Hunting Essays & Research Papers

Hunting, one of the oldest activities known to man, is being debated by two extremely strong-willed sides. The subject of deer hunting is one topic on which many people have strong emotional opinions either for or against. Some redneck people feel that “my pa hunted and taught me that if I can kill it, I can eat it”. While the tree huggers feel that “it is awful because you’re killing Bambi”. Although both are entitled to their own opinion, neither of these reasons comes across as noteworthy...

Hunting as a Sport is not Acceptable Hunting is the process of killing or catching wild animals. It is a subject of arguable morality.

Supporters claim that hunting is necessary to prevent overpopulation, whereas opponents believe that killing and hunting is morally wrong. First of all, hunting keeps animal...

Each year, sometime in early November, over 10 million people across the country dress up in bright orange and pursue the goal of shooting a deer for bragging rights, a trophy set of antlers, or some precious fresh venison.

Donnie Walker Glenn Hatcher ENG 111 11/3/2012 The morning was cold and dark as I crept through the familiar terrain towards my favorite hunting spot. After getting situated in my tree stand I patiently waited for the woods to light up. As the glowing sun started to rise, nature began to come to life. The birds were chirping, squirrels were out looking for their nuts and I was patiently waiting to see a deer. This was the first day that I got the chance to take my brand new Browning deer...

For my research topic I have decided to go over the benefits of hunting. I think these reasons are numerous, and cover a wide variety of topics. Some of which include, controlling the animal population, helping to maintain balance in the ecosystem, connecting with nature, participating in something with a rich tradition, and also to provide healthy organic food that you know exactly where it came from, and what was done to it. There are definitely other benefits to hunting, but they are probably...

This story teaches us about the Navajo song writing tradition, their appreciation towards the deer, and their hunting tactics. A...

Raccoon Hunting One of my greatest adventure would have to of been when I went coon hunting with some friends.

Jelani Reeves 3/26/13 Hunting is not bad Hunting is not bad. It keeps the animal numbers at a level the habitat can support. Without hunting, deer and other animals would become endangered because there would not be enough food to go around. The protection of the herd, the habitat, and its management determines when hunting is allowed. Hopefully the meat garnered from a hunt is used and not discarded. Deer hunting isn't bad. Most people think it is because animals die. Well,...

Monica Grove Mrs. Hatter English 12 12 November 2014 Symbol Justification Throughout the pastoral poem, there are several different symbols. The symbols I used were deer, dreams and fear. The deer symbolizes a trophy. I used it as a trophy because if you get your winning deer then that means you have gotten out of this small town and moved onto bigger and better things. Another symbol was dreams because the only way to be able to follow your dreams is to actually be successful and get away...

Hunting or Killing? Is hunting a moral or ethical practice in today’s society? Can we justify the killing of wild animals for food, clothing, or for sport. It has long been a fact of life that the human race has had to hunt in order to survive. But in this new age of technology were everything we need to survive can be found on a supermarket shelf, then why do we still hunt animals? It’s not out of necessity that many Americans continue to hunt, but rather the life experience and the...

Hunting Charles Dickens once said, “There is a passion for hunting something deeply implanted in the human breast.” I agree with this quote. Hunting is very exciting and fun. However, many disagree with me. No one rides the fence though. You either think that hunting is good or that hunting is bad. What do you believe? Do you think hunting is positive or negative? I believe hunting is good because it helps feed those in need, it helps control the population of wild animals, and it helps...

It’s 5-something in the morning when the alarm goes off. I force myself out of bed despite the fact that it’s Saturday morning. “You only get so many days like this,” I mumble. Thirty minutes later, my boots are crunching across the frost as I make my way towards my usual spot. I settle in and my heart rate slows as I sit in the pitch-black darkness, waiting for the world to wake up. I doze off for a few minutes and awake to the chorus of the woods as the sky turns gray, then pink. There is no...

| | | | | | Abstract When it comes to the issue of hunting there are different points of view. There are three distinct groups that exist: the hunters, the non-hunters, and the anti-hunters. While non-hunters themselves do not participate in the long time tradition they accept that others do. The anti-hunters condemn both the activity and the people that partake in it. They believe that hunters are only killing animals for the trophy and allow the meat to go to waste. They...

Deer Hunting I am literate when it comes to deer hunting, from food that deer prefer to visit, to the type of cover they favor, all the way to how they use the wind to their advantage while traveling from destinations. As a young hunter, new to the sport I was out on a cold windy day trying to harvest my first deer when I fell asleep waiting on an opportunity for a shot. I was resting my head against the tree; I was awaken from the brisk wind whipping across my face. Once I opened my eyes I...

Katherine Ackerman Professor Tamara RabeEnglish 201 24 September 2014 Is Hunting Ethical? Is hunting ethical? As a hunter myself, growing up in a family of hunters, I never answered the question correctly. When asked the question “is hunting ethical?” I would rattle off information and statistics about wildlife population control and the environmental information gathered by hunters, but I seemed to be missing the point completely. As it was recently pointed out, it was like I was being...

