My First Deer Hunting

It was opening day for deer hunting, 5:00 AM, I just woke up. I was getting ready to go out putting everything go out and I just had a feeling, similar to the one that professional athletes have before a game. It was my third year hunting and spent so many days sitting and waiting and I knew that I would get my chance to shoot a deer. When I got to the my deer stand I was so tired, but I was determined to stay up. I knew I couldn’t go take a nap and miss the chance to shoot my first deer. Before I went my dad reminded me, “You have to be very quiet while you’re out there, in the woods so that you don’t scare the deer away,” and then he joked, “never mind make noise so that they come towards me.”
I sat up in the deer stand waiting and waiting
The dog would always come over and scare some small animals and my dad was always worried that the dog would scare large animals like deer. So when I heard a second noise and saw a small four legged figure appear from the bushes, my first thought was that dumb dog just scared all the deer away. Then the next thing I know I am staring directly at a deer. It was standing perfectly still so I lined up a shot and in between my shaking from nerves I pulled the trigger and took a shot. The loud bang made it run off in the direction it came from. I waited a little bit then I went down to look for it and I was looking everywhere but I couldn’t find a blood trail anywhere so I thought I might have missed it, but then right next to the bushes I saw them. There were a few drops of blood on the ground next to the bushes the deer came from. I felt a sudden urge of excitement. I followed the trail to find my first deer lying dead on the ground and that was the happiest moment of my life. For those of you who have never gone hunting, it is the most thrilling moment you will ever experience there is no feeling like it, and only those who have shot a deer know the adrenaline rush it
