Duck Hunting Secrets

If only duck hunting were as simple as going out to a local slough and calling "here ducky, ducky, ducky"! Unfortunately, there is much more involved than that when it comes to bring our feathered friends close to our shotgun barrels. This article is meant to steer through the many options out there for being successful at duck hunting. In an attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff, here are the secrets that will ensure a duck hunting success next time you are in the blind.

Scouting

Due to the time consuming nature of scouting it is often the thing that gets put aside first, but given the way that the environment a duck lives in is ever changing it really is a necessity. Simply put, a duck needs three things to survive and prosper: food, shelter and a place to rest. If you find a spot that has all three of these you are in for some great shooting! Often it is a bit harder than that, but the key is to remember that we must always keep these three things in mind while scouting. Due to the fact that hunting inherently removes a place from being a great resting spot for ducks (would you consider a place that you get shot at a restful place?), focusing on food source for ducks is the key here. Find duck butts and coot and you will find ducks is an age old adage that is spot on.

Concealment

Once you have found that perfect out of the way spot that is loaded with duck food the key becomes hiding near it so as to get high quality shots. As an duck hunter can attest, ducks have keen eye sight that can bust a hunter in a split second if not properly hidden. Remember to always attempt to use the natural surrounding vegetation in your duck blind as this is the best way to appear a natural part of the landscape. If you can't completely hide yourself, remember that movement is often the key thing that ducks notice on the wing. Another great tip to conceal yourself is to use whatever shadows are provided by the surrounding habitat. There are nature's great camouflage and work great to keep the prying eyes of overhead ducks at bay.

Using these two duck hunting secrets is guaranteed to put more ducks in your bag next time you are out. It may take a bit more effort, but that effort is what separates the great duck hunters from the hunters that simply shoot ducks here and there. If you can perfect your scouting and concealment techniques you will become the envy of your fellow hunters and that will translate into more success in the field.

Turkey Season - 5 Handy Tips For Fall Turkey Hunting!

Hunting turkey in the fall can be one of the most rewarding times to hunt. With cooler temperatures to make walking comfortable, and a beautiful pallet of browns, golds, and yellows, fall is often a hunter's favorite time of year to spend some time outside. Many hunters like to try to bring home a fresh gobbler for the holiday season, but for the sake of safety, the best judgment needs to be maintained. There are some special safety tips specific to hunting turkey in the fall that every hunter should follow. A hunter must be sure that what is heard and seen is also identified. Many hunters have mastered the turkey call, so a hunter needs to be positive that what he's seeing is really gobbler. Some other tips to keep in mind:

- Dress the Part. Fall turkey hunting requires a slightly different pallet of camouflage colors than what spring season requires. Mimic your surroundings; look for camouflage in browns, yellows and golds. Be sure to avoid white, red, and blue though, as those are the colors associated with turkey. Being safe in the woods also includes protecting yourself from other careless hunters.

- Camouflage Everything. Many hunters often forget that everything they have on their person needs to be camouflaged. Not just clothing, but weapons too. Also try to think outside the box; even a bright flash of sock or undergarment can be bad news when an watchful bird sees it.

- Scatter with Caution. If you're lucky enough to get close enough to a flock of turkeys, be sure to take great care when scattering them. Never run with a loaded gun.

- Identify Yourself. While it's difficult to give up a great hunting location, if another hunter comes into your site, you need to let him know you're there. Don't under any circumstances wave your arms or make inaudible noises, a loud and distinct call is necessary.

- Watch the Decoys. Decoys can be a hunter's best aid when turkey hunting, but take care in their placement. Ensure that there are no other hunters in the line of fire and be sure you're not lined up with his decoys.

Fall turkey hunting can certainly be one of the best times to spend time in the woods, and the desire to bring home a gobbler for dinner is strong, but be sure to follow proper hunting safety to ensure a satisfying hunt.

Craigslist - Search Multiple Cities

Have you ever tried to search Craigslist through multiple cities? There is a small little search tool on the left of Craigslist's home page that looks quite promising. But when you try to search for anything through that box, you are going to be rather disappointed because it allows only for a very basic search. There is no way you can search across more than one category at a time and there is definitely no provision for a multi city search.

