Hunting

Dean has just turned 12 and his dad had promised him that once he turned twelve years old he could go hunting for his first deer. So that day they went out on their property and scouted for deer. When they went scouting they spotted a big buck and his dad said, “That’s the one we’re going to get tomorrow.” The next morning Dean and his dad woke up early in the morning and got all their hunting gear around and made their way into the woods. When they finally made it to the spot where they saw…

volunteer as tribute!” When Primrose gets picked in the reaping, Katniss volunteers for her little sister. I found this very brave and heartwarming. The fact that she sacrificed herself for Primrose is beautiful. Hunting, in District 12, is illegal. However, Katniss risks her life by hunting for food, so that her family has something to eat or to sell. Again, the importance of family is portrayed through Katniss’ actions. The idea of fighting, suffering and death, as entertainment disgusts…

“Are those …bullet holes?” Chase asked, as he dug into his pocket for his truck keys. The two cousins Chase and Jason were on their first hunting expedition after Jason got back from his tour in Iraq. When the two were in high school they would come to the same place and hunt every year. As they grew older, the tradition was often pushed off because of work or family responsibilities. However this year, the men had planned the trip months in advance after a grim discussion about how they are…

abundance (1500 – 1849), in which wild game was numerous and the mindset of the people was that of sustained harvest of foods and furs. In this time period, there was almost an entire absence of any systematic natural resource management. Only some hunting restrictions were put in place, but hunters just expanded the areas in which they hunted because the game was still plentiful and unrestricted there. There was no need for game reserves or wildlife at this time. Peoples of the American…

whole section of the island and a little boy died because of it. Ralph agrees the hunters need to get food for everyone to survive but he disapproves of their obsession with hunting until he joins them and has an amazing time. Ralph throws his spear at a pig and, “he stunned himself in their new respect and felt that hunting was good after all.” (Golding 124). Ralph earns the respect of all the older boys when he hits the pig because he has participated in what they like to spend all their…

Did you know that thousands of animals are being illegally hunted every year? This is called poaching. People kill animals without a hunting license or out of season. About 5 thousand animals are poached every year. Many species of animals go extinct every decade because of poaching. One solution to animal poaching is by increasing the amount of wildlife officers. If you increase the amount of wildlife officers you will probably get more coverage around the state. More coverage means that…

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the boys’ actions are a manifestation of the inner savagery of an individual that surfaces when the society that they belong to has fallen. This is shown on page 181 through Jack’s violence towards Ralph after Piggy’s death. “The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Viciously, with full intention, he hurled his spear at Ralph”(181). Jack expresses antagonism towards…

mimic of the original book. Through this essay I will describe a few of the differences and similarities between the book and movie version of this enthralling heart squeezing story. First, in the original book, Billy won the hunting competition with his dogs. He went hunting and soon after heading out, a blizzard struck. Although this blizzard detail was accurate, the movie did not keep true to all of the books details. One of these being that, in the movie, Billy did not win the contest and…

years’ experience from possum trapping, venison hunting and working with tourists for 30 years, says that he has witnessed first-hand the disgust of tourists when they discover that we use this poison. People like Peter and other hunters and farmers who occupy their time outside in the environment and are directly affected because the use of 1080 can interfere with their daily activities and jobs. It can affect activities such as tramping, hunting and tramping as these are common recreational…

Another reason culls are not an effective and an inhumane solution to control deer populations is the sheer idea of its inhumanity by people. It can leave communities stained from the enormous amounts of massacred deer, can become a hazard for public safety, and it places a lot of stress on the deer populations. One article states that the violence and blood that comes out of such brutal culls leaves terrible impressions on the reputation of the town (“Deer killed…”). When communities announce…
