What should be in a hunter’s backpack?

One of the most important pieces of equipment for hunters is a well-packed backpack or shoulder bag. Loaded with a few select essentials, it should be taken every time you go scouting or hunting. Be sure to choose a pack that is comfortable, weatherproof, and noiseless (doesn’t make swooshing sounds as you walk). Waterproof camouflage fabric is preferable but not essential.

The extras you pack may depend on the distance you have to cover between your vehicle and your camp, but some articles should always stay in the pack. Here is a basic list of the items to be included: • - • - • - • - • - • - • - • - • - • - • - • - • - • -

a multi-purpose tool with a blade and small saw; a survival blanket; a reliable source of fire; a whistle; a compass with a map of the area; a GPS with spare batteries; a flashlight; a small survival kit (sold in big box stores, the size of a tin of sardines); a small first-aid kit; rope; brass wire (for building a shelter or a snare); an orange trash bag; a water bottle; trail marking tape.

If the weather is cold, bring along a small thermos with a hot drink, and don’t forget a few energy bars or a snack. This pack should be with you every time you step out into the bush. Think of it not as your suitcase, but as your survival kit; you should always have with you the basics you’d need to stay warm and protected if you ever lost your way or got injured and couldn’t walk out.

Every time you go hunting, tell someone where you are going and when you plan to be back. Ensure that you contact this person in case of delay, either by cell or satellite phone or with A good hunter always carries the new satellite messenger technology, called “SPOT”. It is also a backpack that contains a recommended that hunters complete a first aid and survival course few essential survival items. before venturing into the wilderness. Happy hunting!

Catch and release fishing is vital for the survival and sustainability of our favorite fish species.

In recent years, anglers have begun to think more carefully about the impact of their sport on the fauna and flora in and around bodies of water. After all, nature has to be respected in order for it to survive. Here are some things you should be thinking about during your summer fishing trips.

First of all, avoid high speeds when traveling in a boat near a shoreline. The waves created by your passage will flood some sections of the shore, endangering waterfowl nesting sites and fish spawning sites. Waves also contribute to shoreline erosion, which is something to be avoided. Consider switching to a four-stroke engine, which is more environmentally friendly. New high-performance, eco-friendly motor oils are now available on the market and should be taken advantage of. Of course, electric engines are ideal.

Catch and release fishing is a technique that more and more anglers are using in order to help maintain fish stocks. With this in mind, land your catch gently, handle it with care, and, if it isn’t too badly injured, return it to the water. Be very gentle when removing the hook from the fish’s mouth, taking your time in order to minimize any damage. Try to put the fish back in the water at the same spot you landed it, as some species have specific spawning zones and their offspring may be endangered a if you take the parent too far from home.

Happy fishing!

Sun exposure myths can be harmful

To many people, sunshine equates to happiness, including fun times outdoors and walks on the beach. Despite warnings about excessive exposure to the sun, many people cannot get enough of the sun’s potentially harmful rays.

While taking in the sun is beneficial, it poses many dangers as well. Separating fact from fiction is essential for sun worshippers who plan to spend ample time outdoors.

The Canadian Cancer Society says that every three minutes another Canadian receives a cancer diagnosis. Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers, accounting for nearly half of all cancers in the United States. More than 3.5 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year. According to the American Cancer Society, melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, will account for more than 76,600 cases of skin cancer in 2013.

Knowing the facts about sun exposure is essential to reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. Unfortunately, certain widely spread myths can make it difficult to differentiate between fact and fiction.

• Myth: Ineed to soak up the sun to get enough vitamin D. It’s true that the sun helps the body produce vitamin D, but you do not need to spend hours in the sun to fulfill your body’s need for vitamin D. Five to 10 minutes of sun exposure is adequate, and you can include vitamin D in your diet by consuming foods and beverages such as oily fish, fortified milk and orange juice. Dairy products, such as yogurt and cheese, also contain the vitamin D your body needs.

• Myth: I have dark skin, so I don’t need to wear sunscreen. The idea that more melanin the skin contains the more protected it will be from sun exposure is not necessarily a myth. Dark-skinned people typically do not burn as quickly as those with lighter skin. But many dermatologists agree that darker skin is not adequate protection against cancer and even premature wrinkling. According to Mona Gohara, M.D., an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine, a person with medium-brown skin has a natural SPF of around 13. However, it is adviseable to use SPF 30 for basic sun protection.

