Colorado has had one of the biggest problems with poaching. Well, they did for a while. Since a magnificent bull elk named Sampson was killed in Estes Park in the 1990's, Colorado has increased laws on poaching a great deal (Taking aim). This incident gave hunting a new name. People began to believe that hunters were only killing to "stuff a trophy" or "get a wall hanger" (Taking aim).
Have you ever had the experience to take your first whitetail deer with someone that means the world to you? Well I have to fill you in on that, when I was twelve years old I was on a hunt in Autauga county Alabama which is also known as Prattville I got the opportunity to climb in the stand with my dad one evening on the hunt and kill my first deer. That evening it felt different than any other time I was getting in the stand, it was like I knew that something good was going to happen. First, I got ready back at the place we were staying (which just happened to be at a cattle auction in the room above where the auctioneers sleep at when it is auction season) then we all got in the trucks and headed to what is now the lodge to meet up with
Hunting is a process that can take days, weeks, or possibly even longer to get the one you desire. As the hunt continued on, I grew bored and tired. I remember I was mentally drifting off about other irrelevant things until I heard my uncle shout out, “that’s the one!” I quickly shot out of my dreamlike state and felt a rush of adrenaline as I saw a huge elk within shooting range. My uncle signaled for me to take the shot. I leveled the rifle resting the butt on my shoulder and intensely peering down the scope that now pointed at the heart of the beast.
If you shoot once you are almost guaranteed not to get another shot on that same deer, it takes way longer for an archer to reload his bow then it would for a gunman to reload his gun for a second shot. That raises the challenge level so much more to put a good shot on it because there may not be that second chance. If using a bow you will agree that the challenge is so much great with a bow then it is with a gun. Although presented with all of this information one would think that bow hunting is the ultimate challenge. Have so much adrenaline you cant stop your body from shaking, the thrill of shooting something within 30 yards and gaining that different type of respect for that animal, and the challenge of getting that perfect shot on it because you know that there may not be another shot.
On May 11, 1858, Minnesota became the 32nd state to join the United States of America (Minnesota). Early on, the state was filled with vast resources and an abundance of wildlife. Most of the wildlife, such as deer, elk and moose, contributed to the settler’s diet. Natural predators created competition and hardships for the new settlers; one of these animals was the Gray Wolf. The decrease in the amount of large mammals that the settlers consumed left wolves’ preying on cattle.
I'm a half brother and I'm full Navajo. The Nez Perces were able to aquire hunting tags for a Bison hunt near west Yellowstone in Gardiner Mt. We have always been told stories of how our predecessors used the buffalo. Our religion and prayers songs are all passed down from the buffalo culture so it was especially significant for us to be apart of this.
