Week 8 Posting Brody Carter

The main theme that I am seeing in my mini-ethnography is that hunting is a sport of conservation not killing. It seems like everything I find to support the sport of hunting is how it is a practice of conservation. I have found a lot of articles about deer hunting, and that if no one hunted the wild game population would be out of control. I think that in my member’s community they know they are help with conservation, but I don’t think that is the main purpose people hunt. It may be the main reason, but it seems like everyone knows they are helping with conservation, but they do not say they hunt just for that reason. I have yet to hear anyone from my community to say something about conservation.
My place in my subculture is that I am a member of it, and I have never felt more of a member than I do know. It is definitely different because I have become to know why more people hunt that I have ever known. When I talk to people about hunting before this class I would ask what they had harvested that year or previous years. Now that I am working on this project I have asked a lot of different questions that I would have normally not asked. These questions have made me have more appreciation towards other people’s view of hunting.
