Trip essay
We set out to go on what seemed to be a normal hunting trip, but there was nothing normal about it, this is the story of adventure. As we drove into the remote town of Alamakee Iowa. We turned down a gravel road and stop at a small cabin settled in the woods. We walk to the house and knock on the door, we hear someone walking around inside and Matt opens up the door and welcomes us. We get ready to go on the hunting trip and I unscrew the magazine tube cap on my gun and remove the barrel and run a cleaning patch through it, then put it back together and get ready to go on the trip. We then hop in the truck and start driving further into the woods. It took a few minutes but we finally get there and we hop out of the truck and silently shut …show more content…
We gave up and were walking back to the truck when we saw a deer about 150 yards away. Because we were leaving I decided to steady the gun take aim and fire.

When I had shot it it had died almost instantly and there must have been a deer that was next to it that we didn't see and it was that deer that ran into the woods. We clean the deer then drag it a few yards to the truck and put it in the back. We drive to the nearest store and buy a few bags of ice and stuff them inside of it to keep it cool during the night. Even if we didn't get a deer it would have been fun. During the trip I also learned a lot about deer that I didn't know
