The Deer Hunter

Shawn Halderman Hensley English 11/First period 07 Febuary 2017 Part 4: Setting/Atmosphere The setting of the story is a couple miles away from Cincinatti, OH. In this story, it is in a forest in that area. There in the forest was a cabin which is where Murlock lived. And I am going to have to say or guess that the cabin was way out of the suburbs where there was a lot of land. So they might have been in the country. For where Murlock?s cabin is, it would be symbolic to say that based on that,…

Forestry Supervisor It was 1997 when I first started working in Tribal Forestry for the Yakama Nation. Tribal Forestry is comprised of the Forest Development Crew, Fire Management Crew, Fuels Crew, and the Timber Stand Examiners whom all help manage the Yakama Nation’s forested area. All the crews combined have around 100 people whom are Foresters, Fire Fighters, Tree Fallers, Tree Markers, Heavy Equipment Operators, and the supervisors. The employees come together to form a cross-functional…

Prey need peripheral vision to survive, they need it to be able to see predators so they won’t get eaten. Peripheral vision is a wide horizontal range of vision found on prey that ranges from 290-310 degrees, leaving them with a 50 degree blind spot, with horses as one of the only exceptions because they have a 350 degree horizontal range. but they do not have the depth perception and focus that predators might have, because of predators tunnel vision. You can tell if they are predators or prey…

...“It’ll be almost impossible this time”, said the Fox, “but I'll try” ; and off he went to the wood a second time, this time the fox is trying to be nice and compassionate to the Stag because he know that the lion is going to kill the stag. So, when he found the Stag resting and trying to recover from his fright, he become compassionate he know the feeling when someone is going to kill him. As soon as he saw the Fox he cried, “You scoundrel, what do you mean by trying to lure me to my death…

have all supported a policy of “intensive management” with the goal of boosting moose and caribou numbers for hunters. The profits generated by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) through the sale of tags and permits to hunters has made the necessity of protecting these animals not a priority. I applaud the initiative of the US Fish and Wildlife Service ruling that “hunters will not be allowed to conduct “predator control” in Alaska’s vast national refuges unless there are…

I remember waking up that morning as my best buddy Chevy stares right at me from the floor beside the bed. He already knew we were going hunting that day. He stayed up all night anticipating this day since he saw me getting our gear together the night before. Unaware of what was to transpire that day, we proceeded to go through the ritual of a normal duck hunting day. Creeping around the house, trying not to wake up the girls, we slipped outside to warm up the truck. Although it wasn’t much…

Aldo Leopold was a great conservationist and scientist, one to be believed as the greatest conservation talker even. After graduating college with a Masters degree in forestry, he dedicated his life to many aspects of nature. He wanted people to understand that nature should thrive and that people can be a part of it - within reason. His time to shine was when many natural resources were depleted and the environment was lacking qualities that it should have. Aldo was born on January 11, 1887 in…

Dove Hunt It was a warm morning in Kansas. Trees were swaying but the only noise you could here was the beating of small wings on humid air. Across the field a hunter fired at a dove flying overhead, sending a clear message to all. Game on. Every possible sense was heightened, touch, the feel of the turkish wood stock, the cold steel of the receiver, the rubber butt stock pressed agaist my shoulder. Smell, the sunflowers behind us, the gunpowder left in the air. Sight, trees all over, birds…

The black bear is the smallest of the North American bears (“Be”, 2012). It has small eyes and ears are well-rounded. The Black Bear has 42 teeth: 12 incisors, 4 canines, 16 premolars and 10 molars. They weigh on average of 300 to 400 pounds (the female considerably less), they stand 27 to 36 inches high at the shoulder. There is an estimated number of 600,000 black bears in North America. How would you properly take care of a black bear in captivity? If you are wanting to own a black bear…

A deer is known to have many traits, like gentleness and acrobaticness. I could be considered having both. I also feel connected to deer somehow, especially with our 3-legged deer around my house. It is such a coincidence that my birthday is in early June, which is the deer month. It is cool how accurate this is! Some of the traits the deer spirit animal is known to have are gentleness, acrobaticness, gracefulness, and musical. I always try to have a smile on my face. I am known to have gentle…
