If you whistle at a rabbit when it starts to run, it'll freeze.
When I was a little kid with my fibreglass bow, I always figured that'd be my secret weapon for rabbit killing. But every time I spotted one, I got buck fever so bad that my mouth would dry out and I couldn't whistle. But it does work.

400 m of a main highway maybe but it's, what 18 meters from the centerline of most 2 lane roads and NO restrcitcions on logging roads not currently maintained by the gov't or its agents. 
Little known hunting facts ey? Well lets see...
1) - if you 'show off' your bull grunts, and a cow comes in looking for some 'moose luvvin' and you don't have a tag, it's legally acceptable for your friends to abandon you to 'sort it out' with her yourself.
2) - with today's modern high speed magnum cartridges, proper bullet selection is less of a factor if you happen to shoot a grouse.
3) - whatever you forgot, that's what you'll really really need in the feild.
4) - in order to give them a fighting chance - god gave game animals about 10 more minutes of patience than he gave you. Something to keep in mind when you're getting fidgetty.
5) - You CAN catch ducks with a fishing pole, and you CAN fish with a 12 guage, but genenrally speaking it's probably best if you do it the other way around.
6) - The best way to stop Gatehouse from snoring is to poke him with a stick...but generally it's a hell of a lot less painfull to live with the snoring.

I've noticed over the years that as you sit and call moose, your guts will start to churn and that "urge" to set your gun down and reach for the paper will overcome you..As you find a nice spot that's free of rosebushes, just as you undo your suspenders, a bull will call back.
I think the sound of zippers and unbuckling suspenders attracts moose.

BIGREDD , Myths , Legends and Old Wives tales ? I went to a circus when i was a yougun and watched a lady get pinned to a wheel by a feller chuckin' knives at her . A porquipine did the same thing to an old uncle of mine . He was walking by the barn and scared a porker and the porker fired his quills and pinned him to the wall . If ya sprinkle salt on a birds tail you can catch 'em by hand and if you lift a skunk by his tail he can't spray you . If attacked by a bear , drive your fist down his throat , grab him by the tail and pull him inside out . Them's facts . :^)

^Raccoons reflexively curl up into a ball if you kick 'em. I watched a guy do this to a 'coon that was foraging for seabird eggs on the beach. They don't run very fast, so he caught up to it no problem, and when it curled up he grabbed it by the tail and lifted it off the ground Only problem was, now he had 30 or 40 pounds of pissed-off 'coon hanging at roughly crotch height Not smart!! He ended up letting it go, since there was nothing else he could do at the time, but it was still pretty impressive (and funny at the same time!) to watch

Doh a dear
Somebody then wrote a song about female deer and it and now we are stuck with it.
They could have used Hoe or something else that rhymes.

Real Facts
Most people know that trapping opened this country up, and that the Hudson Bay Company traded their famous blankets for beaver skins. Larger blankets = more beaver skins.
But did you know that original Hudson Bay blankets had black colour bars woven at 90 degrees to one edge of the blanket. The number of bars = the number of skins required to purchase that particular blanket.
The Hudson Bay Company actually invented the bar code used today.
They are also the only company in Canada to be granted a charter to fly their own flag.

Did you know black bear mothers actually give birth while they're asleep in the winter? Go to bed in fall, wake up in spring with a couple of kids running around the den.
I think they gave it a little more thought than our womenfolk, seems like a better system to me

Shotguns fire tighter patterns as air density decreases at higher altitudes. In a vacuum, loads fired through a cylinder bore would provide a 100 percent pattern at 40 yards.
And all this time I thought that you guys in the mountains were just better shots!
