Hunting History.
Hunting is a sport today, but for early men it was a way of getting food. Primitive men depended on killing wild animals for food. Primitive men depended on killing wild animals for food. Spears and axes for hunting were among the first articles made by men, in the Middle Ages, hunting was still a way for poor men to get meat for their dinner tables, but it was m ore a sport for the wealthy. It became a necessity again for the early pioneers of America. It is now almost entirely a sport.
Many persons do not like to hunt, because they do not like to kill wild animals and birds. The satisfaction most hunters get from the sport is in the outwitting of the game they are hunting. The hunter has the advantage over the animal or bird in his weapons. No animal can run faster than the hunter in other ways. They can run faster than a man, they know the woods better, and they can smell and hear much more than men can. A hunter must try to trick his game in order to track it down so that he can come close enough to shoot. He must learn the habits of the animal he is hunting and use this knowledge to good advantage. He must take advantage of the wind to prevent the game from locating him by smell. Many hunters enjoy hunting for the chance it gives them to study nature and the habits of wild creatures. Others like it for the outdoor exercise they get. In some kinds of hunting, especially of game birds, one of the great advantages is learning how to shoot quickly and accurately.
