Follow the Bone is the author's exploration of what it means to live truthfully and authentically in an increasingly digitized and artificial world, through the author's growth as a woman and hunter in her native Oregon. With raw honesty, Lauren takes the reader through the years she spent post-college learning how to live outside of the structure of academia. As she struggles to balance the demands of a corporate job, a long-term relationship, and the pressure of social media, she brings the reader back to the places and the pursuit that save her. The reader is invited into a world of forests, mountains, trees and wild animals, where the author navigates the reality of being a meat eater with nuance and care. With vivid imagery and a gentle attention to detail, it becomes clear how deeply connected the author is to the world around her through the land, the people she loves and the animals she admires. Her growth as a person and her dedication to living a life of meaning is captured and reflected through her rich prose while she meditates on the outdoor experiences that defined her early twenties. Her stories become an entry point into an existence that lives and breathes close to the land and illustrate how participating fully in a habitat can change our understanding of what it means to be human, while also allowing for the necessity of living in a city. This book provides a narrative that doesn't feature a helpless woman finding herself in the outdoors through various mishaps and mistakes. Rather, it reflects how we all create our conception of self from what we inherit, and how women claiming their identity through the natural world can be a powerful force.

Adatabase of approximately 9000 trophy measurements of ungulates hunted in South Africa between 1993 and 2001 was analysed in order to detect species-specific, regional variation in mean trophy quality. Blesbok (Damaliscus dorcas), eland (Taurotragus oryx), impala (Aepyceros melampus), kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), mountain reedbuck (Redunca fulvorufula) and springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) showed statistically significant variation in trophy quality. A number of other species including blue wildebeest (Connochaetus taurinus), black wildebeest (Connochaetus gnou), bushbuck (Tragelaphus angusticeps), common reedbuck (Redunca redunca), gemsbok (Oryx gazella), red hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus), nyala (Tragelaphus angasii) and waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) were insignificant. The manipulation of trophy quality on ranches is speculated to be the major cause of these significant regional variations. It is recommended that species-specific baselines of trophy quality and associated levels of ‘acceptable manipulation’be established and incorporated into a national trophy quality monitoring programme to provide some level of protection to an industry that contributes significantly to the South African economy.

Adatabase of approximately 9000 trophy measurements of ungulates hunted in South Africa between 1993 and 2001 was analysed in order to detect monotonic trends in trophy quality over time. In a species-specific analysis, declines were found for impala (Aepyceros melampus), springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) and mountain reedbuck (Redunca fulvorufula). In an area-specific analysis, a decline was found in the Northern Cape Province. Conversely, blesbok (Damaliscus dorcas phillipsi ) (species-specific) and the Free State Province (area-specific) showed increases in trophy quality. As an economic indicator, the monitoring of trophy quality allows agencies to potentially evaluate the quality and sustainability of their ‘huntable’ ungulate resources.

Research of possibility to sustain both hunting fauna and forrest in reservation.
