    Fishing Software

    in General Angling Discussion

    It would be neat to have a lakemap that you open in app that starts running and recording to the minute data in real time.. (For review later).. As you catch a fish you could mark in the app where you caught it.. (App already recording bm pressure/ temps/ etc meanwhile) you could set it up so through Siri you just talk and say, ten foot water, Norman Crankbait, water stained.. (And that data could be tied to that waypoint)

    Its a great idea, its just sooooo broad ridiculous ideas kind of have to be thrown out there to get it started.. (I'm saying in an app, i realize there is likely equipment that does this already..)

    Its a great idea.. My ipad surely has most anything (available to it via web) on it that would be required for most functions..

    Hoping folks chime in.

    I never understood taking the last minute shots at dusk, Personally I have thought that hunting times for all game should end at 1/2 hour before sunset as it does in waterfowl. I like deer hunting and know it would take some prime time away but it does in waterfowling also. But it gives a person time to track the game and find it while still light or twilight at least. Blaming anything in nature for eating a free meal is just stupid but so is taking a shot when the odds of successfully tracking it due to light conditions is just as stupid IMO

    This thread really has gone more in to hunting ethics and you can probably ask 100 hunters what is ethical in their opinions and by the time its over you would be able to separate them in to the ( 6 STAGES OF A HUNTER ).

    For me it boils down to this

    1. Have the skills needed

    a. Skill to call

    b. Skill to lure

    c. Skill to make clean shots

    d. Skill in proper game meat preservation

    e. Skill to cook it.

    2. Knowledge

    a. Knowledge of the animals habits

    b. Knowledge to properly identify the species

    c. Knowledge of the Ballistics bow or gun I am using

    d. Knowledge of the Local area and its traditions

    e. Knowledge of the laws

    3. Safety

    a. Being able to safely get to where you are going and back

    b. Being able to safely use your weapon

    c. Never taking and unsafe shot ( Know your target and what's beyond )

    4. Fair Chase

    a. Hunt the game in a manner that allows it to have a chance to avoid you ( no high fences )

    b. Use of your skills in calling, decoying, concealment etc to make the cleanest kill shot possible.

    c. When a clean kill is not made NEVER stop looking for the animal till you have found and dispatched it quickly.

    5. Pass it on

    This to me is the most important of all morals and ethics, passing on the heritage the knowledge and love for the outdoors to any and everyone who wishes to enjoy it. And to those who don't want to do it share the beauty of it and what we get to see and enjoy each day out from the Coffee with friends in the morning to the sight of the sunrise and life renewing each day and ask them if they would like to come along just to experience something more than the couch or recliner.

    Now as to the nuisance issue, there is definitely nuisance animals no doubt about it but many are made that way by mans actions. I kill the local geese in wholesale fashion with no regard for anything but the legal way to take them and the limit on them, No respect for what they have become but I also know they have become that way because of man. Park Geese / Resident geese to me are nothing more than cattle needing slaughter for a good meal or jerky.... But when the migrators come down my attitude changes quickly and I see again the beauty of wild birds the way they talk and fly and in general act and I respect them greatly.

    I bet the same could be said for Deer who live in the woods versus Park or City Deer and even Coons and Yotes. Man is the factor that makes some of them nuisances by our practices and actions.

    Great post

    "Do you know in the Spring when coyotes have had pups and the does have fawned the coyote will catch and kill fawns for there pups at a fawn a day"

    Mother nature, let the wild outdoors be just that.. The wild outdoors.

    "Try also to convince the cattle and sheep farmers who loose there income to the coyote population"

    I never said there are no legitimate nuisance animals, i just don't care for the nuisance term being thrown around on a deer hunter's behalf. That is not an example of a nuisance animal.

    "Hunters" like this guy that shot this Cougar give hunting a black eye.

    One man's opinion, you have yours..

    Most of the anti Coyote folks i have talked to eventually will concede they hate coyotes because if the shoot a deer at dusk and it doesn't drop.. The coyotes always eat their deer by the time they are able to find them.

    The need for restraint when YOU DON'T HAVE THE SHOT doesn't make a coyote a nuisance. Sloppy shot placement doesn't make the coyote a nuisance.

    I have coyotes all around my place, never had any animals harmed or my trash pilfered. I love hearing them at dusk all taking roll call.

    I'm not anti-hunter by any means, but i don't like the nuisance term being slapped on different creatures to fit someone's desire to shoot them. (only to let them lay where they were shot, and rot)

    There is something very odd about the fisrt couple posts he made.

    (Basically) by the way i'm on SSI... Regular folks don't say that. Theres something up with this person's insisting we're all on board with this.

    (Claim you cant afford fast food so raising non native crawdads is your remedy for that?)
