this moment I realized how beautiful nature is when the outside world is a distant memory, and all we need to do is take advantage of the little things life gives us and never stress the big ones too much. Early that morning I woke up to go deer hunting. It was as dark as a room with no lights or windows. There was no moon and the stars were very dull. I never realized what nature would show me as soon as I would climb in my treestand later that morning. As I walked outside I realized it was a…

The Archers Paradox What is it? Have you ever heard the term “Straight as an arrow”? Well, this isn’t exactly accurate. Arrows don’t exactly fly straight, they twist and bend as they fly. When you draw back and release your bowstring the large force of kinetic energy stored in the limbs gets transferred into the arrow and this force causes the spine of the arrow to start bending as it gets pushed forward. The archer’s paradox is this bending of the arrow around the bow as it is being loosed…

Florida panthers can be found in prairies, swamps, and forests. They need an abundance of water and food as well as places with lots of shading or cover: such as Dens and Palmetto thickets.

The everglades provides plenty of the wildlife that make up the panthers…

sunlight. Maybe I could look even deeper into nature and possibly see the itty bitty intermolecular forces that kept a spiderweb intact. Brought back into reality, I spot brown fur laying on the ground. I run over and sure enough, it's my trophy buck. Hunting, while great for bragging rights and showing off skills, allows me to dive deeper into nature and understand the meaning of…

The Time I Went Hunting With My Dad One November morning way before I wake up, I woke up to my alarm. I walked to my door like a sloth. My Dad was already dressed and was waiting for me. I put on my pants and my boots.I put on my coat and hat. “Let’s head out to the blind” I said. We stepped out onto the crunchy white snow. Stepping on each icy step at a time. We walked over to the blind “It’s cold.” I said. My Dad opened the door to the blind. I walked in and turned on the little heater. It…

It's almost enough to make you want to skip the next hunting trip in order to avoid all the work. Notice we said almost, as avid hunters we simply couldn't pass up the chance to join in.…

Bighorn Mountains It's a friday after school and i'm walking home and I see my dad packing. So when I get home I see he's packing our snowmobile equipment and I say “dad why are you packing that, it's nearly the end of february and there's like no snow on the ground.” He said that we're going on a trip that I didn't know about and I didn't want to go but he said that everything will be fun. We left that night to our friends house cause they were going with us. Everyone knew about it but me. So…

In the fall of 2015, my dad Jason, my friend, Cody, and his dad Brad, and I, were deer hunting. Cody had a tag for a buck, and I had a tag for a doe. We had seen a buck and Cody was able to shoot at it, but he had missed. We had been out hunting a few times before, but we hadn't gotten anything yet. One day we were out all day and were just coming home. We came home a bit earlier that day so it was still light outside. As we were driving home, Brad said,” Look there’s a badger!¨ He has super…
