Hi everybody. My name is Ruben van Burkle and today I'm gonna be sharing with you.
- 00:05 - 00:10
My I. S. U. Media presentation um on hunting,
- 00:11 - 00:13
I chose hunting because it's a it's a main theme in
- 00:13 - 00:16
the novel that I read the moon of the crusted snow.
- 00:16 - 00:20
Um I really enjoyed the novel as it highlighted hunting a lot.
- 00:20 - 00:23
There was a lot of different areas where depicted hunting
- 00:23 - 00:26
really well and I really enjoyed reading through that.
- 00:26 - 00:30
There was also a couple areas that depicted
- 00:30 - 00:32
fishing and trapping and gathering scenarios
- 00:33 - 00:34
which I really enjoyed
- 00:35 - 00:37
to start off here.
- 00:37 - 00:40
I included a couple of different photos from
- 00:40 - 00:43
some fishing experiences I've had in the past.
- 00:43 - 00:48
Um Starting on the top right, I have two smallmouth bass that I caught below.
- 00:48 - 00:50
It is a pickerel. To the left is a pike.
- 00:51 - 00:55
Um To the left of that is more pickerel and in the top left corner is a bourbon
- 00:56 - 01:00
bourbon are very rare fish and I felt pretty privileged to catch it.
- 01:02 - 01:05
One of the first things are gonna be touching on is the origin of hunting.
- 01:06 - 01:08
So hunting started off as a nomadic thing
- 01:08 - 01:11
in which our ancestors
- 01:12 - 01:15
searched for different things that they could eat, plant and grow.
- 01:15 - 01:20
Um And this is where people refer to as a hunter gatherer stage.
- 01:20 - 01:22
Um After that was the beginning of a hunting
- 01:22 - 01:26
revolution in which people started to develop techniques to
- 01:26 - 01:31
target different certain species of animals and they also
- 01:31 - 01:34
developed things to lure animals and trap them and
- 01:34 - 01:37
and things such as that after that was when
- 01:37 - 01:40
agriculture and livestock farming started to come in.
- 01:40 - 01:43
Uh This was somewhat a downfall for hunting as people started
- 01:43 - 01:50
to develop farms and different areas where they house chickens and
- 01:50 - 01:54
and cows and different animals like goats and things such as that
- 01:54 - 01:57
making things like dairy and
- 01:58 - 02:01
causing for no need to hunt anymore.
- 02:01 - 02:04
After that hunting became somewhat a privilege.
- 02:04 - 02:08
Um So it was a scenario where it was almost only for
- 02:08 - 02:12
the elites you would have to be very close with with royal or
- 02:12 - 02:17
something like that to be deemed worthy of the meat of an
- 02:17 - 02:21
elk or or a deer as it was really highly looked upon.
- 02:21 - 02:24
Um And lastly was the revolution of hunting in which
- 02:24 - 02:28
they started to implement permits and a licensing system.
- 02:28 - 02:29
Um
- 02:29 - 02:33
This is a blessing in disguise as as people started to over hunt.
- 02:33 - 02:35
Um and this really helped the
- 02:35 - 02:40
populations of different animals kinda repopulate and
- 02:40 - 02:45
it's also good because the money that goes towards tagging and permits and
- 02:45 - 02:48
included a list of licensing and permits as
- 02:48 - 02:51
I found when I first started getting into hunting
- 02:51 - 02:52
um as a beginner,
- 02:52 - 02:55
it's really tough to understand all the different
- 02:55 - 02:57
permits and licensing that they have in place.
- 02:57 - 02:59
So I'm gonna be explaining some of that.
- 02:59 - 03:04
Um So as we go into gun licenses here, there's two different types of gun licenses,
- 03:04 - 03:07
uh non restricted long guns which is a short P.
- 03:07 - 03:07
A. L.
- 03:07 - 03:11
Course um in which you learn how to handle a gun use a
- 03:11 - 03:15
gun loaded gun and clean a gun and things such as that.
- 03:15 - 03:17
Um, and for more advanced people,
- 03:17 - 03:21
um you can apply to get a restricted firearms license.
