Today I am turning the blog over to S2 who harvested his first deer EVER today. It’s opening day of Gun Season over here and I asked him to write the story of how the hunt went. Here we go, in a 12 year old’s own words…
Today I shot my first deer. It was a buck.
My Uncle Jeff let me use his land, blind and gun (.30-06). Dad, (S3) and me left the house at 5:00am. We got up at 4:00am. It was a long hour and half but we go there. I sat in the box blind about 15-20 feet off the ground.
Ok, I was really nervous. I got in the blind at 6:53 am. Shooting hours stared at 7:03am. I sat there and at 7:09am a doe ran in front of me. I was mad I didn’t shoot it but 10 minutes later a deer came in with a limp. I sat and watched. It’s head was behind a tree. It walked. It was five yards away from the bait pile when I saw it, it was a Buck. I brought the .30-06 up and shot him right in the heart. He jumped up and kicked and fell down. I took the safety off fire and yelled “YEAAA, I SHOT A BUCK!” Dad and (S3) were about happier than me. It turns out the Buck got hit by a car a few days/weeks ago. I was so happy. I brought it to my uncles and showed it to him. He was proud of me. I am very happy of what I got on November 15, 2014.
