Life changing events are different for everyone. The first time I killed a deer it lit a passion in me for the outdoors and helped me to carry on the tradition of my family. I had gone scouting with my dad prior to this and I had even gone hunting a few times, but I had never killed a deer. I had shot a gun. I knew the loud crack in my ear, the gentle kick back against my shoulder, and I knew how to aim. I was pretty good at lining my target up in the crosshairs. However, the opportunity had never presented itself for me to claim the trophy. This day was different. The first time I killed a deer it lit a passion in me for the outdoors and helped me to carry on the tradition of my family. My dad had told me we were going hunting, …show more content…
We got to the blind and got situated before the sun came up. I sat a looked at the scenery, scanning the hillside for a buck. In my softest voice, I whispered to my dad. “How long do we wait?”
“As long as it takes, buddy,” he replied. We sat for most of the morning without seeing a buck. After four hours, my dad decided we should leave and come back in the evening. We packed it up, climbed out of the blind and headed for our camp Our plan was to back before dark.
Deer movement picked up around dark. Then, my dad saw something. A buck was coming across the field. “Do you see it?” he asked excitedly. After a few seconds of searching through the scope, I told him, “I see it! Can I shoot?” It was a spike, on its way from the brushy hillside. I put the crosshair behind its front shoulder and tried to shoot. “I can’t pull the trigger,” I told my dad. So, he slipped off the safety and I shot. The deer kept walking. I put another shell in the chamber of the gun and put the cross hair back on the deer’s shoulder. I shot it again, and the deer did not go down. I put another shell in, and it just kept coming up the hill. We had to reload the gun and get out of the blind. The buck went down in between the two hills. When it came back up, I shot at least two more times. I had finally killed my first buck! After the initial excitement, my dad took me back to the camp to wait while he and my grandpa got the
According to the Democrat & Chronicle, a hunter had been knocked down while hunting in New York. Because he had been injured and could not get up, he fired the shotgun he carried into the air so that fellow hunters would hear him. His brother was the first to discover him, and they found that a single hoof mark had been left on his clothes. Whenever you are approaching an injured deer, always practice caution. All injured animals can do a lot of damage if cornered.
Through the light that his flashlight cast he could make out a man walking through the forest up ahead. He raised the gun to his shoulder and took a shot. He heard a grunt and the man fell
That’s one thing with having a place out on the prairie: plenty of time to go get a shotgun. “What can I do for you stranger?” yelled the rancher while they were still maybe 70 yards apart. The shotgun was propped against the well, hidden from view. But it was within easy reach.
High in the mountains O’Brien and his men come across a baby water buffalo. Rat Kiley offers some of his C rations to the buffalo, but the buffalo doesn’t eat them. Rat Kiley Shrugged and shoots the buffalo multiple times. Despite the multiple gunshot wounds the water buffalo barely stays alive. The men then dump the buffalo in the local well.
He was hiding behind a tree and poked his head out to find a shotgun aimed right at
Hill Billy aimed his gun up in the tree at the coon, BOOM, a 12 gauge shot rang throughout the river bottom. As soon as that coon hit the ground another one came running past Hill Billy and Camo followed. Hill Billy finally came to the tree in which the coon was tree 'd in. This particular tree was right in the middle of the river. Camo wouldn’t go in the river which was unusual Hill Billy thought.
Rat went to automatic. He shot randomly, almost casually, quick little spurts in the belly and butt. Then he reloaded, squatted down, and shot it in the left front knee. Again the animal fell hard and tried to get up, but this time it couldn't quite make it... All the while the baby buffalo was silent, or almost silent, just a light bubbling sound where the nose had been.
My dad and I went on a muzzleloader antelope hunting trip, in Central Oregon. Four days into our trip, on September 1st, we started our morning off like the past three days, very tired. We stumbled out of our beds and, drowsily, we geared up and left for another unknowing day of hunting. Once we arrived at some alfalfa fields, my dad let me drive the dirt roads.
The Hunt It was a gloomy September day and the bear hunting season was about to begin. The old farm truck was loaded full with barrels of cooking grease, assorted candy, birdseed and tubes of sticky frosting. We were to hunt four hours north in a little town called Orr, Minnesota. My family had an 80 acre lot that we used strictly for hunting. My mom volunteered to sit in the stand with me and videotape the hunt.
It was 6:00 A.M. and my soccer match was in 3 hours. My alarm clock went off for 5 straight minutes until I finally turned it off and decided to wake up. The night before, I decided to practice for at least 30 minutes but I actually practiced for 2 hours and 30 minutes. I did some sprinting drills, running drills, shooting drills, and just some regular exercise such as push ups and sit ups.

As brutus sits here looking at me i can feel the boredom from brutus.
The first day if hunting we went into the Black Hills and did a lot if walking to find some deer. When we finally found some my brother was the first to shoot, since he picked the bigger straw out of three, which was how we decided who gets to shoot first, he missed. So I was next up and when we saw another deer it was really far away and it took my seven shits before I killed it. It wasn't even worth trying to kill it because it was just a fawn and I wasted seven shots killing it and that was the end of day one.
