Deer Hunting Narrative
Have you ever been deer hunting? Have you ever had the courage to shoot an animal?

At first we pulled up at the field. We unloaded the truck and started to walk to the deer stand. When we got there, we loaded the gun and sat. We heard something we looked back. It was some ducks in the creek behind the stand. We also heard water tuning, leaves rustle. We also heard something walking. It was a squirrel. Later we heard something walking we thought it was a squirrel, but it was not? It was a deer. The gun I had was a 243 single shot black all over. So I slowly pulled my gun up, put the cross hairs on the deer chest and squeezed the trigger. BOOM!

I had shot my first deer. I climbed down the stand and ran to the

    deer was shot in the same place quartering away as if it was standing broadside, the vitals would be missed. This is only one example of why someone must have sufficient practice shooting their bow. Moving on to the next step in prepping; Scouting. Scouting is essential to having a successful season. In this case, success is defined as harvesting mature deer, both bucks and doe. So how does one scout? Scouting is done by walking around the property which the hunter will hunt, looking for…

    When he got a little closer, he saw a very large animal who was covering an abnormally large amount of ground in a short amount of time. He describes the animal as to cover about fifteen to twenty feet in just two strides, while not running. The creature made absolutely no noticeable noise. He mentions what he saw was the creature standing seven to seven and a half feet tall and an estimated five hundred pounds in weight. He describes the creature as being muscular and covered with dark fur, with long arms and hunched over posture. The deer hunter states that the creature moved quickly down the hillside and was gone in just a few seconds. Like both of the above incidents, it happened in a wooded area which provides plenty of coverage for the…

    I felt the stock of my bow while I was sitting in the blind. Frost had already began to form where I rubbed it off seconds ago. I looked through the small window at the everlasting snow. “Wait, was that a deer moving along those trees?” I asked myself. It looked more like a kangaroo making its way through the snow. I could barely stand up in the cold. I pulled back, ready to take the shot.…

    On day nine of eleven and about 75 miles hiked we decided to stop at a small hunting lodge for their tour. Upon arrival we were instructed by the historical figure/tour guide that the out house or as they were named at philomont red roof inn was full to the top. She informed us to use the one down the trail on the left across the brook and through the camp. She forgot to mention that they were having a small bear problem recently. So off I went into the woods alone toilet paper in hand happy to finally have a chance to sit on a ceramic seat and not have to squat in the woods to do my business. Making a game of it I was hopping rock to rock across the brook. Not two steps after the last rock I heard a splash and some rustling to my left. To my surprise I saw the cinnamon coat of a black bear not 30 yards away from me. Not seeing many bears in my lifetime every bit of information I had ever learned about bears raced through my mind in an instant. From my knowledge I deduced that it was a bear cub and there would be a mama bear behind it that would be mad at me for being so close to its cub. so…

    Hunters are the world's number one conservationists. We harvest our animals humanely and as fast as we can. Yes we make mistakes all the time, both gun and bow hunters equally make bad shots. If we wound an animal it is our job to track it until we find it. As a hunter you owe it to that animal to search high and low until you find it.…

    Jamie swallowed as he slowly pulled the trigger. Everything seemed to go into slow motion. Jamie's heart was pounding so fast, it seemed like it might explode if it went any faster. The butt of the gun kicked him in the crook of his shoulder, but Jamie didn't notice. He didn't see the bullet until the buck gave a little jump, staggering only a little bit. Jamie sat as still as a stone, not even daring to breathe. The buck collapsed, like Jamie knew it would. It was a clean shot and Jamie knew it. The buck didn't suffer much, and Jamie was glad for that, but, he couldn't even keep his thoughts straight. He really shot his first deer! The doe sprinted off towards the woods, and Jamie finally breathed again. His hands were clammy and shaking…

