UNFORGETTABLE HUNT
When I was a teenager I had an incredible hunt that I will never forget. It was rifle season, and I wanted to put my stand in a place that people did not frequent. I looked until I found the perfect spot. It was down an old, dead-end, dirt road that nobody had driven on in years. The road had grass growing through the dirt and overhanging limbs. At the end of the road was a narrow, overgrown trail, that followed along the sloping edge of a branch head. At the end of the trail, it felt like stepping out of a hallway into an open arena. It was an open hardwood bottom that was beautiful. I could never have known the horror that laid in store for me.
I set my stand on a suitable tree and went back to camp. Thinking about the morning hunt, I could hardly sleep. The picturesque bottom full of oaks, fallen leaves, and acorns kept running through my mind. The next morning I was up early, excited about the hunt. I just knew that I would harvest the buck of my dreams there. The morning was perfect, the air was crisp and cool, the wind was calm, and anxiousness filled my body. The early morning

Those feelings were replaced with a feeling of intrusion. It felt as though I were somewhere I should not be. Ignoring this, I continued to hunt there for the remainder of the morning. After hours of boredom, I decided to leave and come back for the evening hunt. On my return, the thought of moving to a different area entered my mind. Regretfully, I decided to give it another try. Once again, the eerie sound of silence was all that could be heard. This time it was different, manifesting in my mind was a feeling of being watched. When I thought about how strange it made me feel to be there, the decision was made to leave at dusk instead of dark. Looking back, that decision was a smart one. Although, moving the stand to a different area would have been the best

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…

    The cool Autumn wind brushed by our faces while Colin, Brady, and I was walking down the trail to see if there was any action. It was silent, the only sound was our feet stepping on the crunchy leaves and the squirrels running around on the leafless trees. It was about 2:20 PM, and we were going to hunt at 2:30. It was time to get ready...the time to hunt!…

    It was late October and as a high school football trainer, he finally had a Friday evening off and wanted to make the most of it. We drove south to my uncle's farm in Owen County, Kentucky, and stayed the night in his very primitive trailer to stage an early morning hunt. That morning my father and I headed into the woods with our muzzle loading rifles; his was a hand made replica of a Kentucky Long Rifle and mine was a $100 starter rifle. We took our spots in a tree stand we built the Saturday before. The stand was perfect for two people; sitting back to back we could each see our respective ends of the fields as well as a decent distance into the woods on the opposite side of the…

I was curious so I stepped into the woods.…

    Rocketing across the water, the beach and sky blur into one. But in my mind everything is still, even calm in fact. My eyes dart around. I see men. Pain and panic fill their eyes. Some tremble as if catching a fever. Other soldiers clutch on to their weapons as if gripping onto their mother’s hand when learning how to walk. Some soldiers drink from their canteens, as if it’s the last drink to enter their bodies. I feel my heart race, blood pump through my veins. The Captain yells, “30 seconds! Good luck, men. May God be with you and I’ll see you on the beach!”…

    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…

    The sun has just recently begun to dip below the horizon, causing a mix of pink and blue to shoot across the sky, reminding me of cotton candy. Shadows of elaborate rock formations had began to cast shadows and were gradually growing longer, creating an eerie feeling deep in the canyon. I trekked on, wanting to make it out by nightfall. I rounded a bin and was delighted to spot the end of the trail! I starting rushing down the trail only to have my spirits brought back down as I send another pile of rock bouncing down the cliff.…

    A memento, a token, a keepsake, and a talisman can be anything from a small item kept in memory of the person who gave it to you or originally owned it, to an object kept as a reminder or souvenir of an event. A memento, a token, a keepsake and a talisman are souvenirs, something that stirs memories from the past, so you will never forget them. You need these memories to have something to look back on when you get older, when that one special person who meant so much to you is gone in an instant.…

    I succumb to temptation as to continue this journey. I open the door and I hear a creaky din; my heart begins to palpitate. Inside the house, the remains of the damaged furniture are covered with thick blanket of dust. On the walls lie dusty wallpapers and portraits watching my every move. Spiders make massive webs contributing to the cloudy look within the building. Parts of the stairs have been broken and each board creeks as I walk on them. Skeletal remains lie on the ground like carpet and rats and roaches scamper over it. Suddenly, I hear the sounds of crickets and owls hooting within a distance. The palpitation of my heart increase even more when I hear an eerie voice warning me to leave or I will be trapped…

    If I sit on the front porch, in my old oak rocking chair, I can see the trees waving in the early morning breeze. I love this when there is a slight frost and the air is crisp. Yes, it’s a bit chilly, but I pull my fuzzy red bathrobe tighter around me and enjoy the coolness. I watch as the last few hummingbirds hit the feeder, searching for their early morning meal. Soon all the leaves will be gone, leaving only the bare branches for me to watch. In a few minutes the sun will be peeking through the trees and the crystal ice will melt away. I sit here, drinking in the sights, sounds, and smells of early morning in the wooded hills where I live. It is a peaceful feeling knowing that I need not hurry for anything this morning. I reflect on the fact that I am a lucky woman.…
