America's Hunting Heritage

Fall is here, the leaves are changing color and the mornings are cool. My eldest son and I are going to try our hand at deer hunting next month. Of course we'll be taking along our trusty old Mosin Nagant rifle, and I hope we can take a deer with it, and put some venison meat in our family freezer. We've only shot the rifle at the local gun range at paper targets, but I've always wanted to try it out for hunting. Our deer hunting will only be a day trip, and I'm just planning to walk the woods in the hope of spotting a deer. Hunting for me is not exactly a passion, but I do enjoy the outdoors, and hunting is a good way to do so. Hunting is a cherished tradition in America, and we are blessed to live in a country where hunting rights are protected and preserved. Many countries don't have the luxury of large tracts of public land to hunt on, nor laws that allow them to do so. America has a long tradition with hunting that goes back to the Pilgrim fathers and colonies of the 17th century. Hunting is a valuable activity for the economy, and promotes preservation and protection of natural resources. Bye for now, and happy hunting!
