Deer Or No Deer
When I was younger I sat in a deer stand with my dad. I started at the age of nine and I loved it. Every day during deer camp I woke up early to walk out to the field with him. We would get up around 4 or 5 in the morning. I always lite a fire in the fireplace to get rid of the chill in the cool morning air. Then I would get dressed up for the cold weather to come and prepare for the great hunt we were about to receive.
I could not shoot a deer legally I was twelve. Once I could legally harvest a deer, I couldn't wait for the season to start.

Three or so hours into the chase and we were still tracking blood. We had crossed over the railroad tracks into someone elses property. We kept trekking on. After a while more of searching, I met up with the owner of his chunk of land. He told me, “one of my buddies not too far away just saw a nine point limp across his field and he shot it.”
So there went the biggest deer that I had ever see. Not only was it the biggest deer I have ever seen, it was the first deer I had ever shot. I searched for hours, filled with anxiety, only to find the deer was taken by somebody else. I sat at camp the rest of the day in despair. It was a great hunt, and a not so great hunt at the same time. Now I know for next time to shoot the deer twice, not once, maybe even three or four
