Personal Narrative: My First Year Hunting

Improved Essays
It was cold the snow was blowing it was just getting down to the last minutes of the season. It was my first year hunting and I had just missed my 3rd deer for the season about to call a quits for the year when my brother Tylor calls my dad and says there are a few doe below the barn we hop in the truck and drive down. We ran over along the fence row only 8 at the time and using a 280 remington it was a pretty big gun for me. I was resting off a fence post that was taller than I was I seen the eight deer out in the field line my crosshairs up on the biggest doe and ka-boom she started stumbling I shot one more time and she dropped. I was excited we went and got the four wheeler then went and got her. That's how patience helped me get my first deer. …show more content…
I got in the woods at 5:30 at the best spot we have because my dad wanted me to get one my first year. Finally around day break a heard of them came running through I took a shot missed. We waited for a while and no more deer. We took a break ate lunch and warmed back up from the cold.Then we moved to another spot seen no deer, onto the next spot sitting on a shooting bench watching over fields getting late. Finally a half rack comes out dad never told me it was a buck he thought I'd get nervous. So I took a shot at it and missed him. Then that's when my brother calls us about the doe. Waiting like that all season to finally get that doe is how patience helped

    “Killing the Big One” It was just any ordinary day in January and deer season was in full swing. We had been hunting hard all season and I was still yet to get my first ever deer. I was being patient though and not trying to rush things because even at the sight of deer my heart would start pounding out of my chest! My dad would always remind me “You just have to breath and stay calm then aim at the front shoulder and squeeze the trigger.”…

    ALTHOUGH RESEARCH CONFIRMS that the whitetail rut takes place at almost the exact same time every year, most hunters know that the rut’s intensity varies from day to day. As much as your head spins with the mental images of scrapes, full moons, rubs, monster bucks, and rut-crazed chase scenes, the best times to be in the woods will rarely coincide with calendar anniversaries. Through years of personal experience and research gathered from other hunters, Cory Wiedel is one of the most accomplished whitetail hunters. He has taken 11 Boone and Crockett– class bucks in the past six years, and he places a priority on going after his scouted target bucks only when he recognizes that the conditions are favorable. “There are certain weather-related…

    The Hunted I didn’t know who I was. I woke up next to a bunch of muddy kids. They all smelled like they haven't showered in weeks. There was two twins, a chubby kid, and probably the skinniest kid I’ve ever seen. Then I realized I smelled just like them.…

    When I went on my first deer hunt I was 10, I shot my first doe with my Savage 243. The doe was fifty yards when I looked down my scope and lined my crosshairs right on the front shoulder. 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.…

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.…

    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.…