Camping Trip Finally, the time was here. It was fall break, and I had nothing to do but sit around and enjoy life. This area was covered with dirt, and no matter how hard I tried, I would get filthy. I couldn't wait to get home to take a nice shower. It was a nice place to sit around and clear my mind. In the middle of September, my mother and I would go to the store to buy tons of food for hunting trip. At last, after being at the store for hours, we would be on our way to...

Hunting is considered as a hobby for most people across the world, it is also known as a crime in many countries. The animal instinct in humans was first brought alive through hunting during the Stone Age, when man had not discovered any resources of food other than predation. He hunted like other wild animals, schemed a plan to attract his prey, waited till it approached and then pounced on it with weapons till the animal finally gave in. This practice of hunting has been followed even after...

It was a chilly, brisk four a.m. morning. We could see our breath in our dim flashlights as we hopped out of that green Chevy pickup. Grandpa and I were all camouflaged out, with our orange vests and hat of course. Hand warmers and “toasty-toes” ready, we headed to our deer stand, “The Penthouse”. Walking to The Penthouse is always pretty nerve racking for me. Its pitch black, no flash lights. Just me, Grandpa, and nature. The crunching of leaves under our feet and the occasional hole I...

Hunting the White-Tail Deer It is a freezing twenty-two degrees outside. Even though it is still too dark to see, as you look over the hills, you see a breathtaking sunrise that will soon creep through the heavy fog. Every breath that you take is like smoke coming out of a dragon's nostrils. As you are waiting patiently, still, and quietly, you finally see your kill, the white-tail deer. Without a doubt, the white-tail deer should be hunted. First, the population of the white-tail...

Shelby Morgan Professor Colon ENC 1102 July 17, 2009 Hunting Should Be Allowed Hunting is beneficial to our society and therefore should be allowed.

Do animals have feelings? We may never know for sure, but for those of us who think they do, there are animal rights groups. For those of us who don't think so, or just don't care, there's indifference and there's hunting. The morality of sport and commercial hunting has been in question for centuries. I could open a economy size can of worms about fox hunting in England, whale hunting in Japan, and tiger hunting in Africa. I think it's safe to say that most of us are supportive of protecting...

Austin Bailey Mrs. Bruemmer LA2 14 December 2011 Deer Hunting is a Good Thing By: Austin Bailey You’re driving home from a movie with your best friends and you’re doing about 60 on a country road you’ve known all your life. All of a sudden, out of your peripheral view, you see a couple of deer heading straight for your cars path. You hit the brake to try to avoid them and narrowly miss.

Poaching Poaching, as defined by Webster, is the illegal practice of trespassing on another's property to hunt or steal game without the landowner's permission. Today, that definition seems slightly vague as the nature of poaching has changed drastically in recent years. Poaching is an ever growing epidemic that plagues every continent of this world. Animals of every type are pursued for a variety of economic reasons despite the ecological consequences associated with disrupting the natural...

Hunting was once considered a test of courage and manhood. Now it is a fight between a predator and a prey, it is just the killing of defenseless animals. This "sport" that people call hunting is a dangerous thing and it can cause animals’ serious pain. Getting rid of this "sport" will benefit ourselves as we will keep the balance in nature. Traps are one of the main tools used by hunters to capture animals in the wild that are too evasive. There are many types of traps that hunter use but a...

Case: Rhino Hunting 1. What is SANParks / Kruger National Park’s objective and vision? Is selling rhino consistent with their objective and vision? If not, then what should it be? Their objective and vision was to protect the wildlife in the South Africa National Parks. They would also generate revenue through wildlife sales, making the selling of rhino part of their vision, but they did this because they also believed in recolonization of wildlife in case of disease or poaching. They...

Opportunity of a Lifetime: Deer or Dad? Some of us have had that life changing experience spent with our fathers or mothers. The bond between a father and son can be something truly magnificent whether it is a small or a large event. The accumulation of memories is what makes a relationship so special and deep, and what keeps a parent and child so close throughout life. Such memories become embarrassing stories in front of new dates, toast at weddings, eulogies at funerals, and lifelong...

SOCI 111-35D Explain cool hunting. According to the video, what is the paradox of cool hunting? Cool hunting is simply how companies hire outside experts to “hunt for whats in” or “find the new/hip style”. They look for the trend setters (the 20%) who are sought out to influence the other 80% of the population. The paradox with that is that once it becomes a public image; they then need to find a new image. Once something new like a trend or theme is brought to sight; it becomes old and...

First Hunting Trip I wake up around 5:00 A.M. to a big early morning breakfast that my dad had cooked. The smell of the eggs, bacon, and toast made me vivacious. I got out of bed and put my cloths on. Then went and had delicious breakfast. When I was eating I could feel the sense that my dad, brother, and me where going to have so much fun. I know that if we didn’t catch any deer which is what we where going to hunt we would still have a great experience. I also thought to myself that...

Hunting should not be outlawed. It is still a source of food for people who still live off the land . Hunting can be a very effective method of population control. Hunting is a sport of tradition it offers recreation from everyday life. Hunting animals for food is better for people because it does not have all the hormones that farm raised animals have. There aren’t very many diseases that affect humans in wild animals. Majority of the animals that have seasons are edible. Hunting is a...

