Hunting

Just think getting away from school, enjoying the great outdoors, having a great time with family, brisk air and snow on the ground,  how can you go wrong, that is why I love hunting season.

Hunting Season is one of my favorite times of year because I get to just have fun. You're probably wondering how can it be fun if you're just sitting in a cold stand all day doing nothing. Well if you don't see anything it isn't as fun but when I come in from my stand I get to hang out with my cousins and uncles who hunt too. I get to stay up as late as I want which can be good or bad (I have to wake up early to get to the stand.) Also I get to drive ATVs and I drank so much soda.  That part is the out of the stand but it adds a lot to the experience.

Though that stuff is fun the greatest part of deer hunting is when deer come into your stand. The adrenaline kicks in once that buck comes walking in after a doe, he pauses the perfect shot you aim and BANG! That's what it was like for me, I got my first buck this year I actually got two bucks this year. The first was a spike and there was no snow so it was hard to drag especially because we were in an wooded area that had been partially logged. My dad and I got it out after a while but we were both sweating a ton, even though it was cold out. We brought the deer back to the camp and headed back out after eating lunch (by the way I shot it at around 9:00AM) That night we stayed up pretty late so we slept in a little in the morning, we got to the stand at 7:30 and shot the five-pointer at 7:55. The night before it snowed a foot and with the snow it made it a ton easier to drag so I was able to drag it most of the way. We went back again and stayed at the camp for a while and took a nap, we ended up going back into the stand and saw some more does in the afternoon. Monday we sat for a little bit but had to go to town to register our deer. We got back and started doing some packing because we had to leave Tuesday, that was basically the rest of our trip.

Like I said before I love hunting season and I was so happy to get two deer. Oh and I forgot to tell you my 10 year old cousin Paige shot a spike her first deer. It was a great season and I probably won't get deer every year but It is still really fun. Also if you guys get the chance to hunt you should take it unless it's not your thing but you never know unless you try.

Hunger Games

I just started the Hunger Games yesterday and it is really good. Suzanne Collins has great description and even though I'm not very far in the book I can tell it's going be amazing once I get farther into it. Where I'm at the Main character is in the woods with a guy named Gale and they are eating cheese and bread. They live in a place nicknamed the seam. There is little food so the MC has to hunt in the woods just outside the city which in the Seam is illegal but they have to do it for food. That's all I have for now there will be more updates coming.
