In my opinion, Kristof’s slightly humorous tone is informal, but not inappropriate for his essay because it’s an obvious attention grabber. It’s nearly impossible to lose the reader’s attention from start to finish. In addition, his tone adds to his persona. Kristof confidently presents his ideas, examples, and opinions.

Zaroff looks at hunting humans for his own self interest, while Rainsford looks at it from a selfless view for the human population and thinks…

attempt to load the gun without making a sound. As I hold the rifle up and aim at the buck, my heart feels like it is going to burst out of my chest. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in...BOOM! I watch as all the deer jump startled and confused. All wildlife disappears; I'm left wondering if I shot the buck well enough that it is lying dead along the tree line. I text my dad to tell him I got one and wait for about thirty minutes to ensure the buck is dead. As my dad pulls up in an ATV, I climb…

Why is it required? Hunter safety is a very important course that all hunters need to take. When they reach the age of 16 it is required, and must be handy at all times while hunting. This is to help ensure his/her safety, other people’s safety, and future generations ability to hunt. This means so other people will lease their lands to responsible and smart hunters. If hunters were careless then hunting grounds would be very hard to come by. 98% of Kansas’s lands are privately owned. So it is…

This is either for the benefit of finding a better property, somewhere closer to home, or they are new to hunting and just need somewhere to hunt. Regardless of the reason, there are several ways to obtain hunting property all with their own pros and cons. Those looking for hunting land might just find that a lease is their best option. To hunt on a property one must either own the land, lease the land, or have…

As I sit in the duck blind early in the morning watching the fog lift off the clear water or in the deer stand through the brisk, harsh coldness of the winters Wisconsin has to offer many ask me why I hunt.

As I grew up spending more and more time in…
