How hunting Can Be Helpful.

Although many people people see hunting as unnecessary, that's false. Last year they cost over fifty two million dollars in damage to crops, in Texas. The more damage done to farming land the more money lost by farmers. The more money they lose the higher food prices are, costing everyone. The farther north they move the more damage cost. hunting and trapping are the only way they can be stopped. The feral pigs have liters of 10 to 15 piglets every four month making them almost impossible to control.  Wild hogs are found in over 230 of the earths 254 countries causing billions of dollars in property damage. this problem has become so big that several states have legalized use of vehicles and and helicopters to bring their spread to a stop.

Hunting gadgets Good or Bad?


While some may argue that new advancements in technology diminish skill they have many advantages. Such things as new broad heads for arrows, this advancements help make a quick and clean kill. Even with a bad shot a quick and clean can be made. All hunters have the goal of making a quick clean kill. Things like range finders help this, If a persons judgement on distance is off there arrow or bullet could miss vitals. Range finders take the questioning out of distance. Hunting has also become much safer. New tree stands and safety harnesses help keep the hunter safe. Traditional stands were built out of wood and nailed to trees. The nails and wood rot out, and when a hunter is on the weight causes them to give. It is estimated that one in three hunters will fall out of a tree stand in there lifetime. Now with the introduction of the safety harness the number is decreasing. With the newer rifles bullets travel farther and cause more damage causing a concern for other. stray bullets will fly for over a mile. Putting lots of people at risk. Now people are relying on hunters to use there common sense and see beyond the target and know what could happen if they miss.

Hunting a controversial topic?

Although hunting is one of the oldest practices known to man many no longer believe that it is no longer necessary. Anti-hunters from  http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/ovic/ consider the hunters "blood thirsty and profit driven". Although hunters miss vital area and wound a deer the goal of all hunters is to make the quick and clean kill. All hunters try to only use one shot.
People who don't hunt will never understand buck fever. Even the most experienced hunter will suffer from this. This will cause your heart to pound and you start to shake. this is a huge adrenaline rush, this is one of the main reasons we hunt know, hunters are not blood thirsty and profit driven. Hunters never rush there kill they will leave it for twenty to thirty minutes to insure it dies and does not get up and continue to run. the quicker the deer lays down the quicker it dies. hunters will maintain this theory and keep the sport alive.

Why man hunts

Man originally started to hunt based on a biological need for food. men had to kill animals at a close range with spears. They had to work as a group cornering a large animal to make the kill. 
Overtime hunting has changed. With the growth over supermarkets the hunt became a game. it is no longer based on the need for meat. Many will keep the meat to eat but others hunt for the head. Many just want to get the big buck mounted on the wall. More people become hunters because of its ease. With new technology hunters sit outside the animals senses and kill.
