Red-tailed Hawk

For many years in the south, dog hunters have had to fight for their right to hunt whitetail deer using dogs. The people who are against whitetail deer hunting with dogs are people who are being and have been affected by the activity. The arguments made by the people outside of the hunting clubs all virtually have the same ideas. These ideas are based particularly on dog abuse, trespassing by both dogs and hunters, and the reckless behavior some hunters possess. As rural communities continue to…

someone is looking for something low in fat and cholesterol, game is a delicious and healthy alternative to many other red meats” (“Why Eat Game”). Animals in the wild tend to be more active than animals kept in small feeding barns. Meat is leaner on animals that are more active. “Venison is high in protein, low in saturated fatty acids and contains higher levels of iron than any other red meat” (“Why Eat Game”). “Pheasant and partridge also contain a high level of iron, protein, vitamin B and…

population at a controlled rate. It is estimated there are at least 7 million Canada geese present. To help limit deer damage they allow them to be hunted under certain permits. Over the past 30 years, especially the past decade, populations of white-tailed deer have increased dramatically throughout the Northeast (Paul D. Curtis 1). The white tail deer when from 20,000 to more than a million. This could be harmful to both humans and other deer’s because with a population increase like that…

provided for me, anxiously waiting for my time to prove that I really could be a hunter. I set my .270 in the corner and sat there patiently waiting for the sun to rise. Watching the sun rise over the horizon was breathtaking. The sky was a collage of reds, oranges, and yellows. Now that it was somewhat light out, I really had to start paying attention, which can be a very hard thing to do that early in the morning. Lets just say my dad had to make sure I was still awake several different…

If, like me, you are fortunate enough to be able to hunt quality public land for whitetail deer throughout the Midwest and other areas throughout the country, you know the excitement and thrill that it can provide. I’m sure you are questioning my choice of words for the opening statement. I assure you I meant what I said. “Fortunate” and “public land” do not find themselves in the same sentence very often. Public land gets a bad rap, sometimes it is deserved and other times it certainly is…

The ground was shaking. I stood still for a brief moment. It was a herd buffalo running towards a cliff. They were running through the field, as if it was away from someone. I took a second glance and saw that it was my people which the buffalo were running away from. Everyone that was in my band was chasing after the buffalo, including my daughter. Had I known that they were going on a hunt I would have gone with them. It was in that moment that I knew something didn’t feel right. In Alberta,…

A study done in Laskeek Bay on East Limestone and Reef Island looked at the effect of Sitka-black tailed deer on the Sitka spruce tree. The study found that while the deer do like to browse the younger spruce seedlings, once the apex of the tree exceeds 1.2 m in height, the tree is able to escape the deer (Vila, Torre, Guibal & Martin, 2003a). However…

Ascham Analysis The observations of the sixteenth century scholar Roger Ascham examine the strangeness of winds that Ascham was able to observe through a snowfall. The purpose behind Toxophilus, the book in which this appears in is archery, which was a very important subject back in the ages of hunting for food. Ascham likely wrote about this experience in the snow to examine the intricacies of wind and how it can affect arrow accuracy, because arrow accuracy could’ve meant the difference…

“tomboy,” what almost defeated me was a simple strawberry. When I was young, strawberries were one of my favorite snacks. After all, who could resist munching on delicious, bright-red strawberries? I once took on great four-legged beast. I was young and going through the best years of my life eating sweat and delicious, bright red strawberries. They gave me strength. Then one day I went to 4-H Achievement Day, a day where every 4-H member has to show his or her talents to the judges. I went…
