Bear
Hunters heading afield with their sights set specifically on bears have plenty to look forward
to, but there are also many obstacles to overcome. The more prepared and diversified your approach, the better the chance
of securing one of the continent's most dangerous and secretive predators. |

Caribou
Know your animal anatomy.A razor sharp broadhead that passes through both lungs of a big
game animal will dispatch it in mere seconds. The only shooting angles that will allow this to occur are broadside, and quartering
away. Frontside and quartering toward angles will only permit hitting one lung and should be avoided.

Deer
Anytime you see horizontal lines back in the woods, check it out; it just might be the deer
that you have been waiting for. Not many trees grow parallel to the ground. When you spot a horizontal line in the woods,
give it close scrutiny. The chances are high that it is a deer.

Elk
As Northwest wildlife managers attempt to curb elk numbers to keep ranchers and other
landowners satisfied, hunters reap the rewards.

Moose
The name moose is derived from the Algonkian name meaning "eater of
twigs". Moose are the largest of the deer family with seven different sub-species recognized in the world, four of which
inhabit North America.

Wild Pigs
In general, pigs are more difficult to kill than deer or antelope but are easier to kill than
elk. For eating purposes avoid the big boar hogs. They are the hardest to kill and the poorest to eat.

Turkeys
If you know where a gobbler goes on his daily routine, you are
way ahead. Simply get to a favored strut or feeding area before the gobbler does, and call softly.
