nebraska: A man is not allowed to run around with a shaved chest.

6.Maine: Shoelaces must be tied while walking down the street.

5.North Carolina: It’s against the law to sing off key.

4.Louisiana: It is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol.

3.California: You may not set a mouse trap without a hunting license.

2.Maryland: It’s illegal to take a lion to the movies.

pardon the numbers they mean nothing. but my question is how exactly do these laws get passed? Im writing an essay on how voting really does make a difference, is this possibly the result of not enough voting?

Who would like to hear some good ‘bible belt’ jokes?

The owner of a golf course in Georgia was confused about paying an
invoice,
so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He
called
her into his office and said, “You graduated from the University of
Georgia
and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how
much
would you take off?”

The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, “Everything but my
earrings.”

You gotta love those Georgia women.

Alabama :

A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for
the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering
under
the weight of an eight-point buck. “Where’s Henry?” the others asked..
”
Henry had a stroke of some kind. He’s a couple of miles back up the
trail,”
the successful hunter replied.

“You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?” they
inquired.

“A tough call,” nodded the hunter. “But I figured no one is going to
steal
Henry!”

********************************************************************
Louisiana:

A senior at Louisiana was overheard saying… “When the end of the
world
comes I hope to be in Louisiana.” When asked why, he replied he’d
rather
be in Louisiana because everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later
than in the rest of the civilized world.

South Carolina:

The young man from South Carolina came running into the store and said
to
his buddy, “Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the
parking
lot!”

Bubba replied, “Did you see who it was?

“The young man answered, “I couldn’t tell but I got the license
number.”

North Carolina:

A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the
road
and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one
behind
it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the
scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back.
He asked the fellow what the problem was.

The man replied, “I have a flat tire.”

The passerby asked, “But what’s with the flowers?”

The man responded, “When you break down they tell you to put flares in
the
front and flares in the back! I never did understand it neither.”

Would a coyote come after me if…?

I was trying to save what it was trying to kill/eat?

A couple nights ago I woke up at like 3am because I heard growling outside and something that sounded like a little dog being attacked. It was one of the worst noises I have ever heard in my life and it sounded like the dog was struggling to get away. We live in a neighborhood thats about 2 years old but coyotes still come through. My neighbor called me because he heard it too so I looked out the window and saw the coyote but there was a corner so I couldn’t see what it was going to go after. i’m only 15 and he’s 17 so I took a bat with me because my dogs are too small and he was taking his great dane and lab but when I got out there absolutely nothing was there This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this but its the first time i’ve seen a coyote right outside.. If this happens next time and its attacking or about to attack an animal, would it be afraid of me.. or would it try to attack me?
also, would it go after my neighbors dogs?
i have 2 small dogs so there was no way i would have taken them outside with me but my neighbor has a great dane that is huge and he has a lab
theres no way i would let our dogs out at night even in the backyard where it is fenced. my neighbor doesn’t let his dogs out at night either even though the great dane was like twice the size of the coyote.
I don’t want to wake up the neighbors at 3 in the morning by banging pots and pans lol.. i did that on new years but everyone knows about the coyotes, fliers have gone around a countless number of times.

Do Coyotes ever make a laughing sound?

I live in SE Oklahoma, and lately I have heard an animal noise at night that is very close and is so creepy that it sends chills up my spine. The closest I can come to describing it is a cross between a hyena laughing and kind of a goat sound. The weirdest part is that this animal is unafraid, and will make this laugh as if in response to me calling my dogs.

How does your dog react?