So what happens when you want to look for an item in ten different states? Craigslist cannot help you there. You are going to have to go through the classifieds of each of these states yourself by clicking on and viewing each and every post. That doesn't sound like too much fun now does it? Not to mention the amount of time it is going to take for you to do that.

Fortunately for us, there are a lot of software engineers hard at work somewhere around the globe and many of them have been considerate enough to come up with contraptions for searching the entire Craigslist website for postings at once. Searching multiple cities, which could have become quite a trying task, has actually been made simpler by these software guys. They have designed several tools that are available freely online for hardcore Craigslist fans. Thanks to them, all we really have to do is get one of these tools, set them up, customize them and then put them to work. Doing a multi city search on Craigslist has never before been possible!

Duck Hunting

Duck hunting is the practice of hunting ducks for food and sport. commercial hunting is mostly prohibited, and duck hunting is primarily an outdoor sporting activity.

Many types of ducks and geese share the same habitats and are hunted using the same methods. It is not uncommon to take several different species of waterfowl in the same outing.

Wild ducks have been hunted for food, down, and feathers worldwide since prehistoric times. Ducks, geese, and swans appear in European cave paintings from the last Ice Age, and murals in Ancient Egyptian tombs show men in hunting blinds capturing swimming ducks in a trap.

By the turn of the century, commercial hunting and loss of habitat lead to a decline in duck and goose populations in North America. The Lacey Act of 1900, which outlawed transport of poached game across state lines, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, which prohibited the possession of migratory birds without permission (such as a hunting license), marked the dawn of the modern conservation movement.

In 1934 the US government passed the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act, better known as the Federal Duck Stamp Act. This program required hunters to purchase a special stamp, in addition to a regular hunting license. Revenues from the program provided the majority of funding for duck conservation for many decades and funded the purchase of 4.5 million acres of National Wildlife Refuge land for waterfowl habitat since the program's inception.

Duck hunting season is generally in the winter and fall. At this time of the year, the birds have finished raising their young and are migrating to warmer areas. There are three elements used by almost all duck hunters: a shotgun, a hunting blind, and decoys. The decoys are used to lure the birds within range, and the blind conceals the hunter. Once the birds are within range, the hunters stand up in the blind and shoot the birds before they are frightened off.

The most commonly used guns are 12 gauge shotguns. In many areas, buckshot and larger shot is illegal to use for taking migratory birds. Ten, 16, and 20 gauge shotguns are also used. Taking birds with a rifle is illegal due to the inherent danger of shooting long-range bullets into the air.

Duck hunting with lead shot, along with the use of lead sinkers in angling, has been identified as a major cause of lead poisoning in waterfowl, which often feed off the bottom of lakes and wetlands where lead shot collects. In the United States all shot used for ducks must not contain any lead. Steel is the cheapest alternative to lead but steel has a much less effective range than lead because of its lower density. 30 to 40 yards is considered the maximum effective range for duck hunting.

Although steel is the most used shot, many hunters do not like its shooting properties. Steel is less dense than lead, therefore, its effective range is decreased due to a faster decrease in velocity. Many companies have improved steel shot by increasing muzzle-velocity and making more consistent 'shot' or pellets. Within recent years, several companies have created 'heavier than lead' non-toxic shot out of Tungsten, Bismuth or other elements with a density similar or greater to lead. These shells have more consistent patterns and greater range than steel shot.

Originally, a duck call was a very simple woodwind instrument. It had a barrel, a sounding board and a reed. Hunters would grunt into the call while saying "hut", "quit" or "ut". With the improvement of calls and calling techniques the best callers are able to use no voice. The most prevalent and hunted duck in the United States, the mallard, makes the well known "quack" sound many associate with ducks. Other species make many different sounds, ranging from high-pitched whistles to very low, grunt-like quacks. There are calls for almost all species of ducks. Pintails, teal, wood ducks, diving ducks and other ducks including the calls of both the male, or drake and the female, or hen.

In many species, the call of the drake is different from that of the hen. Mallard drakes make a lower pitch, longer quack than the hen mallard. This call is often used while feeding and when a mallard drake is landing. The quack of a mallard drake requires voice and is replicated by humming into a special whistle-like call. This whistle is often called a 6-in-1 whistle, due to the fact that it can replicate six different duck species sounds.