- 03:21 - 03:22
This is very,
- 03:22 - 03:24
very hard to obtain um as it gives you
- 03:24 - 03:30
access to different um semiautomatic rifles and and dangerous guns
- 03:30 - 03:34
below that, I opposed those are almost unregulated as
- 03:35 - 03:37
anybody who has an outdoors card which I
- 03:37 - 03:40
have labeled below the hunting licensing part.
- 03:40 - 03:43
Um They can shoot any animal or any type of small
- 03:43 - 03:46
game as long as they have that license with a bow,
- 03:46 - 03:48
there's no bow license.
- 03:48 - 03:51
Um Moving down here, there's a duck stamp.
- 03:52 - 03:55
People like to obtain the duck stamp so that they
- 03:55 - 03:58
can shoot different types of ducks such as puddle ducks and
- 03:58 - 03:59
and swamp ducks.
- 03:59 - 04:03
Um And lastly there's a there's a tagging system
- 04:03 - 04:06
where there's numerous tags that you can obtain um in
- 04:06 - 04:08
which you would be able to shoot some some
- 04:08 - 04:11
larger game such as bears and and female deer,
- 04:11 - 04:14
which is a doe is a very, very popular tag.
- 04:15 - 04:18
Um On the far right here I have ammunition. Um
- 04:19 - 04:22
This should go as uh go as, this should go unexplained,
- 04:22 - 04:26
but no explosive ammunition is really allowed.
- 04:26 - 04:31
And that's the only restriction. Um Really under ammunition.
- 04:33 - 04:37
When I first started getting into and researching hunting,
- 04:37 - 04:40
I found it really tough to understand the different types of guns
- 04:40 - 04:44
and rifles and shotguns and handguns and things such as that.
- 04:44 - 04:47
So I've included a table here and I think it'll give a bit
- 04:47 - 04:51
of a depiction so that you guys can understand what I'm talking about.
- 04:51 - 04:56
So when I refer to restricted firearms, these are military grade guns,
- 04:56 - 05:01
automatic semi automatic rifles and shotguns that
- 05:01 - 05:03
they can shoot
- 05:03 - 05:06
automatic means that it can shoot a full barrel
- 05:06 - 05:10
bullet or a full clip of bullets without reloading.
- 05:10 - 05:14
And that would be something like a machine gun. Um, or an assault rifle.
- 05:14 - 05:21
Moving to non restricted firearms. I have included a 22 lever action um,
- 05:22 - 05:25
Rifle and a 12 gauge 12 gauge pump shotgun.
- 05:25 - 05:26
Um,
- 05:27 - 05:33
just the way that you load the bullet into the chamber and these are low power guns,
- 05:33 - 05:37
but they do the job when you're, when you're looking to shoot some smaller um,
- 05:38 - 05:39
game
- 05:40 - 05:43
the two guns on the right here I would be able to
- 05:43 - 05:47
handle on my own as I have a non restricted firearms license
- 05:48 - 05:49
and I just thought I would mention that.
- 05:50 - 05:52
So next here,
- 05:52 - 05:55
I've included some really important techniques that people
- 05:55 - 05:58
have adapted to start using over the years.
- 05:58 - 06:02
The hunting game has definitely gotten a lot more technical
- 06:02 - 06:04
and people are buying a lot more things to,
- 06:04 - 06:06
to lure animals in.
- 06:06 - 06:10
But these are the main ones that people like to use. So
- 06:10 - 06:11
um,
- 06:11 - 06:16
first off we have baiting baiting would be things such as salt in a tree and the
- 06:16 - 06:21
deer would come up and lick the salt and then come back numerous amounts of time.
- 06:21 - 06:24
Um, I think odor goes self explanatory.
- 06:24 - 06:25
Um,
- 06:25 - 06:28
some animals have pretty sharp noses and they'll follow
- 06:28 - 06:30
the odor as far as they have to.
- 06:30 - 06:33
Um, calls also self explanatory.
- 06:33 - 06:35
There's lots of different um,
- 06:35 - 06:37
instruments you can use that make duck calls and
- 06:37 - 06:40
turkey calls and things such as that uh,
- 06:40 - 06:45
stands are just tree stand and people sit up there and they get
- 06:45 - 06:48
that way they get a bird's eye view on what's going on.
