Every year my dad and I go deer hunting at my grandma’s house. One year my cousin and his dad came with us. Going hunting I learned many valuable lessons. I learned about gun safety and how hunters should always know where their group is. I learned to be as quiet and as motionless as possible when waiting, but most importantly I learned patience when I went hunting.
The first day we started at 5:30 am. The sun wasn’t out yet and it had just started to snow. My first step out of the house I felt the cold hit my face. I could smell the mud on my boots from previous trips. By early morning the ground was covered with a white blanket of snow.

I knew if I had stayed at the house I wouldn’t have had so much fun. I will always remember my cousin’s incredible last second shot that made the whole weekend worth
