I got to take the ….

I got to take the hunters education course and got my license. I told my dad I really wanted to go hunting since I didn’t get to play sports this fall. Me and my dad went out every day, we saw several does – more than 30, and a few spike bucks on the river bottom, but I kept trying.

“Finally on a cold snowy Thanksgiving Day, we drove toward an area where we previously went, and we walked around a lot and didn’t see anything. We thought our luck had run out. Then in the distance I saw a buck with a group of does, it looked like a nice first buck. I set up and was about 50 yards away in tall sagebrush. I took the shot, and I dropped him, but he kept on crawling through the thick sage and into the trees. I blood trailed him and I saw him lying by some trees and thick sagebrush. I was so happy after all I had gone through to finally get my first deer.”
