The Deer Hunter

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…

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…

Is Hunting Safe for Deer? The organization, IDA also known as In Defense of Animals, believes that hunting causes problems for the environment and for the deer that are being killed, while other people argue that hunting causes no problems for deer. IDA’s arguments suggest that hunters only kill for sport, and kill too many deer. They also suggest that deer do not have capabilities of defending themselves when a hunter has a firearm at hand. In order to stop the negativity of organizations like…

this outrageous organization (PETA) can be overturned by factual information as was done here. The reason hunters have become so angered by the claims of PETA is because to them hunting is a way of life. There has been plenty of instances where, when someone messes with another’s way of life a feud begins between the two. As stated above, this way of life, hunting is not the root cause of: deer induced vehicular car crashes, troublesome young people, cruelty to animals, nor unpracticed…

Hunters encounter a huge amount of physical activity when they have to set and check their traps every day. No matter what is being hunted, hunters are always on the move. “Hunters are busy preparing blinds, tending food plots, scouting the woods, and some even dog training” (Abram). Hunters may have to walk miles to find the perfect place to set up their blind. Many hunters plant food plots to attract their intended game. Food plots usually…

HAUNT Paranormal was founded by three women, Jennifer Woodward-Proffitt, Adrienne Harless, and Ashley Sturgill on June 13, 2005. Since then, these fearless females have led their team of paranormal investigators through St. Albans on several occasions. It was on one of these occasions that several members of the team were witness to the manifestation of a shadow person. This anomaly presented itself on the first floor of the building, near the women’s isolation ward. “The team had just left…

Science fiction could be described as a realm of fantasy in which the possibilities of the future are explored and the past is rewritten but are there other reasons as well? Authors of this genre write science fiction novels for varying reasons, some might write science fiction for the enjoyment and pleasing of an audience with their imagination or others like Phillip K. Dick might do it to share and explain their philosophical ideas. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" not only entertains its…

A particular quote which would be unfair not to mention: “A hundred malnourished farmers can out fight one healthy hunter” (Diamond, 1999) should not be overlooked as a mere analogy. For it serves as much as an explanation and as a tool to put into perspective why many hunter-gatherers ceased their lifestyle after the ice age concluded. His analysis of the disadvantages of agriculture is not only validated by present day examples such as the Bushmen…

choose from so I chose one that would turn out to be one of my favorite series I have ever read. It was about an amateur bounty hunter hired by her cousin to make ends meet after she was laid off. The bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum, is from a large Italian family and is seen having multiple love interests with a cop that she grew up with and a professional bounty hunter. As we listened to the suspense and drama that the character goes through that book had me hooked and forever instilled my love…
