...Deer hunting is something that a lot of people like to do. It is a time for guys and gals to relax and listen to the outdoors all around. There are too many deer and too many accidents in the midwest. Deer population could be reduced by having a longer shotgun season, so the population can reduce the vehicle accident cost, medical cost, by establishing new ideas on how motorists can avoid vehicle/deer accidents . In 1997 the Virginia Department Of Transportation recorded around 600 crashes between vehicles and deer. Then in 1998 it jumped up to 4000. insurance and law enforcement officials said the actual car deer collisions could be somewhere between 10 and 20 thousand in the United States. Insurance industry estimates there are half a million car deer accidents annually. The average cost an insurance company pays per claim is 2000.

...Waterfowl hunting has been apart of peoples lives throughout North America for many years. Waterfowl hunting became very popular in the the 1800's in order to supply the rapidly increasing population of North America. In order to supply this big of a population with food, market hunters came about. Market hunters had no limits or regulations to follow which allowed them to kill hundreds of waterfowl everyday. Some methods of the market hunters included baiting, live decoys, punt guns, and even net traps; all of which have been outlawed today. Today there are many rules and regulations that must be followed including the use of non-toxic shot and certain licenses. Waterfowl hunting takes years to master and has been around for many years, playing an important part in the history of North America, . Waterfowl hunting can not be mastered in one day or one month, it takes years to master the art of hunting waterfowl through trial and error. Most waterfowl hunters start at a young age which gives them an advantage over those who are learning on their own at an older age. It doesn't matter how many articles you read or videos you watch on how to hunt waterfowl, what really matters is the hands on experience. Many experienced...

Wear disposable gloves when dealing with the blood of the hog. What to Watch for When Hog Hunting 35. Diseases Avoid contact with dead hogs since they can carry illnesses. Wild, feral hogs can also carry disease too. One of those diseases is brucelllosis. It can be passed to humans through contact with blood or tissue from the hog carrying the disease. They can also carry pseurdorabies, which is fatal to livestock and pets. Animals with the disease will scratch and bite themselves viciously. Be aware of the signs, and throw out the carcass carefully after the kill. 36. Parasites...

...Wood duck, mallard, redhead, pintail, gadwall, or teal, it does not matter; I enjoy hunting all of them. Duck hunting is a recreational sport that I truly look forward to each fall and winter. In my opinion, there are two seasons. Duck season and getting ready for duck season. One of them is too short and the other is much too long. Duck hunting demands a considerable amount of a person’s time and money, but the success of calling in and harvesting that perfect duck to mount or killing a banded duck makes it all worthwhile. The first step in preparing for a successful hunt is finding a good place. Ducks live in rivers, swamps, sloughs, and lakes. Flooded fields with crops are good hunting grounds, also. The ducks feed on grains such as rice and corn that are in the field after the harvest. So, at the end of each duck season, I begin looking for a different place to hunt for the upcoming season, because I like to hunt in new places. If I hunted a flooded field this year then I try to find a good a lake, river, or slough for the upcoming year. I find myself continuously scanning Craigslist, searching the internet, going to blind drawings, and connecting with other hunters until I find that perfect spot. Last year a few of my hunting friends and I leased a duck blind in Stuttgart, Arkansas. It was a dream come true. After finding the...

...1887: Bird hunters ravage our wildlands pilfering as many birds as wanted. Hatmakers offered a sizable (for the time) fee for birds that offered beautiful feathers for the stylish hats of the era. In the woods, “pot hunters” scoured the land-poaching animals for the food industry (Luppino-Esposito, 2012). Observing these shocking trends, Iowan-congressman John Lacey formulated a solution to reduce illegal hunting and fishing--the Lacey Act. In April 30, 1900, John Lacey stated, “[t]he protection of our native birds...ought to be dear to the heart of every American” (Luppino-Esposito, 2012). The main mission of the Lacey Act was to prevent hunters from illegally killing wildlife and then crossing a state border to escape any legal charges (Alexander,...

