Hunting & Fishing Commentary
Deer Hunting Shot Placement
When you shoot at a dove with a shotgun, you try to hit the whole critter... but when you're shooting at a deer or any other big game animal, you really need to place your shot properly in order to ensure a clean, humane kill. You should also shoot where the kill zone is the largest - that way, if you should miss the spot, you have still put your bullet (or arrow) into a kill zone. I've spent a lot of time in the woods hunting and learning, and I believe this to be true: Most of the time, the most important piece of my entire deer hunting experience is where I place my shots.

Bass VS Bluegill - Which Pulls Harder
Most fishermen have heard the claim that, pound for pound, bluegill outpull bass. There is also the claim that if a bluegill got to five pounds no tackle would hold them. I have to disagree. I think people feel like bluegill pull harder because they catch them on light tackle compared to bass. I have caught one-pound bluegill and one-pound bass back-to-back on ultralight tackle several times and I think bass are stronger than bluegill. And one fisheries biologist I interviewed agrees.
