Deer Hunting

This year I went deer hunting with my dad. On Monday October 20th. We went to a friends field out by the desert by a pond. We kept looking through the scopes to see if we could see anything, as we walked down the trail. But we couldn't see a thing.



Just as the sun Touched the tip of the mountain, we were about to go home and go hunting another day. Just as we turned around a 2 by 3 buck jumped out in front of us. Dad shot at it twice and I shot once. I got so excited I didn't care if it was running away all i wanted was to get a deer. So dad shot once and got it Right below the rib cage. I shot it in the hips. Which was kind of bad because that is where most of the meat is. But After dad shot once he thought he missed. and the deer went behind the willows. We thought we lost it then. But I saw it jump out again. Dad shot again and missed. He thought he missed both times, so that got me excited. But it finally went down. Dad though we lost it but i saw it pick its head up and and then lay it back down again. I ran up to it and dad was saying how much he didn't want to gut it in the dark. But I didn't care, I finally got it.



Dad didn't want to gut it in his shirt he was waring. So he said we had run home and get the four-wheelers because he wasn't going to drag it two miles to the car. And he needed rope. So we had to leave the deer there and run home. I was freaking out that the coyotes would come and eat it. But instead of running home right then, dad started to gut it. It got dark and he couldn't see anymore so he said we had to run home. We finally did, He needed a light anyway. We left the deer there without its tag to because I forgot to bring it. So we ran home got every thing and we found it there in one piece. We finally finished gutting it and put it on the four-wheeler, and went home. It was enough adrenalin for one day.



Then on the next Thursdays we skinned the deer and got most of the meat we could. We hoped it wasn't to badly damaged. But we got a good turn out. Out of the meat we got two gallon bags of jerky and a 3 roast things. So it turned out ok. But I finally got my first deer. It's not much to look at but it's still a deer and I'm happy with it.
