Quoted By:

Next fall I will be moving to either Illinois or Indiana. What outdoor activities are there to do in these states?

I'm used to western states with lots of public land and mountains, wondering how I'll get /out/ without either. What's the flat land like? Where do you go hiking? How are the rivers and great lakes? I know a lot of deer get shot here, but I don't know how the hell you hunt on private lands.

I'll be in Northern IN, Chicago, or Central IL, for reference.

If in Indiana, you'll be going to southern Indiana or souther Ohio for deer hunts, and north to Michigan for some of the best fishing opportunities in the country

Also, fish the rivers, they are going to have by far your best variety of good fish like flatheads and common carp

So much bs about this area, does anyone else actually live here? Hoosier National Forest? Plenty of good state parks? Is any of this actually ringing any bells?
You'll need a license to hunt, by just pony up the money, you are good, no worries. Some places you can hunt, just not state parks.
I've lived in IN (Monroe&Vigo) almost 20 years. Yes I'm old. I've never had a car or truck inspected in either county. Maybe your county sucks?

It's likely just some cuck trying to look cool, but those are for areas with predators that could eat your dog to prevent it's throat/jugular being opened. That's the weak spot on a dog, they can generally survive their face being ripped open or losing a limb.

So I would like to start camping in winter and would like to know how it must be done. Any guides and/or tips?

Also what camping tent should I get myself for winter? Any specific products maybe? (Keep in mind that I am a student so budget is kinda important here)

76Cx for me.
>About $150
>Tough as fuck (although I've destroyed a couple of them now)
>Already have maps/etc for it (24k topo for all of US, plus CityNav street maps for US/Canada/Mexico)
>Logs tracks well, easy to move data in/out of computer(s)
>Runs on 2xAA's, or wired to sled/moto
>No touchscreen (easy to operate in rain/snow)
>Better antenna than a phone has for GPS reception

Downsides, if it hasn't been powered up in a while or it's moved a long ways from where it was last booted up, it can take a while to grab almanac/ephemeris since it doesn't have wifi/cell radios to download those.
The screen is small, fairly low-resolution.

60CSx was my first modern receiver after my GPS12. Killed it, bought a 76CSx, killed it. I'm on my 2nd 76Cx now. But the 60CSx took some serious abuse.

I can go a day pretty easily with NiMH rechargeables, in the cold/winter. Summer they'll go 2-3 days.
Powered off my sled, a set of batteries will go about a week.

If it dies or I lose/destroy it, I still have my phone as a backup if needed.

Not him but you might want to take a quick look at the job market and consider what sort of job you'll be suitable for
no really, I know you'll be pretty convinced that you'll just waltz into a job as a scientist but that's just not how that goes, the only person I know from my zoology, ecology, or botany classes who actually got a job in the field works at a museum, everyone else who got a decent job is using their other majors, or in some cases, the diplomas and certificates they did in completely different fields
I personally thank god that I didn't put all my eggs in one basket and now do data analysis in an industrial setting
biology majors are almost unemployable, and the few jobs that actually use that training are highly sought after
but what do I know, maybe you'll be the next Robert Trivers

I already have done a pretty exhaustive search of the job market - including emailing the hiring managers, asking how many applicants vs # of positions, necessity of supplementary qualifications, etc.

The answer is that there's a shitload of jobs out there, and it's pretty clear from the context in your reply that you only have experience with a biology undergrad yourself. I'm totally on board with you re: there being shit all undergrad jobs. An undergrad biology degree is worse than useless.

Master's degrees face an average job market, and PhDs are in high demand. A direct 30% of science PhD graduates become tenure track professors in few years, a further 30% still find jobs in academia, and private industry snaps up the rest.

In my search of the job market, there was an abundance of positions available, and most only had a few applicants.

The future market prospects for grad students in biological/environmental sciences are extremely good - Unless something does something to discredit the pervasive global warming and pro environmental narrative that's saturated the political landscape (unlikely, really, as even the global cooling scientists in the 70's and 80's immediately found jobs arguing the other side of the coin when they were discredited), then governments are going to continue dumping shitloads of money into research. I'm fortunate enough not to live in Murrica, where scientists lose their jobs every 4/8 years because the republicans got in.

tl;dr: the undergrad and grad job markets are so far removed from each other that you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Really you want to be spending a bit more than that to actually get a machine worth using, my personal recommendation for a beginner would be the Garret Ace 250 which sells for about £190 in the UK on Amazon. The machines don't really depreciate that much so if you find you don't enjoy the hobby you can always sell it later. When I wake up tomorrow I'll see if I can find some of my Spanish coins I traded for some British hammered silver coins a few years ago to give you an idea of what you could find.

It's like here in NZ, any mammal other than bats is introduced and should be killed (people too but it's kind of illegal) because they kill the native animals or eat their food. We use a poison that kills mammals called 1080. It's pretty safe for a poison but for some reason all the hippie lefties rage over it poisoning the water then the hunters rage over it killing the deer and their dogs. Even though pretty much everyone in NZ wanks off over the native birds and 1080 is the only effective method of keeping them alive
