September 24th National Hunting and Fishing Day

Hunting originally was required to live. It turned into a sport somewhere along the line. The difference being, as a requirement it was done in order to have something to eat. After a while it became a sport because food became more readily available. The same basically goes for fishing. While I do not oppose hunting or fishing b y any means, I do ask that a hunter take no more than what they need. Conservation is what today is all about, and being a good steward of the Earth. If you like to hunt, or fish, take a camera to do your hunting with after getting your quota… it’s just as good a sport and it helps preserve those animals who populate the earth. Today always falls on the 4th Saturday of September, a 1971 Congressional Resolution # 117.

How to celebrate – Be a responsible hunter and fisher. Take only what you need. Replace your weapon with a camera. (You might want to take a weapon along in case you run into an animal that takes exception to what you are doing!)

November 25th World Safari Day

November 25th World Safari Day

The jungles are diminishing all over the world as we build new homes, shopping malls and use the products found there quicker than they can be reproduced. The African Bush Camps company has decided to do something about that by creating today for people to become aware of the preservation and rejuvenation required to keep nature from being destroyed. How about going on a safari using a camera to shoot animals instead of a rifle or bow!?! It is more daring and takes an equal amount of skill or perhaps, even more.

How to celebrate – Go on a camera safari. Give to organizations trying to save the wilderness. Tell me one good reason you need to kill an elephant.
