Personal Narrative-Day Deer Season
It’s November, so that means its deer season. Every year deer season starts on the second weekend of November and last for ten days. I get really excited around August because during this time my family and I start exploring the woods looking for signs of deer. We look for signs like scrapes on trees, footprints, and tall grass that looks like it has been laid on and flattened. We set salt blocks out around our tree stands and set our cameras out hoping to catch a picture of a big buck. After we finish all the preparing we wait until the first week of November. During the first week of November we go back to our stands, check the salt blocks, set new blocks out, and grab our cameras to take back home. Once we get home we look at the pictures

This year when I put the SD card in my laptop to check the pictures from my deer camera I saw a lot of different deer. This means that most of the deer survived the previous winter and their offspring did to. As I scrolled through the pictures I saw a lot of young bucks that barely had antlers and were to little to shoot, but then I saw two big bucks with nice antlers. The two bucks definitely were mature bucks because their fur was darker and their antlers were wider. The bigger of the two bucks was a twelve point and the other buck was a ten point. Most of the time both sides of a deer’s antlers are symmetrical. After seeing these deer I was excited to go hunting the next weekend.
Four days into deer season all I had seen was female deer. I saw three opening day, two the second day, four the third day, and the fourth day I saw one. On Wednesday, I got to my stand that afternoon around three-thirty. It wasn’t too cold, but it wasn’t too warm. The wind was blowing very hard, so I started to worry about the deer smelling my scent. Twenty minutes before five o’clock the twelve point buck on my camera walked out behind a female deer. I slowly raised my gun, fired a shot and killed him. Later, my uncle shot the other buck on my camera. It was a very successful day of hunting for my entire family.
