I listened to a video that talks about a story on hunting. This story i watched and listened to is  “THE PURSUIT OF R2 | 230" MULE DEER | 6 YEARS”. The man in the video tells the whole story and he is the one who made this video. His name is Martin Chagnovich. Throughout the story Martin tells what happened and what he did, also  how R2 got his name. R2 got his name after Martin's buddy Devon had taken another mule deer buck that has the same genetics and same potential and kickers as R2. Devon had called his buck “Radic” so Martin called his buck R2 or “Radic 2”. Martin had followed and tracked this mule deer for 6 years.

Mike Eastman Blazed Trails Forgotten is the youtube channel and it was an old timer story. Mike Eastman is the person in the video talking about the story. This is an old story dating back to 1965-1966. Mike, Mike's dad, and a family friend of theirs were on a hunt and Mike was still young, he was 17 at the time. They had to cross the Snake River in Wyoming and during that time there was snow. The river was icy and chunks of ice were floating down the river with the current. They had to be careful about floating and rowing across the river because the ice would drift underneath the rubber bloat up boat they had, the ice would get stuck and carry the boat down with the current. They also had to be careful when they were pulling onto shore because the ice was like razors at the edge of the water. Mike’s family friend took one of the paddles and cracked the ice until the ice was about 2 inches thick. Mikes sees a deer once they get onto the other side of the river and he asks his dad if he can shoot it, his dad tells him no cause we're going after the bigger buck we spotted across the river from the other side. So they get to a point where they can see the big buck that they were after, They make a game plan to stock up on this deer. Once they stock up on it they have the deer in range to get a good shot on him, they peak their heads over the brush and the buck turns towards them and sees mike’s dads black face outline in the snow and the deer stares them down, until the buck finally turns it head forward to check on the other deer, mike's dad puts up his rifle and fires a shot off and mike’s dad tells mikes that he hit him right behind the shoulder were the vital spots are. Mike's dad hand him the rifle and tell him to follow his track were the buck went and go finish him off if he sees the buck and he's still alive and he told mike that he was going to go get the boat and float it down the smaller river that splits down from snake river and right below this mountain we are at. After getting the deer they don’t cut it up into quarters, Mike drags the whole body of the deer down to the river below. 

This video is about how trophy hunting can help animals. It seems a bit off to say but if you look at the research it has rebounded the animals numbers to grow. Every hunter must be attended by a guide and that is their policy they have in Namibia. The way they hunt is to shoot and kill the older animals. The reason they only take the old ones is because the old animals just eat and sleep,  they  aren't active with the females to grow the numbers. They leave the younger animals for breeding with the female animals. They must do it in this process to keep the numbers growing and bringing in money for the villagers nearby. There is many ways people see it but there is more of two sides. One side is shooting the animal and taking its poor life. The second side is hunting the animal and taking its life in a humane way. Trophy hunting happens all over the world. Trophy fees can average from $600 for an impala, over $10,000 for a lion, and even more for an elephant(16,922), with the hunts themselves often costing more. In namibia there were only 12 white rhinos in 1968, since trophy hunting for them began in 1982, their numbers have rebounded to a little over 2,000. 

At first i didn't believe what the title said, until i watched the video. In the video they explained how their method of trophy hunting is helping the animals grow more and more. They only shoot the older bigger animals and leave the younger male animals to breed with the females because there is less competition since the older males are gone. They have to do it in this way to keep the numbers growing for the animals. if they don't do this for 5 years or more they could hurt the many animals they have saved and grown with this method of trophy hunting. 

This video i watched was about the Inuit People from Alaska and Canada. They hunt the caribou in the water on long canoes. They use six foot long spears with six inch blades to stab the caribou. They use their long canoes to steer the swimming caribou into their spears. When they are successful they use all of the caribou, none of it goes to waste. They use the bones to make sleds, needles, and weapons. The Inuit split the bones in half and put the holes at the of the bones and put the smooth side up for the sled to glide smoothly on the ice and snow. After putting on the bones they layer the bones with their own spit and smear it on there and it freezes. They also have a prayer song they sing before and during their hunt for the caribou's spirit. They sing this song in order for the caribou's spirits to hear them and want to be taken to their home and become their relative.

The Inuit People hunt caribou and when they hunt they believe that the caribou must be for them to be successful in the hunt. The Inuit sing a song as a offering to the caribou's spirit so that the Inuit man can feed his family and have utilities to make tools, sleds, needles, and weapons. The skin and fur is used for clothing,shelter, and blankets. When my family is successful on their hunts they also use the whole animal. They also have a feast for the animal just like we do and they also think of the animal of a relative. They do a lot of doing just in my home pueblo of Santo Domingo.
