Week 7 Blog Brody Carter

I can give back to my subculture by hopefully eliminating some of the stereotypes of deer hunters. I also hope to maybe encourage people to hunt or enhance their knowledge about what deer hunting is all about. I hope that people will read my mini-ethnography and realize the importance of hunting. People need to understand that it is not just about going out into a wood and killing a deer. There are more important truths and values to deer hunting than just the killing aspect of it. I hope I can give back to my community by encouraging the donation of venison (deer meat) to the hungry. If maybe deer hunters knew that they could donate venison to the hungry, then a lot of people would be fed instead of having tons of meat go to waste.
This mini-ethnography has greatly improved my research skills. I have learned how to use a lot of useful tools to be able to complete this assignment. I have also learned interviewing skills, and become more sociable around people that I have never talked to before. I also hope I have improved the classes’ knowledge about the sport of deer hunting, and maybe changed the minds of people who think hunting is wrong.
