Abstract

I walk slowly, observantly, through the hardwoods stalking the white tailed deer I stumbled upon earlier in the hunt. I am focused to the left, on the other side of a patch of bramble, looking for the outline of a huge deer, straining my eyes more as I step closer and closer to the red vines. As I duck under a downed tree, the deer crashes out of the brush behind me on the opposite side and runs into a swamp. Just when you think you have the animal figured out, it surprises you. This is hunting, it is a tradition I love and need, and have been practicing since age 12.

hunting has been present in this country, as well as the rest of the world, since the beginning of time. As time has changed and technologies have evolved, hunting has evolved also. It is still enjoyed by 7% of the U.S. population, but has been in threat of endangerment. Certain people and groups (known mostly as "animal-rights" groups) hate the concept of hunting.
