I flicked the gun off safety heart thumping away, adrenaline already rushing as if I had killed a record buck for Mississippi. I was remembering in the back of my mind just what my dad had always taught me since I started hunting and shooting guns all together. The gun went off BOOM! The deer literally stood…
His pistol belt was full. The rifle belt had only seven cartridges in it. His right hand held a Colt .45. The gun sight, caught in his watch chain, prevented his hand from dropping into his lap. He had placed the gun against his head, above his right ear, and pulled the trigger.…
He buries the gun and concocts a tale of how Jenny stuck herself with the point of the plow. It doesn’t take long for Mr. Hawkins and company to figure out what Dave had done, especially after Mrs. Saunders asks what Dave did with the gun. The ridicule begins immediately. “ Well, boy, looks like yuh done bought a dead mule!…
They paused suddenly, and I almost collided with a tree. Crouching on my toes, I looked around and soon saw the object of their attention. A young buck with huge velvety antlers was grazing, and the men made gestures to each other, trying to keep silent as they knocked their arrows and took aim.…
He felt the adrenaline in his veins. Cha'tima realized his hunger and had to find food, so he climbed a tree and waited for it to come to him; as he had been taught by his father. After hours of waiting, a rabbit crossed his path. He took out his bow and drew back an arrow, took aim and shot. Cha'tima had a meal for the night.…
He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again. Lennie jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand, and he lay without quivering.” (Steinbeck 102) C:…
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.…
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.…
I went hunting last summer. It is fun to go hunting. I don't remember the exact day but I know it was really really cold I wore 2 pairs of socks, a shirt,under shirt,and a hoodie and I was still cold. We went hunting three days in a row.…
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.…
beep beep beep, the sound of my alarm went off at 5:00am on the first day of first season deer hunting! Caleb sat up and said turn that stupid thing off I wanna go back to bed, so I turned it off and looked at him and said get up we have to get ready. We got out of bed and started to get are hunting clothes on, I pulled up the weather on my phone and it was going to be a cold day. We finished putting our clothes on and got our guns ready and put them in the truck. And just like that we were off.…
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.…
Then BAM I shot my buck (reality.) When we were on our way to my deer, I get out my knife, then I had a flashback of me with my dad in the dark blue morning when I got my first deer “Wow this is a huge deer” my dad says, “Heck yeah it is”I say. “So if you can't wait for the deer to die out just go up to it and stab him/or her in the lungs.”…
The hand shook violently, but his face set and his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again. Lennie jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand and he lay without quivering.…
I know this because this is what I would assume today. Again, my childish hope panned out because less than five minutes later the same three deer were back. My dad, who was extremely shocked, told me to calm down and take a long breath, shooting during the exhale when I took the shot. The deer got within twenty yards again. I, being a little more patient this time, slowly aimed at the doe.…