- 06:48 - 06:51
Blinds are on the ground, but they,
- 06:51 - 06:56
it's like a tent that camouflages you away from any any animals.
- 06:56 - 07:01
People like to use traps to catch their kills a lot easier.
- 07:01 - 07:06
Um, and decoys are used when you're hunting very smart animals.
- 07:06 - 07:06
Um,
- 07:06 - 07:08
and those animals will come in and check out
- 07:08 - 07:11
the decoy and that's when you make your shop
- 07:11 - 07:14
lastly. But most important, I've included dogs.
- 07:15 - 07:18
People use numerous, um,
- 07:19 - 07:23
different types of dogs to have a successful hunt.
- 07:23 - 07:28
These dogs have really keen sense of smell and sense of hearing and so it's really,
- 07:28 - 07:32
really good to train a dog that can go and fetch
- 07:32 - 07:35
animals for you or help you target a certain animal.
- 07:35 - 07:38
I have pictured in the background here a
- 07:39 - 07:43
a black lab who has went and retrieved a puddle duck for its owner.
- 07:46 - 07:49
So transitioning into my next point here,
- 07:49 - 07:52
I've included a full slide deck about apparel.
- 07:52 - 07:55
Peril is really important when people go hunting.
- 07:55 - 07:58
I think it's definitely underappreciated.
- 07:58 - 07:59
Um,
- 07:59 - 08:04
if you have the right set of clothing and the right setup can make a hunt a lot easier.
- 08:05 - 08:08
So first off here I have at the top,
- 08:08 - 08:12
most people believe that a solid set of camo will do the trick.
- 08:12 - 08:15
It is much more than that. Soundproof, smell proof waterproof.
- 08:15 - 08:19
Those are the big three tricks to having a good hunt,
- 08:19 - 08:20
obviously waterproof to keep you warm.
- 08:20 - 08:24
But these animals are very smart. So the sound and smell proof,
- 08:24 - 08:25
it's definitely very important.
- 08:26 - 08:30
Different patterns is really important as, as you know,
- 08:30 - 08:33
we live in Canada and we get snow and we get,
- 08:33 - 08:37
we get trees that we get leaves on the ground and everything like that.
- 08:37 - 08:40
So it's important to have different patterns,
- 08:40 - 08:45
sweat absorbent clothing and also orange clothing for a certain
- 08:45 - 08:47
portion of the year where bucks are being hunted.
- 08:48 - 08:49
Um, and that's just for your safety.
- 08:51 - 08:56
Next, I've included a list of different types of fish. So um,
- 08:56 - 08:59
these are common fish that you could find, you know,
- 08:59 - 09:01
maybe at a lake where your cottages.
- 09:01 - 09:02
Um, if you have one.
- 09:03 - 09:08
So I've included winter, summer and river fishing, whitefish, pike, lake trout,
- 09:08 - 09:12
herring perch, wildlife, bass and catfish in the winter.
- 09:12 - 09:17
And a lot of those fish you can also catch in the summer. Um,
- 09:18 - 09:20
Rainbow trout and speckled trout are definitely the
- 09:20 - 09:23
hardest to fish to catch along with salmon.
- 09:24 - 09:27
Um, and those you can catch in the river.
- 09:27 - 09:32
Lastly, I've got fishing tactics tactics slash feeding.
- 09:32 - 09:37
So for our deep dwellers, we've got the trouts and the different types of,
- 09:37 - 09:41
we've got whitefish, we've got um perch
- 09:42 - 09:45
and those are those are tough fish to catch because they're so
- 09:45 - 09:50
deep down um as well as bigger fish like sturgeon and musky.
- 09:50 - 09:56
And that the easier fish to catch are the shallow feeders, they're way more active.
- 09:56 - 10:00
That'd be your bass, your perch, muskie if you catch them at the right time.
- 10:00 - 10:02
They're very, very aggressive
- 10:02 - 10:03
and same with pike.
- 10:04 - 10:06
Um And those are the big long fish um
- 10:07 - 10:09
that you'll likely see a lot of money and gold.
