Hunting And Fishing: My American Experience

As soon as we were done we went to play in the freezing water, climb on some old trees that fell, and fixed up our ples to fish. We all kept getting stabbed by the sharp hooks and lures everywhere.

It happened when I was a first-semester senior in high school. I do not remember the exact day, time, or what the weather was like, but I remember the moment.

All week at school all Dan thought about was his uncle coming up and going fishing. It was saturday a week after his older brother Dean shot a deer, and his uncle was up. Dan asked his uncle if he wanted to go fishing. His uncle said

Everyone kills, and everyone eats. Not everyone eats what they kill, but these remain two of the most intimate forms of communing with our environment, whether we recognize them as such, or not. Almost 40 000 Americans are killed each year as the result of homicidal, accidental, and suicidal uses of guns; in all, Americans wielding guns intimidate, wound, and kill hundreds of thousands every year. These were the kinds of ideas impressed upon me as I grew up in my urban home: Guns were beasts, as were knives, arrows, spears, indeed anything could become a weapon if held in a particular way. We sprayed each other with the hose instead of water guns, and spent many long hours as a family "communing with nature" through long walks on the

disagreed upon for various reasons, the effects of hunting have been and will continue to

In around the second grade I had just moved schools. Around mid-year we had our school talent show. I really wanted to be in it, but I was still young and I was a little scared. I remember

When you hear the word archery, what do you think of? Archery can mean a wide range of things to different people. All the way from what was used in the middle ages to conquer kingdoms to what they used last weekend to harvest an animal. In this essay I am going to elucidate about how archery has evolved over the years. The bow and arrow have been around in history longer than most people realize. Ever since around 64,000 years ago archery equipment has evolved a considerable amount. On the other hand, some would debate that the bow and arrow basics have not changed since 64,000 years ago. So, have we truly evolved the bow and arrow or have we simply improved the materials we use to construct them. This is a question I hope you will be able

Hunting and fishing have been a part of the past and present of America and all around the world for as far back as the world dates. As far back as we can date, people have always hunted and fished. Back then they needed to because people need food to survive. Now hunting and fishing are starting to become sports. You may think that hunting and fishing can harm the environment, but there are many positive things about them. Hunting and fishing can have some positive effects and negative effects on the environment and economy, so if you don’t really agree with hunting and fishing maybe these facts will change your mind.

I was 9 years old when my mom came to with a question she had. She made it sound really serious, I thought something horrible happened. When she finally got to the question it turned out to be amazing! She asked me if I wanted and was okay with moving to Florida. Of course me being 9 thought it was such exciting news. I obviously said yes, but a few months later made me regret my decision.

It was the summer before my fourth grade year. I was nine years old, and just like any other stereotypical nine year old, I decided I was responsible enough to own my

Hunting is a normal, almost expected hobby of individuals from the South. Fathers will bring their sons, daughters, and wives along to a large plot of

Deer hunting is always a great time especially when you get a deer. I was feeling lucky when my sister and I went out hunting on a saturday evening. The weather was typical fall weather. The air was crisp and clean, the sky was blue and the birds were chirping. I was getting a little hot in my hunting clothes though when we walked out to the stand which was a bad start to the hunt.

As a St. James middle school boy, I was all about hunting, even though I hadn’t ever been. My dad, being the awesome guy that he is, said he’d take me if I genuinely wanted to go. Little did I know, my dad had been studying up for this on YouTube because he knew the worst part comes after you shoot a deer and have to clean it. He watched video after video learning how to properly clean a deer before you take it to a shop for it to be processed. The only thing that I knew I wanted to do was shoot a deer!

My brother started hunting when he was around 12 or 13 years old with my dad and I was too young to hunt. It all started with only being able to go out with them and watch them shoot deer, rabbits, turkey, and birds. I was always anxious to be able to

Although less than 5 percent of the U.S. population hunts, hunting is permitted in many wildlife refuges, national forests, and state parks and on other public lands3 where almost half of all hunters slaughter and maim millions of animals every year (by some estimates, poachers kill just as many animals illegally).(4,5) The vast majority of hunters do not kill for subsistence.(6)
