    Before I knew what was happening, I was on the cold, hard floor. Confusion and embarrassment lingered within me, waiting to surface. To me, a five year-old girl, there were only two options at hand: stay on the floor and cry about the pain, or get up and deal with the situation. Ten minutes prior to this incident, I was content as I stood up in the spacious shopping cart, strolling along Cabela’s, the hunting and fishing gear superstore. Although hunting and fishing did not truly interest me, the taxidermied animal exhibits were fascinating, and contributed to why I enjoyed being at the store.…

    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.…
