¶ … Morning, and I'm riding in the back of my Dad's old Jimmy, dust-covered and bone-cold in the darkness. We're making our way past out of the driveway, and I'm still groggy from the alarm's harsh call.
Ten minutes ago I was warm and snug in my down comforter, dreaming some senseless dream about Anna Green, from 4th period. She was smiling at me from across the hall, dressed in a pink sweater, and asking me about my baseball game on the weekend in a soft voice that purred in the empty hallway.
Uncle Roy pounds on the plexi-glass door between the cab and the topper. "You awake in there, kid?" he shouts, his gravely voice teasing and warm, and muffled from the sound of rocks crunching under the big truck's tires. "Better catch a few winks while you can - can't have you falling asleep, and miss your first chance to shoot some big buck."
Rusty's beside me, smelling like warm, wet dog, and looking up at me with soft brown eyes. I pat him on the...
We make our way past the McKinney's Hardware, past the IGA, then past the Shell station on the corner of town. It feels like we're sneaking away, furtive and concealed, as everyone else sleeps in their warm beds.
A settle down into the rough grey blanket under my feet. Rusty lays his head on my lap, his greying muzzle pushed tight against me, warm dog breath reassuring against my stomach. I wonder if Uncle Roy's right, and if I'll finally get my chance to bag a big buck today. I'd been out half a dozen times with my Dad, and I'd seen maybe six does, but no bucks. I'd even got a shot off at one of the does, but she was fast, and probably gone before I even pulled the trigger.
Dad jostles me awake, "Hey, sleepy, have a nice little nap back here?" Rusty's already out of the topper, tail wagging and eagerly looking into the bushes for squirrels. "Rusty, stay close!" My Dad's annoyed, and…
Hunting is good for the environment? Most people tend to associate hunting with the killing of animals and this is why environmental groups and activists are fighting to abolish it. However, the truth is very different and besides being an enjoyable sport, it is also good for the environment in many ways. It helps to preserve the balance in the environment and keeps the ecosystem from crumbling. Despite all its criticisms,
Hunting Hunters, as described by Merriam Webster's New Dictionary, are individuals who hunt game. In previous generations (and currently in some areas around the world) hunters were held in high esteem as the members of society who were able to search out, track, find, kill and bring home meat for the family (or tribe). In today's more modern society, hunters in the traditional sense are more likely to hunt game for
Abstract The relationship between a predator and a prey is quite essential to the dynamics in the wild. Various classic approaches have been employed in the attempt to predict and comprehend the nature of the consumptive interaction between a predator and a prey (Schmitz, 2017). Using this approach has not yielded any sufficient insight on the context and complexity that is characteristic of the relationship between predators and preys. Schmitz (2017)
Wildlife Management There are abundant pressures on open land, from urban and suburban sprawl to the increase of factory farming. At the same time, it is being recognized that more and more species are being lost as land becomes less diversified and habitats are destroyed. In addition, life is becoming more stressful and people seek ways to engage in recreation for relief. There may be a way to combine more balanced
She was greatly disturbed by the White Buffalo deer hunting party because she identified and sympathised with the deer. Unlike the rash temper Bernard Jr. displayed in times of conflict, Meteke was almost silent in her pain and anguish, to the point that her husband begged her to talk to him, resorting to offers for tea, food, and foot massages to ease her tensions and cheer her (Raboteau, Professor's
Gun Laws / Gun Violence Gun violence, gun registration, and mass shootings in the United States -- and to a lesser extent in the United Kingdom -- have caused authorities great concern over the past few years. And these issues have received a great deal of media attention and hence are worthy of research. This paper reviews gun violence in the U.S. and in the UK, and gun laws that are
