huntinsonovagun Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I swear....I HATE school!!! Anyway, here's the deal. Have a 10-?? page paper due at the end of the semester (7 weeks away) over a topic that I have to research. I have to look through EVERY piece of literature our 4.5 million dollar library owns on my topic, so it needs to be fairly specific. I am thinking about majoring in wildlife biology, etc, and I LOVE hunting, so I'm thinking something along those lines???? Any suggestions?! Just have to prove something with my reasearch.......

Hoosierbuck Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Want to help me with Research paper topic?! Hypothesis:Feral cats significantly impact ground nesting game bird populations. (and should be shot on sight...) Might not be too much out there on this, though. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Want to help me with Research paper topic?! I would look into something QDM related, along the lines of what tominator suggested. Also, I'm not sure what class this is or what your teacher wants but you might have to consider where you are going to get your sources from. It might be pretty hard to do a hunting related paper if you need to use scholarly sources, referred journals etc.. I know there is next to nothing on hunting related topics in the library at my college. Just something to keep in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bowhunter2114 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Want to help me with Research paper topic?! do it on the Whitetail I had to do the same exact thing 10+ page report and I got 100%. Whitetails are simple you can keep writing and writing and you still won't run out of info. You can go on to say how it has evolved from simply a stick thrown at a animal to Scents High-speed bows and the other various products we use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The profitability of the whitetail. Think of the economic impact one little species has had on federal, state, and local economies. My first research paper in college was on the economic impact walleye had on the state of Ohio. Got an "A" of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MossySNPR Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Want to help me with Research paper topic?! Hey, I did a BIg research paper 2 years ago on how "Hunting and fishing is Conservation." I had to present it in front of 54 people. The whole presentation was an hour and a half long by myself. My entire point was getting people to argue with me in the audience, anything they could, "how can killing an animal save the species? Why should humans step in and control animals when this occured thousands of years ago and our earth still stands?" I responded to everyone of their questions quickly and with force about how we as humans have expanded so much we now take alot of land away from not only game animals but others too. Also things like fertilizer and non-native plants we spawn by accident causing over abundance in habitat and food sources. I argued my heart out and when I say my heart, I mean it because we all know this is our passion, imagine presenting it for your teacher, the thing you love the most. If that won't get you an excellent mark, I don't know what will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archerjg Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Want to help me with Research paper topic?! What about where hunting is less prevalent there are more deer and car crashes, and where there is more hunting allowed there are less deer and car crashes.
