The Deer Hunter

Quality Deer Management There is no other big-game animal in North America like the white-tailed deer. The whitetails habitat is so widespread that it covers just about all of North America and parts of Central America. The white-tailed deer is the most commonly hunted big game animal ever. Before the settlers arrived, an estimated 30 million whitetails inhabited what is now the United States and Canada. But as settlers pursued them for food and market hunters slaughtered them with snares, traps

Oh Deer There are multiple and personal ways to look at hunting, such as a way to provide life or even a sport. There are also different tactics in hunting, such as high fence, low fence, endangered, poaching and etc. Ethically I believe the means of hunting should purposely be for providing food and resources as needed. "More than 38 million Americans hunt and fish," as stated by nhfday.org. These statistics were in 2012 and records have concluded that the numbers have increased since then

How the Deer Got its Antlers Antlers are one of the first things you notice when you see a deer. But have you ever wondered how they got them? It is a quite interesting predicament. like to hear the tale? It begins on a sunny day in summer. Birds were singing flowers were everywhere and the trees of the forest(mostly old huge oak trees)were standing tall and strong. On a hilltop stood a deer. He was so proud of himself stating that he was the sole king of the forest.” I am the king of the forest

The United States is home to many different big-game and small-game species of wildlife. The list ranges from the elusive racoon to the prosperous white-tailed deer, and even to the beastly grizzly bear. Since the United States government adopted the concept of conservation, due partly to the great acts of President Theodore Roosevelt, its has been our moral responsibility to protect the game species of America (Belanger). Our country provides a professional and sufficient way to guide conservation

Wildlife Services, only about 12.5 million people in America participated in hunting activities in the year of 2006. This is a very small number (less than 5 percent) when compared to more than 300 million population of the country. There are many non-hunters in this country that believe that hunting is not a fair thing to animals, but they don’t realize that there are many benefits that come with hunting. Hunting is something that is considered by many people to be immoral, cruel, and an unethical practice

to human society. Hunting will lower the deer population, contribute to the economy, and feed hunters’ families. To begin, hunting will dramatically lower the deer population as the bucks do not have a chance to impregnate does, thus preventing an increase in the population. Additionally, the deer population will decrease as hunters end the lives of deer before they end the lives of humans. I have personally experienced the fear and disgust of hitting a deer. My mom was driving my six siblings and

It’s a brisk November morning like any other day, but today isn’t any other day, today is the first day of firearm deer season. Shots are going off everywhere like world war three declared on deer. I’m wrapped in every hunting garment I own but winters cold embrace always finds its way in. My cheeks are rosy red and my breath was thick in the air. As I raise my shotgun and pull the trigger, my heart races and my hands shake. As I race after my prize, the sounds of leaves crunching beneath my

tailed deer ecology and conservation. While deer are overpopulated and regulated and focused hunting is beneficial for our forest ecosystems, the issue is highly contested by many different groups with opposing views. From a scientific standpoint, hunting is necessary to keep deer populations in check, and this can be done most effectively by hunting female deer. Therefore, conservation-minded groups support the increased issuance of antlerless deer licenses and decrease in antlered deer licenses

What Makes a Hunter? The google definition of a hunter is, “a person that hunts.” Although, there is more to it than that.There are specific things that define a hunter. Throughout this essay, I wish to explain what makes a hunter, as far as defining characteristics one must obtain, such as patience, having that killer drive, skills, and being knowledgeable. Hunters have to have patience. You have to be able to wait for the animal that you are hunting. It’s not always going to be fast pace. Animals

thrill throughout me; it was the opening day of the gun deer hunting season. Within minutes, I was dressed from head to toe in bright, blaze orange that could be recognized from miles away. I reluctantly, yet willingly, climbed into the truck to head to the hunting land in Adams County, Wisconsin. My stomach felt like it was tied into knots. My mind was again flooded with conflicting emotions. I began to wonder: will I get a deer? Will I not get a deer? Will I get a buck? The familiar sound of our tires
