Hunting Act 2004

the dawn of time, humans have practiced the right to hunt whitetail deer to control the deer’s population growth rate. However, animal rights groups and pacifists alike are trying to take that right away from the American people. Not only does hunting have an enormous impact on the American lifestyle, but also gives the common people (including myself) a chance to observe and help maintain the wildlife and its environment. Recently, those opposed to this idea have started to conduct…

to the serious danger some animals are in, and the culprit for these animals nearing extinction is in fact humans. For many years the human species has been killing off animals for sometimes no other reason than the thrill they feel when they are hunting down one of these majestic beasts, and there are many ways to stop people from committing genocide. Firstly, we could learn to better educate people about the effects of poaching on their environment, and ways they can help these animals instead…

cautious of what others might think of him. Tacit/implicit assumptions can be found in Kristof’s essay. For example, Kristof states “These days, among the university-educated crowd in the cities, hunting is viewed as barbaric.” He uses the assumption that educated people believe the act of hunting is barbaric to explain why people in the cities are trying find other…

this moment I realized how beautiful nature is when the outside world is a distant memory, and all we need to do is take advantage of the little things life gives us and never stress the big ones too much. Early that morning I woke up to go deer hunting. It was as dark as a room with no lights or windows. There was no moon and the stars were very dull.

The Archers Paradox What is it? Have you ever heard the term “Straight as an arrow”? Well, this isn’t exactly accurate. Arrows don’t exactly fly straight, they twist and bend as they fly. When you draw back and release your bowstring the large force of kinetic energy stored in the limbs gets transferred into the arrow and this force causes the spine of the arrow to start bending as it gets pushed forward. The archer’s paradox is this bending of the arrow around the bow as it is being loosed…

Florida panthers can be found in prairies, swamps, and forests. They need an abundance of water and food as well as places with lots of shading or cover: such as Dens and Palmetto thickets.

The everglades provides plenty of the wildlife that make up the panthers…

sunlight. Maybe I could look even deeper into nature and possibly see the itty bitty intermolecular forces that kept a spiderweb intact. Brought back into reality, I spot brown fur laying on the ground. I run over and sure enough, it's my trophy buck. Hunting, while great for bragging rights and showing off skills, allows me to dive deeper into nature and understand the meaning of…
