Some people think spending a day in the woods is relaxing and peaceful. I used to think that as well, until I went turkey hunting. Spending a day in the woods hunting with my brothers was a frustrating, hard, and aggravating all at the same time because of the mistakes you’ll make. It’s a life changing experience. It’ll get your blood pumping and your heart racing you’ll end up wanting to go turkey hunting more often than you think.
You might think it’s a little insane to wake up at four thirty am escapade into the woods and get bitten up by all kinds of bugs and get filthy. But it’s what you have to do if want to hunt you’ll need to get there before others do and before the turkeys wake up you have to find a spot to sit and call them with a turkey call known as a box call. But there is one debasement you can’t shoot till the sun comes up that’s kind of a long wait from four thirty to six o’clock am. It’s

I heard voices behind me that I soon recognized as my brothers. I turn around to see them both carrying a cooler full of turkey and they both have two turkeys on their shoulders. Honestly seeing that made me want to cry because of all the anger built up inside me, but I sucked it up like a man and said “we need to go to another spot before we leave” and they looked at me funny like I was joking I said “you guys are loaded with turkey and I still have yet to shoot one so we’re not leaving till I got one.” Little did they know I had the keys to the truck, see they let me drive them to Richloam because I just got my permit and I just left the keys in my pocket. They both agreed with me on the subject so we stayed out. Bubba said that he knew of one more spot down the road its guaranteed a turkey, we started walking we walked for what felt like an hour I didn’t want to leave empty handed I came too far to do so. We get there and we put our Ghillie masks on and we sit down and we called them for about thirty
There are different regulations regarding hunting in different states, and in Minnesota, the times for hunting run from 12:00 noon until 4:00 p.m. on opening day and at sunrise for the remainder of the season. Although this doesn’t seem like a lot of time, the ten of us made some memories I will never forget. We arrived at our blind at 10:30 a.m. The sky was swarming with ducks before we even got things set up. Everywhere I looked I saw ducks swooping in and out of decoys. It wasn’t going to take long to bag our limit, and I knew we were going to get the season off to a great start. All we had to do was wait until noon!
The wilderness allows people to escape the crazy hectic lives they live daily and just unwind. Chris McCandless was “ unheeded, happy, and near to the wild heart,” throughout his soul-searching journey in the wilderness (Krakauer 31). Many people like Chris will experience different sensations in the serene wilderness, however it calls
The people of the Eastern Woodlands made many tools to help them in their everyday lives. They made spears, weirs, nets, bows and arrows, lances, knives, taps, snares and deadfall for hunting. Most of those tools were made of wood or bark and other forest material. Arrowheads were made from chert, or flint, from sedimentary rocks. They were shaped like isosceles triangles, the smallest arrows were used for hunting birds, the bigger ones were to spear bears or deer. Flint knives were often oval, or teardrop shaped. For fishing they made spears, weirs, and nets. They also made canoes from hollowed-out trees to help with fishing in the lakes and streams. Some other tools they made were axes made of stone to strip bark, clear fields and removing fat from hides. Axes
What matter is that the hunter is having fun doing what they love with their best friends. Waterfowl hunting is not a ordinary hunting experience it is above and beyond ordinary. Waterfowl hunting is waking up on cold mornings at 3A.M., drinking coffee, playing with the hunting dog, seeing places no one has ever seen before, and bonding with the greatest of friends. These are the memories a hunter will always remember, waterfowl hunting will change lives, waterfowl hunting is a addiction, and once someone is hooked they will never turn back. Bink Grimes says when he started waterfowl hunting it was dreadful the first few weeks, then he said once he started noticing the real aspects of hunting he enjoyed it more and more each time he went (Grimes). The proof is everywhere that waterfowl hunting is the greatest outdoor sport all around the world. Nevertheless, always be safe, and always enjoy the hunt, and make the greatest
Tara and I got scratched up by the roosters all around our arms and torso from their sharp talons. Tending the chickens was quite a challenge but we managed to make it through.Late night a loud knock disturbed the silence inside waking me and Tara from our slumber. I open the door only to see 3 police officers with torches asking us to step
Many times in the sport, it can become boring, but at the same time, it is relaxing and therapeutic to hear birds chirping and listen to the peaceful calm of the woods. Like hunting, when fishing you have to fish for many hours before getting that nibble or bite. Again, fishing and hunting are similar because you have to be a 'ghost' to your prey.
Have you ever imagined having to living in the forest for any amount of time?Have you ever even thought about it?

