Wild Turkey Research Paper

Both essays cover two very different subjects Dave Barry’s essay covers sexism as he chose Thanksgiving dinner prep as the focus point so that he can point out how a simple family gathering is one the most sexist events that happens throughout a year. While David Sedaris takes place in his youth, right away you can tell that young David is plagued with severe OCD and not the cleaning kind. His essay starts out with his teacher scolding him for licking the light switches in the classroom, and he doesn’t understand why he gets in trouble for it. Both essays are done very well and both are connected by humor. Dave Barry on sexism and David Sedaris on mental illness but David Sedairs’s in my opinion is the better essay.

The National Wild Turkey Federation is an organization that was founded in the early 1970’s, basing a foundation for the preservation of turkey hunting. Their success is found in the many members, those who support the organization in their respective chapters and support the NWTF as a whole. Since the beginning where the founders’ laid the foundation for the years to come, North America has branched their starting number of one million turkeys to seven million. These factors are abided by the investment and dedication to those who support the organization, as well as their loved ones and family members.

I believe the short film was made for a fun informative. The videographer took advantage of an unusual topic and made the story interesting. The main point of the story was to show an average neighborhood’s day interrupted by random turkeys, leaving the neighborhood in astonishment. The videographer demonstrates the story from the resident’s point of view but mostly the woman’s point of view. I think that was the case because of how the woman was so delighted about the entire situation. The story engages the audience by bringing curiosity of how the turkeys got there in the first place and what are the turkeys going to do afterwards. Correspondingly, the videographer captures a long shot of the turkeys walking out of the shot towards the pole.

Lastly, one of the biggest benefits of the Wisconsin’s Managed Forest Law at the state level has been its effects on Wisconsin’s forests’ ecosystems. Within forests, the MFL has helped to provide wildlife habitat for game and threatened/ endangered species, maintain forest ecosystem health and vitality, conserve and maintain water and soil resources on and around forestland, and promote forest conservation and biological diversity (Gass 10). To help aid in creating sustainable forest environments, the Wisconsin MFL requires that landowners follow mandatory practices including: releasing trees from competing vegetation, reforesting land to meet minimum forest density standards, performing pre and post harvest treatments to insure forest regeneration,

Especially in the Flint Hills, the careful yearly smoldering of endless territories of tallgrass prairie connected with serious, early steers eating in May, June, and July leaves few spots for ground settling fowls like prairie chickens to effectively settle. Greater prominent prairie chicken populaces in the Flint Hills have declined altogether since this touching framework got to be boundless. Be that as it may, less successive smoldering, in a perfect world once in 3 years or twice in 5 years, is basic to the strength of the prairie and for prairie chickens. Perhaps a greater genuine risk to greater prominent prairie chickens and other meadow winged animals is the spread of intrusive trees like eastern red cedar, Osage orange, and others into parts of our Kansas prairies ( read greater: Tree Invasion). Humorously, this has come about because of too little use of controlled smoldering in a few districts and from disappointment of area administrators to rapidly perceive and react to the danger tree intrusion stances to prairie, domesticated animals creation, and field untamed life (nature,

“As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird following. By in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71 percent greater flying range than if one bird flew alone.” Teamwork is always better than being in something alone, as shown in the quote. Working with a team may expand your ideas, things may work more efficiently, and educate yourself with new skills. Geese stand by each other when they are wounded or sick, if that were the case with people, we’d create a stronger bond.

On Friday, Sept. 22, a student presumed missing for several years was discovered bruised and bloody under the Prairie Chicken. This student requested that their name and gender be omitted, and that they only be referred to as "HEARTENED SIN", or H.S.

As referred to in “Zoologists and Wildlife biologists Ocupational” the median salary for a wildlife biologist is about $59,680 per year which is $28.69 hourly. The lowest ten percent earned less than $39,180, and the highest ten percent earned more than $97,390. According to “Salary:Wildlife Biologist” the average annual pay for the Johnstown area is about $42,061. Depending on where you work you will get paid a different amount. Overall Pennsylvania has an annual salary of $60,000 and and hourly pay of $28.85. West Virginia has an annual salary of $47,300 and $22.74 hourly. Connecticut has an annual salary of $91,240 and a hourly pay of $43.87("Zoologists And Wildlife Biologists :: Salaries"). You don't immediately get paid that amount of money. Depending on how long you have

Across the United States of America, water fowl hunting is one of the most popular hunting sports that occurs every year during the autumn and winter seasons. Hunters spread out over wide range of areas across the United States to take a shot at geese, ducks, and other well-known game birds. Water fowl hunting can be done in crop fields or on a river. When a shot goes up over half the shots taken pellets are falling towards a field or wet land area. Concerns have been made and laws and regulations against Lead Shots are being adjusted. The new laws and regulations are requiring water fowl hunters who use traditional lead shot ammunition are now to use steel shots when water fowl hunting. (White)

One of the largest concerns, dealing with the spotted owl / forest industry debate, is the loss of jobs. There were 21,000 jobs lost during the time that this debate took place (Ross, 1999). The amount of job losses in the logging and milling industry at this time were not solely attributed to the spotted owl controversy. The downward trend in the timber harvest

After talking to the landowner Mr. Brian Blackburn we developed several management ideas for the property. Mr. Blackburn owns the property for recreation, such as hunting (deer and turkey) and fellowship with friends and family. Mr. Blackburn would also like to create enough revenue from the property to stay revenue neutral. His main concern with plantation loblolly pine is the mortality of planted seedlings by feral hogs. The management plan for Mr. Blackburn’s tract include loblolly pine management for wildlife and income, feral hog control, wild turkey and whitetail deer habitat, cruise establishment and inventory methods, fire management, control of muscle wood, management of bottom land hardwood, spruce pine management,

Did you know that turkey tends to contain vitamins and minerals, but also has more fat and calories. Also the amino acid tryptophan in turkeys causes you to become sleepy after eating. You shouldn’t eat us because it can affect your health and we are not treated well and many of us are killed every year for Thanksgiving.

I believe that opening day of dove season is the best day of the hunting season. It is the start of the long fall and winter hunting seasons. The first day of dove season is my most anticipated hunting day.  Many hunters will only dove hunt on the first day of the season.

Wildlife management has been an area of concern for many residents of South Carolina over the past several decades. Recently, the issue has grown stronger and more present especially when it comes to the wildlife management policies, or lack thereof, concerning the state animal, the Whitetail Deer. Hunters and non-hunters alike, have expressed their concern over the management practices and general thinking when it comes to protecting Whitetails. According to the Department of Natural Resources, the overall statewide population has decreased as evidenced by a 35% reduction in harvest since 2002. Wildlife management in general, is a difficult thing to accomplish. From a management perspective (Hunting), the wildlife could be viewed as an open-access resource. It is rival in the sense that one’s use (A successful hunt) disallows someone else’s opportunity to harvest that specific animal. It is also non-excludable in the sense that anyone can partake in hunting given they are eligible to but a license. Open access resources are generally overused, sometimes exhausting the resource completely.

This is one of the reasons why over 70 species of birds reside at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. For instance, the American white pelican, the snowy plover, and the black-necked stilt. In fact, the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge has one of the largest colonies of white-faced ibis in the world. It also provides approximately 60% of the breeding population of cinnamon teals in North America. Thus, it’s an impressive place to visit because of its wide variety of North American
