The Beginning

At the beginning of each season all hunters are ready for the kill. Many of them will have an amazing and memorable season. However, the others will have a rough and very disappointing season.

Most of the time people expect that they will kill when the times comes. Unfortunately, they are human, not superman. Lots of them will buckle under pressure and will miss the prized shot. Although some will get lucky and shoot the trophy sized buck. This includes both bow and rifle. Missed shots can easily be avoided if people practice.

    ALTHOUGH RESEARCH CONFIRMS that the whitetail rut takes place at almost the exact same time every year, most hunters know that the rut’s intensity varies from day to day. As much as your head spins with the mental images of scrapes, full moons, rubs, monster bucks, and rut-crazed chase scenes, the best times to be in the woods will rarely coincide with calendar anniversaries. Through years of personal experience and research gathered from other hunters, Cory Wiedel is one of the most accomplished whitetail hunters. He has taken 11 Boone and Crockett– class bucks in the past six years, and he places a priority on going after his scouted target bucks only when he recognizes that the conditions are favorable. “There are certain weather-related…

    Each step is precise, each movement fluid, and every sense awake, ready. The hunter is alive, adrenaline coursing through his blood. Rustling leaves scream his prey’s hiding place.

    In her book, The Hunting Season: Immigration and Murder in an All-American Town, Mitra Ojito describes in detail the story of the murder of Marcelo Lucero, who was murdered after being cornered by a group of teenage boys in a small town in New York. Starting with the title itself and continuing throughout the entire book, Ojito employs comparison and contrast to establish characters, set the tone, and present every side of this terrible situation. Though the situation perhaps begs for a scapegoat, for a villain, someone to place blame on and dismiss in order to avoid digging deeper, Ojito refuses this option and instead commits, mainly through the use of juxtaposition, to a truthful examining of the years of hatred, misconceptions, and opposing…

    It is impossible for a white person in the novel to understand the effects of slavery. They cannot feel the pain behind the experience and what it does to a person. For example, it is impossible for some white people to understand why Sethe killed her child. They put her in jail for it, yet perhaps somebody who has experienced slavery could understand her reasoning behind it. This excerpt touches not only on this subject, but also the inability for a white man to admit to his part in slavery in both metaphorical and visual ways.…

In an area with a scarcity of readily available food and resources, it is critical that the hunters can identify an opportunity and take it. Before the start of winter for example, they tried to catch as much fish as possible before the river froze. Though raw material isn’t necessarily scarce in the taiga, obtaining supplies is difficult.…

    Hunt for the Wilderpeople Film Taika Waititi ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ is about a young troubled adolescent boy, named Ricky. After years of being thrown around countless foster homes at the age of 13 years old, Ricky feels he has found himself a stable family environment. But with a disturbance in the family and his backyard being hundreds of miles worth of native bush, troubles arise and he finds himself running from authorities, as they are on a manhunt after suspecting Ricky has been kidnapped. Two main themes which stood out to me as a Maori viewer living between my two parents homes were how stereotypical barriers create an image for people in today’s society and how ‘family’ influence a child’s development growing up. I felt close to Ricky as he is the perfect portrayal of a young Maori boy..…
