The Deer Hunter

The brutal terrain gradually slopes as a hunter walks out and onto the next ridge. Wind howls as it blows across the mountainside, for nothing blocks it. Monster mule deer graze on the horizon as bighorn sheep bed down on some rocks, prepared for any situation that may arise. The Rockies are not just home to mighty animals but a wide variety of people as well: The Roadhunter, The Nature Hunter, and The Hardcore Hunter. The most recognized Rocky Mountain Hunter is The Roadhunter; a local who…

Thanksgiving, you try to stop to avoid hitting the deer, but you end up hitting it and spinning out into the ditch causing you a lot of money in damage that has happened to your vehicle. That happens to many people in a year; there were 1.23 million car accidents involving deer and vehicles between July 2, 2011 and June 30, 2012. Many people think deer hunting should be illegal, but they don’t think about all the car wrecks that happen due to the deer, how much crops they eat from farm land,…

Trophy Deer Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep. This is the sound our alarm clock made at 4:30 on the morning of November 24, 2015. It was opening day of Illinois shotgun season (deer season) and my dad and I could not be more excited about our hunt! I checked the weather on my phone to determine the amount of clothing I should wear. The weather app said it was in the low 20s, so we needed to wear many layers. I went out to start the truck to warm it up and about 5 minutes later, we were headed out! The…

In the story The Third Wish a man named Mr. Peters hears a distressed cry in the forest while driving home. He gets out of his car and finds a swan entangled in thorns on the bank of the canal. He rescues the swan and magically it transforms from a white bird into a little man all in green. The man introduces himself as the King of the Forest. Mr. Peters demands three wishes as a reward. The King reluctantly agrees, adding a word of warning that humans often end up worse after making their…

The Journey of Packers Training Camp As I pull in the parking lot of Ray Nitschke Field, I am thinking of where I am going to set my stuff up and stay there. I am also thinking of the main guys that I want to get. It isn't a easy process, especially sitting in 85-90 degree weather for two and a half hours, outside not doing anything besides waiting for the buzzer to blow, allowing the packers to come out off the practice field. It is a great day to watch a Packer practice, and I get my stuff…

Compare and contrast Have you ever heard of a group called Micmacs. If you have then you have had an insane life. I am going to describe the Micmacs and the Inuit. I desire to tell you their differences and similarities. The differences of Micmacs from Inuit. The Micmacs believe in the lazy rabbit; it is a myth. They hunt squirrels and moose for their edible goodies and for other supplies. Their primary language is Eastern Algonquian. One of their housing is Wigman. They mainly use that by…

So since I can’t go into the forest near my grandparents anymore, I decided to go to the state park in Savanna with my cousin and her baby boy, Jaxson around 3:00 p.m. The state park wasn’t closed yet, the weather now has changed into a deeper cold then in September but we are still getting hot days or cold days, but mostly cold. I know that the state park does have snakes so I had to look out for them while walking with my cousin. While walking uphill towards the first lookout I noticed a…

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…

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…

When I was younger, my parents often took my brother, Caleb, and me on many trips. We went on a variety of vacations, but one of my favorite places to go was Colorado. I loved cold climates, cloudy places, and in Colorado I can find these and more. My favorite types of climates are freezing temperatures, cloudy, and rainy. In 2007 my dad had bought two four-wheelers, and the people knew my dad well and when we bought them, they told us they were going to Ouray, Colorado and asked if we wanted to…