Hunting Should Be Legal The subject of keeping hunting legal is a controversial topic. I believe that hunting should be legal. If not, many animals would die because of overpopulation. A substantial amount of our food comes from hunting animals. Many years ago, some people used hunting to survive because they couldn't buy a lot of their food. Another question is that isn't fishing the same thing as hunting so should they stop fishing if they stop hunting? Some people feel disheartened...

Duck Hunting North Dakota BOOM! Then, dead silence. The water ripples as the smell of gun powder fills the air. The victim is seen helpless by the hunter. Now if this is what sounds like a thrill to you, duck hunting is the way to go. If someone were to ask me what my favorite hobby is, I would have to say duck hunting in North Dakota.

11/3/13 Types Of Hunting The many great things about hunting is not only the calmness of the wilderness and the rush of being so close to many wild animals. There are many different ways to hunt. I am going to classify the four types of hunting: shotgun, rifle, muzzleloader, and bow and arrow. The reason I am classifying this is because most people just think of hunting as a verb and don’t know that there are so many different ways to go about hunting. Hunting with a shotgun First of all...

My First Hunting Trip On November 15th of 2003, my life changed forever at 5:15 in the afternoon. It was a cool crisp evening and the wonderful smell of nature was around me.

11 December 2013 Hunting and Dark Green Religion with a Twist of Sport Hunting Dark Green Religion and hunting go hand in hand in the traditional sense. According to Dark Green Religion, as exemplified by Bron Taylor, the death of an animal should be appreciated and teach us the ethics of loving and caring for the bounty of our planet. Farm animals are killed all the time with the justification that they are for food. The conditions those animals deal with are explicitly anti-DGR. There are...

Should Animal Hunting Be Banned? I personally think animal hunting should be banned because hunters are one of the main reasons why animals suffer, are extinct, and are endangered. Because of hunting animals are becoming extinct, and with arsenal of rifles, shotguns, muzzle loaders, handguns, bows and arrows, hunters kill more than 200 million animals yearly. It Is Cruel; Animals deserve just us much respect as we do. There are primates that are the closest living animal to us and we hunt...

Why hunting is positiveENG: 141 12/3/13 The human being has been hunting ever since time began. It was the only way of life back then. A hunter was either successful and survived or not successful and died. Hunting is still a way of survival for some people. There are many anti-hunting activists out there trying to bring down hunting. They say that it is cruel and mean to kill a defenseless animal. What they don’t understand is that if we didn’t hunt, the world would be completely...

Beauty and the Beast-Who is Whom? Hunting should be prohibited because it is all too simple for hunters to abuse regulations. Firstly, there is no way to be certain whether or not hunters comply with limits established in regards to the amount of animals they are allowed to kill, and where they are allowed to hunt. Every occurrence in a hunting expedition cannot be monitored and therefore hunters are essentially “allowed” to do as they please. The overconfidence that ensues leads to hunters...

Kenton Reece Professor Clark Comp. 1 Eng. 105 September 15, 2014 Making a Man "Hey! Here she comes!" All the sudden the deer pops out of seemingly nowhere. She darts across the empty soy bean field in front of me. I raise my gun and prepare to take the shot. Nothing seems different today. It feels like any other day during deer season. Just like any other push we had done during the last 2 years I had hunted. But as this story will tell, this day will be different, probably one of the most...

In the extract, Herbert, who has lived with the Inghuit as a child, is fully involved in the emotions of the locals. She conveys that narwhal hunting is a highly significant event in the Inghuit year. The words ‘rarely’ and ‘fortunate’ convey that the arrival of the narwhal is a special occasion and that only a few are successful in the pursuit of the creature. This is further emphasised by the description of the behaviour of the women who are observing the hunt. They are ‘clustered on the...

Farming lets people have a steady food supply all year long. Farmers usually have surplus, so they can have bigger families then the hunters and gatherers. Farmers don't have to travel like the hunters and gatherers; they have a settled life, they don't have to travel, and they take up less space. Farmers can live almost anyplace...

Environmentalists the world round have slandered hunters, continually bashing hunting and those involved therewith. In defense, the hunters pull out their age old arguments which they themselves do not understand. As usual in the course of such activities, as with many contentious subjects, the presenting of the truth to the general public within the mudslinging of the opposing sides usually reaches a point of utter neglect. Generally the snippets of truth given are emblazoned on flyers, taken...

The Controversy between How Hunting is affecting our Wildlife In the beginning of the year we watched a video, what “they” say about hunting. This video is on a debate that a high school was having on whether hunting should be banned or not. The biggest controversial part about hunting is the fact on what animals are allowed to be hunted, and which aren’t. Most people don’t know where they are allowed to hunt, and what animals are on and off limits. These examples are things that came up in...

The Best Hunting Trip One day in Victoria, TX we were in a dry field where birds swarmed around a small lake. All of a sudden they began to get shot down one by one.
