I have an older doe, she's about 6 years old. I've been breeding her for about a year and a half. On several occasions she has her babies outside of the nest box. Whenever this happens, she waits until the last minute to pull fur, by thus time, there is no nest to add the fir to (she just won't build one). Why is she doing this? Could it be her age or something else? I'm not looking for a philosophical debate on the cruelty of raising rabbits, no amount of convincing will stop me from doing this, I like rabbit meat too much. I'm just a rabbit breeder seeking council from fellow enthusiasts.

Ok, so I've heard of a place to go hunting for hogs, and I'm trying to get a hunting trip put together... only problem is I don't know where to camp. The GMU is a mixture of national forest land and BLM land. So, I'm pretty sure that you can hunt and camp on BLM land, but I don't know about national forest land. Does anyone have some info that would help me out?

Ok, so i'm new to "big game" hunting and I need a rifle. I decided on getting something in a 30-06. I know that I want a bolt action, but beyond that, I'm open to suggestion. there are some considerations to be had. first off, I'll be hunting deer and hogs mostly. that being said, I want to be able to reach out to 300 yards or so. the second consideration is of course price. My limit is $450. as for furniture, i'm not really picky. Something with a remove able mag is preferred. I was thinking about a Remington 770, but i figure i'd ask first. And also, is there a semi auto rifle out there that would match these considerations,? just out of curiosity.

So, I'm in the market for an actual hunting rifle instead of my trusty k-31. I have decided to get either get something in a .270 or a 30-06. I know that the .270 is a flatter shooting cartridge, but for some reason, the 30-06 seems like it would be less expensive to shoot, and it can be loaded with heavier grain bullets. So, what do you think?

Ok, I started raising rabbits a few months ago, and it's time to butcher my first crop. I wanted to make rabbit jerky out of some of them, but I recently heard that they carry the same kind of diseases that pork does, and when you dry it out, the bacteria stays alive. I really don't believe this, but maybe someone has an outside opinion? I'm going to use a brine to cure the meat in, would that take the danger part out of it? Thanks a bunch.

So I'm applying for jobs like a madman. It seems like most of the times I inquire in person, They tell me to apply online. I fill out the online applications and at the end of them, I am forced to take a pre- employment "personality test". Every time i take them, I'm somehow flagged and rejected. I'm not maladjusted, dangerous, or unstable. I'm just honest. So I'm asking YOU, my Yahoo Answers comrades, How am I supposed to answer those questionnaires? Do I try to lie and make myself an overly energetic,and over friendly eunuch? or do I keep telling the truth and just get lucky? Does anyone know hot to BS their way though these things?

I came into this after the death of my father in law. He had about an acre and a half of land which his house, barn, and garage / workshop sits on. this property used to have access to an alfalfa field about 7 acres in size, but the family is building on it now. We get hay from another field about 20 miles away, that field is divided up among family members, but will not be developed due to family politics. on the acre and a half, we have seven goats, five geese, and over 150 chickens during the breeding season (we usually sell about 75% as chicks or young birds, and retain the rest for meat and breeding). we also sell goats, geese, and eggs. What would you call this operation? is it a farm? I am having an identity crisis about what to call this? Thanks for reading.

I am looking into getting some pekin ducks, And I was wondering if they make good mothers naturally. I don't want to have to incubate eggs every year to propagate them... In my area, chickens are a hot Item, and I already hatch chickens out of my incubator. We have a creek for them to use for breeding, but are they good at looking after their young? What are your experiences with these ducks?

If they both are free to have their own space, will they get along? will the geese kill the chickens? I want to get either african or chinese geese. what suggestions do you have? are there any helpful websites I could refer to? They are both free range and there is ample water.

I planted garlic in late october here in the southwest. It has started growing, meaning there are shoots coming up. Is this a bad thing? We have just started to get freezing weather now, will they go dormant for the winter or will they try to grow and die off?

I read somewhere that if you either flood the plant or allow it to wilt slightly, the heat level of the peppers rises. is this true? If so, is there an ideal way to stress the plants?

Most of us live an existence of safety,hollowness, instant gratification, few consequences, and ease. The result, some people say, is that we as a society are getting weak. For an example, when a lawn needs to be mowed, it isn't uncommon for a lawn service to be called. In the old days, you either payed the kid down the street to do it, or did it yourself. I have actually known someone who payed to have their lawn mowed while they worked out on a treadmill! How pathetic! instead of getting something done outside while getting exercise, she chose to stay indoors and work out.

It seems that we are always relying on someone else to do every thing for us. This is making society weak. with our Ipod, we listen to only what we choose, even walking down the street. In short, we are becoming helpless when faced with problems we ourselves must deal with, spoiled, lazy, and antisocial... weak as a society. Do you agree or disagree?

I have six Thai dragon pepper plants growing. I intend to keep them indoors for the duration of their lives. They are in seedling pots at the moment. When it comes time to transplant them, how big should the pots be? Thanks.

I recently acquired a '62 Chevy short bed, and I need to change the oil. I think the filter type is a replicable component type (not the spin on type). can anyone tell me what kind of filter i need, and where to get it? The engine is a straight six type. I'm new to the whole mechanic thing, Thanks.

Ok, so I wanted to plant garlic this fall for the spring. The supplier of garlic seed bulbs has not been good about making them available. If I had waited longer, the garlic would be too late to plant. I was at a local fruit and veg store yesterday, and decided to give it a shot with the garlic they had. It's an asian variety, It came from China, I think. When do you think It will sprout? Will it sprout? What are your thoughts? Do you think the bulbs have been treated with an anti sprouting agent?

I am planting a garden next year. In it, I will have Thai dragon peppers, Pumpkins, and other types of things. The question is whether I will be able to re plant a garden the following year from the seeds collected from the initial plants. The seeds are non treated, organic. I know that most commercial seeds are sterile, meaning that their offspring won't have viable seeds. Do pumpkin and pepper seed producers do this as well?

Why do you do with them aside from entering them in county fairs? and also, how much square feet per giant pumpkin is required? I need to know it I have enough room first.

in your personal experience, how much is it? considering she is pregnant, and she and her expectant kids are only worth $225 combined, is it worth it? answers needed urgently.

I have a pygmy goat, and would like to stud him out, seeing as that he has done his work here. How should I go about coming up with a stud fee? Do I charge per doe to be bred, or the time the person wants to rent him for? How does this work?

Is this possible? I've heard that they only can be bred in the fall. I'd like to get two "batches" of kids a year, is this possible for pygmys?
