I went alone with him any ways and took my hunter safety course. I learned that I really like to shoot gun in that class. When we got down with the class and i passed with flying colors, we headed back for home. As we were heading home I asked he where we were going because it was not toward my house because I was happy to get home and show my dad that I passed the class.

    My First Deer One brisk 30 degree day in January, when I was nine years old, was a day for which I was extremely excited. My dad got me out of school earlier that day, so we could go deer hunting. I had already shot a turkey the year before, so guns were nothing new to me.
