You don't need a scope, generally use the smallest caliber pistol that is legal to hunt with.

Curly's Hunting Tips
by N. Yuck
Accessorizing is such fine Fein fun.
Climb up the pine with thine gun.
Shoot the beast until he's dead,
But if you can't, then club his head.
And if he still won't go to ground,
Then kick him like you do your hound.
And if he bellows let him go,
Saying, "Eenie, meenie, mynie, Moe."

Brave Cowboy- Dogs make it a hell of a lot easier and are great companions that get more enjoyment than I when the critter is treed or bayed.

Q-ball- What would you say is your success rate using dogs? Let's say outta 10 hunts.

Then they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through some bushes where the rabbits woldn't go
It's the chase, not the kill, like it's the road, not the destination.
Blood sports, hunting for practical purposes, too obvious a difference to mention, except that initiation into manhood required the blood back in the day.
All in all, this is a good, brave experiment by the so-called gov't.
Ron must be out climbing in this clean weather. Sally-O doesn't look like a blood-thirsty hound, either.

Depends on the species?
Bird hunting 0-100% depends on where and when
Lion Hunting- very low for me (not much of a lion hunter)
Bears- 50%
Feral Hogs- Illegal in Tenn!!! (we trap them over bait)
Foxes- I let neighbors hunt them (hunt being they chase the foxes on horseback and don't actually kill the fox)
Squirrels- easy to tree and find, usually just tree them because my pup (Starlette) has so much fun doing it!

Q-Ball, yes, dogs are great companions. But to me there seems to be a disconnect between hound-using hunters and the primeval past. Have you no appreciation of the times before, the times when we sought the trees to avoid being ripped slowly to shreds by hungry packs of canids? Cannot you hear that distant past and allow mercy to a treed animal?
I am tempted to ask about your weight, about whether or not you think that the shooting part should be a hell of a lot easier too, but instead I will gloat, smug in the certitude that I know better than to take candy from a baby.

Thanks, I was mostly talking about bears and 5 outta 10 is pretty good. That's nearly half the time. You can't use dogs on pigs, but can bait and trap them? That's weird, CA you can still use dogs on pigs and no one gives a sh#t about them, almost no regulations.

Brave cowboy- yes it is a hell of a lot easier with dogs, that is why they are used.
When was the last time you smelled a grouse? My dogs do all the time, and it fills my freezer because of their help!
And I weigh 125, yeas I am a skinny son of a b-cth! Thanks to my pups!

Things I should have told my brother:
My brother was at the dinner table recently venting his outrage over the multiple bullet clip ban for assault rifles…. (don't quote me, but it was something along those lines). He got a rifle from my grandfather when my grandfather died. The rifle supposedly has some kind of magazine that came stock from the manufacturer that is now considered unlawful.
I felt like laughing in his face but because of his 'close to the deep end of' rednecktitude I just kept asking what the five shots on a hunting rifle were for? My thinking is/was that if a guy couldn't get what he needed in a single shot…. maybe hunting is not his thing? but maybe that's just the perfectionist in me telling myself that I'd get good enough to shoot sh#t with a single shot…. I can't expect someone with caveman qualities to understand why that may be of benefit to all concerned.
No, I get it… You don't have as big a dick now that your bullets are being taken from you… Your life is diminished somewhat because of having fewer bullets. Maybe you've been unfairly targeted for this banning of only your toys and none of the other kids toys.
YOU SAY YOU ARE A MAN BUT YOU ACT JUST LIKE A LITTLE BITCH-ASS WHEN YOU DON'T GET YOUR WAY.
I almost went so far as to suggest that he form a kind of special interest group for multi-rounded rifles so that your voice can be heard by our lawmakers.. but, oh, wait…. you already have one of those… and they do already have the ear of congress…. and still your balls have been detached.
This shows that the less a man feels the more an animal he becomes.

I know a man that hunts (and is successful) bobcats, without dog or cage, bait or snare, by virtue of skill, patience, and cunning.
I also know a man that runs down coyotes on snowmobile, shooting them from 10 feet away, laughing about his laziness.
Stylistic differences, really. You know, like rap bolting versus actually putting in the work to go ground up.

This just in- Tennessee has just started having a problem with feral hogs. You can use bait, traps, helicopters but no hounds! I think the state is worried that people will run deer. But it may be simple politics from folks that are not familiar with wildlife and controlling their numbers?
As for bears, TN has a short season but with good pups you can find them

When hunting legally there is a real benefit to the ecosystem and hunters help fund conservation more than any other group. Having said that, humans have no breeding limits besides in China. Maybe Donini's idea should be put into play.

Brave Cowboy- I agree, most folks here sit in a tree-stand to shoot a deer. I prefer to wander around the woods.
I don't get mad at folks that have certain preferences in hunting styles as long as they follow the law. I guess we can agree on that.
As with dogs, it is about watching them work from all the folks I know

Ron, are you really bagging on the farmer down the way that grows my good grassfed beef and buffalo as dishonest?
And on what level is bear-baiting pure?
I think that the comparison with the free solo is tenuous as well. Hands on rock only for progression should equate to hands on flesh/primitive weapon for killing. Do you hunt with an atlatl? Do you hunt with a hand-made blade? Or do you hunt with a chemically propelled metallic slug mined in China?
You are an aid climber calling yourself a soloist.

Dingus, a few hogs from a month ago. They tear up the environment as much as I do! I hope we can keep the numbers down.
