What is the biggest reason for hunting? Many people argue over the fact if hunting should be kept or gotten rid of. It is a disputed item for many people. Hunting is a good thing and shouldn't be gotten rid of due to four main facts: it is a way of life, it can control animal populations, it is a job for some people, and it helps people physically.
A way of life
Hunting has been a way of life since the first man and woman were on Earth. The first Native Americans hunted; Christopher Columbus’ contemporaries hunted; the people of the twentieth century hunted; and the people of today ARE hunting. Hunting has been around for ages. More than 38 million Americans hunt(Hunting).
Hunting is used for the animal fur and the meat on the body, but some people take the animal to a taxidermist. Animal rights activists protest hunting but buy meat in a supermarket(Lin). Depending on the animal fur it can range in various amounts of money because of the animal and the quality. The meat can be sold as well for various amounts of money due to the size and the quality. Furthermore, the taxidermist cost varies due to the size of the animal and the complications of doing the job. Mainly people just keep the meat and throw away the fur, but some do keep the fur and make it into a jacket, rug, or some other item like a pair of boots.. A taxidermist makes their money off of the hunters who hunt so that is their way of live and if hunting is gotten rid of they lose their jobs. The negative side to this is: animal rights activists protest fur while wearing leather shoes(Lin).

From the hunting experiences that I have had, I agree with this statement one hundred percent.
First, hunting can be a source of relaxation. Sitting in the woods with nobody else around, far from the routine life, can be very therapeutic. One’s life is hectic with all the demands of everyday living. Running away from them, and having a time for oneself can be very healthy.” Even If you don’t makea kill , you will benefit from the peace and quiet sounds of nature“(National Geographic News ,March,2007). Moreover, hunting is a good method to rid oneself of pent up anger. Emotions may build up, and anger might fill the mind; hun...

...ine rush of pulling the trigger on a back strap platter!! They ask why do we hunt. We hunt because we love it. It is an inherited extinct that is deeply rooted in human nature around the world to have the urge and desire to hunt. Whether it’s ducks, squirrels, rabbits, deer, turkey, frogs, fish, dove, or deer, God has happily blessed us with delicious, savory, delectable, and 100% fulfilling, protein-packed meat that provides us with the nutrients and energy needed to live.
Hunters often reveal that being in nature provides time to clear the mind. In the woods, there is no rush, no schedule, and no deadlines; nature moves at its own pace. This interaction provides a deep spiritual connection with the land, the wildlife, and our planet. Hunting has been around since the beginning of time and has been in many people 's lives for generations, these are some reasons why people all across America continue to hunt. Hunting has many benefits such as reducing deer related car accidents, controlling deer densities in heavily human populated areas, creates jobs, and feeding and supporting families. Thus, deer hunting is necessary for several reasons.
Countless sportsman around the sphere commonly use guns for hunting. Occasionally this is the leading contributor to nourishing a family. Various men and women believe in supplying for their family in means of living off the land. Numerous animals are easy to come by in nature, which provides a variety of meat to hunters. To particular sportsmen this meat is superior to any store bought substance. Several sportsmen spend countless hours in the woodlands to pursue these animals. According to Bob Adams article, President Bill Clinton indicated in 1993 “I came from a state where half the folks have hunting and fishing licenses, this is a big part of American culture we even close schools for the first day of deer season.” Sportsmen prepare all y...

Hunting is a passion for millions of Americans across the United States and without it who knows what the current deer population would be. With the white tailed deer having few predators and a large habitat to thrive in it is important to keep the tradition of hunting going. Besides, the real problem Anti-hunters should be focusing on is the growth of cities and communities because they are what truly hurts the deer population. As long as deer hunting safety remains under control and the deer population stays in tacked, there should be no reason to end future hunts for Americans. To conclude, it is true that many people don’t believe in the ethics of hunting and that is alright, because regardless of how they feel hunting is here to stay for many years to
Many people have misconceptions about hunting. One such misconception is that hunting is easy and any person can go sit in the woods and wait for an animal to cross the hunter’s path. However, people who believe this are sorely mistaken. Hunting is not just sitting in the woods with a rifle; there are many other aspects that must be considered. An individual must have all preparations complete, purchase or gather the equipment needed, and know what to listen for while in the woods.
Hunting demonstrates the ability to protect and provide mainly referred to males providing their families with meat from the animals and protecting their land. (“Modern Hunters Are Stewards of Wildlife and the Environment.”) The economy today is very unsustainable and hunting is the key to feeding the hungry. (“Modern Hunters Are Stewards of Wildlife and the Environment.”) There are many food banks today that will accept the meat provided by animals and feed hungry organizations that cannot buy food themselves. What most people don’t know is most of the money used by hunters that go towards hunting licenses, hunting tags, and hunting lotteries to hunt in particular spots go to wildlife research and habitat protections in that hunters home state. With approximately 12.5 million hunters in the World today a lot more money gets sent to these organizations than people would ever think. Overall, hunting is a positive force because it provides an economic motive for maintaining wildlife habitats. This keeps animals in their own habitats and away from people and their homes as much as possible. Some see this sport very cruel and un-humane but overall it is helping this World out way more than people think. If we didn’t have people who hunt or knew how to hunt we would be very reliant on other foods. Such as farming fruits and vegetables, which could go extinct if something devastating happens. We wouldn’t have the protein and vitamins needed in the meat we eat. Hunting is very necessary, and everyone should know how to hunt or learn soon. It’s helpful now, and will be very helpful in the future if there is a reason we can’t rely on cattle for meat anymore. We will have to figure out other ways to get meat, and without hunting it is very unlikely that

Sport hunting has been going on basically since the human race existed. Back then, we needed it to survive and have a meal, but now that’s not so much the case. People now tend to hunt to be able to bring home a “trophy” or prize to hang on their wall and show it off. It’s very rarely used anymore as a source of food. It’s usually just sent off to a taxidermy place to be stuffed and sent back to the proud hunter. Some people argue that hunting is controlling overpopulation and preventing diseases, making money for the economy and decreasing chance of death or injury by hunting, while others argue its doing the exact opposite. Hunting to some is a tradition or a way of life, while to others it’s just completely unethical. Both sides of the argument have very valid reasons on why they chose a certain side, but hearing from both sides, it could be hard to choose one side completely. It’s a topic that’s easy to look at in many different perspectives.
One thing that i believe in 100 percent is “Why someone hunts is a personal matter. Many do it to spend time outdoors with friends or family. Others hunt to continue a tradition
The topic of my argument will preside on the question of: What are the consequences of hunting

Some hunt to provide food, while others hunt for enjoyment. Hunters are among the foremost supporters of wildlife conservation (1). Through many ways they help benefit wildlife.
