Survey

I made a survey about my blog. The people I surveyed were all of the ages 17-18 in the English class that I am taking part of during this semester. The First question that i asked this age group was:
    Where would you prefer to go hunting if you could go hunting anywhere in the world?
a) Africa
b) South America
c) New Zealand
d) Yukon
Out of 25 students over half of them said they would rather go to Africa. Some of the wild game you could hunt in Africa are; lions, zebra, antelope, water buffalo, wild hogs and many more. If I had a choice to go to one of these places from my survey question would probably be Africa because they have so many different animals that you could hunt but the main animal that i would wanna hunt for would be either a huge trophy lion or a trophy water buffalo.

The second question that i asked was:
   What would you rather use?
a) a rifle
b) a bow
c) a crossbow
d) a shotgun
c) a spear
From all the people that i surveyed most of them said they would wanna hunt with a rifle. There are many different types of rifles there are; 30-06, 308, 223, 22, 30-30, 17 HMR, 303 British, 300 Win Mag, 7 MM, 8 MM and many more. My favourite gun to use would be a 308 model 88  Winchester, lever action.

The third question that i asked to the class was:
    What animal would you rather hunt?
a) whitetail deer
b) dull sheep
c) Canadian moose
d) black tail deer
e) wild hog
f) Alligators
g) fish
There were two types of animals that people prefer to hunt. Those two animals were whitetail deer and alligators. The animal that i would hunt out of all my choices would be the dull sheep just because you are in the beautiful mountains and they look nice sitting on your wall.

The fourth question that I asked was:
    Who is your favourite famous hunter?
a) Jim Shockey
b) Steve Irwin
c) Elmer Fudd
d) David Crockett
Most of the students I surveyed in my class most of them said that their favourite famous hunter was Elmer Fudd. Why they picked Elmer is beyond my knowledge but if i was to pick any of these choices it would defiantly be Jim Shockey. I chose Jim because he inspires me to hunt just because he is an amazing hunter and he teaches you a lot about what to do when your hunting.
Now for the last question I asked the class was:
    What hand do you shoot?
a) right
b) left
c) don't hunt at all
Now for the last question, most of the people said they were a right hand shot. But we all know that most of them probably dont hunt and that was the second most picked out of the three answers.

                 This is another map of hunting zones but of Southern Ontario. The five hunting zones in particular would be 63A, 58, 64B, 64A and 65. These hunting zones are right from Griffith straight to Ottawa. These zones would be the most prime for me is because that's where i live closest to so it's easy access for me to hunt.
                                
     This is a map of different zones of hunting in Northern Ontario. This map shows hunting zones farther than Thunder Bay all the way past Timmins.

Jim Shockey hunts New Zealand Tahr (mountain goat)


This video can teach you a lot of things about hunting. Like I bet you didn't know that there was that many different types of goats all over the world and I also bet you didn't know that there wasn't any big game on that on side of the island until the Europeans came in contact and then the big game populatin had been introduced. Also, it teachs you about hunting with a  muzzel loader from far distances.

Real Tree A.P Camo Jacket

This a full Real Tree A.P camo jacket. These jackets are meant to keep your sent inside your clothing so that when your in the outdoors hunting for your game of choice, they won't pick up your sent and just keep on trucking. Also, it is made out of fleece. The jacket it's self is whisper quiet, this means that when you are in the bush and in your tree stand and you see this enormous  12 point buck walks out as quiet as he possibly can and you go to move to pull up your brand new, never killed anything with your Matthews Z7 full Real Tree A.P camoed bow and all of a sudden your jacket makes a noise.... and then you just hear this whistle from this big boy snorting at you because he now knows your there and just disappeared into the dense bush. That is the point of the wisper quietness of this full Real Tree A.P camo jacket.

Matthews Z7 Compound Bow

This is one of the best compound bows you can buy on the market today! It’s technology is one of the most advanced out there. It has a sphere lock pivoting limb cup system that provides a constant and downward limb pressure to ensure the fastest and most accurate bow today. Also, the parallel limb system provides a smoother shot because the more the two limbs are parallel they are, the more they cancel out the vibration and recoil that make you bow shoot a little off. Another thing about this bow is that it has an 80% let off point. This means that when ever you are pulling your bow back you are pulling all 80 pounds of pressure until a certain point, then it reduces that pressure by 80% which makes you able to steady longer and not as much stress on your shoulders. One last feature is the ball bearing idler wheel, this makes for a smoother draw and less noise when you pull back your bow.
