Q. Not to shoot but just to get some pictures to make thanksgiving with my family a bit less awkward and spark a conversation. So if I were to get in a blind tomorrow at say noon and put a raw steak 3 feet in front of my blind with the wind blowing toward a place I have seen foxes how long would it take a predator from about a mile away to find the bait? Typically from your expirence.
Ps its legal to bait animals here.
Oh! Also, are predators like deer? Should I wear scent away? Will it matter?

A. No, no and no.
Steak, really? Really? How many 4 legged foxes do you see buying steaks? Really?
I am an Alaskan trapper. I used to have a pet fox - it was litter box trained and loved to play in the back yard with me and the kids. I learned allot about foxes from him.
Fox - have a 'thing' for birds - and go totally nuts for fried chicken and they are not pickey about what part of the bird it came from since they can chew up the bones and their stomach acid can break them down.
The quickest way I can thing to get some fox in front of you - is go buy a box of that nasty Banquet forzen chicken and heat it up as the directions say. Then take half the warm pieces out at night and break them into small pieces and scater them - leaving a trail to your blind. The next night, do the same - and be waiting in the morning on the second day. You might get lucky on the first morning, but, most fox follow a two day pattern looking for food depending on how the wind is blowing and the temperature.
When I lived on Kodiak Island, Alaska we cooked up one of those Butterball smoked turkeys for Thanksgiving. It was pretty good - but - when I hauled the carcass, skin and bones out and used the pieces on the trap line - it was one of my most sucessful weekends ever.
The fried chicken works great - because the fox are mostly grease starved - since all the mice, rabbits, birds etc are pretty lean. However, for this trick to work - they have to have eaten a sample and learned just how yummy the fried chicken is. Because like your steak - they really dont know what it is unless they had tasted it.
Normally - I would take a pigeon/grouse carcass or two and rip their bodies apart and set down a trail toward the blind. This is something a fox knows - and - they will usually follow the trail of feathers in the hope a small tasty part had also fallen off.
Good luck

How long does it take for Betta fish to breed?
Q. i have a male and female betta that i want to breed and want to about how long it takes. I already checked youtube and since the videos are sped up, i don't know how long that really is.
A. The takes the average novice approximately 6 months to a year of researching and gathering suppliesin order to successfully breed betta fish. It is NOT easy. It is NOT cheap. It is NOT for everyone. Here is a list of suppliesyou'd need just to start off-
Breeding quality bettas (NOT PET STORE QUALITY.) 5 gallon housing for male 5 gallon housing for female Spawning tank 30 gallon + growout tank Sponge filters Fully Submersible Heaters Nets Turkey Basters Air pumps (for BBS) Air line tubing (for BBS) Salt Medication for outbreaks Live Brine Shrimp Culture Live Microworm Culture Source of Infusoria Live plants High quality food to condition pair 100+ Jars to separate fry A way to heat 100+ jars of adultfry
I'm just going to stop here, even though the list could literally go on and on.
Spend a LOT more time researching before you even think about breeding bettas. Make sure you realize you know what you're getting yourself into, and make sure you can justify how you are contributing to the betta splenden species.
Good sources for information include Bettatalk.com, Bettysplendens.com, BettaFish.com, and UltimateBettas.com.
*Deciding on a whim to throw a male and a female into a tank together WILL RESULT IN DAMAGED / DEAD FISH.

Is raw wildlife meat acceptable to give a pet if you do a raw fed diet?
Q. I have been doing a raw fed diet for about 4 months now. I'm still learning but WOW the change has been amazing. I thought my dogs were already healthy and looked great but this is amazing.
Anyway, my husband hunts a few times a year for things like wild turkey and deer. Is it acceptable to give a dog meat from wildlife?
This question is specifically directed toward people who raw feed their pets. If you don't raw feed or just want to criticize me without a reason then please don't waste your time.
Thanks for the help!

A. Absolutely! Meat from wildlife is free range, hormone-free, organic stuff. Some of the best meat you can find! And all for the price of your hunting license.
Some people worry about the higher possibility of parasites in wild game. If it concerns you, you can freeze the meat for 30 days and that should take care of anything. If you're not concerned, you can feed it fresh and steaming. I know people who do both, and so far I don't know of anyone who's had an issue. (But I do freeze the wild game I feed.)
Raw is great, isn't it? It never ceases to amaze me the positive changes I've seen in my dogs since the switch. People who still feed commercial food just won't understand until they try it.

What are the signs that your turkey is in pain?
Q. I am a petsitter taking care of a almost year old turkey that suffered a fall and hurt its leg in November, ya, November. She can walk around now a little, with a limp, but I am wondering how do you know when a turkey is suffering and in pain? She eats and drinks fine and talks. Should I expect it to fully recover from it's injury and be back to normal or should we pull the plug? It is a family pet and not to be eaten. Thanks for your help

A. I apologize for the idiocy of the other jerks who answered this.
I would listen for distressed sounds, like when you step on a dog's tail, he whimpers. Listen for abnormal or unusual sounds.
I would also consult the owners. Perhaps they'd know something.
