Turkey Hunting - Feb 12, 2008 - 10:32:23 AM
One of the most popular ways to hunt turkeys is with a bow and arrow. It is a tradition in North America, apparently, that relies on turkey calling and making the perfect shot. There are many agencies and organizations in place to both put a stop to turkey hunting and to support the tradition of turkey hunting. Like most warring factions, these two groups will stop at nothing to try to prevent the overtaking of their ideals. One cannot typically pick a side on an issue, however, without knowing the issue itself. It is important, therefore, to get as much of a foundation in the information on turkey hunting as possible to guide an informed decision.

The Nature-Friendly Hunter - Feb 12, 2008 - 10:31:34 AM
The nature-friendly hunter’s motto is: Leave the woods the same as when you came.  Well, minus an animal or two of course.  If you are going to be camping overnight, try to disturb as little of the environment as possible.  Don’t clear brush unnecessarily.  Try to envision your trip as an overnight stay at someone’s home.  You are a guest in the habitat of many animals and some you aren’t even aware of.

Survival Tips for The Hunter - Feb 12, 2008 - 10:30:45 AM
Sometimes it’s easy to lose your way in an unfamiliar wood.  Carrying a compass and maps of the general area that you will be hunting in can help in the event that you get lost.  Carry a flashlight with extra batteries in case you get caught out after dark.  There are also flashlights on the market now that operate by just a shake, eliminating the need for batteries.  Matches in a waterproof case are essential and a sharp knife is good to have as well. A traditional Bowie or a Swiss Army knife both serves the purpose.

Quail Hunting - Feb 12, 2008 - 10:29:54 AM
Quail hunting is one of the top sports for those on the upper crust of society. It is considered the top game or hunt of the aristocracy and is practiced by vice presidents and world leaders to this day. Quail hunting is typically considered this way because it demands a lot less of the hunter in comparison to other hunts. It does not take place in the morning, for example, or in the shivering cold. Instead, quail hunting can be done in relative comfort and can actually be quite stylish. For this reason, many people in the upper class of society try quail hunting.

The Joy of Duck Hunting - Feb 12, 2008 - 10:26:31 AM
Duck hunting is one of the most popular hunting sports in the world. It is as much a social calling as it is a hunt, in fact, representing a whole set of cultural standards and etiquette rules that many people do not even consider. It has a whole culture all its own, from a proper dress code to duck hunting dogs and assistants. The world of duck hunting is ripe with cultural significance, but is also has a dark side and represents a less than desirable aspect of human nature. Regardless of the point of view, there is something to be learned about duck hunting that may shed some light on either side of the ethical quandary.

Exploring the Dangers of Bear Hunting - Feb 12, 2008 - 10:23:12 AM
For some reason, people seem interested in the notion of tracking down a bear through the wilderness and killing it. While it may seem strange, there is a small cult of people that follow bear hunting considerably and make it an active part of their lives. These people tend to find generalized hunting a little too “tame” for their tastes and instead lurk after the lumbering bears of the forest. Often seen as an attempt to prove their manhood, bear hunting is a dangerous and largely unnecessary sport that typically challenges all notions of natural balance and order. Instead, most bear hunting aspects lead to dangerous outcomes or to the possibility of extinction.
