How The Deer Got Its Antler Analysis

The protagonist is excited about the hunting trip, but initiates the event with a sense of innocence and curiosity. Another factor in Andy's willingness to go hunting may be in order to please her father or show that she is capable of doing everything a boy can do. While the hunters spend multiple days searching for game, Andy is the only one who comes in contact with the deer. While the characters hunt in the location where Andy saw the deer, Andy prays that they finally get a deer. On a second occurrence, she comes in contact with a deer. This time, the deer does not run away and stays stationary, grazing in the open. When the hunters finally spot the deer, Andy is asked if she wants to shoot it. Initially, she is frightened by the idea, but collapses under the weight of the peer pressure exerted by the impatience of Charlie and the expectancy of her Father. She finally holds the gun in her hand and aims the gun at the doe's chest area. While her mind began to blank out, she stopped thinking about the fact that she had never shot a living creature before and pulled the trigger. After the shot had been made, the doe eventually fell to the snow covered ground, and was assumed dead. Upon seeing the doe laying on the ground, the hunters walked steadily towards it, congratulating Andy for her clean shot. While

Dillard considers that the deer 'has given up, now it will die,'" yet it "would heave"… and fight for survival despite experiencing torture. Meanwhile, Alan McDonald pessimistically resigns:

As the deer fed at the marsh's edge, it's tail flickering as it nibbled tender and ripe green growth. Then the nervous animal pauses in it's feeding and lifted its head to listen. Whatever hint of danger the deer had sensed was ignored once the threat could not be located. It stamped a forefoot, lowered its head and began to eat once more, this deer had failed to detect a Florida panther that was downwind (going into the wind) crouched low in the underbrush. Amber eyes however, estimated the distance between himself and the deer. Then at the right moment attacked the deer, with bounds at over twenty feet at a time the panther exploded out of the underbrush pouncing on the deer and forcing it to the ground. Within fifteen seconds that

One of the reasons that the author has set up a man and an animal as competitors is that unlike normal circumstances where mankind is on top of the food chain, higher that every other living thing known. In this short story, the man and the polar bear are on approximately the same level of the food chain. As the bear is equipped with claws, the man evens himself out with the spear he had fashioned himself. The author seems write this to portray his question of, is humankind more superior to other living species when having to live in almost the exact same conditions in which the animals live in?

Field dressing is an efficient and easy way to lug the deer back to the vehicle. Making sure the deer is properly field dressed is the first important step. Items that are essential for the proper field dress are a sharp knife, steel for sharpening, nylon cord, several rubber bands, garbage bag and disposable bags. Always remember to use clean instrument. Prop the deer on its back and starting from the back legs, make a cut down to the pelvic bone. Before cutting to the muscle layer, you should peel the skin back. It makes it easier for working around. Make a slit from the jaw bone all the way down to the breast bone, peeling back all the skin and fur. Move up the blade upward and cut through the muscle layer. Cut a hole around the anus and then tie it off.to ensure that ther4e is no spillage.Cut the windpipe and esophagus in two as far up the neck as

It is a breezy Monday afternoon in early October. As I read Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls as an assignment for Ms. Hindman’s class, I slowly look up from the book to check my surroundings. I look to the north, east, and west and see no activity. As I turn my head at a snail-like speed to look south I notice movement. This is it, the reason I go hunting. No, not killing just to kill; I hunt for many reasons but that is definitely not one of them. I gently kick my dad who is lying on the floor of the enclosed stand. He slowly wakes up and cautiously gets into his chair. We see two young deer in a shooting lane about 100 yards south, just at the edge of the woods. Within twenty minutes there are two more in the field. We watch them

The prospector left off surveying the fading sunset and stooped to take up his burden—a short hank of rope run round the neck and forelegs of a slain yearling mule deer. He shifted his old Henry rifle to balance better in his left hand and pulled his load eastward, down the well-worn game trail toward his cabin. Well, toward what would become his cabin. After turning color at last in the creek at the bottom of the canyon, after surveying the place and deciding it was worth a go, he had set to work putting up four walls before he shot a mess of meat. It wouldn't do to draw in a bear without walls to keep it off, at least until he could wake up enough to make a racket and ready his rifle.

