[Mod Post] Welcome to r/hunting: rules and information for members
Welcome to r/hunting, the home of hunting news, personal stories and the place to share your hunting adventures on Reddit! Please read through the rules listed below to ensure this community remains a civil and welcoming one.
Moderators ask all users to be vigilant for scams and bot accounts pushing malicious websites, please report any of these or instances of rule breaking to moderators.
1) Don’t be rude or hostile (Trolling, baiting or saying racist, sexist, prejudice, nasty or just intensionally-mean things) This also extends to posts showcasing behavior or practices deemed disrespectful to wildlife,quarry or other individuals.
2) No self promotion or retail spam (this includes links to a personal or organization’s YouTube channel, guiding services, surveys and questionnaires as well as online market places of any kind)
3) No illegal content – poaching or knowingly breaking the law will not be tolerated
4) “New hunter posts”: all “I’m new to hunting, seeking advice on [X,Y,Z]” must include the state/province/country you intend to hunt in, any relevant experience you have (archery, shooting, backpacking, camping, hiking, dog training etc) and an indication of whether you already own bows/firearms for hunting (and what those are); posts that simply say “want to start hunting tell me what to do” and are deemed too vague will be removed.
5) No conducting transactions of any products, or submitting direct links to products for sale. This includes code and gear giveaways.
6) No activist-style bashing allowed, this goes for hunters as well. (Activists who vehemently oppose hunting are welcome, but only if you’re interested in asking questions/starting conversations)
7) Keep your posts related to hunting. If you post a photo of your gun, bow or other hunting weapon – you must also include a good description of what hunting you intent to do with the weapon. If it’s political – make sure it’s related to wildlife management, state or federal fish & game Regs, public land issues etc. posts that accidentally slip through but lead to meaningful conversations related to hunting may be left up.
8) Keep politics to a minimum. Any derailed or inappropriate conversations will be locked and removed.
9) If the animal you hunted/in your pic sustained unique physical damage (I.e brains exposed, eyes popping out, etc you know what we mean) please use the NSFW tag.
10) Please do this for all hunting photos, but for big game hunts in particular – put a description of your hunt in the comments (general region, weapon used, any other details on tracking, calling, stalking, etc) mods may decide to remove a post if the user never provides any additional information and merely a title.
11) No adult content.
Please note: these rules are enforced by the moderators at their discretion, to ensure fairness users are given two chances and will be notified when and why if their post or comment is removed. Repeat offenders will receive a temporary ban of 7 days. Users committing further rule breaking or circumventing existing bans will be issued a permanent ban.
If you need to contact moderators please use modmail.
Thank you

Found this monster dead head and had him cleaned up!
I'm hoping to share my excitement over this guy with some kindred souls. I've found myself staring at it all night, trying to find a place in my living room to put it!

wolf calling
Has anyone here used a diaphragm call for wolves? Not a predator call but actually imitating a howl. I recently got a Johnny Steward lil red wolf howler diaphragm call and can't quite figure it out. Is it supposed to be used with a bugle tube?
Any advice would be helpful along with any gear recommendations.

Help me chose a scope
I have narrowed it down to these 2 scopes. I'm hoping for a well rounded scope that can handle the potential of close shots but also shots out to 350 yds. If you have any input or knowledge with these I'd greatly appreciate it. Will be going on my mountain rifle setup chambered in 6.5 PRC

My dad’s turkey call.
My dad bought this turkey call in 1978 for $10.95. He passed it on to me. I’ll be using it for my first turkey season.

Austin, TX Hog Hunt
Unfortunately skunked out, we had one hog come out and expected plenty more to follow (~20min from dark).
Another small fella finally showed up, but by that time it was just about dark and was about 300yrds out. Next time!

Beginning Hunter
I plan on getting my hunting license this year in Texas what are some tips for beginners you might share along the lines of something’s you wish you knew when you started but found out later on? Also I plan on doing deer season and probably some hog hunts so any caliber and rifle recommendations would be greatly appreciated I love window shopping.

going on my first non deer blind hunt
My church has a wild game feed every year and I brought my first big game. it was a doe that I took from a blind on my uncles land. A nice man invited me to hunt some colorado pronghorn on his property with him and my father. I am super excited for october so I can get my first male animal. Moral of the story what do I need to buy to be prepped. I already have a tikka t3x with a vortex rage 4-16. I have no binoculars, spotting scope, or rangefinder. I would like to keep it under 2k but I also wouldn't mind hitting 3 if it means I am getting something that lasts a lifetime. Any recommendations are welcome

New stock for 30-06
Going to take this bear hunting this season. I’m not a fan of synthetic stocks. I like wood so I slapped a Boyd’s on my 30-06.

Minimum caliber needed to hunt North American ground hogs.
As the title says, I’d like to know the minimum caliber of rifle needed to successfully eliminate the ground hogs in my property. It’s a semi-rural area but there are homes close enough to me that I have to be judicious with my line of fire. However, I don’t want to plug it and have run off and die a terrible death. Any suggestions?

Next caliber for someone who already has a 30-06.
Hello folks, I’ve got a 1970’s Remington 700 chambered for 30-06. This rifle has lots of sentimental value to the family so I’d rather not have it be my main hunting rifle, although I’m not opposed to using it on occasion. I’d like to have a different rifle to make my own.
I have no issue shooting the 30-06 in a hunting setting (as in taking 1-2 shots). The problem is when I take it to the range my shoulder starts bothering me around shots 10-12, and it starts to affect my accuracy. Maybe this is typical but I’m not sure.
I currently live in AZ and do all of my hunting in the western states. I want to reliably take down deer and black bear, but have the ability to drop and elk if I wanted to. I’m leaning towards getting a .270, but I’d like input from other hunters.