...The two hobbies that I feel I find most enjoyable would have to be hunting and fishing. Both activities have been a part of my life for a long time. Each hobby is unique in its own way. However, they do share a few similarities. I began participating in both of the activities at a very young age. Fishing was ahead of hunting by a few years. I began fishing avidly after one particular trip with my grandfather. Before I was born he owned a cabin on a small lake in Minnesota. During that time he had been a devoted fisherman along with my father. Just before I was born, he sold that cabin to his neighbors on the lake. My grandfather was getting up there in age and when I was 6 years old my dad thought we should take grandpa fishing out on his...

...2010 Bill John Introduction to Research ~ Research Project 10/28/2010 Hunting Age Introduction to Research John Bill BUSC 315 Research Project Bill John Hunting Age “Turning kids into Killers?” According to Rob Keck, a famous author, “If you go the route of using a range finder, don't make the mistake of trying it out for the first time when you're turkey hunting. A little pre-season preparation at home will go a long way toward success later.” ThinkExist.com Quotations. “Rob Keck quotes”. ThinkExist.com Quotations Online 1 Sep. 2010. 26 Oct. 2010 <http://einstein/quotes/rob_keck/>. I believe what Rob meant by this was the sooner we teach hunting to the youth, the longer they will be engaged and the better our animal conservation will be. The sooner we get youth into the field under a controlled environment, with a gun in their hands and an adult by their side, the better off they will be in two years when they’re hunting by themselves. This research paper is about the current hunting age issue and the impact it may have on a forever-long tradition of hunting. Martin Merereau, who is the director of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' Cruelty Investigations Department in Norfolk, VA, posed a question in one of his articles called Turning kids into Killers: “Based on a new Wisconsin law: How low will hunting lobbyists go?” What Merereau is referring to is the recent law passed in Wisconsin which grants 10-year-olds the right to carry...

...The topic for my paper is the interaction between the Metis people and the bison. I will examine the correlation between the declining bison numbers and hunting patterns, techniques, and traditions between regions. I will primarily be looking at the Red River and Ile-à-la-Crosse settlements, as well as the plains Metis. In order to rule out other possible influences on the bison I will be sure to examine settlers influence, as well as that of the bison trading economy. My principle research questions for this paper are “to what extent was the Metis’ hunting of the buffalo relate to subsistence, culture/tradition, or other purposes,” “to what extent did the Metis attribute to the depletion of the bison in different regions,” “Who did the Metis’ hunting more-so resemble, the Natives or the European settlers and did this differ between regions,” and “to what extent did different hunting techniques attribute to the depletion of the bison.” I am still, however, trying to decide which order the questions can be best answered in, as to...

...ew species remain the same as their prehistoric ancestors, hence the naming of such species today as living fossils. One such species survived and thrived for millions of years, outlasting the dinosaurs and countless other species. However, due to a sudden increase in hunting and rapid urbanization in the last few decades, this species now teeters on the edge of extinction; as of 2004, the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species has labeled the Giant Chinese Salamander as a critically endangered species (IUCN). The Chinese Giant Salamander, Andrias Davidianus, holds the title for world’s largest amphibian, with the average specimen measuring between four to six feet in length and weighing around sixty pounds. Unfortunately, the growing Chinese...

...Mason Schmidt Rose Womack Business Ethics 11//2014 Hunting Ethics For my research paper I chose to discuss the topic of hunting ethics. I have several reasons for choosing this topic, first and foremost hunting is my biggest passion in life and I see a lot of misconceptions regarding hunting in the media and in the general public, another reason I chose is due to the firestorm that was generated when a Texas cheerleader, Kendall Jones, posted pictures of game animals she had legally taken on an African safari with her father on Facebook. This incident truly showed me for the first time how widespread anti-hunting sentiment was as well as how little people seem to know about it. In order to counter these sentiments and give people a better understanding of hunting and how it is not unethical, I will state what I believe to be the three most common ethical objections to hunting and then provide rebuttals. The three objections are, hunting is unethical because it disrupts nature and has caused the extinction of numerous species, hunting is unethical because modern technology gives humans an unfair advantage, and finally, the biggest and most common objection, hunting is unethical because it causes animals to experience extreme duress and pain. It is my hope that my arguments will sway you to see that hunting, when done lawfully, is completely ethical. Objection one is “hunting is unethical because it disrupts nature and has caused the extinction of numerous...