In teal, the drakes make a call of short bursts of a high pitch whistle. The "teet! (pause) teet! (pause) teet!-teet!" or any other order of repetition. This call can be made by blowing short bursts of air into the "6-in-1" whistle.

The majority of duck sounds people have heard and are familiar with comes from females, or hen, mallards. Hen mallards are very vocal and this is probably why the number one call for duck hunting in North America is a hen mallard call.

There are numerous types of structures that qualify as duck blinds. Blinds can be temporary or permanent. They are very effective at concealing hunters and making their movements un-noticed. For hunting over water, the types of blinds are almost unlimited. Many of these permanent blinds look like a small shack with an opening that faces the water and a portion of the sky.

Often creating a temporary, natural blind as a method of concealment is a hunter's best bet. This is done by using native grasses or vegetation and natural material and simply hiding in a tree, clump of grass or a shrub. More sophisticated natural blinds may have large logs or branches leaned together or tied together using rope. Temporary blinds are common in protected and public areas where a permanent blind is not allowed. Temporary blinds can be very simple and usually require a three dimensional enclosure to conceal hunters from circling flocks.

With the growing popularity of boats in duck hunting, many have chosen to use boat blinds. Boat blinds are used to conceal a hunter when hunting out of a boat.

Duck season takes place in the fall and winter where the weather can be harsh. Waterproof clothing is critical to duck hunting. Most duck hunters hunt over water, and they stand in water or in a boat. In order to stand in the water and stay dry the hunter must wear waders. Waders are waterproof pants that have attached boots and are completely waterproof. Typical waders are chest high, but waist high and knee high waders are sometimes used in shallow water. Duck hunting can be a very cold sport and the hunter must be well insulated from the cold. Ducks also have great vision which requires the hunters clothing to be well camouflaged.

Duck hunters often use a dog to retrieve downed birds. Most often hunters use retrievers, and sometimes spaniels. The use of a dog provides a number of advantages. As duck hunting often takes place in cold wet locations, the use of a dog frees the hunter from having to wade into cold water to retrieve the bird. This can be dangerous for the hunter, but is managed by a trained dog easily. It also allows for the recovery of wounded birds that might otherwise escape.

Duck hunting is highly regulated. Hunters are required to obtain a hunting license and face limits on the number of birds that can be taken in a day (bag limits) and the total number of birds a hunter can possess (possession limits).

In the United States, hunters must also purchase a federal duck stamp and often a state stamp. It is illegal to shoot ducks from a motor vehicle, a moving boat, or to shoot sitting or swimming ducks. Many practices that were once common in commercial duck hunting before the turn of the century are now prohibited. In most areas, shotguns that can hold more than two or three shells must be modified to reduce their magazine size. Legal hunting is done "in-season" only. It is also considered good sportsmanship to make every attempt to retrieve dead or injured waterfowl the hunter has shot.

Many states require hunters, including duck hunters, to complete hunter safety courses before they can obtain a license.

The Best Pillow in the World - Where Can I Find the World's Most Luxurious Pillow?

Restful sleep is so important to help you enjoy life to the full. One of the most critical, and sometimes overlooked, parts of getting the sleep you need is choosing a good quality pillow. There's so much choice on the market today of fibre filled pillows, foam filled pillows and natural feather and down filled pillows that you could lose sleep trying to decide what to buy!

My family has been supplying pillows for over 100 years and still believe that despite all the new synthetic fillings available, for softness and comfort natural, breathable pure white goose down is still the best filling available.

Last year, we decided to commission a luxury white goose down pillow made to their own exacting specification. To do this a huge amount of time was spent finding the finest cotton cambric woven to make the outer case, sourcing the very best white goose down available and finding a manufacturer that could be trusted to put together all these elements.

We are proud to say that this pillow is, in our opinion "the most luxurious pillow in the world", a statement that has been verified by the many satisfied customers who have taken the trouble to call and tell us just how wonderful it actually is.

Soft and plump, this luxury pure white goose down pillow has just the right amount of filling to give support while retaining its wonderful softness. After sleeping on this exquisite pillow we are absolutely confident you'll agree it's the most comfortable pillow you've ever slept on.

