Hunting
The Great Outdoors
For thousands of years, people had to hunt and gather their food for survival. Readers discover a variety of ways to hunt, along with the many kinds of game hunted. Readers will learn why rifles are used rather than shotguns in some instances, and why other hunters use bows and arrows. Readers will also learn the important steps hunters take to stay safe as well as to prevent the overhunting of animals. Though sometimes controversial, hunting will continue to be a pastime for years to come.
