I learned about gun safety and how hunters should always know where their group is. I learned to be as quiet and as motionless as possible when waiting, but most importantly I learned patience when I went hunting. The first day we started at 5:30 am. The sun wasn’t out yet and it had just started to snow. My first step out of the house I felt…