A few months later, I found myself riding with Halt back to his quaint little cottage nestled in the woods. He was teaching me about animal tracks. As our horses tread against the snow that lay on the ground, I noticed a massive print next to the cottage, and Halt said it was a giant boar. A man was lying in the bushes and came out to claim that he had seen the boar first hand, and that it was a mad and destructive one. Halt told him to go to the castle and tell the Baron to gather a group of men so that we can all go hunt the boar in the morning. The next day, I found myself on horseback on the outside of a circle of warriors, and Horace. If the boar were to escape through our circle, I was to chase it down and finish it off with my bow.

before they could even come close to the bear. They took a beast of nature to

The foraging habits of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus; hereafter deer) have been extensively researched. Studies have evaluated seasonal influence as well as other environmental influences on forage selection by deer (Moen 1981, Rogers et al. 1981, McCullough 1985, and others). However, no such research has ever tested to determine what senses deer use to locate and select between different food types or the relative importance of each sense involved in that process. We are missing much of the basic knowledge of physiology and anatomy related to the sensory capabilities of deer (D’Angelo et al. 2006). Information from this type of research is becoming increasingly important to wildlife biologists, as they can use it to improve other forage selection studies aimed at reducing crop depredation or other wildlife damage. So little is known about the role of sight, smell, and sound in deer ability to locate and select between forage types, therefore quantitative information in this area of research needs further attention (Sayre et al. 1992). By understanding the importance of each sense in the location and selection of different food types by deer, new studies can be set up that focus on the most important sense, while also considering what effects the other senses have on their behavior. As

First off, you lay the deer on its back. You have to spread the legs apart and dislocate the hip joints if you have to. Then, after you spread the legs apart, you take your knife and start at the butt. You stick your knife in the butt and cut upwards. Do that until you hit the breast bone. The breast bone is usually made up of cartilage and it has a round knob towards the end underneath the neck. Then you take your knife or hatchet and hit the pelvis bone to make the guts from catching on it and tearing them apart. Once you have the belly cut

Evan came from a huge city, where it is quite beautiful and glorious. He wanted to leave the town to embark on an adventure because he wanted to go on an adventure to see what the world had in store for him. He then got his things ready and headed off into the wilderness, leaving the town and his family behind. Afterward, Evan starts to feel great about the decision he has made, even if he bad for leaving his family. He then has to deal with a formidable foe, a fierce bear. Evan and the bear fight each other the most intense battle ever, Evan brings out his sword, and swings at the beast, and deals some good wounds to it. The bear attacks Evan, but Evan dodges the counter strike. Afterward, they both tire each other out with each having some

Surrounding the campus of Lane Community College there is a wide variety of mammals. The diverse population and landscape provides the zoology department with many opportunities to research species and our impact on them. The research group from the previous year placed three game cameras to monitor deer locations in the forest south of campus. They set up one camera near high human traffic closer to campus and the other two game cameras were placed up the hill inside the bush like of a trail and the other further in the forest about 90 yards

As the morning wore on I began to get anxious and fidgety feeling that no deer were going to come. As I was contemplating whether to leave my stand in the field, I recognized two deer grazing peacefully in the middle of the field. I quickly pulled up and looked through my scope and saw nothing but green fuzz. I was so nervous that I had forgotten to readjust the focus on my scope. As I did, the deer saw me move and began to trot away from me and into the protection of the forest. I managed to get my scope in focus in time to see that there was a buck and a doe. My chance had finally come. I was going to get my first Vermont buck. I immediately stood up from my stand and jogged over to where they had entered the woods. Once in the woods, I evaluated the surroundings and had a good
