Stray bullets can kill. Guns make a lot of noise. People who steal guns might use them to commit crimes. So make all guns illegal for hunting. Instead, lets use fishing rods.

200 lb test, good old Penn winch of a thumb-burner, and a pool stick thick rod. 12/ott hook, 1/4 fresh cut liver, and cast it 50 yards out into areas known for bear traffic. Kick back with the coffee and wait. Click......click.....cliiiiiiiicccccckkkk......... ba-zinge! Set the hook! Running hard, 5 hour fight....finally tiring, and landed. Fish club time! Landed and weighed, 450 black bear.

For deer, same rig, but try a corn cod as bait. Use a medium action spinning rig for raccoons, and an ultralight rig for squirrels, rabbits, or chipmunks.

Raccoons can be caught on baitcasters, especially if you use frog style baits, and a slow, but rythmic, pulsing retrieve.

I'm going to test my gear, my neighbor has a German sheperd that likes hot dogs. I mean why spend all winter wishing I could be cat-fishin, when from the back deck I could be landing dogs!

And just think what a Corvette would look like with rod holders.
