Personal Narrative Essay: Ice Hunting

Decent Essays
Now that hunting season is over, its almost time for ice fishing. I have been ice fishing for as long as I can remember. I love catching fish especially through the ice. I think its a really fun and different way to catch them. I participate in a few derbies each year. Last year I took 2nd and 3rd place at Kennebunk pond in the kids division. This year I hope to do a few more derbies because I really like seeing people and myself catch fish at a little bit of a competition. On colder days my dad and I usually go to trout ponds where we won’t catch as many so we can stay warmer in the ice shack. On warmer days we go to ponds where we catch more fish. I usually go out every weekend once the ice is safe. Typically, we get out on the ice

    If you are in search of walleyes, you stand a better chance of success if you fish along the shore in sandy areas, but this is not always the case. They do also enjoy being in the current and along the shore, especially during the spring. During the summer and the fall, they choose deeper waters. Small trout and other species of fish can also be caught along the shore, but they are not prize winning fish. Going out on lakes and rivers in a boat, has been a popular way to fish for many years.…

    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. We made a quick stop at my house so that we could pick up the .243 youth edition, a really short barreled .243, that my dad had bought just about a month before so that we could go hunting, and I would actually be able to handle the gun. At this point we did not have the hunting land that we do today, so we went to my grandpa’s house and hunted in the clearing of trees behind his house.…
