Hunting Act 2004

In this week’s lesson I, continue my third article reflection on Diagnosing Hunting Rifle Accuracy. In the first two articles I, was shown how to improve a customer’s accuracy. In this article I, reflect on accuracy with rifle scopes. There are many conditions that will impact a shooters accuracy such as; bodily fatigue, weather conditions, equipment and poor shooting fundamentals. I, always get tired of hearing the unbelievable shooting stories that are like fishing and catching a fish that…

“Being brave means to know something is scary, difficult, and dangerous, and doing it anyway, because the possibility of winning the fight is worth the chance of losing it.” This is exactly what a mongoose named Rikki-Tikki-Tavi did. This brave mongoose befriended a young boy named Timmy. While exploring the garden outside of Teddy’s bungalow, Rikki-Tikki kills many snakes that live in the garden. In the book, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and the movie that is based on that book, there are similarities and…

Forest Walk A strange compulsion to walk into the woods washed over me after class one day. Drawn into the woods by an eerie feeling and the whispers on the wind. The birds were chirping with glee as sticks snapped under my weight. The trees surrounding you are like a fortress of solitude for the lonely mind. Deeper yet I traverse and I stumble upon a mystical tree stump. It had blue and green aura around it that was rotating and swirling with sparks coming off. Then I heard a voice, “Come…

BLACK PANTHER, THE GHOST OF THE FOREST Chapter 1: Introduction The black panther is one of the most powerful and smartest animals in the world. It is an aggressive, fearless and strong animal. A black panther is not a member of a specific species but it is a name for some big cats with black coat or fur.

mammals have a nasal horn which consists of a protein called keratin. Rhinos are poached for their horn. In many Asian cultures rhino horn is believed to have magical properties. This has led to the increase in rhino poaching. Rhino poaching is the act of illegally harvesting rhino horn for sale on the black market. Rhinos are killed by poachers as it is easier to harvest the horn from a dead rhino. The increased rhino poaching statistics suggests that the rhino population is decreasing at…

“‘Even so, I rather think [the prey] understand one thing -- fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death,’” said Whitney, a character in the story of The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell. Whitney’s companion, Rainsford, disagrees, saying that the hunted can not think or reason. When the roles are switched, Rainsford learns quickly how it feels to be stalked ceaselessly through the night by one whose only intentions are to capture and kill. As with many famous pieces of literature turned…

Meals from Nature “Hunting as a family is by no means a new tradition. In fact, it used to be one of several traditional American family values(Staff).” Hunting is a normal, almost expected hobby of individuals from the South. Fathers will bring their sons, daughters, and wives along to a large plot of land and appreciate the beauty of the trees and the woodland creatures they’ve immersed themselves in. Equipped with either a bow or a rifle they wait for a mature, healthy buck to walk out into…

Pine trees, and soaring mountains sound you while you are traveling through the trees, with the smell of bitterness and two-stroke fumes fills the air around you. With the ground having a thick blanket of snow, that looks hard but when moved turns to powder. The sight of Elk herds running up ahead, if you are lucky you will catch a glimpse of a mountain lion. We usually go up there for 5 days it takes us just two of those days to get there and back, the car ride usually takes around 10 hours…

I knew that if I didn't go on the trip something would go wrong. After training for weeks on how to throw an atlatl, what angle to throw it, and where to hit the animal. I also learned where to hit certain animals, and how hard to throw it, I also learned how to shoot a bow and arrow. Yesterday, had been my last day to practice and I knew I was ready, I packed food, water, my bow, my atlatl, and my will to succeed. When I was little, I had always dreamed of going on one of these trips, going out…

Hunting has been around since the dawn of time. Having transformed from a vital means of survival to a sporting activity, people have long debated both sides of the issue. While some view hunting as a righteous action, others despise the deed. The argument for hunting as an admirable or distasteful act is still relevant to present society. As seen in the writings of Rick Bass and Robert G. Schreiner through many comparisons and differences, imagery, deeper meanings, stances, and views, the…
