Things you dont know about hunting.

There are many things that i didn’t know about hunting and I’m sure there a lot for other people. Hunting has been an American tradition since the ice age. Also hunting is considered a sport.  Has anyone heard of a drop tine? Well if you don't, it’s a deer with a point on his rack grows in upside down. This is very rare. How about a half rack? When a deer losses its rack in February and March both there antlers fall off. But if a Buck or a male deer gets into a fight with another buck it could lose one antler. This then means it only has half of its rack! For example say a deer gets into a fight with another deer, the antlers could get tangled up and either the deer ends up dying or its antler falls off.  Some other things we will be talking about are hunting calls and other fun stuff. Hunting calls are calls. Such as a Grunt call. That is a call that makes the noise of a deer to attract them closer to the hunter himself. Also a turkey call, you have a thing you move back and forth and it scratches that sounds like the noise the turkey makes. I bet you didn’t know that the main coyote call in the wild is a distressed cat! I guess that when a cat is in trouble it makes a weird noise. And then the coyotes will surround the thing that’s in trouble. Coyote hunting is one of the greatest  things you can do says a Pennsylvania game commissioner.  “Calling a coyote into shotgun range is one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had in the outdoors,” said Perry County Wildlife Conservation Officer Steve Hower. http://www.wellsvilledaily.com/outdoors/x1328937303/Pa-Game-Commission-urges-coyote-hunting.