...Dolphins have the second highest brain power in the animal kingdom, just behind humans. The academy award winning documentary, The Cove did a wonderful job on shining a light on the questionable hunting practices on dolphins in Japan. Dolphin hunting in Japan as practiced in The Cove are unnecessary and cruel. Dolphins killed in the Taji dolphin drive hunts are several times greater than those in the antarctic and most other seas. (WDC Dolphin Hunts). Almost 23,000 dolphins and other sea mammals are killed or captured in Japan every year, by the ever-growing countries whaling industry (WDC Dolphin Hunts). The typical practices used in Japan to hunt their dolphins is very unnecessary, cruel and should have greater consequences towards those unethical practices of dolphin hunting and capturing. The way in which the Japanese gather dolphins and kill them is flat-out unnecessary. The fishermen herd the dolphins towards land into a sheltered cove and then cover them with a net to prevent their escape. They then used to...

...Female Discrimination in China’s Enterprise’s Graduate Recruitment and Selection Practices: A Case Study. 1. Introduction: 1.1 Background of the topic and the research significance 1.1.1 Background According to China National Radio, more than 7,490,000 college students in China will graduate and enter the job market in 2015, which makes this year “the hardest job-hunting season ever for graduates”. In the overwhelming news coverage, media mainly focus on the largely increasing number of graduates, the contradiction between limited demand from job market and redundant labor supply and the status quo in job-hunting. Less attention is paid to female college students who are encountering gender discrimination in job-hunting. According to All-China Women’s Federation, 91.9 percent of female college students responded that they felt the existence of gender discrimination against women in job-hunting (Ye, 2012). Another survey by Guangzhou Women’s Federation revealed that 71.9 percent of female college students had encountered gender discrimination in job hunting (Feng, 2014). In addition, a report by China University of Political Science and Law indicated that 68.98 percent of recruiters were involved in gender discrimination in employment. (Ye, 2012) Female graduates are well educated group and are important human capital However, the advantage of them as a human resource does not fundamentally change the fact that female candidates are often discriminated when finding...

...| The Omnivore Review | A review on Michael Pollans “The Omnivore dilemma” | | Cody Windsor Harrington | DeVry University | The Omnivore Review As agriculture technology continues to advance in the new world most of us have lost our pre historic skills of basic survival when it comes to hunting and gathering. America’s agriculture logistics are so well developed that most Americans relay on this system to stay alive. A small portion of people out there still remain intact with their pre historic agriculture skills. That is what Author Michael Pollan writes about In Part 3, Chapters 15, 16, and 17 of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Michael Pollan talks about looking for different foods, the ethics of hunting animals and harvesting the meat as well as giving a brief look into what brought about the paradox of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Chapters 15, 16, and 17 bring up a lot of good points about foraging and hunting. Pollan provides in depth detail and research on the topics. The difficult part is staying focused on the story the author is illustrating. Pollan tends to bounce around on different topics and drags out details making it difficult to keep the reader entertained. Chapter 15 of Omnivore's Dilemma discusses how Pollan is preparing to make a meal from all of the foraging groups. Fruits, vegetables, fungi, and meat were the components that made up this meal. His goal was to find and gather enough from each group to make his first meal from nature. Pollan discusses...

...Haylee Bowers Research Paper 11/20/13 In today’s society, cruelty towards animals is growing rapidly because people don’t understand the value of an animal’s life. People all around the world use and abuse animals as if it was some kind of national sport, and everybody is competing for the first place gold medal. Ever year millions of animals are being beaten and starved because of heartless people. Animal cruelty is a social issue that many people don’t understand. All the people who abuse animals don’t understand when they are harming an innocent animal are going to continue to do it until they are shown what they are doing wrong. Each type of abuse has certain patterns that scientists can study and find out why people commit the crimes they do. Animal cruelty is broken down into two categories, which are active and passive. Active cruelty is also known as NAI (non-accidental injury). NAI is when a person has malicious intent so fierce that they deliberately and intentionally cause harm to an animal. On the other hand with passive cruelty a person doesn’t intentionally cause harm to the animal, they simple neglect it by giving it no attention. While I was doing the research for this essay, I thought non-stop about how a human being could break a dogs leg, back, or even neck and feel no sympathy for the dog? Are some people in this world that heartless that they have no feelings for other living things? I wonder if you asked a person that has abused an animal if they...
