What makes the value of a human’s life greater compared to an elk’s life or a fly’s life or even a plant’s life? All life is sacred and equal; many people do not see things this way. Many people have not taken the time to contemplate the idea. Many people have not taken the time to contemplate hunting. Since humans can go to the market for all that an animal could provide, is it even necessary? The answer is yes. Though hunting involves taking a life, it is a useful tool to have; it is good for the Earth’s health; it is more ethical and healthy than factory farming, and it connects the soul with nature. Hunting is a necessary skill for many different scenarios; it may be found useful in minor or drastic times. If for any reason, food is scarce, there is not a way as rewarding as hunting for food personally because it is certainly not an easy task. The meat is fresh and with proper execution from kill to cook, then that’s some good feed right there. Hunting can save money on food as well. The native Americans were big on using every material of their hunted animals (mainly bison) which is very respectful; the most important part of the hunt is the thanks. A good way to give it is by not letting anything go to waste, which can also be very serviceable on a survival mission. The materials can be used for countless duties. With good crafting skills, many different tools can be made from certain animal remains. Not every material will always come from the animal alone, but
In America, deer are an animal hunted widely throughout our country. Each winter citizens have mixed emotions about the sport. Some say its barbaric and cruel, while others argue that it’s beneficial and useful. Although people may say hunting is cruel and barbaric, have they ever thought about the upsides to be gained from hunting? While this is a topic that can be argued viciously back and forth, I believe hunters win the argument. Deer hunting keeps the population down, protects farmers’ crops, boosts economic sales, betters a person’s mental health, and teaches lifelong lessons on respect. These are just a few of the amazing benefits that can be gained from hunting.

“Hunting and racing are a lot alike. Holding that steering wheel and holding that rifle both mean you better be responsible.”-Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt’s quote is saying like racing, hunting requires safety. Before the hunt can ever happen there are safety precautions that must be learned. Hunting safety is essential to protect not only the hunter but also the community. People fall victim to hunting accidents every year due to not practicing proper firearm or hunting blind safety.
Austin R. King English 11 Mr. Johnson 7 May 2018 Should Deer Hunting Season be Extended Deer hunting came around several thousands years ago in the states. It has provided a great source of food, clothing, and household items. After a buck has been hunted, you can use the antlers for handles, knives and multiple other things. The evolution of hunting has come a long way over the last few decades because of the inventions of guns and cannon nets.
Wouldn’t someone want the right to rifle hunt in Iowa if they a had rifle? Many hunters in the State of Iowa own rifles and can’t use them due to the DNR regulations/laws for rifle hunting. Although rifle hunting in Iowa is illegal, the hunters of Iowa should be able to use rifles because many hunters have them, it’s a more convenient way to hunt, and it’s a cheaper way of hunting.
“For some, hunting is a hobby for me it is a passion” by picgran. People should understand hunting because it's been in the world for over centuries. If you love to have your blood pumping with adrenaline you should hunt. Archaeologists have unearthed what could be the earliest evidence of ancient human ancestors hunting and scavenging meat. Animal bones and thousands of stone tools used by ancient hominins suggest that early human ancestors were butchering and scavenging animals at least 2 million years ago.
The reason that I would like to run a duck lodge and guide duck hunts is because duck hunting is what I am most passionate about.
Anybody feel like voluntarily waking up at the crack of dawn just to sit in the middle of the woods in a blind and probably see nothing for hours on end? Wait, what if I add that it’ll be in the middle of winter so the temperature will not only be freezing, but you’ll also have a frost bite approved wind slapping at your face? No takers? I figured that would be the response. You’d be surprised though, because when I was around five or six years old freezing temperatures and being stranded in the woods sounded like paradise, especially with my best friend, my Dad, was right there with me.
Have any of you hunters out there experienced a drought in the deer during the season? All those bucks appearing on the trail camera, too soon just disappear. Yes, it could be due to the fact that they stumbled upon coyote territory, or maybe discovered a new field to feast upon, but one of the major reasoning is as a result of the Youth Hunt. For a low price, youth hunters under the age of 10 can hunt all species before the beginning of hunting season. The prioritized species though is the deer that roam the forest. Youth hunters go out with their fathers or mentors and take a chance at a buck of a lifetime .The youth hunt has lead to many deficits such as decline in the buck population, while the doe population is gradually increases. In addition, youth hunters will interval until any buck comes along and more than ever the “buck” ends up being an immature deer that was unable to reach its full potential. Furthermore, in most cases it isn’t even the youth shooting these deer! The father, or the mentor of the youth hunter, are the ones squeezing the trigger! Lastly, mature hunters are withdrawing from deer hunting because they believe that it’s unfair that the youth go out hunting, aiming to shoot a buck of great size, but consequently shoot any living deer that crosses their path. In addition, most of those deer presume to be immature bucks that are at the beginning point of their life and are unable to expose their potential.
Hunting is a sport that men and women around the world have enjoyed for centuries. However, today there is so much controversy over whether it is ethical or beneficial for animals to be hunted. People who do not support hunting are not aware of the benefits it offers for not only the hunter, but also the animal population. There are hunting seasons, specific types of guns the hunters can use, the time sportsmen can hunt, and many other rules that keep sportsmen from hunting unfairly or overhunting. Sportsmen must buy license and tags to hunt legally, which keeps many people from hunting. The people who go against these regulations face heavy fines and in some cases, jail time. People who do not support hunting probably are not aware that because
Hunting is the practice of pursuing wildlife in order to kill it. Individuals who hunt do so for a variety of reasons while wildlife activists oppose hunters’ views and practices. Many people in rural areas of the United States hunt in order to harvest lean, organic, healthy meat for personal consumption. Some individuals hunt because it is tradition and a significant part of their heritage. Others choose to hunt as a means to escape the ins and outs of a chaotic society while taking in the serenity of the great outdoors in a therapeutic manner. Some hunters enjoy hunting for the thrill and the challenge of the chase. Other reasons people hunt include trophy hunting, travel to exotic locations, spending quality time with family and friends, and wildlife conservation. Individuals who are against hunting typically argue that hunting is inhumane and is considered cruelty to animals. Due to the benefits of properly managed ethical hunting, hunting should be legal within the United States.
I believe that Hunting should stay legal because you can get a fresh and healthy product, Less people will be poor because they are saving tons of money by not going to the store to buy meat, and it’s a fun thing to do with your free time.
Humans have been hunting on this planet for over two million years. Our ancestors used complex hunting techniques to ambush and kill antelopes, gazelles, and other large animals dated back to times before Christ. People all around the world still carry on the tradition, but the view on hunting is not the same as it was back then. The world is so industrialized, and people think hunting is cruel and useless because you can buy meat at grocery stores. But in reality, it is the reason the wildlife they see are not extinct. Harvesting game not only benefits the hunter with the meat, but also the land, the wildlife, and controls the game population; therefore, without it wildlife would starve, and land would not be managed.
Although poaching is an illegal act, it is still a growing problem in the world because it is making the extinction of various animals more probable. Not only it cruel, but it affects the environment and ecosystem where these animals reside. Although various people, usually trophy hunters or those uninformed, argue that it isn’t that big of a problem, there are realities to it that won’t be stopped unless we act upon it and bring awareness of the situation.
