In hunting, the head-on angle refers to a position at which the hunter and the prey are face to face. This shot angle rarely results in a clean kill, ruins a lot of meat, and provides an animal the best opportunity to detect the hunter as the animal is in front of the hunter. At the head-on angle it is harder for the hunter to kill an animal with the first shot and ruins a lot of meat because the animal produces hormones such as adrenaline result of the stress.
Besides wildfires, human settlements affect neighboring ecosystems through biotic processes, including exotic species introduction, wildlife subsidization, disease transfer, landcover conversion, fragmentation, and habitat loss.