• Myth: I’m wearing enough sunscreen. Many people underestimate how much sunscreen is necessary to protect the skin. It is recommended to use at least 1 ounce of sunscreen on exposed areas of the skin for maximum protection. Read the label of the product. You may need to apply the sunscreen every two hours or more depending on your activity level and how much sunscreen is lost to sweating or swimming. You even need sunscreen on cloudy days or if you sit by a window while you work. Also, wait 30 minutes between application and heading out into the sun. Chemical sunscreens take that long to work.

• Myth: The skin on the legs and arms is not as delicate as the face. It’s safe to get a little tan in these areas. Skin is skin, and no one

area is less prone to sun damage and cancer risk than another. In fact, $ dermatologists say melanoma is most likely to form on the head and r trunk of men and arms and legs of women. African-Americans are at a higher risk for lentiginous melanoma, which develops on the palms and T the soles of feet.

• Myth: Sunscreens cause cancer. In 2001, a small study on n mice suggested oxybenzone, an ingredient that is commonly used in i sunscreens, produced free radicals that may contribute to melanoma.

However, the FDAhas approved the use of oxybenzone and there is no d definitive link between human use of the ingredient and melanoma. If you c are worried about chemicals, select a mineral-based sunscreen instead.

Despite what’s known about sun exposure and skin cancer, many t myths about exposure to the sun still prevail. Regardless of what you hear, it’s best to wear sunscreen every day and cover up to protect your skin. g

Hunters are required to complete a hunter survey for each deer elk, cougar, bear, pronghorn antelope and turkey tag they purchase.

Report online at www.reportmyhunt.com or www.dfw.state.or.us or call toll free 1-866-947-ODFW (6339) (do not call your local field office to report)

Hunters that fail to report on 2013 deer and elk tags by the deadlines will be penalized $25 when they go to purchase their next hunting license. (For 2013 tags, the deadline to report is in 2014, so hunters will pay the fee when they purchase their 2015 hunting license.

These go on sale Dec. 1, 2014.)

This penalty was put in place because after several years of “mandatory” reporting with no penalty, just 41 percent of tags were reported on time in 2011. The information provided is critical for setting tag numbers and seasons—information that’s become more and more difficult to get through traditional phone surveys because hunters have moved, screened their calls, or don’t provide phone numbers By completing the mandatory hunter report, you are providing key pieces of information that biologists will use in their game management actions. Your report supports the agency’s goal of optimizing recreational opportunities for all hunters.

Outdoor enthusiasts typically cannot wait to get outside and make the most of a beautiful day. But in their haste to enjoy the great outdoors, men and women can easily overlook safety precautions that protect them from potential hazards.

Though it’s easy to get excited about a sunny day, it’s important for outdoor enthusiasts to take safety seriously. No matter your activity, always bring adequate sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun, and remember to bring enough water to stay hydrated throughout the day. In addition to packing sunscreen and water, outdoor enthusiasts can employ various additional safety methods depending on which activity they choose to enjoy.

Cycling

Cyclists must always be on alert for those with whom they are sharing the road. While many motorists respect cyclists, there are some who see cyclists as a nuisance, and such motorists may drive recklessly around cyclists in an attempt to scare them off the road.

Cyclists are oftentimes at the mercy of motorists, so it pays to stay as attentive as possible.

Never listen to an MP3 player or another music player while riding a bike. Such a distraction could prove deadly if it takes your attention away from the road. Alertness is important when cycling, as are the following precautionary measures:

• Always wear a helmet and reflective clothing that makes it easy for motorists to see you.

• Obey the traffic laws.

• Always ride with traffic.

• Inspect your bicycle and address any mechanical issues before each ride.

Hiking

When the weather permits, few activities combine the benefits of physical activity with the aesthetic appeal of nature as well as hiking does. Hikers should never hike on poorly developed trails or trails that are too difficult for them to handle, and they should have at least a basic understanding of the symptoms of altitude sickness. Always share your route with friends or family members before embarking on a hiking trip. This protects you if you should get lost or injured and you need a rescue team to find you. Hikers should also pack the following supplies before hitting the trails:

• Compass

• Flashlight and extra batteries

• Whistle and signal mirror

• Map of the park that includes the trails you plan to hike

• Waterproof matches

• First aid kit

• Blanket

Inline skating and skateboarding

Inline skating and skateboarding are popular activities for adults and children alike. But even though you may associate such activities with your childhood, that does not mean the risk of injury is insignificant. In fact, even seasoned skateboarders and veteran inline skaters have suffered broken bones or head injuries while skateboarding or skating. Proper attire is essential for skaters and skateboarders hoping to prevent injury, so be sure to wear the following gear the next time you hit the half-pipe or go skating by the boardwalk:

• Helmet

• Knee pads

• Wrist guards

• Elbow pads Water sports

Water attracts the sun, so it’s imperative that anyone planning to spend ample time on or around the water take steps to protect their skin. Wear appropriate clothing and apply sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor of 15.

