I know for some people the homesteading lifestyle is more about gardening and raising small domestic animals than it is hunting. In reality hunting for meat is a very common part of rural life. Not only is it an opportunity to get out in the peace and quiet of the forest and connect with nature, but it’s also a great way to get extra protein without spending a ton of money.
Bagging a deer, elk, bear or even in some places, a moose, is an annual event that goes a long way towards stocking the freezer with meat for the long winter. Unfortunately in many states these seasons can last only a few weeks.
For example, in my home state of Minnesota you can only hunt for deer with a shotgun and deer slug for two short weeks out of the year. If you hunt with a rifle you can get a three week long season but only if you’ve got hunting ground in the northern part of the state.
If you have the misfortune of your homestead being in an area that receives additional hunting pressure you might only have a day or two at the beginning of the season to shoot a deer. After that the presence of hunters tromping around the area sends the deer into a spook-mode where they travel sparingly, in the deep of night to more difficult, unpressured terrain.
Once the firearms season ends your only options for deer is short range muzzle loaders, where you put black powder down the barrel, or bow hunting.
For some hunters, small game and bird hunting is a real joy that surpasses their love of deer hunting. It’s also probably the best way to get kids interested in hunting.
