-Hunting
an opossum involves finding him on a low branch or in a bush; it's easy to shake him out or climb up and throw him down. When an opossum plays dead it is a function of this stupid animal's low-geared nervous system - the possum is overwhelmed by excitement and faints. Then he's usually dispatched by the dogs or the hunter wielding a club. Its a leisurely sport, but in the rural South, many men enjoy an evening out with a dog or two.-Hunters sometimes used female deer scent made from the glands to attract buck deer, and concentrated deer scent is available in bottled form today.
-Trail-watchers sometimes call deer by rubbing and rattling two old antlers together. Often, a buck will rush up to get in on the battle, perhaps hoping that there is a ready doe nearby. In some states, this form of calling is forbidden by law because it is too effective when the bucks are in a rutting frenzy.
-Let out a series of yells that sound like a cross between an eagle's screaming and the weird yowls of a bobcat. This will terrify a hare so much that it simply cannot run away. It can then be killed easily, with a stick or a blow from the edge of the hand on the back of the neck.
-Gently touch the captured animal's eye with the muzzle of your gun. Even an unconscious animal will blink if it is still alive. If the animal does blink, put another bullet into it or use another broadhead.
Wisconsin childhood memories of friendly men clad all in orange, and the familiar sight of gutted deer carcasses hanging from every barn corner have suddenly lost their cozy, sepia-toned tinge.
eewie, icky, sad.
