years ago hunting wasn't just a Pastime it  was a matter of survival Our Journey Begins   deep in the forest of Africa where wild BS have  long been a prize catch one hunting method that   builds strength while providing bore meat is  bow and arrow hunting these bows and arrows are   often made from natural materials like rocks The  Next Step involves tracking the are areas where   wild BS are known to appear and hunting them down  dogs have always been Hunters greatest companions   in these precious hunts in some cultures Hunters  would dig deep holes covering them with branches   and leaves unsuspecting BS would fall into these  pits where they would be speared or captured   wild boore populations have always surged rapidly  thanks to their adaptability and High reproductive   rate another method that doesn't require a horse  but Demands a lot of patience is waiting by the   tree the hunter will approach the area where the  wild balls often visit scatter food and then climb   a tree to wait like this oh there's quite a  selection for him as around eight large wild   BS are gathering below the spear is thrown and  he scores a hit if this was you do you think you   could hit one armed with just a knife and a 4 M  rope we're ready for wild boar hunting this Hunter   observes the area where BS frequently roam next he  selects a tree that can be bent to set up a trap   then he ties the Rope into a loop with a 20 cm  diameter corn the B's favorite food is scattered   inside the loop trap as the B searches for  food and gets caught in the Rope it tightens   around the animal each trap like this can catch  around one B at a time but it's reusable and very   cost effective this rope can bear a heavy load  allowing it to capture BS weighing up to 200 to   300 kg although sometimes it only catches young  light BS BS are particularly cunning strong and   can be dangerous when cornered a herd of around  a dozen BS is out foraging and the hunter needs   to only pick the nearest Target and thir  he has taken one down with his simple tool   a sharp tip spear with this method the hunter  can choose which bought to hunt but of course   he needs a horse to keep up with them because  Wild Wars can reach speeds of up to 50 km an hour bison are some of the largest land animals  still living in Northern America today with males   standing around 2 m tall and weighing close to a  ton these massive creatures were Central to the   lives of many Native American tribes providing  not only food but materials for clothing   shelter and tools though not the hardest animals  to hunt bison are certainly amongst the toughest   to bring down as they can withstand multiple  shots from high powerered rifles and remain   standing for up to 30 minutes in the past the Hun  for bison was often conducted using a technique   known as the Buffalo Jump Hunters would drive  a herd towards a cliff using noise fire or even   and horses to create Panic as the Bison ran they  will be forced over the edge of the cliff falling   to their deaths or being severely injured the  tribe would then move in to harvest the meat   and HIDs in other regions these Hunters only  need a 2 m long spear like this in order to   hunt Buffalo first a group of around five hunters  will survey the area to track the movement of the   buffalo herd when the buffalos are off guard the  hunter quickly throws a spear down near its legs   to hinder movement and gradually wear it down even  after being wounded it could take 2 to 3 hours for   the animal to lose its ability to defend itself  some seasoned hunters will coat their Spears   with a paralyzing poison to shorten the hunting  time next we journey to the swamps and rivers   of Africa and the Americas where the waters team  with alligators and crocodiles some can even reach   1,700 lb these reptiles with their tough hides  and powerful jaws are formidable prey even for   the modern Hunter but Ancient Hunters developed  ingenious methods to catch them one such method   is the Ambush Hunters would carefully study  the habits of these reptiles learning when   and where they like to bask in the Sun or  swim in the shallow Waters arm with nothing   but a sharpened spear or Harpoon the hunter would  wait sometimes for hours until the perfect moment   presented itself when the alligator or crocodile  was close enough the hunter would strike with   Precision aiming for the vulnerable areas around  the eyes or underbelly Hunters would construct a   huge baited trap along the banks of the river  hoping to catch the creature by its powerful   jaws or legs once trapped the animal struggle  would alert the hunter who would then finish   the job with a spear or knife these methods  require not only physical strength but also   immense courage and skill as a single misstep  could easily turn the hunter Into The Hunted now let's shift our Focus to a smaller  but no less challenging prey the rabbit   found across Europe Asia and the Americas  rabbits have long been hunted for their   meat and fur given their size and speed  primitive Hunters needed to be clever   in their approach the snare is one of the  oldest and most effective methods used to C   rabbits made from materials like plant fibers  or animal senu these simple traps were set along   well-worn rabbit paths the loop of the snare would  tighten as the rabbit passed through catching   it by the neck or leg Hunters would set multiple  snares at once checking them periodically in order   to collect their catch this method requires a deep  knowledge of the rabbit's habits and an ability   to predict their movements another technique  involved