Homer Huntsman And Dogs
Homer painted A Huntsman and Dogs in the year 1881. This paint depicts a man on a barren plain with his dogs. The man depicted is holding a deer carcass in one hand and a gun over his shoulder in the other. He has one foot on the root of a tree stump with an erect stance as he looks out. The stance that the man has, along with him carrying a gun and a deer carcass shows the power he has over nature. The viewer can infer from the gun and the dead deer that the deer was shot and killed by the man. He, the man, has the upper hand in nature boosting his chances of survival and prospering.

    Why Is Hunting Ethical

    Hunting has done more to promote wildlife conservation than animal rights activists have ever done. The man responsible for the entire wildlife conservation program in the United States, Teddy Roosevelt was also an avid hunter. He believed that his passion for hunting was also a way to preserve the sport for generations to come. Hunting is one of the few true great American pastimes, but it is being threatened by people that have know understanding of what hunting really is all about, they don’t see the pure beauty of the sport.