This morning while I was taking my dog out to do her “business” we heard one of the local coyotes calling for its pack. Every time we hear the coyotes my dog looks up at me and sticks by my side a little bit more then normal. Sometimes I’ll sit on my porch just listening to the coyotes hunt or play and she’ll sit at my feet leaning up against my leg. She never barks at them or whines about it but she always makes sure she is close to me when she hears them.
How does your dog react to things like fireworks, a far away dog howl/bark, car honking or any other sounds that may not be a normal occurrence on a daily basis?
Greek, you are a good trainer and obviously have a talent with dogs that many people lack. I’ll admit that my dog will never be as disciplined as yours are but my dog doesn’t have the same jobs either. It took me a while but I did get her trained to not react negatively to fireworks. Now we’re working on her reaction to the coyotes.
To those worried I don’t know the dangers of coyotes: I’ve been living in this valley for 35 years and our human community coexists happily with our coyote community without any negative interaction.
BYB’s. Where I live it’s legal to set off fireworks any day you want. There aren’t even any noise ordinances because we don’t live in a highly populated area. I never said it was ok for my dog to be fearful, just that is how she reacts. Ditch the negativity and just answer the question…jeez.
And yes our community does coexist with the coyote community. The coyotes help keep the rodent and deer populations down so the farmers don’t have as much crop damage and such. I’m not sure what crawled up your ass “BYB” but take a freakin’ chill pill.

coyote ugly movie?

whats that thing called when violet is making music on the computer it goes from a high pitch sound to a low pitch sound thanks

What should my book be called?

My friend says I should call it S.O.H.E.C., but I’m wondering if atone can come up with anything else. Here’s the prologue: You know, we have a pretty good set up here. Unless of course we recall the fact that our parents had a place where they could dump their kids for most of their life and only have to pay $1000 for everything. That’s what happened to me. I barely remember my parents. They left me here when I was a very young child. But I’m not sad about it because I hardly knew them.
   Where we are is hard to explain to an outsider. It’s like a cross between boarding school and summer camp, except that we’re there for life. We have separate cabins for boys and girls, just like camp, where there are bunk beds and only four showers so we all have to stand and wait. Also, there’s a school, a Sports/Fitness building,a pool, a movie theater, and a few other things included to make our lives seem ”more like home”. There’s also a huge cafeteria right in the middle of “camp”, but judging by what I’ve seen on T.V.,  the food here is probably better than some summer camp or school cafeteria. Our “camp-school” is called S.O.H.E.C. which stands for School Of Highly Educated Children. We actually aren’t any more educated than the rest of the kids in this world, they only named it that so the place wouldn’t get shut down by people who feel children shouldn’t live like this. Well truthfully, were not exactly “children”, as this place is mostly filled with people age 12 and up. The reason this is so is because  parents felt their children were not cute anymore or they could not afford the time or money to raise them. It sounds sad but its actually kind of fun because there’s more kids here than adults and every kid at least once in their life has wished for that- a kids paradise!
   But we have something that most summer camps or boarding schools do not have. Our camp is split right down the middle! The “two” camps are exact replicates, sitting right next to each other. This is because we’re mortal enemies. The two sides of S.O.H.E.C. are called ¨The Rattlesnake Pack¨ and ¨The Coyote Pack¨. I’m in the Coyote Pack. The reason for our mutual hatred for each other is a long back story I don’t have time to get into, involving the two brothers who started this organization and their constant disagreements with each other. 
    Today is the first day our school goes back in session. We have just finished our summer break, which did not include leaving S.O.H.E.C., because we really have no place to go, nor are we allowed to leave. Today will be my first day of high school. I actually should have been in high school last year and so should have my friend Lauren, but they had to hold us back in preschool because we refused to color anything; and that included painting as well. Usually kids are shy or frightened on the first day  of high school, but I’m not. I grew up with all these people and I don’t have to worry about my friends going to a different school because there’s only one. Well, at least there’s only school on the Coyote side. There is one on the Rattlesnake side as well.
   So, likely any second now, the alarm clock will ring, someone will groan, someone will roll over and accidentally fall out of bed, and when I walk through the hallway to go brush my teeth, I’ll get my daily cheery greeting from Penny, the one who is always happy no matter what. Ah, S.O.H.E.C.

