Personal Narrative-Tale Deer
It's cold, very very cold. It's snowing, not too hard, but hard enough to notice I can feel the rifle in my hand. Under my feet, I can feel the snow beneath my boots. Sitting on the hay bale, I breath, and I can taste the crisp air. I can see the sun coming up over the trees. My dad is off in the distance somewhere. Then i hear it! It is the bang of a high powered rifle. I get off my hay bale, throw my pack on my back, and start jogging for where he said he'd be. My dad was just sitting there. He had the biggest grin I've had ever seen before. When we looked out over the grass. I saw it! It was a huge white tale deer probably a 6x6. We waited a few more minutes. Then we went over there. I really saw it; a big buck with an even bigger …show more content…
Where we hunt, we have 50,000 acres, so we had plenty of spots to choose from. After about 10 minutes we found a great spot overlooking a pond where deer go to drink from. We only sat for about 3 minutes when bill drove up and decided to join us, so we laid atop the hill calling and waiting, calling and waiting for maybe half hour when a huge buck walked in. Oh, i was so excited! I took aim at him. I was exhaling slowly then BANG a gunshot but, my gun hadn't gone off. Bill had shot the deer. I was so mad, but I didn't say anything because he hadn't shot many deer before. So, we cleaned Bill's deer. Got it in his truck and sent him on his way. After he left, we talked about it. We decided it was a jerk move, I mean he had just stole a deer from a twelve year old who had never shot one before. We also decided no more people coming and stealing our deer. So, after that incident we decided to be done for that …show more content…
She was making steak over a little camping stove outside. It looked delicious. She was hunting, but she decided to turn in early. At this time, it was about 17:00 hours. We all had nice beds and warm blankets. After we got done with diner and dishes, it was about 19:00 hours. There was a knock on the door. It was my friend Ayden, it was his grandpa's land. He asked what time we wanted to start hunting in the morning we told him to be here at 6:00 A.M. After that we turned in for the night, we watched TV till about 22:00. Then we went to bed.

The next morning we were up before the sun. We were in the gator, and we drove till about 7:00 A.M. We found deer haven. There were hundreds to chose from: bucks, does, fawns. Mule deer, White tale, and Black tale. There were so many to chose from. Then I saw it! It looked like the king of them all, a trophy buck with probably ten little fawns dancing around it and five does just laying by him. It was the biggest mule deer I had ever seen. I laid down on my stomach, laid out my bipod, exhaled, and pulled the trigger. It dropped like a stone and just laid

    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…

    The first hour and a half we listened to the birds and watched the squirrels eat away at the trail mix. The sight of this made me hungry so I got out my peanut butter sandwich and red Gatorade. Around 4:45, I was lightly sleeping when I heard a loud snap from a few hundred yards away. My mind began racing as I tried to figure out what could have made that noise. Every couple minutes I could hear another branch break and it was getting closer and closer. An hour later the noise had moved from a few hundred yards in front of us to less than 30 yards behind us. “Don’t move” my dad whispered. We could hear leaves crunching under the feet of whatever was behind us. The noise continued onto the path that leads right to the bait pile. I slowly turned my head to the left and saw a 325-pound bear with a furry, black coat. Instantly my breathing became heavy, my whole body was shaking and my heart was about to pound out of my chest. I grabbed by gun and raised it to my shoulder, almost dropping it from all my shaking. I rested my Remington pump shotgun on the chilly aluminum edge of the Rivers Edge tree stand. “Click” I took the safety off of my shotgun and looked down the iron sights. The bear was licking the frosting on top of the white cedar log. BANG! The bear spun and took off into the thick green underbrush and fell after 20 yards. I couldn’t believe it; I was so excited. My dad and I waited 30 minutes and then we got down from the tree stand and followed the trail to where the bear was laying. I reached down and touched the smooth, plush coat of the bear, thanking it for the meat it would provide for my…

    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…

    Being one of my later hunts of the season, it was very cold. Nearing the end of the season I was anxious to finally get a deer, as we hadn’t even seen one all season. It was already a weird season so far: beginning with a strange heat wave, ending abruptly with a cold front. It had snowed the night before, only about an inch. We put our teeth (claws that help with traction) on the bottom of our boots, just to be safe.…

    This has been a tradition for many years. After we were done eating breakfast we went back out it was now about 12:30. Before heading back to the stand we decided to stop and check to see how our friends had done hunting that morning. Dad and I arrived at their house and they had a deer hanging that they shot that morning. It was nothing huge, just a six pointer but still a buck. We are getting ready to head back out and do the evening sit. This is when we usually see the most deer. We are patiently waiting in the stand hoping we see a big buck, we both had a feeling we were not sure what it…

    It’s midnight and as I expected, a black Ford F-150 Truck with tinted windows pulls up to my house. I walk outside holding a backpack with my portable speakers and a baseball bat. However, I quickly change my mind and leave the baseball bat inside the house. I hop into the back seat of the truck and am greeted by four large burly kids. “What’s up Matt?” says Ben who is sitting in the drivers seat. With music blasting, Ben takes off the parking brake and presses his foot down onto the gas pedal. Soon we are heading down dark winding roads as we listen to music from Captain Murphy, which contributes to our mischievous mood. Finally we arrive.…

    The trail continued around the east side of the lake entering a gathering of trees forming an insignificant forest along the lake’s shoreline. From our viewpoint, the trees concealing the trail eventually dispersed on the southeast side of the lake, and the trail blended into the landscape. Using our imagination, we envisioned the route against the rugged terrain sloping into the lake. No point in taking a vote now, we had trekked to the lake and the consensus was to proceed with a lap around the lake.…

    We pointed the gun, and bam, my first deer was down, this was when I knew that this place was going to be a special place to me. Growing up, going to deer camp with my daddy was always a very exciting thing for me. Hopewell was practically where I grew up; the dusty dirt roads, beautiful and quiet backwoods, deep mud holes, wild animals, friends and family made that place a home for me. Most people wouldn’t really consider their deer camp as their safe place and I guess that’s what makes me different from others.…

    We set up and went to bed early. I could hardly sleep. The whole night is kind of a blur, but the next morning around 5:00, my dad woke me up and we all set out into the darkness. Hiking up to the area where we thought the elk would be, we saw a huge, 8 point bull elk, but it was before shooting light and we had to let him run off. After this, my dad and I found a small meadow in and sat down to wait for shooting light. As the meadow filled with light, we heard tons of shots all around, but mostly down the hill below us, we saw nothing, so after an hour or so, we moved on. After a while trekking through some thick brush, we found a clearing. The cycle of hiking, waiting, and seeing nothing repeated itself a few times. Then, in the closing minutes of daylight, we came across Kotchwar, who had downed a cow elk an hour before. We all headed back to the spike camp. Kotchwar headed back to the main camp, and my dad and me felt some disappointment watching him leave, but this had happened before and my dad had gotten an elk, so we had hope. We made these horrible MRE like things for dinner and went to bed, feeling optimistic for the coming…
