Why Hunting Is Still A Common Thing

Hunting is a common activity all around the world, and if performed properly, can have many benefits to us and the rest of the planet. The art of hunting has been around since the beginning of time. Living off of the land used to be a necessity across the world, until the mass production of food came along. In America, people do not usually need to hunt to survive. However, the population of animal species needs to be controlled. Too many of one type of animal can cause a drastic change to any ecosystem. Food supplies decline quickly, leaving many animals without food. Hunting can help keep the population of a group of animals at a good number, making the lives of the other

Hunting is something we've done since we've been on this planet. We used to do it out of necessity, but in the modern world we do it for many other reasons. As technology has increased, we have developed different methods of hunting. These methods have carried over to today, but two have prevailed: bowhunting and rifle hunting. These methods are both hunting--obviously--but they're different in almost every other sense. Bowhunting and rifle hunting are different based on the weapon used, the way you hunt, and your connection with the animal and the land around it; however, the same in the way the respective methods bring people together.

Hunting is still a part of our culture even to this day. Even though “the hunt” isn’t as necessary as it was for our ancestors survival there are many different cultures in todays world that still require hunting for their survival. For example: Native Eskimos rely on the meat from their hunts for their hunts. That is just one of several cultures that rely on hunting. (McLaren). For these cultures, they live where the winter seasons are long as so growing crops isn’t really an option, but hunting is.

Bob woke up early to set up trail cameras on his hunting land. He monitors the pictures and maps out where and when deer typically pass by. Later he has a plan to start hunting that is very efficient. Bob uses his a rifle to take down the 10 point buck he had been watching for a week before he even got to the hunting land. Hunting today is very different than in the past. Anyone that has liked or still does hunt has to have a question on how the sport people enjoy so much today started. Many people just think of cavemen and old extinct animals such as mammoth when people think of the start of hunting, which yes, it was an early form of hunting but it also was survival for their family and others. It actually was not

Hunting has been around for as long as people have been on this earth and if that were taken away completely some people would lose that sense of nature to hunt. Hunting is people who kill animals for food, clothing, or sport. In 2011 13.7 million people, 6% of the U.S. population 16 years old and older, hunted. Big game like elk, deer and wild

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.

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

Hunting is one of America's oldest traditions since the first colonists landed in America access to land and game have only been restricted when nescessary. As times have changed, more land bought, and made exclusively private a need arose to help preserve wildlife resource for general public, through that need and the efforts of hunter to preserve that access to everyone several legislative actions have been taken to generate money to fund these efforts. On the national level the first legislation aimed towards collection of taxes from hunting to fuel conservation and wild life management was the The Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937. States have the most important stake in funding conservation and wildlife management through the use of hunting license and game tags. The decline in interest of hunting is also being felt throughout states as tax revenues from the sales of hunting licenses and game tags are

Hunting has been around before basic civilization had even existed, ours ancestors were the ones who started hunting to survive. Men were taught a way of living by baiting species for daily nutrition, warm clothing, and population aspects on earth. As the growth of civilization evolved and new weapons, including archery tools, rifles, and firearms were created. However some hunters wanted to target  massive terrene mammals.

Hunting has been around ever since man has. It used to be the way people survived. Even though we have supermarkets nowadays, and we don't need to hunt to survive, it should still be allowed. I'm not saying that everybody should hunt, I am simply saying that if you want to hunt, you should have that option. Wild game meat tastes better, and it is better for you because it does not have any of the additives you would find in the meat you buy from the supermarket.

I always sleep on the same sticky and hot leather recliner at my grandparents. It is a reasonable place to sleep but a horrible place to wake up, so it does not seduce me to stay when the 4:30 A.M. alarm sounds. The aroma of steaming coffee fills the house as “the guys,” as my grandma calls us, file out of their rooms. We all ready ourselves for the morning's hunt by making sandwiches, eliminating scent by showering, and dressing ourselves in the only things that will protect us from the cold and the eyes of our prey. After all preparations are complete, I open the door to the still below freezing temperatures that saturate the early mornings. I can feel the dryness in my nose and can sense the morning dew laying rest on my skin. Loading the truck tests the limits of my cracking bare hands, which, on the drive, rest on the blazing hot vents that push air into the cab. The drive to the woods is relatively short, just long enough to strategize the day's hunt and chug down the rest of my sugar rich coffee. Arriving at the broken fence line that

Winters are a constant season that hits North America and there’s always a decision that hunters have to make when the season comes around and that decision will determine rather or not they suffer from hypothermia or even survive another day. The snow has hit the ground and you are out there in the woods and the evening time isn’t far from arrival, at this moment, you may be lost or to no fault of your own, detained

The importance of hunting are hunting safety, laws, and right equipment. My dad said when you use a gun you always follow the rules. In order to hunt you must be mature.

Imagine you were a deer minding your own business and you heard something and you looked and nothing was there and then you turned around and BOOM! You got shot.You were in a lot of pain. Then you died. People should stop hunting animals because animals are a natural resource, it causes pain and suffering,it is not a sport.

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.
