I have been hunting for 15 years or so, mostly big game and I am not a trophy hunter. I hunt for meat to supplement the grocery store food I buy. I have been eating wild game, deer, antelope, and hog exclusively for the last 7 months while I am away from my family going to school. My younger brother and I are not bird hunters and have always been wondering how to field dress a bird, whether it be duck, turkey, even chicken. This first video is very good for someone with absolutely no hunting skills as it pertains to almost any wild game and how you would hunt it.

I believe your videos on hunting is something must ever body needs to know. Hard times are upon us and knowing how to track and kill for food is a need skill. Until your video I never knew you could track waterfowl. Keep up the good work.

Hello Erich,

I think you are on target with this idea. A string of video’s on hunting, fishing, and other ways to capture and prepare wild game to harvest for food is wise. Ultimately, we all need to eat and as you noted, even if we have been diligent in our efforts to prepare with food stores circumstances change and it is not unforeseeable that these skills will be just as vital to one’s survival as first aid and wound care.

A complimentary series gardening and preparing food for storage. i.e. dehydrating, canning, vacuum sealing, might be nice too.

I look forward to seeing the next video on field dressing animals. You do a real nice job with your web site and reviews. Keep up the great work you’re doing!

Remain safe out there…

As all of the seasoned/life long hunters know,,,IS,, out there are going to be people who have never hunted or used a firearm..and the fact that will hunt around the areas they know and shoot at anything that moves,,that said,,,always remember SAFETY 1st.,,keep your hunting area to your self,,do not brag your game taken,,~~~~TO Tai;; I’m from the South and got my BB gun at age 5,,a 22 at 6,,just like all the other guy’s from my area,,there are a lot of good book’s and hunting TV show’s out there,,BUT the best way is to start camping,,find a GOOD firearms instructor,,check with your state park rangers or game warden about hunter education classes,,down here they are offered every year,,I don’t about your state..DO NOT but cheap firearm’s,,get name brands,,a good 30-30 will work great on deer size game,,a good 22 or a shotgun for small game,,,

I can relate to everything you are trying to inform the public about, being a prepper myself. Most all my experiences started when I was about 8 yrs. old, I came from a very bad back ground. I’ve been on my own since about 8, it was either learn the ways of the wild or become a ward of the state. I chose to learn the wild and avoid all of the legal contacts, ( so to speak ). Over my 56 yrs of life I’ve managed to learn quite a bit about the whens, wheres, & how to’s of what most animals will do or respond to when the human factor comes into play. I come from Louisiana, and believe you me life in the swamp is not easy. It did prepare me for when I joined the army, while most people where hungry I never went without. All animals are basically the same no matter what part of the world you are in.
Most people are unwilling to eat some animals because they don’t know what they or it is. If and when you decide to shut your mouth and open your eyes & ears you can learn a lot about your surroundings. I use techniques that have been around for generations, both white man & the American Indian. If you think about it, How did the Indians survive for so long before the white man came ? They had to have ways to hunt for a whole village and then preserve it for a very long time. Some books are okay, but to really learn ask the people who have done it. As the old saying goes , You need to walk that mile in their footsteps to really learn. Not to say where my site is, more than half my fall out shelter is under ground. Kinda like a hobbit home, the rest is covered with sod and grass. My actual bunker and root-cellar are 22′ under the surface, special ways in & out. The temp inside never gets above 48 in my root-cellar. It has a clay back ground with a rubber coating 12″ sq.timbers x 24′ L x 16′ H timber construction to seal out all moister. No light reaches any of my food storage. Most of my large pieces of meat are salt cured and others dried then vacuum sealed, I’ve had canned items in there for more than 7 yrs. I constantly rotate from old to new, when I’m staying there. All things are done by hunting or fishing. But in this ” Me first world ” ,it’s hard to get most people to understand this way of life especially the newer techno generation.
This is just part of one old gessers way to make it for little while longer when SHTF. The one thing that most folks forget is that if the Good Lord wants you, you can’t hide. No matter where your staying. If it’s just man and bad environment – well good luck to them. Well that’s enough ranting, I just hope more people will learn to listen to the older folks, we’re not as crazy as they might think. God Bless you and yours — Keep up the good work.

Hey,
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed the video and coming from Minnesota I have enjoyed hunting as a child. I enjoyed the tip about the waves for the ducks in the video. Keep them coming.

This is what I needed to be more selfreliant, thank you for uploading the video and I’ll keep on watching them.

Been hunting for years. Still I can never ever get enough of other peoples information and knowledge. Looking forward to future videos. Thank you and keep them coming. Getting excited about it

How do you overcome the aversion to killing anything?
