My First Deer It was the Friday before the opening of bow season in September 2010. I can clearly remember sitting in school on that Friday afternoon, daydreaming about deer and the woods. I waiting impatiently for school to end so I could get my camo, deer stand, and bow ready for the next morning. My dad and I woke up early on that Saturday morning. It was a chilly as I sat in my deer stand, but the forest was alive with activity, the birds were chirping a tune, the squirrels were running along the tree branches, and the breeze blew through the tree branches, making a calming sound. As the day wore on not a single deer had walked close enough for me too get off a shot. As it neared lunch time I packed up my hunting gear and headed back …show more content…
In my tree stand I tried to sit as still, but being a ten year old sitting for that long is a trial. I can for some reason vividly remember how the leaves on some trees were a deep green and how the leaves on the quaking aspen, and sugar maples were bright yellow and orange. It was nearing six o'clock and my mind had wandered off into another world a long time ago, of a sudden a crack too my left startled me out of my day dreams, instantly alert I looked around but did not see anything due to the thick brush too my left. Slowly i stood up so if the chance came i could have the best shot possible. I waited for five minutes, then out of the corner of my eye i caught movement. A buck was just coming around the trees and up the trail. I waited patiently, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I let it go behind a small patch of trees so it wouldn't notice me when i drew my bow. I drew my bow shaking with buck fever, the buck walked into my shooting lane, I tried to calm my breathing and take aim, twack i released my arrow, by a miracle it seemed, my arrow hit the buck who took off running at full speed. I sat back in my stand, my whole body shaking. I waited about forty five minutes for the deer to bed down and die. I quickly booked it up too my dad's stand and told him i had gotten a deer. We changed out of our hunting clothes and grabbed
Many people in Mississippi enjoy deer hunting. Out of all the people in Mississippi that hunt, only a select few of them prefer to bow hunt. Bow hunting is more challenging than gun hunting because there are many things that have to happen before a deer will come into range for a bowshot. Bow hunters find it more enjoyable when they harvest a deer with a bow. This being said, there is only a certain time of deer season when it is legal to hunt with a bow. From October 15th until November 21st and then once more from January 1st to January 22nd, 1 out of a 5 month, there is a short amount of time to harvest a deer with a bow. Bow hunting is only allowed for a small portion of the hunting season; bow hunting should be permitted for the entire season because it offers more options, it is more enjoyable, and it is cheaper.
Hey, I didn’t see you there, how are you?I'm just wondering whether or not a big ol' grizzly bear is going to come charging at me at any point in my life, but seeing as grizzly bears are endangered that probably won't happen. In the past, there were thought to be around 50,000 grizzly bears in North America, nowadays they are growing sparse there are estimated to be only around 1800, now not even a 20th of the population in the past. Most of these grizzlies are located in Yellowstone National Park and Alaska, but they can also be found in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Montana. Some are thought to be in Washington.
Fall is just around the corner, meaning that it’s almost deer season and time to plan where to get some venison this year. Of course, there is no question that Alabama has plenty of deer, providing Cotton State hunters’ ample opportunities to bring home some meat.
There is on time that I will never forget. It was early in the morning, I was running behind about 15 minutes, so by the time I got out in the woods it was legal shooting hours. Theirs a spot on the side of the road where corn is stored by Game Fish and Parks. I had seen deer their before so I drove be before hiking in to my stand. Standing 40 yards is probably the biggest buck I have ever seen on public hunting grounds. I jumped out of my truck and pulled up on him. Now my bow has three sights on it. They are set at ten yards, 20 yards, and 30 yards. The deer being at 40 yards I was a little unsure if I could hit him. I had shot at 40 yards before so I roughly knew I had to use my 30 yard sight and aim around 2.5 to 3 feet above the buck. By the time I had all this calculated the buck didn’t want to stick around any longer so he ran off. It had just snowed the night before so it was easy for me to follow him. I followed him for about a mile the he jumped the fence onto private land ending the hunt. I still have yet to see him again. Most hunters that I know that both bow and rifle hunt feel the same
I looked up just as a doe came running of the ridge to my right. As I slowly reached for my range finder I noticed she was panting hard as if something was chasing her. As she made her way toward me she slowed to a trot. Then when she was about ten yards away from me she suddenly bolted!