Straight girl needs answers from gay girls/guys: pls read my rambling:

Met this guy online, we carried on for 2 yrs over computer and phone. Fell in love, oppo. sides of country, but were supposed to meet and be together. Then he ditches me for a local girl, and chickens out on meeting me in person. Devastates me completely. I find out “he” is a “she” through her work & myspace. I loved him/her so much I tell her it doesn’t matter to me I love her anyway, every single gene/chromosome, I don’t care. She denies it but then realizes she’s caught so admits it but says she loves another. I cried and begged her to give us a chance to no avail. But she continues to call me cuz it “feels right”. She calls and plays songs that were ours, and then just to talk, says she loves me but yet tells me she has another. WTF. I let her pull this on me for 9 months now thinking I know she really loves me, she’s scared or something idk, keep waiting for her to just come back so we can get on with our lives, but still games. Finally I told her to F off, leave me alone I’m done. 2 months go by no word from her now shes calling me again. I haven’t answered her 50 plus calls. What do I do? I love her, miss her like crazy and I just want her but I’m afraid she’s going to say the same ole stuff. What’s wrong with her and why am I so in love with her after all this? What do I do? Does she think because I’m straight I won’t really love her? It got beyond that for me. I’d have her strap it on if she wants (excuse the frankness) but I would. Or does the whole gay issue not apply, it’s just an immature game of love for her (she is younger than me.) Any thoughts…I’m really hurting and can’t seem to figure this out.
The one question I’m really waiting for some answers on and Yahoo hasn’t even posted it yet – come on Yahoo…I’ve tried to delete all my special characters and type out the words…post this pls

I said “no” and she said: “wth! i would do that for you!!!!!!” So i LIED that i cant get on there cause my comp is being gay. And then i said: “are you calling me just cause you got banned ? Because you are on there EVERYDAY and u got almost no time for me. Next thing that happens is she says,”WHAT-EV-ER!” and hangs up the phone.

This isnt even our first fight about this game. and i am getting sick of it. and NO, i cant even talk to her about it because she gets pissed eassily. any advice ?

Are there any hunting seasons going on in February?

Preferably in NC.

Hunting Turkey out of season. What is the penalty?

I was recently caught hunting turkey out of season. I am a young hunter and when I saw the turkey I became overwhelmed with emotion and excitement. Further, the frustration from not bagging anything else didn’t help. So, I shot at a turkey but didn’t kill one. Anyways, the Warden found me and has given me a court date. What do you think the penalty will be? Will I lose my hunting license? I realize what I did was wrong, so am in no need of demeaning insults. Thanks.

By the way, I reside in NC.

Guns in Pisgah National Forest (NC)?

I am go hiking in the linville gorge which is in the national forest, and i was wondering what the laws are on carrying a firearm for personal protection… Its outside hunting season otherwise I would just carry my rifle since it is game land. Anybody know the exact laws for NC, a link to a reputable resource would be nice…

Can you hunt with pellets guns in North Carolina?

I am going hiking/camping in NC in april and we want to hunt small game to eat along the way with a pellet gun. Is this legal, and what are the regulations? Do you have to follow regular hunting seasons etc.

In NC do you need a hunting license to hunt on ur on land & do you still have to follow the season dates?

I live in Asheboro, NC

Snake venom?

This may sound like the dumbest question but is snake venom still toxic if you ingest it as opposed to if it’s injected into your bloodstream or tissue? Does your digestive system break down the proteins or whatever in it rending it harmless? I know that many predators eat venomous snakes. Do they eat the entire snake or do they instinctively know not to eat the head? I hope I’m putting this in the correct category where people who know these things like to hang out. Please don’t call me stupid because I already know that I am.

Could my story win a middle school level writing competition? (only read if you have enough TIME)?

The Middle part ONLY

They both hear Bethany’s muffled words on their phones. It sounded like she was trying to say “He has a gun”. Shaking, Brianna asked “Who are you and why are you doing this?”