Never take to the water after you have consumed alcohol. Alcohol can dull your senses, making you less likely to recognize a dangerous situation should one present itself.

If you plan on entering the water, always enter feet first and do your best to avoid swimming alone. When you employ the buddy system while swimming, you are ensuring there is someone there to help you should you begin to struggle or to alert lifeguards or other safety personnel should something go awry.

If you to plan to fish on a boat, let your loved ones staying behind on land know where you plan to fish so they can share this information with authorities if your boat has problems or you don’t return on time. While on the boat, always wear a flotation device and make sure the boat is not running as you board and dismount.

The dos and don’ts of moose hunting • • • • •

Many moose hunters return home empty handed, not because there wasn’t any game in their territory but because they forgot to take care of a few details. Such things might not seem so important, but, when put into practice, they can improve chances for success on hunting trips.

Beading Supplies Leather • Furs Unique Gifts Sharpening Service Black Powder Supply

Scouting and preparing the territory The best time to scout a new territory is during the actual hunting season or immediately afterwards. Biologists have confirmed that these are the ideal moments to find obvious signs of game in order to confirm their presence. Keep your eyes open for noticeable traces of moose, including lays, rubs, or food sources, but don’t disturb the moose if they are in your sector. To facilitate your scouting, use a good scent eliminator to eradicate all your human odors, even if you’re not planning to hunt that day. Your scent is all over your body and clothing as well as your boots and equipment.

The day before the hunt Photo: Thinkstock Many hunters are so excited the day before the hunt opens that they forget some important things. If you want to check out your game camera, don’t visit the site in a convoy of ATVs. Go discreetly during the legal hunting period to avoid spooking the moose.

If you scare them during scouting, there’s little chance you’ll find them again in the area when you’re ready to hunt. Don’t forget to spray your game cameras with a scent eliminator every time you handle them.

Deer Three things to master

Gas • Groceries

As deer hunting season approaches, you’re likely beginning to feel the itch. This is a good time to review the secrets to a successful deer hunt. Sure, hunting’s not something you learn by the book, but better to brush up on theory than have to eat your pride with an empty freezer this fall. Taking care of details can make all the difference between returning home empty-handed or with pride written all over your face.

Scent A deer’s first line of defense is its sense of smell, so take every precaution to mask your own scents. A scent eliminator can be used on your clothes to remove Successful deer hunting requires careful any odors except for those present in the surrounding environment. Know how attention to detail. to take advantage of the wind by deciding which way it is blowing and where your game is travelling from before you set up your stand or blind. Pay careful attention to the lubricants that you use on your weapons.

Sound Deer have a very well developed sense of hearing, and any unusual noise can startle them before you have a chance to shoot. Be sure to minimize any abnormal sounds coming from your stand or blind that could give you away.

Wear a safety vest made of fabric rather than noisy vinyl or plastic.

Movement A deer does not use its vision as much at its sense of smell and hearing, but it is still a factor that should not be neglected. Even though deer cannot clearly discern colors, they can detect the smallest of movements. Always try and blend into the background in your blind; the secret is to avoid any contrasts. Avoid sudden movements when walking the terrain, and move along the flank of a hillside in order to use the background as camouflage.

Trout in Foil 2-3 Trout 1 tsp butter, softened 1 tsp lemon juice 1/4 tsp garlic 1/2 tsp dried parsley Salt and pepper to taste 1 onion, thinly sliced 1 tomato, thinly sliced 1/4 green pepper, thinly sliced 1/2 C white wine

Bring In Your De-Boned Wild Game For Processing We Make the Following:

• Ground Meat • Kielbasa • Snack Sticks

Preheat barbecue to medium, or oven to 350oF. Place the fish on a piece of aluminum foil, folding into a rectangular boat to keep the fluids from dripping out. Smear the fish cavity with butter, then sprinkle inside and out with lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Lay the slices of onion, tomatoes, and green pepper on top, and pour the wine around the fish.

Seal the aluminum foil, leaving a little bit of space at the top for the steam to escape. Place the fish on the grill or in the oven. Cook 10 minutes for each 1 inch of thickness. Watch carefully. The fish is done when the meat pulls easily from the bone with a fork, and it is opaque.