driving rabbits into Nets with the help   of a feret a group of hunters and ferrets would  create a Ruckus flushing the rabbits out of their   Burrows and into strategically placed Nets this  communal effort was both effective and efficient   often resulting in a large Hall of rabbits that  could feed an entire Village moving North we   enter the dense forests of North Africa where deer  have always been an essential food source for the   indigenous tribes deer hunting is also commonly  practiced in the grasslands of Africa like this   after the harvest season men take on the primary  role of hunting wild animals wild deer are most   active during the fall so on a good day this group  of hunters can catch up to five deer each deer   could weigh up to 200 kg primitive Hunters often  employed a method known as stalking the primary   hunting tools are self-made bows and arrows the  Hunter's arrows are usually perfectly straight   the most important part is that the Arrow Head  used for hunting deer is carefully crafted with   a gradually thickening sharp point to ensure it  doesn't fall out after piercing the animal notably   the arrowheads are coated with a deadly poison  for mammals made with a sleeping puper mixed with   orange water or another fatal cardiac poison made  from the seeds of a Shan Joko however since fall   is also the mating season for deer the hunters  will only target a limited number of male deer a tense battle is going on wild animals  are encroaching on agricultural areas and   causing conflicts with the humans American farmers   and Hunters must stop millions  of wild animals to protect their Farms alligator encounters appear to be on the  rise in the US thousands of alarm calls were made   each year American farmers must prevent attacks  from around 10,000 alligators they can drift   into the city affecting sports and entertainment  activities they even enter areas where people live   and can affect their homes casualty incidents  continue to occur an 85-year-old woman was   attacked and killed just last year serious attacks  have caused Great concern as they have entered the   cities to stop the invasion in some states the  US have deployed guns to deal with this Menace   this is considered an urgent solution to deal with  the continuing attacks hunting is carried out in   swampy areas around cities to ensure maximum  safety for people when applying this measure   the number of reptiles decreases by 75% % on  average after each hunting trip Hunters can take   down creatures weighing 300 to 500 lbs studies  show that alligators often hide in areas near   Riverbanks and they like to lie under the shade  of trees based on this data farmers can shorten   the time to search for the creatures before  The Invasion few Hunters were willing to risk   Exterminating these fierce animals this has just  spurn them on to become bigger and hungrier than   ever as they are at the top of the food chain no  other Predator can attack them other than humans   but they are losing their fear of us this makes  everything in the hunt even more unpredictable   during hunting in Florida Hunters face the harsh  conditions of swamp environments the dense foliage   that provides places for alligators to hide  also limits Hunter's visibility Hunters must   be alert and sensitive to detect the alligator's  whereabouts before they flee or attack the hunters   use raw meat as bait to catch their prey  after that the hunter begins to approach   creating faval conditions for accurate shooting  shooting them in the brain will kill them the   fastest but when fighting an aggressive Predator  it is difficult to shoot accurately therefore   Farmers must undergo a six-month training process  alligator hunting season in Florida usually takes   place from August until November each year this  is an opportunity for those who love adventure   and want to try their hand at hunting but it is  also important in managing the wild populations   however FWC regulations and guidelines must be  strictly followed to hunt alligators in Florida   you need a valid hunting license binoculars will  help the hunters observe and accurately identify   alligator heads from a distance thereby creating  a chance of success and reducing the risks for   hunters in ideal conditions using a hunting rifle  from a distance of 30 to 50 m is the optimal   choice to ensure Effectiveness and safety when  dealing with these creatures hunting alligators   during the day gives Hunters an observational  Advantage Hunters have Clear Vision and this   helps them to find small movements on the water's  surface although hunting alligators is necessary   to control their population it helps to protect  the safety of people and other animals from this   threat but alligators play an important role in  maintaining biodiversity and the ecosystem they   live in they are an integral part of the food  chain and clean the environments up by their hunting America is witnessing a notable presence  of wild BS over the past few decades wild BS have   stormed into Louisiana they appeared everywhere  and left behind damage and destruction these   cases are increasing and the state government  has had to come up with counter measures wild   BS have Co fur small eyes large teeth connected  to strong Jaws these invasive wild BS can bring   a lot of trouble their presence in the area has  deprived native species of food sources deer are   one of the species that must leave an area when  the wild balls arrive conflicts between humans   and Wildlife have been reported from around the  world a typical example is the tense relationship   