The hair stands on the back of her neck and she wheels around.*…

This is a reflective piece from Cade Hall about a hunt he went on. Hall was in his truck listening to music and these were the lyrics, “You should’ve seen it in color. “ Mr. Hall had gotten out of his truck and then the cool fall breeze hit him in the face. Hall said that there were so many memories that came to his mind when walking on this old path. Coming here always brought a warm feeling that he could only feel here. Hall arrived at his destination trying to get prepared for that afternoon.…

sassafras tree is the only tree mentioned that seems to not be present in Europe; Brereton describes this tree as “a tree of high price and profit.” This tree was likely the most profitable of all the above mentioned trees as it could be used for medicinal purposes, such as curing scurvy, and would likely have been useful in Europe and the New World.

owned a wood burning stove to heat their house. My great-grandpa, my mother, my brother, and I had always been the ones to retrieve and split the wood for their stove. Since my great-grandpa and mother have gotten older, the responsibility of this laborious task has been handed down to my brother, Griffin, and myself.

How could I resist such a lush garden full of memories? The deep, hallways that lead to the mysterious doorways called out to me. The pathways were carved with hours of my childhood. I plunged into the woods that once held playful…

It all starts out dark…so dark that I couldn’t tell if my eyes are open or even closed. Before the sun comes up, it is so peaceful and quiet that I would be able to hear a pin drop from afar. This is just the start of a long sit in the woods to try and harvest a deer. Sitting in a tree stand for hours at a time with nothing but myself and the nature around me just waiting for a single moment to shoot my shot at a deer. As time goes by I begin to wonder if today is going to be my lucky day or not…