In an extremely piercing and bloodcurdling voice, the stranger silently announced “Lets just say my name is Michael. Good bye……For now …Bonus stolidus puella…..”.

The voice sounded unusually familiar. She could not believe that Bethany’s predator was someone she thought she knew. Brianna rapidly dropped her phone and told Raymond to turn back to the penthouse. He turned the radio on and a slow depressing song played while Brianna sobbed and tried to hum along to the song throughout the ride home.

When Raymond finally escorted her back to the penthouse she ran into her room and laid on her bed not caring if her make-up got smeared or if her hair got frizzy. She didn’t even care about Nicole going out with a player that did marijuana. All she cared about now was whether one of her best friends was alive.

At Tuesday night, during dinner, her parents, Kenzie and Mark Yale, were acting unusual. They finally started talking after ten minutes of silence.

“Honey we have bad news” confessed her father, Mr. Mark Yale.

“Bethany’s parents, Avery and David were found dead in the Upper West Side yesterday, their bodies were in a dark alley, and recently Bethany’s neighbors called the police to tell them she was missing too” gasped her mother, Mrs. Kenzie Yale .

Brianna screamed and scared all of the pigeons off her balcony. She couldn’t believe that what happened on the phone three days ago was actually reality. The only missing piece in the puzzle now was Bethany’s missing dead body.

Four days later Brianna’s family and many other people including Nicole went to David and Avery Billett’s funeral. Nicole was so devastated that she dyed her usual wavy golden blonde hair to a dark shade of brunette and added five inches of extensions just because Bethany stated that the style would look exceptional on her two weeks ago. Also Nicole’s green eyes were now covered by dark brown color contacts. Brianna glared at Drew as he walked towards her. Quickly he stated “I know what you did two years ago.” and Brianna’s expression went blank as her went back to talk to Nicole.

Out of the blue the funeral director began speaking to the crowds of people in the gigantic courtyard.

“Dearly beloved and departed we are gathered today in the sight of god to give our last words to Mrs. Avery Billett and Mr. David Billett…..” moaned the old funeral director.

Brianna didn’t bother to listen anymore. She didn’t even want to hear Nicole and her mother’s speeches about Mrs. Avery Billett. Afterwards the Billett family will was read at the funeral reception. It stated that if Bethany was not available to take the family’s enormous wealth and become CEO of their 5-star hotel chains, then Bethany’s closest living relative would get the wealth and the hotel chain. Brianna was in fury. She couldn’t believe that Peter, Bethany’s callow cousin was going to get the enormous amount of the Billett’s money and their hotel chain. Suddenly Peter started talking about his responsibilities and she briskly recognized his voice. It was the voice on the phone.

“PETER WAS DAVID AND AVERY’S MURDERER!” shrieked Brianna.

Everyone stared at her as if she were moronic. Then Brianna felt unconscious and fainted. Five hours later she woke up in a hospital bed and saw Drew trying to play “Oops I Did It Again” by Britney Spears on Mr. Billett’s cherished guitar.

“David wanted you to have his favorite guitar? What a big mistake.” stated Brianna in pure hatred.

Drew just replied “Yeah it was on the will….” he paused “Two years ago….In California” he paused again and whispered “Was it a boy or a girl?”

Frozen in the moment Brianna went blank again. She quietly mumbled “Her name’s Jessica. I think she’s two years old and seven months now. And she’s living with Allison”.

“Thanks for ruining nine months of my life” shouted Brianna.

She ran out of the hospital room and dialed for Raymond.

“Raymond! I know its late, but can you drive me to Nicole’s house right now?” questioned Brianna.

Raymond was tired but he still managed to utter “Yes Miss Yale”.

When Raymond finally stopped at Nicole’s penthouse she said “Thanks! Good night Raymond” for the first time.

Nicole’s doorman, Tibi let her in and then she started crying. “Nicole. There are so many things I haven’t told you before….I’m sorry” sympathized Brianna.