Hunting Catalogs - No Matter What Hunting Item You Want, the Right Catalog Will Have It

Hunting catalogs can be a excellent way to fill your hunting needs. Regardless of whether you need guns, hunting rifle scopes, bullets, etc, you can find them in these catalogs.

Hunting Catalogs - No Matter What Hunting Item You Want, the Right Catalog Will Have It

Of course, nowadays you can find them on the internet in addition the physical mailings, so it's much easier to get what you want quickly. Also, they are completely free of charge, which often times isn't the case with catalogs, because you usually have to pay at least shipping with these.

Hunting Catalogs - No Matter What Hunting Item You Want, the Right Catalog Will Have It

However, remember that while hunting catalogs are a starting point to find the equipment you need, be sure not to just accept the manufactures claims at face value. Be sure to do some research online and make sure the equipment is top quality.

Hunting Catalogs - No Matter What Hunting Item You Want, the Right Catalog Will Have It

Hunting Catalogs - No Matter What Hunting Item You Want, the Right Catalog Will Have It

Don't just go with the cheapest in order to save money, because you might end up spending more in the long run if you buy a low quality item, because you will end up replacing it immediately after.

First, run through the catalog and find the times in it that will match your allowed spending amount, and once you do confine your searches to these, now just read reviews of those items on the internet, and you will quickly and easily find the best one with this.

Also, if you have trouble finding reviews for your particular model, I'd recommend you visit hunting forums, where there are going to be plenty of hunters online who can help you. try and find well trafficked forums where you question can get answered within minutes, and you don't have to wait days on end.

This really isn't difficult. I'd recommend you make your purchases using hunting catalogs as opposed to the local store, just because you can generally save quite a bit of money from the typical retail markup you'd otherwise be paying.

What kind of items are most prevalent in online hunting catalogs? While the typical equipment is all there, which I laid out, probably the thing you will have the easiest time finding is hunting clothing, such as clothes that blend in with the surrounds, footwear, and basically anything you need to wear while hunting for any weather you might encounter. No matter what you want, you can find it with online hunting catalogs.

Ancient Sumer - Food Habits

Sumerians were the first culture to quit hunting and gathering Food and begin cultivation. Like many other inventions that Sumerian culture gave to the world, they also contributed in farming and Food. Sumerian Food consisted mainly of barley.

Ancient Sumer - Food Habits

Ancient Sumer - Food Habits

The raw material of most of Sumerian Food was barley, barley cakes and barley paste were accompaniMents of all major meals. Wheat and millet were other raw materials used in Sumerian food. Farming yielded vegetables and fruits, chickpeas, lentils, beans, onion, garlic, leeks, cucumbers, cress, mustard and fresh green lettuce was all part of the early Sumerian food. Sumerians were the first culture to settle down and leave the earlier nomad lifestyle. With settleMent they began domesticating animals for food and labor. Goat's milk and meat, eggs, pig; wild fowl, deer and venison were an integral part of the Sumerian's food as well.

Everyday Sumerian food was probably barley cakes with onions and beans washed down with barley ale. Fish that swarmed in the rivers of Mesopotamia were a major food source too. Over fifty different types of Fish are mentioned in the early texts dating before 2300 BC and the fried fish vendors had a thriving trade in the city of Ur. Food stalls also sold onions, cucumbers, freshly grilled goat, mutton and Pork. Meat was more popular and common in big cities as compared to sparsely populated towns as they would spoil in the heat. Cattle were only slaughtered for consumption when they were nearly at the end of their working lives.

Information about Sumerian food can be gathered from archaeology and written records on cuneiform tablets. These sources also indicated the importance of barley and wheat cakes as the staple diet together with grain and legume soups, onion, leeks, garlic and melon. Besides farmed vegetables, Sumerian food also included fruits. These were apples, fig and grapes. Several culinary herbs and honey and cheese, butter and vegetable oil have also been mentioned in later Sumerian food records. Sumerians drank beer often and sometimes wine too. Preservation of foodstuff had also been evolved with meats being salted and fruits conserved in honey. Various other fruits including apples were dried to preserve them and a fermented cause is also mentioned in the Akkadian texts.