Being out in the woods is meaningful to me because, of the excitement I get out of observing deer in their habitat and the challenges that are presented by the sport of hunting. Once that deer is close enough that I can see it my adrenaline starts to pump and my heart starts to beat a little faster. The excitement that comes with seeing a deer is great, but it is even better if the deer is in shooting range. I have been bow hunting for two years and am already hooked on it because of the anticipation of getting a shot off at a big buck, but watching the deer and how they react in their own habitat is ne...

Many Americans love to hike. There are many hiking trails located in the United States. One of the most well known trails is the Appalachian Trail. The Appalachian Trail, with its distinct history, requires much conservation for the safety of its many hikers.
Bill Bryson’s “A Walk in the Woods” is a book that epitomizes the struggles that one needs to go through in order to better themselves. This is evident with the main characters. They are two middle aged men named Bryson, a man who resideds in New Hampshire and Katz, Bryson’s overweight alcoholic college friend from Iowa. When he thought of someone to accompany him, a grumpy college friend named Katz came to mind. As they started off, Bryson started off with the goal that the trail was only being hiked as a way to see the grand nation of America, but it lead to so much more as it uncovered many important topics. This is true because the trail was filled with adventure in discovering America’s heartland and realizing their own personal problems. Through this, the men conquered many areas of their life that they were not strong in before including fitness, cooperation with others and finally, specifically, Katz addressing his personal issues. Therefore, even though they didn’t complete the entire trail, which was the original goal, they achieved something else that is more important, conquering their personal flaws, thus making this trip a complete, utter success.
Flannery O'Connor is a very complex writer in terms of her use of symbolism in addition to the elements of the grotesque and blackly humorous. O'Connor’s story, "A View of the Woods," is symbolically complicated. The story focuses on the relationship of Mary Fortune Pitts, a little girl, and her grandfather, Mr Fortune. The story is one of conflict that mounts to tragedy in the end. The conflict is basically between Mary Fortune and her grandfather over the sale of some ground that Mary Fortune finds important for her father's grazing of his cattle and for the view of the woods. You might look carefully at the woods in this story because they assume a symbolic significance similar to the woods in "Greenleaf."
Walking through the woods never fails to clear my mind. After spending all day sitting in a stale classroom, filled with stress, confusion, and overwhelming responsibilities, taking a long stroll through the familiar woods behind my grandmother’s house lifts any worries that could ever weigh me down. I never wander through aimlessly. I always follow the trail of grass that has been deliberately cut down shorter than the rest, making it easier to tread through to the small creek at the end of the trail. The entire journey through the woods behind my grandmother’s house, there and back, first took on a whole new importance in my life during my junior year of high school.
Bill Bryson the author of the short story ‘A Walk in the Woods’ constructs the story in a certain way to try to get the reader to accept his attitudes and values about how dangerous and death defying Earl V. Shaffer and other’s are in attempting to travel the trail. He uses the techniques of emotive language, unusual language and use of first hand accounts in the short story ‘A Walk in the Woods‘ . The use of descriptive and humorous language, combined with conversational text has allowed Bryson to express his feelings and opinions on his and others experiences on the Appalachian Trail to the audience.
It was a calm, overcast day, and I found myself resting at the side of a large oak tree, admiring the beauty of the woods that surrounded me.
