Being a hunter is not an easy job. Most of the time, people just think that hunters are a job from the past. However, they are not aware that hunting is still a legitimate job today. I, for one, am an up and coming hunter. I spent my childhood being trained by my dad, well, this is because I grew up in a family of hunters. Today, I plan to debut in the hunting scene, so wish me luck you guys.

I had no idea that sheep needed to be vaccinated. It's interesting to think that they need boosters each year. I remember getting a booster shot when I was younger, but I haven't had one in years. Is that only for young people and animals?
