Man has been hunting animals such as deer and buffalo for the purposes of food, clothing and shelter for a very long time. Hunting actually predates the civilized world as we know it today and there are many archaeological discoveries that confirm this fact in hunting history.

An Asian spearhead has been carbon dated as being over 16,000 years old and there is some evidence that we used larger game as food as much as 2 million years ago. That doesn’t seem likely to me but I suppose it’s not impossible. Archaeologists think it’s the case, tho.

Bass fishing tips aren’t something I have a lot of. As I said before I hardly ever fished for bass. I grew up in Minnesota and if it wasn’t walleyes, northerns or panfish it’s as if it didn’t exist. What I had never caught was a Musky.

I had some friends who had a 32 foot trailer on their lot on Blackwater Lake in northern Minnesota and my buddy and I went up there a few times with the express idea of catching muskies.

It’s a good sized lake with a lot of different habitat and you could catch bass, northerns, walleyes and muskies. Crappies and bluegills were also abundant but the water was so clear it made fishing a bit tough.

We tried for muskies a couple of days and never had a hit let alone a follow so to soothe our disappointment we would fish crappies and bluegills just so we could catch something.