Rice and corn was unknown in ancient Mesopotamia, thus barley and its flour was the staple Sumerian food. Their bread was coarse, flat and unleavened, though an expensive version was made out of finer flour. Pieces of this bread were found in the tomb of Queen Puabi of Ur, left there for sustenance in afterlife. Breads were enhanced with butter, milk and cheese, sesame seeds and even fruits and their juices. Later records show truffles being made as well. With the advent of irrigation canals lush fruit and vegetable farms with fruits like mulberries, pears, plum, cherries and pomegranates were found in abundance. The most important food crop in southern Mesopotamia was the date palm. Goats, cows and ewe were domesticated for milk; geese and ducks for eggs and some 50 varieties of fish were a staple Sumerian food. Meats were cooked by roasting, boiling, barbecuing or broiling and preserved by drying, smoking or salting.

Gypsy Fortune Teller Halloween Costumes - Easy to Make

As a little girl I often loved to Dress up as a gypsy, whether it was for Halloween or just for play. Maybe it's because I long to be free to do as I want and go where I wish, without the societal constraints we have to live by (that's why pirates are so fascinating to people too). Whatever it is, creating a fortune teller costume was the highlight of Halloween.

Gypsy Fortune Teller Halloween Costumes - Easy to Make

Back then there weren't many places to buy fancy costumes (nor did we have the money), so putting my own costume together was a bit of a challenge. Today we can purchase practically any costume we can think of and there are some pretty nice fortune teller Halloween costumes to choose from.

** A Brief History of Gypsy Costumes **

The gypsy people were called Roma or Romani. They are made up of loose nomadic tribes that wandered much of the European countries during the Middle Ages and often lived in caravans. There are still nomadic gypsies in the world today.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, the basic Dress of the woman was a simple robe gathered at the neck worn over an under gown made of chemise. They also wore a length of Cloth which was draped down the back, around the opposite waist, up the front and tied at the shoulder (think Roman toga). A turban was worn on the head.

As time went on, fashions changed. For the most part, gypsies actually dressed very similar to the peasants of the area in which they traveled and cultural dress of the time. Most of the style of gypsy Clothing that we picture today probably came from the Renaissance period when laced vests, flounced skirts, Men's breeches and pirate shirts were more popular.

** Making a Gypsy Halloween Costume **

For those that want to put together their own gypsy costume or are planning on being a "fortune teller" for Halloween this year, you may have to do a bit of shopping around at used clothing stores for some items. If you are handy with a sewing machine, there are many fortune teller costume patterns available as well. Here are some suggestions for both Men and woMen (and boys/girls) that can easily be created once you get all the items:

Women/Girl's Fortune Teller/Gypsy Outfit 1

* Long Tired skirt in a bright color.

* Gypsy style shirt - gathered scooped neck, puffy sleeves gathered at the Wrist or long wide flowing sleeves

* Brightly colored front-laced vest

* Black leotard stockings

* Black shoes

* Brightly colored sash for the waist

* Matching bandana for hAir

* Gold hoop earrings and some long, colorful beaded necklaces, bangles for arms

Women/Girl's Fortune Teller/Gypsy Outfit

* Long wide-flowing black skirt

* White peasant's shirt

* Black front-laced vest

* Black stockings

* Black shoes

* Brightly colored apron or a shorter overskirt

* Long black wig with tight ringlets or curls

* Colored 2" to 3" wide headband

* Gold hoop earrings and some long, colorful beaded necklaces, bangles for arms

Men/Boys Gypsy/Pirate Costume

* Black or brown breeches

* Black boots

* White pirate shirt

* Long-length black or brown vest preferably trimmed with a gold-colored braiding

* Red or another colorful long scarf for the sash at the waist

* Colorful bandana

* One gold hoop earring

Let your imagination run wild with the colors and styles you could mix and match. The trick is to dress in layers and use clothing that is loose and flowing. Add jewelry like bangles, long flowing necklaces, large earrings and ankle bracelets to enhance your outfit. Use colorful sashes accent the waist (and also to hold daggers). Women could drape several sheer scarves from their waist to hang down in points around a solid colored skirt. Include headbands, bandanas and even eye patches for that gypsy pirate look. Purples, blues, greens, bright yellows, reds and blacks are the most popular colors and will make your outfit stand out.
