Hunting - Liam S. Williams
Introduction
With food being one of the three primary needs of every living being, it is undeniable that hunting is the oldest profession of mankind. And just as one would think hunting would become nothing but an image on an old painting since there’s no practical need for it in the modern world, it survived and it thrived.
People engage in this activity for different reasons. Some aim to prepare themselves for the worst. Should the dreaded apocalypse become reality, they would have the necessary skills to, at the very least, feed themselves and survive. There are people, on the other hand, who see hunting as nothing but a fun hobby. Game are trophies, and their meat are nothing but additional reward for a hunt well done. And lastly, there are those who use hunting as a way to socialize and bond with like-minded folk. They use the activity as an excuse to escape the hustle and bustle of concrete jungles.
In your case, whatever your reason may be for finding interest in hunting, whether it be applauded by society or frowned upon, know that it is valid. Mankind has found ingenious ways to change the environment to suit his needs. It cannot be denied, however, that mankind still belongs in the wilderness. And whatever reason you may come up with, know that behind this excuse is an unconscious longing for the kind of thrill only the Earth can provide.
Because, however, most humans are raised out of touch with nature, their natural instincts have grown weak. Immersing back into the wild have become a dreadful thought. Several questions of what ifs
would plague the mind, and thus cause the will to shy back into dreaming. But that’s what this book is for. This will serve as your guide into the world of hunting.
From regulations (and why they exist), to hunting styles, gears and equipment, and to survival, butchering and cooking, you will find everything here. Also, information, tips and instructions are presented in a comprehensive manner for the benefit of beginners. In whatever hunting level you may be in, trust to find a friend and companion in this book.
Chapter 1 – Hunting: Learning the Ropes
Unlike other forms of recreation where you can mindlessly jump and splash into the activity, hunting will require wide and in-depth preparation. This, after all, is an activity that deals with life; the preys’, the environment’s, and yours. So for the first chapter of this book, you will be oriented on the different fields that surround the activity, and the measures and precautions that ensure a safe and ethical practice.

The Checklist
Hunters will share tales on how they got into the sport, and they will offer advice on how to start your career as one. It’s good to take note of these, but know that what worked for them may not work for you. Some started young—introduced into the sport by their parents—and this early exposure helped them develop skills and faculties they might not know are unique to them.
If you’re an adult without any prior experience in hunting, following the checklist below will ensure a safe introduction to the sport.
Take up Hunter Education Program or Hunter Safety Course
Familiarize yourself with your state’s hunting regulations
Review gun safety rules and practice shooting
Apply for a hunting license
Go hunt.
The checklist sounds simple and effortless. Beneath each step, however, is a train of information you would need to understand and embody to assure a successful and rewarding hunt.

1. Hunter Education Program
These programs can be taken online or out in the field. Of course, actual experience in a controlled environment makes for a wiser choice. Apart from the opportunity to gain and sharpen necessary hunting skills, these are specifically designed to familiarize you with the governing state’s regulations. Coupling this, however, with an online program also wouldn’t hurt, especially if you place significance over the tiniest details. There will inevitably be information in the readings that would either be excluded or forgotten in the field exercises. And it can
