I have always been brought up on the experiences of hunting. It was just the thing to do where I am from. Coming from a small town in southern Louisiana, friends and family made it a thing to do to bond and enjoy. Hunting is a way to create friendships that will last a lifetime. This happens because hunting is universal. It can be shared between different cultures, races, and countries. I personally have made many friends while I’m sitting down on a cold blind with a mug of coffee sharing stories.

(Yarrow 1) Animal space is key for a population to thrive. This is why hunting is a crucial thing to stabilizing a population. When a deer is harvested, it takes that gene out of the gene pool for that area. Hunting basically keeps a wildlife area at a sustainable number of individuals from one generation to the next. This helps with overgrazing and habitat destruction. (Gibbons 1) The definition of stabilizing is to maintain at a given or fluctuating level. (dictionary.com) When a population is stabilized, it is working in perfect harmony with the environment and that is what we are aiming for. So, hunting is the best way to stabilize a population. It is the best to have a ration of two females to one male. It does not always happen, but it is the best way to try and make that happen. Another reason to try and keep populations at a sustained level is the amount of food for the animals. Hunting food plots do give food to animals, but if the populations are too big, the animals will begin to die of starvation. This is not what we want.

Biologist will scout land along with researching the amount of breeding done and how many offspring were produced. This helps with making limits for hunting. This also helps with keeping the populations healthy so that we do not take to many animals away. By just harvesting what you need, it allows for a great time in the field and for many memories to be made. It also allows for us to view nature as something
