“In most places, an experienced hunter is as important to the ecosystem as are food, water, and shelter. A hunter limits the size of a herd or flock, so animals don’t overpopulate an area and end up starving to death or becoming diseased. You need to understand, however, that just as you consider the needs of your own domestic livestock, wild animals need to be shown respect and consideration when you hunt.Know Your QuarryTo be a successful hunter, you need to educate yourself about the game you... are hunting. One way to learn about your quarry is to understand its specific characteristics. Animals can be identified by four basic characteristics: markings, sounds, movement, and group behavior. Markings: the distinctive colors or patterns found on the body of the animal. For example, a male mallard duck (drake) has a teal-colored head, and the female mallard duck (hen) has a light brown–colored head. A male lion has a mane, and the female does not. It is important for you to be able to clearly distinguish your prey, not only by male and female, but also by species, to ensure you are not hunting out of season or hunting an endangered animal.Sounds: you are probably very familiar with the sounds of a cardinal or a woodpecker.MoreLessRead More Read Less
