Skinner Hunting
If the Australian outback is full of Rabbits and Camels, why not donate the meat to relief measures in Haiti?
I learned long ago Australia has a problem with non native invasive species crowding out the animals that actually belong there. Why not hire hunters and skinners and refrigerator trucks around rthe clock to go out and hunt them, and then ship the meat to poor countries, as a donation to the poor. Round up the camels and sell them back to the Arabs for a profit. Why all the waste in one country and then not enough in the other? It's the same world we live in.
The whole point is to take care of two problems at once, and solve them from the root.
it's cheaper and easier to donate money

Leatherman is always good... I have a fixed blade buck I love.. very durable not too heavy... K Bar used to be one of the best but theyre just ordinary knives now unless you can find an old one online... for the price Schrade blades keep their edge and are easy to sharpen,,, Id stay away from Gerber Ive had bad experience with them... they are brittle and break... I saw a Glock knife I liked today... that would b a nice one...

Sports Hunting
If you ask a guy why they deer hunt chances are you will get different answers. Some will answer that they hunt for sport and others will say they hunt for the food. You may get other answers but those are the two main answers that is going to be discussed. Some hunters hunt with a bow and others hunt with a shotgun. Either way the results are the same, meat on the table.
When deer hunting for sport a hunters goal is to try to get the buck with the biggest rack. Most that hunt for sport will tell you that the pure enjoyment of being in the outdoors is a thrill. Even if the goal is hunting for sport, those hunters bring home a lot of meat for their family table. When a hunter gets a nice looking rack a lot of times the hunter will take it to a taxidermist and get it mounted for his home wall. Some hunters even have their own trophy room.
Hunting for the reason of providing food for the family table may seem caveman but a lot of hunters do it. Hunting is not just for men. A lot of women do it too. Whomever is providing the meat for the table can find the taste of venison as a delicious meal. Venison is much like beef, except with a more wild taste. There is thousands of venison recipes. One big difference between beef and venison is that venison is not corn fed and has much less fat on it.
So regardless of why a hunter hunts the result is good meat on the table, a cheaper way to fill the freezer, and a less populated forest. Hunting seasons differ depending where you live. It's worth checking into and seeing what you need to do to be the next big deer hunter.

Hunting Survival
What items should be in a hunters survival kit? Serious woodsman or woodswomen only?
I ask only because I keep maintain and use my survival kit on a regular basis. The most dangerous hunts I do are hound hunts where I wait for fresh snow and head for the highest altitude I can drive to then hike in on foot. Also these hunts are done at night. I have spent many nights in the cold looking for my hounds and making my way back to my truck. Anyways I recently looked online for a list of items and could not find anyone who had a good list. The reason I say this is either they have way to much to carry, or not enough to survive, and lastly not one single kit contained toilet paper. Not one! I don't go in the woods with out TP. I call it mountain money. All kidding aside though, what is in your backpack and what activity do you participate in that requires you to have such a kit? Can you carry your bag comfortably over miles of rough country with no roads or trails? I have found that my pack has evolved over the years and varies slightly from season to season. Oregon hunter
Good Question -- as with lots of outdoor stuff, this all becomes personal preference and needs.
I hunt in Virginia (not too far from humans EVER), and in Colorado where you can still get pretty remote. Also, I am a physician and prior military survival instructor, so my kit is probably weighted (literally and figuratively) differently than others might be.
As you often hear, the first tool of survival is your brains -- starting there, everything else is pretty much optional.
In Mine:
Water or way to purify water. I carry iodine tablets
Waterproof matches
Signal mirror
whistle
Toilet paper - in a zip-lock bag
space blanket
a fairly advanced medical kit (this is more for if I come across someone needing help)
several pairs of pocket hand/toe warmers -- the chemical kind that just start to get warm when you take them out of the pack
about 20 feet of 550 army parachute cord
Other things not in kit but they always go with me:
food - snacks and usually a denty moore beef stew with a pop-off lid.
GPS with extra batteries -- don't forget to mark the trailhead before you start of into the backcountry
cell phone (often I am where there is no signal, but sometimes hilltops can get a weak signal)
LED head lamp
Knife - I carry 2. One large (Buckmaster -- the knife I got for survival school in 1986 and it is still a great tool) one small (a Gerber multitool - knife, pliers, saw, etc.).
I almost always carry a firearm of some kind -- even when I'm just hiking
some type of waterproof outer shell
hat
A great reference is FM 21-76. It is the military Survival manual. Not something you can pack when you're on foot, but it's a great reference and kind of fun to read. It has improved a lot since my first copy. I teach my son a few things out of the manual each time we go camping. He thinks we're just doing cool "outdoor" things.
Good first aid kits that are light and complete for the non-medical person are Adventure Medical Kits -- google them -- many variations to fit your needs.