Both of them hugged each other and Nicole forgave Brianna for insulting Drew. They both fell asleep on Nicole’s bedroom floor while thinking about all the complications currently in their lives.

How do crazy ants prey upon huge columns of army ants?

I saw, in a TV documentary, a story about African army ants (maybe Siafu) going on one of their routine feeding marches, millions of ants terrifying, chasing and eating everything they can get their hands on. I was fascinated,however, by the presence of something called Crazy Ants which, incredibly, are predators of the army ants. It seems these strange ants wait along the sides of the army ants march, ready to somehow pick off, kill and eat those who wander from the safety of the column. But I can’t remember how exactly they manage to do this. Do they lure the army ants off course with a scent or sound, and then ambush them? And what is so crazy about these ants that got them the nickname? How are they able to kill such ferocious prey, by poison, a trap or are they simply stronger and more ferocious?

Coyotes, and Predator Calls?

What sounds work best for calling in coyotes? there a lot of rabbits and squirells here, I need someone who has been coyote hunting for while to help me out! I got an electronic prarie blaster pred call for christmas, what sound woud work best

How do I know if he’s a predator and someone safe to meet?

So I met this guy on i sketch a long time ago, about 5 months maybe. But we didn’t really get seriously talking until 4 months ago. He’s 17 and lives in the Florida area and I’m 16 and live in Michigan. We don’t talk every day, mostly every week though. He’s sweet, nice, a complete gentleman. I’ve seen 3 pictures of him, but I’ve never video chatted with him yet. We’ve already started talking about meeting this upcoming summer. I asked what he would want to do if we met, and he said he would want to get to know me better and just be with each other. He hasn’t made a sexual move on me ever, and he said that he wouldn’t want to have sex with me the first time we meet, once he got to know me better and met me a few more times. But I’ve been having doubts about him being real. Sometimes the way he talks, the way he sounds in email messaging, he’s respectful and mature. It seems weird since he’s 17, there’s almost no guy like at 17 anymore. It’s also kinda strange that he sometimes calls me sweetie? And he only has girls as friends on his email. They don’t look like sluts or anything but it’s weird that he would only have girls and no guy friends on his email. He’s just different from the other guys I’ve met in a good way most of the time. I need to know what i can do to make sure he’s not a predator or anything like that before I meet him. And if we ever get that far, the time when we will eventually meet. Please help! thank you

Im looking for a place to coyote hunt on private ground in Colorado?

Me and a friend are going to be heading to Colorado in two weeks. We both really enjoy coyote hunting, but in my area alot of people run dogs and the coyotes are scared of everything. We both respect the outdoors and have many years of hunting experience and would be more than happy to cure any coyote problems that anyone may have. (or give it my best shot anyway).

What can I do to help?

I was watching MSNBC (I think) the one with Chris Hansen, he does “To Catch a Predator“.

Anyway, It was a documentary called, “Children For Sale“. It was the saddest thing I think I’ve ever seen. It was about children in Cambodia as young as 5 years old being sold for sex to tourists and Natives. I mean dozens of different brothels with dozens of really YOUNG children being sold for sex. It was unbelievable, I can not even wrap my brain around it! I can not believe there is a market somewhere for that and there is barley any attempt made to protect these children. I am F***ing furious, I don’t think I have cried so hard or so long in forever. I haven’t seen anything like that and I seriously feel like my heart is broken. I feel an overwhelming need to do something, somehow. The thing is, I don’t know how to start. I don’t know what I could do. Does anyone have any ideas???
Is there a way to change the section? Y!A auto picked the section for me, I guess.
Also, thank you for your answers so far. They really help.

Child sex slaves??????

I just posted this question, but it was in the wrong section and I didn’t know how to change it.

Thank you to those who are taking my question seriously! I know that I can not save the world, I know there are other things going on in the world that are just as horrific if not more so. I know I get really worked up over these things and I know I can only make a small ping, but I would have to say it is better than being cold and heartless all together and just giving up on humanity.

