Descriptive Essay Hunting

It was about a 500-mile trek across the northern part of the state of Nevada from my house to where we were going to set up camp for the hunt. We had planned for two solid days of scouting the vast Jarbidge wilderness for elk. We had no guide so between me, my dad, and my uncle, lots of work was about to be done in the weekend.

When I turned 5 my mom took me on a trip to someplace strange, I didn’t really know where I was going all I knew was I’d finally get to meet my dad. So after about a week long trip I arrived in Laredo Texas, where we stayed for a week or so before we were driven to Austin. My life completely

The next Monday coach gave us practice off so I headed home again. That night I went over to my brother's house and borrowed his shotgun because it had a fully rifled barrel with a scope. This gun was much better than mine. While I was there we talked about where he had shot his deer and where he had saw other deer. I headed home that night with little hope that I would actually get a deer at all. It was really cold when I got up the next morning. I headed out to a spot near where my brother shot his deer. As I walked out the snow covered ground crunched under my feet. I got set up in my spot and settled down for the wait. I was sitting there for about forty five minutes when I heard a noise.

One glorious morning my grandpa and I got up bright and early. We got ready and headed into the woods to prepare for our deer hunt. We walked through the brush as quiet as possible so that we would not spook any animals in the area. On our way to the hunting spot, we stopped in a couple areas to take in how beautiful the view was. Once we took the view in we kept moving toward our hunting spot. Finally, we reach our hunting blind and we get all set up for the hunt. My grandpa and I sat in the blind and talked quietly about how we hoped a deer would come by soon so that we didn’t have to hunt all day. About twenty-five minutes into the hunt I hear a faint noise come from behind me. My eyes lit up with excitement hoping that when I turned around

I had really wanted to go hunting, as I had never been. My dad started practicing shooting with me, going over how the safety worked and how to hold the gun. I practiced with his .243, which had a little bigger kick than the .22 I was used to. Opening morning of deer season, we headed out of the house about 6:00. We were in a blind, up off the ground, looking over a big field with trees behind us. About 7:30, my dad elbowed me in the side, pointing ahead of us. I looked, and saw the buck. The body was a little small, but it had a decent rack, especially for my first time. I looked through the scope, and squeezed the trigger. The deer took off running, and then stopped about 20 yards later. Dad told me to shoot it again, in case I missed the first. I was shaking like a little kid hyped up on sugar, but I shot again. This time, the deer went down, spinning around in circles. My dad got out of the blind, taking the gun with him so he could put it out of its misery. He shot, and missed. By the time he got to the deer, it was dead. Dad went and got the truck, and we field dressed it. We took the deer to the processor, and saw where I had shot the deer. As it turned out, I didn’t need to shoot him the second time, the first would have killed him anyways. It was two inches to the left of the heart, and at 210 yards, I’m pretty proud of that. It was definitely something I won’t forget any time

It was a Wednesday afternoon, it was cold and windy. I had hunted the day before and didn't see a thing, so I wanted to kill a deer badly. We pulled up to the spot and I met the guy who was taking me too the stand. He drive me to the stand.

My mother took my brothers and I over to one of my mom's coworkers (and good friend’s) house on the white river.whenever we went there we knew we were either fishing or kayaking,I have never done them both at the same time, but this day I guess I did both of them.

In 2009, I was asked if I was interested in joining my aunt, uncle and cousin on a trip to the deer lease. Considering I had never gone deer hunting before, it seemed as though it would be a fun experience. So, I agreed to go and the following weekend, we left to the lease.

It was early fall in 2011. I drove to my Ne-Ne and Papaws house. My Papaw and I had planned to spend the day out at Club Lake. We gathered our fishing poles and tackle boxes and put them in the boat. My Ne-Ne had made us some sandwiches to have for a snack. We put them in the ice chest as we got in the truck.

We arrived at the field we were hunting at. It was still dark out, but the sun was starting to come up. My father and I stated walking back to our tree stands, and I look over in the corn field, and up on the hill I saw a deer, it was just a doe, but the site was beautiful,

Once we got to our land which was about 9 miles from where we were staying in Faulkton, SD. My dad dropped me off on the edge of a mile long tree grove. My dad said “if you see anything let me know, text me don't call.” I jumped out of the pickup and started my long walk through the trees. As I walked through the cold and snowy trees trying to kick up a deer I heard the snap of a twig about 25 yards to the left of me. When I looked I realized that it was an impressive 12 point buck that was rubbing his horns on a tree and breaking off some small twigs. I got down on my knees as slowly and Quietly as I could without spooking the massive deer away. The deer didn't even notice me as I sat

Another hour passed, and both my dad and I started to consider packing it in for another spot. Just then, my dad alerted me to five deer bounding across the road. I raised up my gun and got ready to shoot, but before I could take the shot, the deer got our scent and proceeded back into the bush. My dad looked over to me and said, “It’s all

Looking back on the experience, the deer I harvested was much smaller than my six year old mind had made it seem, only a four point! Nonetheless, I was ecstatic and consumed with a passion for hunting that even now I cannot describe. It was almost like an addiction, like I had to be in the woods or I would go through withdrawals. My dad was extremely proud along with Tom who was more like an uncle to me than anything. After the deer was dressed we decided to relax and enjoy each other’s company before we went back to the woods that

Eventually my dad got hungry so we left and got Waffle House. When we came back to the Property, it was at least 2 in the afternoon. Instead of climbing back into the deer stand we sat in a ground blind. I was so tired and eventually dozed off while sitting upright in a backless chair. I woke up not long later and my dad signaled that there was a small buck coming up the hill. We got into position and then my dad pulled the trigger. I jumped out of my skin! My ears were still ringing as we made our way out of the tent to hunt
