Bannock, known for being a huge staple to the Indigenous Peoples diets, this simple unleavened bread could be prepared in little time and kept well. *It is believed that bannock originally found its way to North America with Scottish fur traders between the 18th and 19th century. Scottish people prepared their loaves, using barley, oatmeal, or peameal. Frying it in a griddle, also known as a bannock stone, the loaf was left to cook near the bottom of a fire. Many of the First Peoples loved…

I agree with the rights of trophy hunting, i think it should go on so that the animals won't die from not being killed. “The industry provides conservation incentives and revenue streams to communities well beyond the tourist trail” (Dymoke, 2016). This is what the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, stipulates and it's unquestionable that money from trophy hunting has made a positive impact in many areas. Some of the people who are against it would argue about the killing…

Each week is filled with school, homework and practice, but on the weekends, I head to the woods where nothing is ever predictable. Each Saturday and Sunday, I get up early and make my way to the camp. It does not matter if it is turkey, squirrel or deer season, I have always had a pure love of hunting. For me, there is no better feeling than the adrenaline rush you get when a trophy animal finally emerges itself in the clear which creates a perfect and clean shot. Some of my best memories…

Trophy Deer Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep. This is the sound our alarm clock made at 4:30 on the morning of November 24, 2015. It was opening day of Illinois shotgun season (deer season) and my dad and I could not be more excited about our hunt! I checked the weather on my phone to determine the amount of clothing I should wear. The weather app said it was in the low 20s, so we needed to wear many layers. I went out to start the truck to warm it up and about 5 minutes later, we were headed out! The…

For my animal performance scene I was a reindeer. The biggest strengths that I had for my scene was my movement, portrayal of eating, and display of the prey-like nature of a reindeer. During research I learned that a reindeer walks heavily but also spry. I properly conveyed this concept in my scene by leaping from leg to leg, making sure to lead with my knees when I was in the air and to place my weight on my leading foot when I landed. Since reindeer eat grass and shrubs that is often buried…
