It was crazy to start the hike with green grass but end up in snow and freezing rain and mud. On one part of trail we were hiking and fell into the icy cold river. We had to peel our boots, socks and pants and put our thermal gear on. Of course this brought on more rain. We sprinted down a large mountain while freezing cold with no boots or socks on. Everyone was miserable. We finally made it to our campsite, where we started a fire and listened to bugling Elk while staring at the stars. We woke up the next morning to three large Mule Deer looking into our tent.…
The trail continued around the east side of the lake entering a gathering of trees forming an insignificant forest along the lake’s shoreline. From our viewpoint, the trees concealing the trail eventually dispersed on the southeast side of the lake, and the trail blended into the landscape. Using our imagination, we envisioned the route against the rugged terrain sloping into the lake. No point in taking a vote now, we had trekked to the lake and the consensus was to proceed with a lap around the lake.…
We set up and went to bed early. I could hardly sleep. The whole night is kind of a blur, but the next morning around 5:00, my dad woke me up and we all set out into the darkness. Hiking up to the area where we thought the elk would be, we saw a huge, 8 point bull elk, but it was before shooting light and we had to let him run off. After this, my dad and I found a small meadow in and sat down to wait for shooting light. As the meadow filled with light, we heard tons of shots all around, but mostly down the hill below us, we saw nothing, so after an hour or so, we moved on. After a while trekking through some thick brush, we found a clearing. The cycle of hiking, waiting, and seeing nothing repeated itself a few times. Then, in the closing minutes of daylight, we came across Kotchwar, who had downed a cow elk an hour before. We all headed back to the spike camp. Kotchwar headed back to the main camp, and my dad and me felt some disappointment watching him leave, but this had happened before and my dad had gotten an elk, so we had hope. We made these horrible MRE like things for dinner and went to bed, feeling optimistic for the coming…
3 people fell into a ditch as we were running and were slaughtered by the bear. Everyone was panicking and running, and many fell over and were attacked by the bear. My group got away by doing sharp turns and running around trees, but was badly injured. I was horrified and grabbed some leaves to help my group, but only myself, Froog, Googa, Berg, and the dogs lived, and a majority of our group was dead. We walked out of the woods, and buried the bodies.…
One day there was a hurricane this hurricane was known as Katrina. Izaac and Kamrin and Shane were playing football and we saw a deer and at that moment, a large gust of wind smacked the car in front of the deer. We went flying a few feet in the air when we gained our senses, and looked at the deer all we saw was deer guts and skin.…
On a sunny Saturday morning when I was 5 years old, my sister and I were playing a game where we would push ourselves off of our bed like it was a slide. Our room was a pigsty; it looked as if a tornado had passed through. The mess from our closet met up with the end of our bed. I had just slid down the bed feet first into the mess when it happened.…
Long ago, in the Appalachian Mountain region, there was Bear. He was the greatest and mightiest of all bears. One morning he woke up to go get some food from the nearby stream when this big thunderstorm made him get lost. Bear ended up far from his home and there were animals he’s never seen before. They were bigger, meaner, and stronger. A rhino came up to him and asked why was he there. Bear told him what happened and the rhino said “Follow me my friend, I will take you back to the mountains.” So Bear started to follow him. He asked the rhino what’s his name and the rhino said, ”Just call me Rhino.”…
I approached the bull in his blind spot and slowly grabbed my rope to take it off. The bull planted both front feet and kicked me square in the thigh. I have never felt such a sharp pain in my life. Tears rolled off my face and I swore that dirty bugger just broke my leg. I managed to get back on my horse and caught two heals so we could knock him down and tie the big beast up. It took me many years to realize why I should have listened to my boss and only dally one two feet.…

After three days of staying in Alcove Springs fully rested we set off for Fort Kearney. We were moving along platte river for five days everything fine and dandy until I hit a giant rock with my wagon which sent half our stuff in the wagon flying with a big, "clash". I first checked to see if my family was alright, which they were and then I saw the cat who got his tail half chopped of by the trunk crushing it. I decided to chop off the half of the tail that was crushed. As for the wagon, it was just a broken tire. I was lucky another person on the wagon train had a spare I told them I'd pay them…
It all started when our neighbor, Mrs. Longbottom, asked Jimmy, Peter, and me to babysit her pet gorilla. Ms. Longbottom had an immense amount of wild animals, including tigers, lions, and elephants. One night, we went over to the Longbottom's house. It was old and rustic. When I looked in the backyard, I saw a big hole in the ground. It was about thirty feet deep. I looked around for Howie. Then I heard a big roar. It was coming from upstairs. I went upstairs, and it was a mess.…
One Halloween night the critters in the night We’re having a Halloween party, without bear. They did not like bear because they thought he was very mean and rough. But bear was only 1 year old and had no mom or dad, so he had to get his own food and live with no one to love him. He only ate a little bit of honey every day. He lived in a small hole in a tree that he was getting to big for. Every Halloween he was not invited to the Halloween party and he was very sad. They put the…
Well my brothers and I ate our way through the jungle scaring every animal we encountered. The animals ran in the hundreds, running like they all lost their minds. Some animals didn't make it out, I saw my brothers eat a whole pampas stag under 6 minutes, it was covered in ants. At one point it didn't even look like…
I was as squished as a sardine in the tree stand with my dad. It was about 5:00 P.M. on the last day of my first youth hunt. It was a fairly cold evening, and I was starting to lose hope.…
"Hey! Here she comes!" All the sudden the deer pops out of seemingly nowhere. She darts across the empty soy bean field in front of me. I raise my gun and prepare to take the shot.…
