What are the advantages of hunting?
Hunting is a tradition that many cultures have followed for centuries. It was used to obtain food, clothing and shelter. In modern times, people still hunt for sport, but also for food and recreation. The meat of hunted animals is typically eaten within minutes after they are killed, while skin, hair, feathers, bones and antlers can be sold as trophies.
Hunting isn't just a way of eating; it's a lifestyle.
Hunting people have strong relationships and friendships. They spend time together. They share stories and experiences at campfires, and over meals.
Hunters enjoy nature and wildlife, which helps them appreciate life on Earth.
When they take care of wild animals, they learn respect and responsibility.
Because they practice conservation, hunters become better citizens. They protect species and habitats. They know how much water and land we need to survive.
Hunters are part of a community. Their families are dependent on them. They support one another. They support local businesses.
Hunters also give back to society. Many Hunters donate money to support children, seniors, veterans, or other groups.
Hunters can also volunteer their time to help those in need. For example, they could work with the Humane Society of the Red Cross.
Why is it that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), only estimates that 1% of hunters kill a deer each year?
USDA estimates that about 6 million Americans hunt deer. Of these, only about 2.2 million actually shoot one.
This means that only about 0.6 percent of all hunters kill a deer each year.