The Lighter Side of Hockey?

After a news conference to announce the sale of the Nashville Predators was postponed: “For some unknown reason, the businessmen buying the team were unable to contact each other on their Blackberries.”

Today’s trivia: The Denver Post pointed out this week that Avalanche forward Paul Stastny reached the100-point mark in his 99th career NHL game. Stastny’s father, Peter, reached the century mark in 73 games, while his uncles, Marian and Anton, needed 82 and 95 games respectively. If the Stastnys were to put together a family band, I wonder if they would call it Peter, Paul and Marian.

Part two, murder poems, c/c?

If you haven’t read the first, then this wont be very clear to you, so i’d suggest you do that.

Colder than marble flooring he’s sleeping on
discovered before the rich guests had gone.
Signal for bloody tragedy, a bellowed swear
suspicions began to surface from the despair.

Authorities called into the extravagant estate
to observe a man who prematurely met his fate.
Lantern light unveiled the neck, brutally slashed.
Clumsy knife work equalled the body, gashed.

As the cadaver was taken away by the medical van
gossip spread like the plague, who killed the man?
Every ones mind was whirring, drowning in doubt
except for the silken clad woman, on her way out.

The guests had described a guest who’d left before
the shroud like waistcoat ensured seeing no more.
Largely ignored, the assassin had become a backdrop,
before fleeing the scene, having to time to stop.

The next day newspaper sales shot to the sky
with the unknowing people wondering “why”.
Only two people held the secret, locked away,
disappeared, before predator became prey.
Iano for the first time you’ve actually made me laugh, congratulations! I’m sure that wasn’t your ulterior motive though was it?

Nancy, Dallas, thank you, I didn’t want it to move in the direction that it was like watching someone play the game of cluedo!
Thanks everyone, NANCY YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I JUST COKED ON MY APPLE JUICE AT YOUR AVATAR.

Tee hee, i’m quite enjoying writing these.
Oooh I meant chocked there sorry

Need some expert RES advice – When a ‘couple’ of turtles turns out to be 4, and nothing you were told is true?

I admit it- I’m a sucker…
A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend was re-homing a ‘couple’ of RES, and idiot that I am, I agreed to take them- BUT ONLY they were acclimated to an outdoor pond. I was assured me that this would be fine, but (here’s a shocker) umm, not so much. Here’s what I ended up with:

1. a “couple of turtles” turned out to be 4: 3 females (about 6″ shell) & 1 male (4″).
2. The assumption they’d be fine outside was apparently based on wishful thinking and a burning desire to dump these guys on someone else.
3. They refuse to eat turtle pellets or vegetation (I’ve tried romaine, zuchini, squash and dandilion green ) but they will eat worms. Getting some feeder fish today…
4. Did I mention they were ‘re-homed’ 3 months ago? At a garage sale.
5. They showed up at my work in a cardboard box with an almost empty can of turtle food. Nothing else. Not even names.

So now what? I need both a short term and a long term solution- payday isn’t for another week, so WHATEVER I do, it can’t cost more than $100 today.

So the big question:
WITHOUT risking their health- does anyone have any ideas how to house them in the existing outdoor pond? They are TOTALLY unprepared to hibernate- in fact, I doubt they’ve ever been outside. I can’t imagine trying to heat the pond for them over the winter- even if I could afford the electricity (which I doubt), I don’t know if it’s possible- it’s about 10′ in diameter, bowl-shaped, poured concrete, about 2 1/2 foot deep at its lowest point. I live in the Seattle area, so temps will dip to the mid 30′s at night for the next 6 months. We probably won’t see the sun again until May, so basking will also be an issue. The filter system is built in; a basic re-circulating pump with a filter at the top of the waterfall and at the base of the pump so it can’t be removed. Unless someone can think of something I haven’t, I think they need to be indoors for the winter.

