Land Tenure and Use in Native American Culture
Native Americans believe they are closely linked with the land and everything that grows on the land or lives on the land. Because of this belief, the idea of "owning" land did not exist among the Native Americans. They lived off the land, but did not consider that they owned it. This is not to say that they shared the land with other tribes, because they did establish territorial rights to certain parts of America among the many tribes. Intrusion into another tribe's territory was considered an invasion and was often met with warfare.Before contact with Europeans, most of the Native Americans lived in hunter/gatherer communities composed of small populations of people. A few tribes had settled into...
Outdoor Team Development - Harmless Fun or Serious Learning?
The Sales Director had organised a great conference; the venue was first class, the service excellent and the content of the workshops and presentations very motivational. The only potential "fly in the ointment" was the team-building afternoon which was scheduled to take place outdoors as evidenced by the memo outlining the fact that waterproof jackets, trousers and boots should be brought along to the conference.The "rumour-mill" was working overtime. "We're going abseiling." claimed one sales representative. "No, I have heard it is an orienteering challenge." claimed another. "That river close by must be in the equation. Maybe there are canoes involved - or even rafts!" Minds were going into over...
Bowhunting - How To Shoot With The Bow and Arrow
First, brace your bow. To do this properly, grasp it at the handle with your right hand, the upper horn upward and the back toward you. Place the lower horn at the instep of your right foot, and the base of your left palm against the back of the bow, near the top below the loop of the string. Holding your left arm stiff and toward your left side, your right elbow fixed on your hip, pull up on the handle by twisting your body so that the bow is sprung away from you. The string is now relaxed, and the fingers of the left hand push it upward till it slips in the nock.Don't try to force the string, and don't get your fingers caught beneath it. Do most of the work with the right hand pulling against the...
Bow Hunting
Bow hunting refers to the act of hunting with a bow and arrow. The bow is made of a strip of flexible material like wood. A cord links the two ends of the strip to form a tension. An arrow is a straight shaft with a very sharp point on one end and usually feathers are attached to the other end. The arrow is propelled from the cord of the bow.The bow and arrow is the most common hunting weapon. Arrowheads were initially made of burnt wood. Later, arrowheads were made of bone or stone, as well as metals. The bow was made of wood or bone. The bow and arrow became a very powerful weapon for hunting with the invention of the compound or composite bow. A composite bow is made of various materials, which...
Deer Hunting on the Move: Stillhunting for Deer, or, Getting off the Stump
Deer hunting on the move, or stillhunting, is commonly misunderstood as to what it is and how to go about it. It is stalking deer, not waiting on a stump or in a blind for the deer to come to you. It can be the most rewarding deer hunting experience you can do. It can also be the most frustrating, since it is a skill which requires you to slow everything everything - your sight, your breath and your walking gait. But the payoffs go beyond the hunt to your better enjoyment of nature itself.This article will talk about some things I've learned while hunting deer in the Vermont woods and oak mast ridges of Wisconsin. These few simple techniques can be used on your next hunt - whether you choose to...
Lake Erie Football Season
Fall normally means the beginning of football season. To the Lake Erie bass angler it means jumbo-size, `football' shaped smallmouth bass. August to late October/November is when Lake Erie's fat-n-sassy bronzebacks begin to put on the feed bag and begin to stock up for winter. Now is the time to catch one of the lake's best game fish and certainly regarded by many as Erie's best battlers. With the unexpected introduction of the Zebra Muscle in the late 80's, the Lake Erie Smallmouth Bass really took off into something just short of spectacular. With the cleaner and clearer water resulting from the zebra muscles, bass will encounter with a vengeance any preferred bait when presented correctly. Tip...
The Boykin Spaniel: Made In America
The Boykin Spaniel is a dog that is considered to be a truly American breed developed in South Carolina, using stock from such breeds as the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, the Springer Spaniel, the Cocker Spaniel and the American Water Spaniel. The breed is indeed an "american invention" bred for a strange but specific purpose in the early 1900s. The hunters of South Carolina hunted the swamplands of the Wateree river and due to the scarcity of roads in this wild country, the hunters liked to use a style of boat that could be taken apart and put into pieces in the back of the wagon or carted overland across stretches of wilderness. They needed a hunting and retrieving dog that was small enough to fit...
Bring The Distant Views In Close With High Quality Binoculars
As a child one of my favorite pastimes was exploring the world through my binoculars. They went everywhere with me. I could spy on everything from trees, to birds to tiny insects passing by. I took them with me everywhere I went always looking for the next adventure. We lived on a big farm out in the middle of nowhere, so I had plenty to explore. My binoculars are more than a childhood memory, I still have them. I love to take them out and share them with my son in the hopes he will discover the same joy I remember feeling. It is like looking through to another world.Today there is so much more to look at. The world has been changing and technology with it. I now enjoy using my digital camera to...

