Red Deer

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…

Jerry Saum, a crude and renegade type character, has lived in Saum, Minnesota for his whole life. Saum, MN lies 45 miles directly North of Bemidji, and two miles East of the Red Lake Indian Reservation. I have known Jerry Saum for five years, due to my deer hunting shack that sits four miles South of Saum. In my early years deer hunting up North, Jerry would frequently come down to the cabin, always wearing a Busch Light sweatshirt or the local Saum Fire Department crewneck. Also, Jerry’s…

blurs of reds, browns, and blacks of each wolf's fur and I follow. I speed up; I am Alpha and I should be leading the pack. My white paws crush the snow with each rapid step. I am in front and now we are in the woods. I slow down and the pack follows. I hear something, and my solid white fur stands on end. I take a whiff, and I smell a family of deer and another doe further in the woods. I crouch, a motion the rest of the wolves copy. Our ears flick around, and I sound off a single bark. The…

8-9) and later the woman’s use of perfective verbs (vv. 10-13) not only bring the readers/hearers attention to the sound and sight of the deer- like beloved, but also contributes to that overall qôl (voice) of the poem, the harmonious chorus, the intermingling dynamics at play in the poem, namely love, humans, and…

taken a buck every year at that spot. Soon after Ben talked to Coleman on the phone big fences and locked gates went up around the property. Signs were put up with bold red letters that spelled out WARNING KEEP OUT Absolutely No Trespassing for Any Reason. Violaters Will Be Prosecuted and Jailed. KEEP OUT. His new neighbor wasn’t going to be very neighborly Ben thought. He must have had a lot of work done because trucks were going in and out all the time, some even late at night. It was a…

site that will be discussed within this report is the Lockport Site with the Borden Designation of EaLf-1. Located in Central Manitoba on the eastern bank of the Red River and near the St. Andrews rapids, it is approximately 17 kilometers north of the perimeter Winnipeg. This indicates that this site is within the natural region of the Red River Basin. While this excavation was performed in early summer, the frost free period for the Lockport site is only 100 to 110 days out of the year. As…

Frenchman, had gone miles away from camp, trailing a deer. Nokomis said that it was a lean year because the previous winter had been very cold. Tokola and the Frenchman knew if they could catch up to the deer, and then kill it, that it would feed the entire tribe for several days. “After trailing the deer for over a day, they had gotten far away and low into the swamplands. By then, the cold winds of winter had begun to blow. Thinking the deer might be joining others of its kind, to winter in…

preparing for the fall hunt. He had planted many food sources for the deer and also put up a tree stand for every wind direction. The season opener was only one more week away and he could not wait. He was like a child waiting to open presents on Christmas morning. He had sighted in his bow, so he was comfortable shooting out to forty yards; he had practiced shooting every night. Jim did this, so if he did get a chance at a big deer, he would not blow it. Every hunter has had one that has gotten…

a tree stand waiting for the perfect deer to hunt is absolutely incredible, however hunters are not always lucky enough to find their prey. My dad and I began going around the ranch a day before we went hunting, we looked around to see where the biggest deer’s were located. We tested and align the rifles, to leave everything prepared to go hunting the following day at dawn. We were very positive that we were going to be lucky enough to hunt a big trophy deer, tough the results we had were never…

in the brush, up close and personal with various animals. Many bow hunters have stories of times when owls or other birds have landed on a tree or a branch right next to where they were sitting, perfectly still. Others have stories of times when deer have actually come to within arm 's reach before suddenly turning and running. When you are hunting with a firearm you are often out of the timber and in a hunting stand far from the unsuspecting animal that walks into your line of fire. If a…
