I climbed down quickly out of the tree to check for the buck. It was starting to get dark and I had forgotten to bring my flashlight. I followed the trail into the woods looking for blood spots. The light was almost gone and I had to find that deer. I wished my Dad and Brandon would come back to help me, but they were hunting in a different spot.
Aggressive predator control programs and clearing of forested habitat reduced the red wolf population to 17 wolves by 1980. Almost hunted to the brink of extinction, the U.S. Fish and Wild Life Service rounded up fewer than 20 pure red wolves to breed in captivity. Red wolves were declared extinct in the wild between 1980-87. Thanks to captive breeding programs, today 100-120 red wolves call northeastern North Carolina home.
Taylor and Francis state: “Holsworth (1973) reported the results of a controlled hunt on the Griffith Island where the deer population was reduced from about 300 to 100 during eight hunting trips between October 1962 and April 1968 (Taylor and Francis 1).” Hunting provides incomparably healthier meat than the average processed meat. The diet of deer consists mainly of fruit and vegetables. They choose the cleanest of the streams from which to drink. The fact that deer are constantly alert and moving proves that they have a very small percentage of body fat. Venison is extremely lean.
Zach Kahan Mrs. Jaramillo Period 7 Sir Gawain Essay 10/30/12 The Two Kinds of Hunt In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, there are three animals that are used as metaphors for human actions. Many animals were thought to have qualities like humans in the time that this poem was written including the three animals that were hunted in Sir Gawain.

The deer is thought to be more honorable then the fox but still elusive and was always ready to flee before fighting.
In the last decade the Red Fox population has drastically decreased due the Coyote’s migration East. Coyotes and Red Foxes share similar habitat and diet types. Coyotes are nearly double the size of Red Foxes and have a much more aggressive nature so the competition for prey is not much of a competition. Coyote’s impact on most critters can be predicted easily, expect the White Tail Deer population. Ecologist have yet to anticipate the long-term effect of Coyotes to White Tail Deer.
Largest in North America, the gray wolf can range in different colors depending on which forest of Tundra they range upon. They can live up to ten to eighteen years and average the length of 102-163 cm. An adult may even weigh in up to 85-115 pounds, but smaller is the female weighing 50 to 100 pounds. Considered the world’s most natural villain, the gray wolf has rarely ever attacked humans. However, they may take it upon them to attack our everyday domesticated animals like our dogs, rabbits, cats, or even our livestock, which can cause tragedy because then they are trapped and shot.

The grey wolf is a social animal, traveling in packs consisting of a mated pair and the pair’s adult offspring (Mech., 2003). The grey wolf is typically an apex predator throughout its range. It feeds primarily on large ungulates, but it also eats smaller animals, carrion, and livestock. Arguably, the reasons for the decline in wolf population are that they are highly territorial animals, and established territories than they require to survive to ensure steady supply of prey. Wolves defend their territory from other packs through a combination of scent marking, direct attacks and howling (Asa., 1990).
Wolves are smart. They are persistent and fierce predators. They hunt in groups, as a pack. Pack hunting by wolves stimulates fear in humans almost more than any other large predator, excepting the big cats (tigers, lions, cougars). Wherever wolves exist, they become the subject of mythology, and wherever there are wolves, there are people who fear them, hate them, and respect them.
