Hunter-Gatherers was a group of people that lived 2 million years ago that acquired the use of fire. They developed a great knowledge of plant life and created technology for hunting. They originated from Africa and spread to Asia and Europe. When hunting, they learned how the animal behaved and how to hunt them. They soon learned tracking methods. They used clubs or drove animals off cliffs to kill them. They soon learned to use traps and would sharpen rocks to cut and eventually tie it a stick to make a spear. Eventually, Technology would allow them to make a bow then eventually a gun.
In this picture, you see three hunters using old animal hides to stalk and get closer to their prey. They are using spears.
Today there are about 16 million people that hunt in the United States alone. Today we use guns, traps, and bows. Also, today we still use some of their ideas, whether it is hunting with a bow or hunting in groups. Guns back then used to shoot like a BB, but heavier and bigger. These were ineffective and were not always accurate, so you might place a bad shot. With innovation, we have made our bullets better and more effective. I believe the technology we have today is best for the animals if used correctly. Like using a gun, if you place a good shot, it will kill the animal fast and put it out of its misery. Most people nowadays hunt to put food in the freezer, but some trophy hunt, to just get a wall mount. I believe trophy hunting isn’t bad along, as you also use the meat, which most people do. Hunting has been a hot topic, with accidents happening or poaching going on. I believe more people should experience hunting at least once. It is always an adrenaline rushing hunting an animal and getting food, rather than getting it from a store.

Interesting topic choice and good job overall Kumeper!
No I have never gone hunting because its jsut not fun in my opinion and a waste of innocent animals. I don't agree with hunting in some circumstances because a lot of innocent wild animals are killed when they don't need to be. On the other hand, in places like Alaska, some people do it for survival. I don't agree with trophy hunting because animal populations are dying and to go out and kill these animals is wreckless to earth and the environment.
I have gone hunting, I really enjoy hunting. Yes I agree with hunting, its a sport and it also keeps the population of the wild game animals in control so they dont overpopulate and end up dying anyway. And yes I agree with hunting with a gun too. I also agree with throphy hunting, it is like a sport to people.
I have went hunting before and it is very fun especially when you can shoot something. I agree with hunting because if no one killed any deer in the world there would be deer everywhere and they would be the ruling animal. I agree with tropghy hunting to a point. I agree with hunting with a gun because it makes it more fun.
I hunt with my dad and my dogs for pheasants. I know that without a gun I would be not even be close to getting a bird and I feel like they are essential. I agree with trophy hunting to a degree and hunting normally is okay. I like hunting even though im bad at it.
Yeah, I agree unless you got a good dog and it is able to catch it with its mouth. When I was talking about not hunting with a gun it was more like deer hunting, but I agree that they are essential and we need them. Same I enjoy hunting even though I am not the best at it.
I have gone hunting before. Yes and No, only because it all just depends on what is being hunted. If its providing you or others food and you don't just want the trophy and attention that comes along with it, I think that it could be okay. I think hunting with a gun isn't a problem as long as your not using it as a toy, and make sure to use it properly.
I agree with you. I enjoy hunting and being able to provide food for myself and others, but I do agree with trophy hunting as long as they use the meat and not just waste it. I agree that when you hunt with guns it's not a toy and should be used properly. That even goes with bows also they have sharp tips.
No I have not gone hunting, and I've never been interested in it. I think it is ok when done right. If it is providing you food and you don't just want the attention or praise from trophy hunting then I think it is ok. Trophy hunting just seems pointless, but many people would disagree. Altough guns are supposed to take the pain away, it obvisously still hurts a lot and sometimes doesn't complete the job.
I think you should go hunting one time to experience what it is like. I agree with you, it's nice when you do it to provide food and a meal for people, but most trophy animals are very big, so they have more meat. I think trophy hunting is fine as long as they also use the animal and not just trying to get ahead mount or its hide. If you place a good job it will make it much less painful and will kill the animal faster.
