Well, big game hunting is pretty much over this year, so what is your cure for “Buck Fever”?

What breeds of dogs are best for detecting snakes on your yard?

I’ve heard that White German Shepherds are especially fond of small game animals- birds, squirrels, etc. Would they be best for detecting the presence of snakes on your yard? I have had snakes on my yard because I live very close to a creek.

What can I kill with 17 ft lbs of energy?

I have a Crossman Quest 1000 air rifle that produces 17 ft lbs of energy. Now I know only 6lbs of energy is needed to kill a squirrel so does that mean I can only hunt animals 3 times bigger then a squirrel? What is the biggest game I can kill with 17 ft lbs of energy?

In New Mexico, I can hunt rabbit w/ out any license. What if it’s not ‘technically’ on land I own?

This is a paragraph from the small game rules and regulations for New Mexico–

“Rabbits and Other Nongame Species:
Common nongame species include coyotes, skunks,
rabbits and rock squirrels. Residents are not required
to have a hunting license to take rabbits or other
nongame species. Nonresidents must have either a
nonresident, nongame license or any current New
Mexico nonresident hunting license.
Nongame species may be taken on State Trust Lands
opened by easement by persons holding a valid
hunting or trapping licenses for protected species on
those lands during the individual’s hunt or trapping
season. Nongame species may also be taken on U.S.
Forest Service and BLM lands open to hunting.”
