what do deer eat?

Deer are grass eaters, they have a relatively large rumen compare to body size, and depend heavily on grasses for their diet. Grasses are relatively low in crude protein and digestibility when compared with legumes or forbs. Deer feed on grass twigs, bark, and shoots. They also like carrots and sugar beets.  Deer also eat wheat stubs and other crops farmers plant, such as a favorite of their's, corn. They like to eat corn since that is what alot of people use to get them to come in there yards to hunt them. Even though they are luring it in, it's still good sportmanship.

Why you should clean your gun?

Cleaning your gun regularly is an important part of gun safety, reliability, and accuracy. It’s also an important factor in extending the life of your gun. It will protect the value of your gun too. Ideally, you should clean your gun after every use. Cleaning your gun is especially important in moist humid areas if you shoot in rainy or snowy conditions. After a long period of storage, inspect the gun thoroughly and clean the bore before use. Always make sure the gun is unloaded before cleaning and all ammunition is removed from the cleaning area. Follow all safety procedures for cleaning your gun. You need to take care of your gun like you would your kid. You always need to know whats up with your gun.

Why you have to wear hunters orange?

Hunters have to wear orange since other hunters need to see them from far away. That is so they do not mistake you as a deer and shoot you.  Many states require hunters not only to wear vests but also a hat. Some states require that 144 square inches of blaze orange be worn by hunters. This color is an alert to other hunters that someone may be in the area that another person is approaching. This color is an alert to other hunters and is meant to save a hunter's life, especially during hunting season. When hunters are hunting turkey where the ground is the same level.

Blaze orange is a inexpensive investment that could very well save a persons life. That is why hunters have to wear Blaze orange when they hunt.

Who started hunting?

Hunting started when people lived in caves they didnt start hunting for the big animals. They just wanted to kill animals for there hide for cloths and they didnt just kill them for their antlers. They wanted them for their meat, Hide, and antlers. They would use every little bit of their kill. They just didnt go out and hunt when they wanted too. They had to go get food for there familys.  They had to get it for there cloths and so that they could stay warm. They wanted to kill it since that they need too eat feed their Kids.  They just didnt feel like killing the animals for the fun of it they just had to Kill for a living. That is how Hunting started.

How Hunting Licenses Work?

You've waited for this day all year long. Yo­u've cleaned your gun and spent countless hours reminiscing about last season with your hunting buddies. This year's going to be the year, you're sure of it you will get the big gam you want. If there were no limits on how many of a specific species could be harvested in a year, an entire species could be wiped out by overzealous hunters who have been waiting all year to get out their guns.They assign licenses to these categories and sell them for a wide range of prices to waiting hunters. Once the licenses for a certain species are sold out, the hunters who were unable to purchase them have to wait until the next appropriate season. Hunting without a license is considered poaching.
While licenses depend greatly on the local species, here are some common license categories.

• Small game -- pheasant, quail, dove, squirrel
• Large game -- deer, elk, antelope, bighorn sheep
• All game
• Fishing -- depends on the area
• Migratory or game birds -- depends on the area­.

Within those categories there are different types of licenses.  Most states offer licenses to their residents for a discounted price and to nonresidents at full price.

Why can you only hunt certain game in certain seasons?

I got the Info From the web site of http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/outdoor-activities/hunting/regulations/hunting-season1.htm

People hunt deer to have them hanging over a fireplace or they want to have deer Hamburgers in there freezers. Some people want to have the jerky or just Some thing to do with there meat. You can only hunt game on a certain season since some people just got out there and kill them for the fun of it. I think it is good to be able to hunt only on the seasons you are only aloud too. I like it since that you need be be able to hunt the next year so that mean you have to leave some to be able to reproduce. The goal of setting hu­nting season dates is t­o manage animal populations.If the population is too large, regulators will time it to give hunters a greater advantage in the harvest.Hunting is a Big business It is eather a living job for them or it is just what they do for a job. They try to find out how many deer a killed in a season to see if they need to work on To Higher the seasons or lower it. I think that they should not be able to hunt On offf date seasons since it now far for all of the other hunters that can hunt till season.
