By Jerry Hughes


The pursuing of animals, trapping and killing them is known as hunting. It is done by hunters for the purposes of either food or for entertainment. This exercise can also be defined as the art of trapping and killing of animals. This practice either can be lawful or unlawful. The lawful version is where the hunters are given the permission to conduct their activities. Unlawful version is illegal killing of animals which is also referred to as poaching. Barbary sheep hunting can be legal and illegal depending on the place.

In specific areas, hunters remove dangerous predators from among domestic animals. Illegal hunting is done only for trade. Rhino horns, elephant tusks and animal skin are goods used in trade activities after illegal hunting has taken place. Another form of hunting is fishing. The activity has been practiced since feudal times.

This activity has a long history since the early days of man. Evidences indicate that early people were mostly hunters and gatherers. This can be seen from their early tools that consistent of mainly spears, bows and arrows. Even today especially in Africa some communities still hunt for food among other needs. This practice has led to extinction of some animals resulting to multiple environmental problems.

Antelopes are members of even-toe species of animals. They are indigenous to various parts of the world most especially Africa. The spread of antelopes across the world was due to importation example the united states. They possess spectacular leaping and evasive skills. Antelope hunting is the practice of trapping or killing antelopes.

Antelope hunting is quite a worldwide activity only in areas they are found. They are hunted down for their skin, horns and for food. The United States imported the antelopes from other places for game hunting. They are hunted down for their meat which is said to be quite a delicacy and their skin is used in the leather industry for shoe making. The horns are used in the making of decorations in the house and commercial places such as hotels and also the making of jewelry.

The activity offers a lot of fun and outdoor experience to people. Savannah grasslands are regions where the antelopes are mostly found. There should be permission given out from the relevant authorities to hunters before they can hunt game. This kind of activity requires one to be fit since the activity involves long walks. Because of the sharp eyesight of the antelopes, an individual has to be quick and diligent because it is very easy for the animal to escape.

Antelopes also occupy mainly public open spaces and one needs to practice camouflaging in order to get close and hunt them. In order to do this belly crawling under the grass is one of the things hunters need to familiarize themselves with. They usually exist in herds one can also kill them using a long distance rifles.