Endangered Animals of Peru
Animals are considered endangered when they are at risk of extinction, either because there are only a small number of them left, due to threats from changes to their environment, shifting of predator to prey ratios, and other factors. Nations over the last 50 years have developed laws to protect species form becoming extinct; however few species actually get on these lists. Many become extinct without the attention or protection of humans, though it is true that in probably all cases over the last century, the machinations of humans have caused the imbalances that have led to the disappearance of thousands of animal and plant species. Especially within the last century and a half, species have been...

Why Interest Rates Do What They Do
Three economists go hunting and come across a large deer. The first economist fires and misses three feet to the right. The second fires and misses three feet to the left. The third doesn't fire, but shouts out with great excitement, "we got him, we got him!"You need to borrow and your lender gives you a choice between a fixed rate and a variable rate loan. Which do you choose? Or, you have excess funds that you don't need for a while. Do you buy a fixed rate government note, or put the money in your business' money market fund? This should simplify things for you and give you what you need - without firing two shots and thinking that, on average, you hit the mark.When you finish reading this in ten...

How to Tame Wild Kittens
Over the past several years, the wild mother cat who has taken up residence in our barn in rural Wisconsin has given me many opportunities to figure out how to tame wild kittens. The mother cat always hides her kittens very well, and then, when they are big enough to leave the nest and are big enough to eat kitty food, she brings them out and expects me to feed them. When the wild mother cat brings her kittens out of the nest, it is the first time in their lives they have seen a human being, and they tend to be hissing, spitting bits of fluff that really look as though they mean business. And since they already have teeth and claws, I would rather not push the issue. I also would rather not let them...
Backpacking Checklist
A backpacking checklist is usually about the "stuff." Good equipment is nice to have, but even with the best gear you can get into trouble in the wilderness. You might have matches and the latest fire starters, but still not be able to get that fire going. It takes more than good gear to assure a safe and enjoyable trip. Towards that end, then, this is a list of skills you should have or learn.1. Navigation. Contrary to what many novices think, a compass doesn't tell you where you are. For that matter, a map doesn't either, if you don't know how to use it. Practice close to home if you can't yet use both of these easily. Do the same with your GPS unit.2. Staying warm. There are tricks to staying...
The German Wirehaired Pointer
The German Wirehaired Pointer comes from a country that has a long tradition of breeding dogs with purpose and careful attention to maintaining the strong instinctive drives of the dog. In this case, the hunting instincts of the breed were derived from the German Pointer and the Pudel Pointer and the bramble resistant coat was brought in from the Griffon. The general public has held the mistaken idea that the German Shorthaired Pointer and the German Wirehaired Pointer are the same breed but with a difference in the coat. This is incorrect.. the German Wirehaired Pointer is a separate breed and has different characteristics physically and instinctually. Some people know it by the German name of...
PROLONGED SEAL HUNT STIRS UP MOUNTING FEAR WORLDWIDE
Fact: Seasl are almost everyone's favorite sea animal This year, this favorite sea creature is an exploration of profit obsession in Newfoundland, and the effects are far greater than expected. People tag it "inhumane seal hunt." Why? - Because this important industry, as some supporters call it to be, is causing quite a stir among concerned individuals and agencies with the over quota for many years now. The call for boycott against Canadian seafood restaurants and some other establishments that seem to side this industry is not intentional so that they will lose business. It is merely to make a point. Point, that is, although we see value in the employment and capital generated from this industry...

Birds - The American Bald Eagle
The American Bald Eagle was unofficially chosen as a National Symbol in 1872, when the Constitution of the United States was ratified. It was not officially nominated as such until 1788. There was a heated debate, led by the great statesman Benjamin Franklin, about this bird becoming the National Bird. Mr. Franklin wanted the turkey which he thought better symbolized the clean, honest, and more straightforward ideals of the American people. His bid was lost, however, in 1789 when George Washington became the first President of the USA, and the Bald Eagle was officially adopted as the "First Bird".The American Bald Eagle is the only eagle which is native to North America and it's only on its...

Hate Your Job? Take Action Before It's Taken For You
Ever been fired and it was a complete surprise? If you have, it shouldnt have been. You missed the cues. Whether you created it or the company decided it, you lost control of your career. Frequently those two are intertwined, and if you dont dissect the experience, you may recreate it. A Gallup poll found that 77% of Americans hate their jobs. To me, thats not a surprising discovery because most people, before they begin their job hunt, dont do the examination to learn what their perfect job is. And after a few years -- or sooner disillusion and distaste set in. This, combined with fear of change, creates what they wanted: to be outta that lousy place. In other words, if you dont tune in...

Deer Hunters Are a Strange Species
Before there were grocery stores and fast food restaurants, people hunted for food. Some still do. In fact, according to the results of the 2001 U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service survey, there are estimated to be 10.9 million people who hunt big game.Hunting seasons and limitations are occasionally regulated according to the current animal population number. This is, in part, to maintain a good balance between game, birds and smaller animals, and their available food.Hunters do more than kill animals. They help the environment maintain the balance mentioned above. They also help wildlife conservation efforts with the license fees and taxes they pay. And, they aid law enforcement whenever possible by...
