The Appreciable Effects of Ethical Hunting There is one place that I love to be to get away from the hustle and bustle of society. In this place I am perfectly content, and don’t have to think about anything that is stressing me out. Every weekend during late Fall and mid-Winter I try to go out hunting deer as much as I possibly can. Something is just so relaxing and stress relieving about being in the middle of the timber or on the edge of a cornfield while I just wait and watch. I can start early in the morning, when the crisp, cool winter air bites at my lungs as I make a long trek out into the deep dark to my favorite spot.

Ethical hunting is respect for nature and all it provides for humans; it is for the better of the environment while also using nature’s resources. Not only is it good for the human body and soul, but also it is good for nature itself with all of the conservation practices that hunting envelops. Ethical hunting is a positive aspect of life because of the beneficial human health effects such as creating memories, creating humans themselves, teaching valuable lesson, and making connections;
