It was a nice, sunny but cool morning at Marion Reservoir. I got out of the tent and made a fire so my dad could cook breakfast when he woke up. The birds and squirrels were chirping, my dad came out of the tent and went over by the fire and asked me what I wanted for breakfast I said “bacon.” So he went to the cooler to get the bacon.…
That’s a long wait from four thirty to six o’clock am. It was worth the wait and excitement of hunting with my two older brothers. They picked on me and teased me, but they are my brothers and that’s what they do. My brothers told me that I would see many things that I couldn’t in the woods I never really believed them till that night.…

The Adrenaline that a hunter feels being in the top of a tree stand waiting for the perfect deer to hunt is absolutely incredible, however hunters are not always lucky enough to find their prey. My dad and I began going around the ranch a day before we went hunting, we looked around to see where the biggest deer’s were located. We tested and align the rifles, to leave everything prepared to go hunting the following day at dawn. We were very positive that we were going to be lucky enough to hunt a big trophy deer, tough the results we had were never crossed our minds.…
Teaxes It took forever to get in the car to go to Texas. Once we got in the car it was so crowded with six of us in there on top of that we had covers and pillows to. When we got close to Abelin the trees got shorter and shorter. It was so cool to watch the height of the trees go down because we crossed a beautiful river when I could see the trees go down.…
When the time came and I was old enough my uncle took me shooting. This is what started my interest in the outdoors. After we were done shooting he told me one of the biggest surprises of my life. My uncle told me that he was going to take me hunting. When he told me this I was the most excited kid in Arkansas.…
The first time I ever shot a deer came as a tremendous surprise to me. It happened about four years ago. I had hunted for a while before that, but that was the first year that I actually took it seriously and I got my gun safety license so I could shoot. It was the second weekend in rifle season, so it was empty in the woods and quiet.…
“You can’t shoot a deer from your living room,” every time my dad, Paul Walker, says to me when i want to go hunting, my dad works for the Michigan Corrections Unit, from everything his father taught him, he is passing it on to melike hunting, protecting myself, respect, responsibility, honesty, and hard work, too. I’m always working hard and respecting others, My dad has 2 quotes for working hard and respecting others. “Hard work pays off” and, “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. I work a lot and sometimes I just don’t want to do anything, but he encourages me to work so I can get work done, If someone is ever sad, mad, or depressed, I try to be respectful to them, because we have all had those moments. Therefore, I still express all the respect and encouragement I can get from my dad.…
Deer hunting is a great sport I love the excitement and the rush that you get from an animal. I am always looking to improve on techniques for being quiet when the deer are approaching my stand I like to stand when a deer is coming than sitting down because it gives me more room and I can pull my bow a lot easier than sitting down. But some hunters like to sit down so they don’t scare the deer away, but I think it’s more of a challenge to do. As a deer hunter there is a right time and a wrong time for standing up when you are in an treestand like for one reason it’s a risky maneuver when you are trying not to spook a deer when standing up.…
Deer hunting with my dad always brings joy to my life. He has taught me everything I know about shooting a gun, and being able to patiently wait for the animal. My dad is a great teacher and super supportive if I miss a shot. Instead of getting enraged, he encourages me try again. Deer hunting is one of the many events my dad and I can do to bond, and strengthen our father and daughter relationship.…

I left our cabin and headed out into the east towards elk country. Elk were pretty common but we had made a decision not to ever hunt within a few miles of our…
The first time I went hunting was with my uncle danny out at my uncle don's farm when i was about six or seven. I remember it like it was yesterday we were in a pop up blind in the top of a creek bed spraying apple spray to have them come. We then waited about four to five hours, and a hundred twenty five pound doe came into the creek bed. My uncle stood up aimed and shot it. Then we dragged it out with a deer cart,and field dressed it in the corn field.…