The hardest part of hunting may be waiting what seems to be an eternity until the start of the season. While I wait, I have many things to do in preparation for the hunt. The first thing that needs done is scouting for stomped down popular deer trails that are little more than narrow paths of mud and feces. The next step requires carrying a heavy metal stand through thick briars
of the deer, getting the privilege to hunt can increase a person’s knowledge of the outdoors. Even if a hunter does not produce a kill it is still such a breath taking experience just getting to be in
The last dynasty of China, Qing, was exemplified by administrative prowess and continued the operation of a centralized government. Specialists in the palace workshops produced luxury objects for the imperial court. The Vase of the “Hundred Deer” is one kind of the most lavish porcelain produced for the court in the Qing dynasty, which have superior quality compared to other porcelain of the time. For many years, this kind of vase has been considered as rare famille rose porcelain and once had become fairly popular during the Qianlong Period. The delicate workmanship and the beautiful meaning behind this piece become the reason why I chose it. The Qianlong Emperor had been keen on these vases not just because of their exquisite workmanship,
My grandpa and I decided that this was my morning to kill my first deer. Every man
Many traditions take place often, but mine only happens once month out of a year, November. November is the month that deer season starts with both bow and rifle. Hunting takes a lot of planning and patients. The place I hunt at is near Lamar, MO, but last year was the best by far. During bow season, I took down a doe and rifle season, I
They are the cause of extreme destruction of property, deadly traffic collisions, costly theft, and even jaywalking. This is not the rap sheet of a vicious new gang, but instead a different menace to society. The white-tailed deer, or Odocoileus virginianus has been causing issues in Newark Ohio, and all across the United States for years. With millions of automotive collisions, and billions in damages annually, we need to discuss deer overpopulation and pursue immunocontraception as a solution to this issue. Immunocontraception is humane, cost-effective, innocuous, benign to the public, and preeminently, effective.
I was nearly finished with my cigarette when behind me I heard the sound of something moving through the grass. I quickly but quietly extinguished my cigarette in the palm of my gloved hand and turned around. My eyes scanned to see exactly where the sounds had come from, and I only hoped that the smell of my cigarette hadn't spooked whatever was walking behind me. After about ten seconds I saw the ears of a deer sticking up above the tall grass about thirty yards from me. I slowly reached to my right to remove my bow from a hook in the tree. The deer was now moving towards me through the long grass, and behind it was another deer. I knew that the rut (the peak mating season) was well under way and this second deer may be a buck. After what seemed like an eternity the second deer came into view. It was a buck, as I had thought, but it was bigger than any deer I had ever seen.
There are many reasons why people enjoy conservation hunting but what they do not know is how that type of aggressive behavior will affect them and how they will treat other human beings. Many people hunt and fish for survival, which sometimes can make sense why humans might see a person killing a deer since our bodies need meat and fats to function in society. Although some people kill these poor animals in an inhumane way while others just hunt and kill animals to have a good time. Animals are hunted for fur for people to wear or to display in their homes, and for parts that can be used in creams and makeup-ups. Jed Goodfellow, a lecturer in Animal Law, states that sometimes people have the idea that if they are wearing a real animal's coat
Squinting my eyes to the over bearing light, I sat up in my bed. I could hear the raspy morning voice of my sister telling me to hurry up. The cold wood floor sent chills all over my body as I started to get dressed and it slowed me down. I wanted to get back into my warm pajamas and crawl into my flannel sheets and sleep the day away but to my dismay I left to gather our stuff. Getting out the deer blind, that was covered in spiders and their webs, put us a little behind schedule. When we finally got over the hill and to the spot we had scouted out the day before, we started to set up. We chose a spot that was like a valley, where four hills surrounded a strip of flat land. The hills made a good barrier from the direct cold wind and we only felt a
White-tailed deer the most common member of the deer family and are also known as “Virginia Deer”. The first part of the name comes from its most distinctive feature, the 6-11 inch white tail or “flag”. A white-tailed deer averages around 42 inches tall, this deer ranges anywhere from 100 and 300 pounds in weight. The color of the deer's upper body and sides changes with the season, from a normal reddish-brown in summer to a greyish color in winter. Its belly and underside of its tail is completely white along with a white patch on their throat. White-tailed deer shed its fur twice a year, changing from a heavier coat in the winter to a thinner coat in the spring. A fawns coat is very similar, except that it has many white spots all over until about 4 months old. Fawns are born late spring or early summer.