Nature beckons adventurers across the globe. Recreational and ardent hikers venture into the landscape to get a glimpse of the wonders of the great outdoors. Veteran hikers are often careful to watch out for and protect natural resources, while novice hikers may not be aware of that responsibility. Hiking responsibly includes being mindful of natural habitats and what you bring in or take away from parks, forests and other natural areas. m

w

Carry in/carry out t

Part of protecting nature involves carrying out what you carry in. What you bring with you o in your backpack should not be left behind. Some parks and wildlife centers do not have trash c receptacles, so it is up to you as the hiker to carry trash out of your surroundings and properly H dispose of it. Children who may not understand litter and its impact on habitats can be taught p lessons about picking up trash and taking items with them out of the park when hiking.

Even though foods like fruit rinds or seeds can be biodegradable, it is still important to b take your food with you when you leave the park. If you don’t, you may inadvertently intro- t duce a foreign species of plant to a habitat that can overtake indigenous plants. Also, animals d should not be allowed to eat human food; otherwise they may become used to it and not fi forage for their own food. Animals also may become brazen, approaching people for an easy t meal. a

Stay on trails y

It can be tempting to be a trailblazer and head out into the middle of the wilderness. This b can be dangerous and potentially harmful to wildlife. Going off the trails means you will have e to rely on your ability to navigate to find your way in and out of your hiking location. Those e who are unsure of navigation and using a compass may find themselves lost. Park rangers or t emergency personnel may have trouble locating individuals who have ventured off the trails.

When hikers veer off of the established trails they are treading on untouched parts of the a landscape, where they can damage delicate foliage or stomp on nesting sites of some ani- r mals. If you are off of the trail, you may be more likely to come across animals, which could frighten them and cause unpredictable behavior. t

Keep dogs on leashes so they will not venture off and get lost or injured. Dogs may dig y holes or chase animals, disrupting the surroundings.

Don’t remove or introduce wildlife

Picking flowers may seem harmless, but hikers should be careful to leave their surroundings untouched as much as possible. Your goal when exploring the wilderness is to observe and not disturb. That means leaving plants and animals alone.

In addition, do not introduce foreign animals to a landscape. Some people release lizards or fish that were once pets into ponds and rivers rather than trying to find homes for these creatures. There are many areas of the country that have become overrun by animals that are not native to these habitats. For example, invasive species have been taking over areas of the Florida Everglades for years. According to the National Parks Service, the Burmese Python is rapidly becoming a poster child for nonnative species in the Everglades, along with the Tokay Gecko and the Bufo Toad.

Be cautious with campfires

If you will be hiking and camping, be sure to take precautions. Always check to see the wildfire risk rating, which is often posted at the park entrance, before establishing your campsite. If the risk is high, you may want to forgo a campfire or be especially cautious when containing the fire. All it takes is one errant spark to ignite dry timber and brush. Contain a campfire with a ring of rocks. Feed the fire with only enough wood to keep it at a moderate size and do not use any accelerants to make a bigger blaze.

When you are done with your campfire, be sure to extinguish it completely and double-check that all ash and cinder are completely cool before moving on from the campsite.

Hikers should be cautious on trails to avoid disturbing the landscape.

Be courteous of others

Many parks and hiking trails are quiet sanctuaries for people and wildlife. Keep this in mind when hiking. Do not play loud music or be disruptive in any way. Disruptive or inconsiderate behavior can spoil the experience for others enjoying the outdoors and frighten animals in the area.

Hiking and enjoying nature is a popular pastime. Keeping the landscape pristine and protecting plants and animals should be a goal of all hikers.

An adversary not to be underestimated

Every angler probably has a fond memory of an unforgettable battle with a big prize. There’s no question, this aspect of fishing has its fair share of high emotion! Unfortunately, many can also recall some bitter setbacks.

Here are a few tips that will help you perfect your skill in landing a fish.

Staying alert while battling your catch can First of all, when striking a fish, make the difference between an unforgettable be sure that the brake on your reel is memory and a bitter disappointment. tight enough so that you can strike decisively. Once the fish is well hooked, evaluate its size from the strength behind its first few shakes of the head on the line. If it happens to be a large specimen, reduce the tension of your braking system slightly, as you want to be sure that the fish can actually give battle and make a run for it if that is what it wants to do.

Now you’re entering the height of a contest that can last several minutes. When your catch approaches you and seems to be tiring, you can gradually tighten your brake to help you land your prize. However, be very careful, as fish always have energy reserves. When your fish sees you or the fishing net, it will make a last ditch effort to escape. Keep your hand close to your brake so that a sudden buildup of tension combined with a shake of the head doesn’t cause your line to break.

Before landing the fish or netting it, be sure to reduce the tension on your line as a preventive measure, so that any sudden movement by you or the fish does not result in all your hard work coming to nothing.

These few tips should help you visualize your next big battle. Just remember that the idea is to keep control without ever taking the fish for granted. Don’t forget that your prize is fighting for its life!
