The Deer Hunter

century ago the whitetail deer population became nearly extinct, mostly due to a rapid expansion in the railroad system. At this same time market hunting, weak enforcement of game laws, and habitat loss contributed to the dangerously low deer populations in the late 1800’s. In states like Kansas and Indiana deer were completely extinct, being endangered in many others. With the whitetail deer population doubling every two years there is an estimated thirty million deer in the United States (Rooney

Hunters can use wood to make walls and branches to make it look like a natural made location. Once their gear is set up, the hunter has to decide on what weapon they will use. Hunters can use a variety of weapons, but most have a weapon of choice. The primary weapons hunters use for white tail deer are rifles or bows. Typically when hunters choose rifles, they choose a lighter caliber to keep from damaging the meat. Choosing a rifle gives a hunter a longer range of fire

there are some people who are against hunting. The deer and elk population is growing at an alarming rate. According to Outdoor Life, the "Whitetail deer population grew from 29.8 million in 1994 to 32.7 million today." According to Garth Kidd, the solution to this overgrowth problem is hunting. If we were to get rid of hunting,

In the early twentieth century, hunter-funded state and federal conservation programs rescued deer, elk, bears, turkeys and more from disappearing. Hunting benefits the environment and the economy due to the risk of overpopulation of animals, the taxes on hunting license and hunting equipment, jobs, along with the crops planted by hunters feeds the animals. “In the early twentieth century, there were approximately 500,000 white-tailed deer inhabiting the United States.”(Swihart) “Since then, several

become a challenge; a challenge to kill the elusive game the hunter or huntress is in pursuit of. Many people around the world hunt all different kinds of game. Some animals have become extinct due to over hunting the animals, but laws have been put in place to protect this from happening to other animals. Wildlife conservation foundations have greatly benefited from hunters who have donated billions of dollars to these foundations. Hunters around the world enjoy the pastime, however; to such groups

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

Bow Hunter Two new deer hunters decided to separate to increases their chances. “What if we get lost?” says one of them. “Fire three shots up in the air, every hour on the hour” says the other. “I saw it on TV.” Sure enough, one of the hunters gets lost, so he fires three shots up into the air every hour on the hour. The next day the other hunter finds his friend with the help of the Forest Ranger. “Did you do what I said?” asked the hunter. “Yes, I fired three shots up into the air every hour on

When hunting in a public land, hunters are required to wear orange for safety, but does wearing orange make you more obvious. Many hunters are required to wear orange camo because they hunt on public land and because it’s against the law to not wear orange, but most hunters think that wearing orange will give them away indefinitely. It may depend on what sees you. The three main animals that are hunted in the eastern part of the U.S. are deer, bears, and squirrels. Deer doesn’t see orange, instead

Aaron Mauro 3 December 2014 Solving White-Tailed Deer Overabundance With Hunting and Sterilization In the past few decades, white-tailed deer populations in North America have increased drastically. Due to some relief in predation—in correlation with changes in the environment—deer populations in many zones meet or exceed 10 deer per square kilometer, which is a much higher ratio than in the 1960’s and 1970’s (Côté 116). With an overabundance of deer, many problems arise; the diversity and success

the sixteen million hunters some would argue which weapon is better for killing game. Some hunters just don’t take into consideration the similarities and differences between hunting wild game with a bow or hunting game with a firearm. According to the seasons to hunt in different states, there are many animals, hunters can hunt for with both bow and different firearms.
