Deer

Whop! The deer ran off bleeding making a trail of red blood. I was so excited and I was so relieved because I just shot something I been wanting to shoot for ever and it finally happened with a bunch a happiness. “I’m so stoked!” Dad exclaimed.

November. I had woken up extra early just to make sure I could make it out to my stand before the sun would peek above the horizon. I’m not much of a morning person, so waking up can be a difficult challenge for me. Since it was just my first year of deer hunting, my dad had agreed to sit out in the stand with me just incase any trouble came about. I quickly brushed my teeth, got dressed in blaze orange from head to toe, grabbed some snacks, and began the journey out to the stand where I would…

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. It was a cold, crisp Saturday morning. The moon was full so on our walk out we didn't need a flashlight or anything because it was bright enough to see. We…

dark. Taj is standing near his fallen prey, a male whitetail deer. He watches it for a while so that he can be sure that the deer is deceased. Because he sees that it is, he does not cut its throat. He looks for a slope so that he can position the deer in such a way that the intestines spill out easily. Not seeing any slopes nearby that he can drag the deer to, he decides to stick with the spot the deer lies. Taj walks over to the deer. He then kneels down, removes his pack, and searches…

Introduction: Mule Deer once thrived in Western Nebraska, but now their population has gone down due to hunting, predators, and disease. Many people take for granted the wildlife that we have. Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) once roamed the western United States in the millions (Holechek et al 1982). When the first white man came in the early 1800’s, the number drastically declined. The reason for this is partially due to the Tragedy of the Commons. The tragedy of the commons in early 1800’s…

a sweatshirt and I was ready to go deer hunting. Me and my dad ate breakfast and packed up all of our bags. This was the first time going deer hunting this year and I was very excited. We were going to go hunting behind my grandma’s house. We were planning to sit out in the woods for a long time, but that did not go as planned… Crunch, Snap, Crunch! ‘’I hope I at least see a deer today’’ I thought to myself. Then I thought that even if I don’t get a deer I would still have a great time…