Which brings me to my next problem.
I have NOTHING to house them indoors, and my Craigslist search for anything that could possibly work was unsuccessful. At best, I have a kiddie pool (it’s shaped like a turtle, so that’s something….) but these guys should have a minimum of 240+ gallons of water, plus basking areas. I have a big house, so room isn’t a problem, but I don’t even have a heater or a filtration system…

Somebody has to have an idea. These guys aren’t going anywhere- they’re here and they’re staying. By next spring they’ll be in turtle heaven with a pond, grass, basking ledges, sand to lay eggs and 2 watchful beagles to protect them from predators, but it’s not spring now.

I’ve thought of stock tanks, old bathtubs, rubbermaid containers- nothing seems like it will have enough room, and I couldn’t find any of them, anyway. And a filtration system for that many turtles (and that much water) is out of my budget for at LEAST another 3 weeks. Do I use the pool and change the water daily? Sacrifice swimming room for clean water? It’s probably only 10″ deep filled to the top, but I can build basking areas around the pool and “fence” it in.

OK, fire away. But please- don’t tell me to call the humane society or to find them another ‘suitable’ home- I counted 25 turtles AND tanks on Craigslist today- most of them free. These 4 are staying right here. Just need some help making sure they’re OK
Thanks
Ok, regarding the suggestion of ‘release’… They’re not a native species. RES are considered a invasive species here, due 100% because of this very thing. Eastern and Western pond turtles are native- the closest natural occurring population of RES to Seattle is Kansas. Releasing an animal into a habitat that it DOESN’T belong in creates a multitude of problems: if they ARE able to adapt, there is added compitition put on the native species for resources, which ultimately results in their extermination by USFW. Most likely, however, they are unable to find needed resources or adapt to the environment and slowly starve to death. PLEASE, I beg you, NEVER suggest this. If you FIND an animal, leave it where it is, but if it has been bred in captivity or has been acclimated to humans- release spells death. Period. I hope I haven’t offended anyone, but I work at a wildlife rehabilatation Center, plus I have a degree in conservation education, so I promise you- this is the reality. Ot

How do i use a bow? Im going to start bow hunting and do not know tricks, tips, i need advice?

I am going to start bow hunting this season, and i have no clue what im doing with a bow.

I know nothing of hunting but want to learn. What’s a good way to start?

My dad never really took me out to do anything as a kid, and now that I’m married I would love to get into an outdoor hobby, and hunting would be great because I love the woods, camping, and venison. I have no experience firing a rifle or bow (I believe mainly bow hunting is allowed in the state of NJ where I live, but I could be wrong). If there are any books or videos someone could recommend I would appreciate it.

Hunting with Matthew’s Compound Bow (65 lbs bow pull)?

I got some good experience with bows, but this is my first time hunting with it. So is the 65 pound bow pull a 1 hit kill? I saw a video of Brock lesnar hunting white bulks with his matthews bow, he got 2 shots, but the first shot I think was in the legs.

We are in the car right now, using my iphone, waiting for my other friends, they got lost in the traffic.

questions on deer hunting?

I’ve used riffles and hand guns most my life, but never used them to hunt so I have no idea.

I’m interested in hunting deer, A bow looks like it would be the most fun to learn and develop skills plus it seems the most challenging to get the deer. What I’m wondering is, will an arrow take down a deer fairly quickly, follow up with a 9mm the the head?
I’ve watched a ton of hunting video’s and it seems the deer don’t die right away. I don’t see hunters that attempt head shots, why is this? If you shot a deer in the heart or lungs do hunters finish it off with a follow up shot.
I dislike it when they are injured and kicking around.
ahahahahahhahhahhahahhahha !!!!!!! I just got out of the military! How you think I have all that
experience with weapons. Only a ignorant, inexperienced tards like you make ridiculous statements like that. Oh you care about the innocent animals, well you have better dawn well be a vegetarian to make that statement. If you eat meat your worse than a hunter as a hunter can appreciate what he kills, not just pickup piece of meat at the super market, and not even think about the cow that was killed for your life.
