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…

A majority of the bear is not used and is therefore unethical and immoral. Overall, grizzly bear trophy hunting is argued to be controlled and not threatening to the species, but also, a threat and morally unethical. In conclusion, grizzly bears should not be trophy hunted. I believe this because even though the government and wildlife protection groups claim that it will not become a threat, they do not account for everything. It is also immoral and unethical.…

Wow! The two kids in the narrative essay “The Great Buffalo Hunt” were little rebels, hesitant about going into the first grade, ran away to become “Mountain Men” ,that were depicted in their children’s book, that do not shower or bathe, and of course no school. It kind of amazes me that they both were gone for four days and went over twenty miles. It is also funny, however, they both packed “duffle bags the size of adolescent whales” The writing of this paper is great and it really grabbed my attention, wondering what would happen next. The conclusion of this paper was also very interesting, as he put it they both were sentenced as fugitives.…
Hunting, as fishing, is an enormous hobby among Americans for centuries. The most common hunting is the hunt of deer, geese, depending on the area you are located even bears. However, men have decided to take the hunting game to another level by hunting bigger and exotic animals, such as lions and other animals located in conservations. In the article “Big Game Hunting”, explains the death of Cecil the lion, appoints locations with the highest rate of Big Game Hunting, when the game had its start, the five most hunted animals and their costs, and how hunting in conservations began to happen. Animals, as humans, have their rights and deserve to be treated fairly; the fact that they are animals does not give any human the right to assassinate…
If, like me, you are fortunate enough to be able to hunt quality public land for whitetail deer throughout the Midwest and other areas throughout the country, you know the excitement and thrill that it can provide. I’m sure you are questioning my choice of words for the opening statement. I assure you I meant what I said. “Fortunate” and “public land” do not find themselves in the same sentence very often. Public land gets a bad rap, sometimes it is deserved and other times it certainly is not.…
Anything that has to do with the outdoors and engineering is something that i can get lost in thought in for hours. The simple act of hearing a short story of someone's personal outdoor experience can entice my attention for hours and hours on end. Hunting especially as the sport is absolutely incredible. One must have a superb amount of skill and focus for hours on end in order to actually get the prize. They become one with their instruments of fire and steel in the silence of nature, blending in with their surroundings in order to hide their humanity.…
The Highs and Lows in Life The crisp, cold mornings- the ones where you have to wear five layers of clothes to stay partially warm; those are the days I live for. Actually, I have lived for days like those since I was three. There has never been anything more relaxing than being surrounded by nature, on the beautiful Earth God created for us. Anytime I get the chance to be in the serenity of the woods, I am there.…
It’s counterintuitive, but banning the practice would mean the systematic slaughter of wildlife, trampling of unique ecosystems, and possible extinction of rare species. Sacrificing a quota of lions to hunters keep many other alive(Anderson and Downey).Basically, pro-hunters, believe that it is good for the ecosystem to kill these certain animals such as lions or elephants. They believe that killing these animals is ethical because it is maintaining the populations for other species that these predators might eat. But if they are killing off these predators then the other species will just end up over populating…
A study on the economic benefit behind the lion hunting in Africa concluded, “The suggestion that trophy hunting plays a significant role in African economic development is misguided…Revenues constitute only a fraction of a percent of GDP and almost none of that ever reaches rural communities.” (Croswell) The actions that hunters make by killing animals for pleasure does not help conservation in the wild and all it does is create issues. It also leads to the extinction of a species which can create a problem in the animal…