between the American people and wild BS the heads  of states are forced to take measures to limit   their encroachment some states allow hunting  of feral Hogs from helicopters with their speed   flying ability and altitude Hunters are required  to have a great technique wild BS run very   fast and they cause much chaos Hunters must aim  accurately and shoot them quickly to tank them   down hunting is mainly done in the evening and  lasts until early morning Hunters use different   methods to lure the wild BS Oak sap is spread on  the trees and it attracts the wild BS who like   to rub on them in addition some tools such  as simulated sound generators are also used   to increase the likelihood of a successful  hunt battles with wild animals always bring   excitement and drama Farmers actively search  based on the sounds emitted when the wild BS   move depending on speed and accuracy experienced  Hunters can hunt several wild BS in just a few   seconds the hunter spotted a pig ahead he gently  took aim and killed it neatly each shot must be   fast and accurate so that a single wild B  does not run away the head or chest are the   two preferred positions when shooting wild ball  this is because this has a higher mortality rate   this is how professional Hunters deal high  damage attacks that result in a successful hunt in addition conflicts between farmers and  wild primates are a global con ation issue of   increasing concern baboons are highly adaptable  to diverse habitats from jungles to urban areas   according to estimates from the US Environmental  Protection Agency there are currently more than   3 million invasive primates causing more than $1  billion in damage to the economy they roam on main   roads causing traffic congestion this increases  the likelihood for accidents to occur on the   road this not only affects people's Mobility but  can also delay public projects these monkeys can   live on people's rooftops damage infrastructure  and invade homes in search of food they cause   significant damage to the local economy with  annual losses estimated in Florida to reach   billions of dollars including repair costs this  has caused insecurity and anxiety in the community   according to the Florida Department of Health  there were 27 attacks this has not only scared   people but also caused serious injuries Farms  recorded more than a million dollars in losses   as baboons feeding destroyed Community Food  security therefore farmers are required to   take hunting measures to limit the invasion of  this population the hunting can be done with   the same caliber of rifle used in other hunts  a shot to the upper body or head can easily   take them down these creatures will run at the  slightest movement or noise so staying hidden is   important trying to stalk one of them is nearly  impossible as they will run ahead of you always   Out Of Reach they usually follow the same route  from their shelter to the feeding grounds they   usually go out in the morning and return in the  late afternoon based on this principle Hunters   can determine the direction and places where  they will gather the usual shooting distance   when hunting them is 100 to 150 M longrange  guns allow Hunters to detect them at a distance   without a risk to themselves this Hunter made an  accurate shot and took one down at a distance of   375 M Hunters often use compound bows with  precision and Powerful shooting ability each   hunting trip can catch four or five creatures  depending on the Hunter's skills and weather conditions the wild turkey is an iconic  American species having sustained Native   Americans for centuries through many periods of  recession and Recovery the Turkey population has   returned in overwhelming numbers and and it  has severely affected human life currently   it is estimated that there are nearly 6 million  wild turkeys in North America residents believe   that the injuries found on their pets on this  part of the island were caused by a breed of   wild turkey as Urban and Suburban turkey  populations increase wild turkeys roam the   streets this not only affects the environment  but also creates many dangerous situations   the wandering behavior of wild turkeys not  only distracts drivers causing delays but can   also cause unwanted collisions while turkeys often  become aggressive during breeding season sometimes   even attacking humans for species that can fly  like the wild turkeys fences do not stop them   of course Farmers cannot let this situation  to continue they choose to hunt them down   net trapping is dumb but it takes a lot of time  in the short term hunting is the most effective   control measure Hunters can easily track the  tracks left by wild turkeys on their land these   Footprints will shorten the search process in  winter when the snow falls things are much easier   for the hunters however the disturbance of wild  turkeys is no less wild turkeys may be hunted with   guns or appropriate archery equipment but local  rules and regulations May limit the use of these   tools in urban and Suburban environments these  fake turkeys act to lure the real wild turkeys   all that's left is to wait aim accurately and  knock down the target with one shot silence is the   key to a successful Hunt Hunters are so careful  that they prepare clothes that are almost green   in color to camouflage themselves when the target  appears the timing of the shot is carefully chosen   to ensure success hunting plays an important role  in managing wild turkey populations this helps to   minimize negative impacts on agriculture  and maintain balance in the ecosystem
