My brother Jonathan had his friend colten over and he brought over his .22 and he also had his arrow gun. This arrow gun was awesome so I asked Colten if I could use it and of course he said no. Jonathan, Colten and I went along with our day, we went into the woods and looked for animals. The woods were great we heard the chirping of the birds and the breaking of the sticks under our feet. We saw squirrels, birds etc. we were looking for dear but these somewhat scarce in our area the deer are there they just don't show themselves. Jhonathan and Colten went on ahead i'm pretty sure they just didn't want me to follow them because they told me not to come, so I went my own way and followed the stream up about a half a mile then I felt something slithering around my feet I looked down and studied the ground it took me a bit but then I saw it, the thing I hate most, the thing that scares me the most, a snake! …show more content…

When I pulled the trigger she ran twenty yards, I made a perfect shot on her. We went to pick her up to load her on the four wheeler. She was heavy, but finally got her on the ATV and drove her to the barn.…

    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.…

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.

    Sadly, we couldn’t get a shot because it was still way too dark but it definitely got my adrenaline going. That was the exact moment I knew I was going to love hunting. When we finally got to the stand, I crawled up the ladder and sat down on the seat that my dad had provided for me, anxiously waiting for my time to prove that I really could be a hunter. I set my .270 in the corner and sat there patiently waiting for the sun to rise. Watching the sun rise over the horizon was breathtaking.…

    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.…