    The house is decorated with streamers on the walls and paper skeletons taped to the bathroom doors, there is a cake on the counter, everyone is getting ready to head out for a couple hours [or a hour, depending if I am still willing to keep going or not], the sun is almost set, and everybody is dressed up and ready to start the hunt tonight. If you couldn’t already tell, there are 2 special occasions today[but for most people it is only one special occasion], the day that kids walk upon the streets while dressed up in either monster costumes or as their favorite cartoon/movie/TV character and go door to door, asking for candy at the houses with the lights on. The other occasion, however, is one that can happen any day of the year, one that is celebrated for one or more people at a single time[but only usually only one at a time] and everyone gives the person who is celebrated on this day presents and afterwards[or before] everyone eats cake and ice cream[They don’t always eat ice cream though, and I think pie is better than cake for this occasion]. I like to call this time of year cavity season.…

    It was a cool autumn evening, late September and it was about 5:00 in the afternoon. When we pulled up, we could see the trail that we made in the leaves from the heavy pickup truck that recently crushed the sent out of them. I hopped out of the truck and smelt the fresh air the trees around me produced and thought I had it good. Next, after we grabbed all of our stuff we walked in the sweet swaying trees and eventually got to our hunting spot. Then, we sat down and waited for a sign of a deer walking through the forest. Then, all of a sudden, we heard a noise and turned around and there was a deer right there about 10 yards away so I took aim and CRACK! I shot and hit my target. Last, I started praying for the deer I just dispatched and thanked…

    Mike introduced me to hunting and the great outdoors when we first got married. I can remember being pregnant with our first son and going across a field when a pheasant flew right up in front of me. It scared me so I screamed and fell to the ground. I was so embarrassed knowing there were other hunters around looking to find out who was screaming. I waited on the ground for Mike to give me the ok to get back up. At the time I was mortified but now it is a great memory.…

    Most Texas natives know that deer hunting is a tradition. However, some of us haven’t been on the other side of the scale, the hunted. Though hunting can be fun, I’ve learned to definitely be prepared for whatever happens. Last year I had my first experience and it was a crazy one. In two short days, I went from being the hunter to being hunted. For most Texans, hunting is fun, however proper preparation is key because one should avoid mistakenly taking an unloaded gun, be attentive to the surroundings, and should not set expectations.…

    Walking down the trail with my bow in hands I couldn't wait to see some deer. An hour goes by and by then the sun was shining with an almost perfect wind blowing my scent away from the field to behind me. The first deer i saw was a small fawn and decided to give it a pass. Another hour goes by and I hear movement to my right and look to see a set of antlers slowly approaching. By now my heart is beating like a drum I have to make the decision as I see him turning away. The choice is easy I draw back and as I do so the deer hears the arrow sliding across the arrow reas and suddenly becomes alert and quickly walks off out of range. My heart drops and all i'm thinking is how I could've changed that day. After all that work i have nothing to show for, at least not yet. On that day i learned that it's ok to take a chance and you can't always control what's going to happen…

    The Great Outdoors

    Not only is hunting an exhilarating experience but so is the feeling of being surrounded by wilderness. During winter times since I was 12 years old, my father would take me out on long drives in the middle of winter to hunting sites just outside of Edmonton. What made the drive not seem so long was the scenic route we would always take. Every once in a while I would see little white rabbits hopping around and leaving miniature footprints all in the snow next to the road. Further down the road we would pass a fairly big hill that had two pine trees at the top of it. I always wondered how long they had been there considering the fact that they were over thirty feet high. Finally we would get to the hunting ground and make are way down to a little patch of brush where we would crouch and wait for the deer to pass by. The feeling of the cold snow crunching under my boots, the frost covered branches of the bush we were nestled under, and all the little footprints that surrounded us gave me a feeling of unity with nature. After hiding in our spots for a long while, usually until my feet and toes were completely frozen it seemed, my father would whisper “Here comes one right now”. A few moments later I’d hear a loud bang and we’d be back on the road with our trophy and bragging rights. We have carried on this tradition every…

    I killed my first deer with Pop. It was a spike and I was four with a .243 remington. The gun was too big and too heavy, but we were in his red, 1985 chevette. It was on his side and he put the gun out the window and let me lean across. He held the gun and he told me whenever I was on it, he’d pull the trigger. I told him I was and he pulled the trigger. He told everybody that I shot it and I went with it.…
