Becoming a Conservation Police Officer Throughout my life I have called the wild of mother nature's outdoors my home away from home. Growing up, hunting and fishing have been of my favorite activities. Through this I have found a love and attraction to Virginia's great outdoors. During my time spent outdoors I have encourntered many different Conservation Police Officers(CPO). Around five years ago, I found myself greatly attracted to the idea of becoming a CPO.
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. My wife is Blackfeet from the plains and it was a special treat to sit down to a fresh buffalo tongue and roasted meat feast with our children.
I spent many hours practicing shooting at a deer dummy and a fusion block to prepare for bow hunting. This hunting experience happened three years ago. I was hunting on our hunting lease called the Gibson place. At the edge of the forest is a favorite huge oak tree that I love to hunt out of. My brother, Brandon, and I had planted some corn near the edge of the forest so that the deer would have plenty to eat close to my hunting spot.
Today I set off on a new adventure threw Canada and this stop is going to be located on Canada’s taiga plains where I can enjoy the beauty of the free animals, the nice temperature ranging from 7 to 15 degrees C. My first stop is going to be at Wood Buffalo National Park (which covers 44,807 km2) and was created in 1922. I Drove from Oro Medonte to an airport that took me into the taiga plains mainly in the south eastern Yukon; it was on the way their I seen Lynx, Red fox, Marten, Snowshoe hare, Arctic ground squirrel I also enjoyed the nice smell of the paper birch and white spruce on our way there. Shortly after passing the Mackenzie River seeing all the nice fish such as lake trout and arctic grayling we arrived At Wood buffalo national park. At first we passed through the park Headquarters (Fort Smith) But when we got into the southern Yukon I noticed a temperature decrease and also a change in the animals and the habits of all the animals. I saw a lot of Wood Buffalo, Wood Bison, and Sandhill crane and to our surprise we saw bears.
Aaron Jackson Prof. P. Burgey English 1101-33Gai 7 November 2011 Herzog’s View Timothy Treadwell was a complex man with a love for nature and grizzly bears. During the course of his life, Treadwell spent thirteen summers studying grizzly bears in the Alaskan peninsula. For the last five of these summers he recorded footage of his stay and interaction with the bears. The purpose of his studies was to draw attention to the grizzly bears, with the hopes that this attention would stop the poaching of bears. While Treadwell gained some fame for his work, the public's real fascination was with the man behind the work.
It was a massive animal and I was most impressed with myself as I had my cousin take a picture of me and my trophy. I uploaded it to social media websites and showed it off to everyone. The biggest lesson I learned from hunting this animal is how patience eventually pays off in the end. No matter what happens never give up, through all the hardships and trials, always maintain focus and motivation, and your goal will be accomplished. This may sound simple and silly, but you can actually apply simple things in life, such as killing your first buck, to everyday responsibilities or goals to your outcome of your
In this essay, I will share the hunting custom of West Virginia and how it would maintain from an evolutionary, sociological, and ecocultural approach.

There was nothing more memorable than that to both of them. It was their annual deer hunting trip, up in the Rocky Mountains. It was a cold, but otherwise nice hike up to a lake that they would camp at. The two set up right along the water’s edge; a beautiful location to say the least. A small fire was built as they fished and told stories.
Sometimes we find animal skeletons and each of us try to guess what kind of animal it is. We even have the opportunity to watch wild life from rabbits to deer and on a rare occasion a gray fox. When we are out there where nature has been untouched, surrounded by nothing but beauty it easy to lose yourself in the adventure of the hunt. Soon enough the sun will start to go down and we head back to the pick up with our findings. Everyone is tired but happy.
