Hunting Deer Research Paper

I feel a rush of adrenaline, and my heart races along with my thoughts. I have one thought in my head: “Don’t screw this up.” I hear a sound nearby, and I sense a presence. Then I see it: a deer. The first time I hunted a deer on my own was when I was 14-years-old. I can still remember everything leading up to that final moment of “bagging” a whitetail. From putting out bait to lure them and then having to place a deer stand in which to hunt. Hunting deer is a tedious process, but I love every second of it.

Especially if I got to hunt by myself. According to the trail cameras we

The stand was nearly completed, and I noticed that it didn’t stand very high off of the ground. “This isn’t much of a stand, is it?” I remarked to my dad.

I brought it up into the stand, sat toward the window, and noted that I was sitting a few inches too high. This meant that when I went for a shot on a deer, I would have to hunch down to avoid aiming low. When shooting for the vitals on a whitetail, I have to aim right behind the front shoulder of the deer when it is
