My First Deer It was the Friday before the opening of bow season in September 2010. I can clearly remember sitting in school on that Friday afternoon, daydreaming about deer and the woods. I waiting impatiently for school to end so I could get my camo, deer stand, and bow ready for the next morning. My dad and I woke up early on that Saturday morning. It was a chilly as I sat in my deer stand, but the forest was alive with activity, the birds were chirping a tune, the squirrels were running along the tree branches, and the breeze blew through the tree branches, making a calming sound. As the day wore on not a single deer had walked close enough for me too get off a shot. As it neared lunch time I packed up my hunting gear and headed back …show more content…
In my tree stand I tried to sit as still, but being a ten year old sitting for that long is a trial. I can for some reason vividly remember how the leaves on some trees were a deep green and how the leaves on the quaking aspen, and sugar maples were bright yellow and orange. It was nearing six o'clock and my mind had wandered off into another world a long time ago, of a sudden a crack too my left startled me out of my day dreams, instantly alert I looked around but did not see anything due to the thick brush too my left. Slowly i stood up so if the chance came i could have the best shot possible. I waited for five minutes, then out of the corner of my eye i caught movement. A buck was just coming around the trees and up the trail. I waited patiently, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I let it go behind a small patch of trees so it wouldn't notice me when i drew my bow. I drew my bow shaking with buck fever, the buck walked into my shooting lane, I tried to calm my breathing and take aim, twack i released my arrow, by a miracle it seemed, my arrow hit the buck who took off running at full speed. I sat back in my stand, my whole body shaking. I waited about forty five minutes for the deer to bed down and die. I quickly booked it up too my dad's stand and told him i had gotten a deer. We changed out of our hunting clothes and grabbed
Hey, I didn’t see you there, how are you?I'm just wondering whether or not a big ol' grizzly bear is going to come charging at me at any point in my life, but seeing as grizzly bears are endangered that probably won't happen. In the past, there were thought to be around 50,000 grizzly bears in North America, nowadays they are growing sparse there are estimated to be only around 1800, now not even a 20th of the population in the past. Most of these grizzlies are located in Yellowstone National Park and Alaska, but they can also be found in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Montana. Some are thought to be in Washington.
In 1989, there were 12,152 deer-vehicle accidents in the USA in which four people died and over 450 people were injured (7). What humans do not realize is the damage deer are causing to their environment, the human population, and themselves. Until a decision is reached regarding deer population control, the present state of overpopulation will continue to affect humans and the environment alike.
Many people in Mississippi enjoy deer hunting. Out of all the people in Mississippi that hunt, only a select few of them prefer to bow hunt. Bow hunting is more challenging than gun hunting because there are many things that have to happen before a deer will come into range for a bowshot. Bow hunters find it more enjoyable when they harvest a deer with a bow. This being said, there is only a certain time of deer season when it is legal to hunt with a bow. From October 15th until November 21st and then once more from January 1st to January 22nd, 1 out of a 5 month, there is a short amount of time to harvest a deer with a bow. Bow hunting is only allowed for a small portion of the hunting season; bow hunting should be permitted for the entire season because it offers more options, it is more enjoyable, and it is cheaper.
Thankfully, I had been able to keep myself spoiler free as it relates to “The Deer Hunter.” For a movie with this reputation and fame, I was quite proud of the fact that I hardly knew what it was about, how it ended or even how its famous Russian roulette scene climaxes. I was excited to finally see this movie, in small part because it was the last film I needed to see to have watched every best picture winner from the 1970s. But, to put it bluntly, “The Deer Hunter” disappointed me.
They are the cause of extreme destruction of property, deadly traffic collisions, costly theft, and even jaywalking. This is not the rap sheet of a vicious new gang, but instead a different menace to society. The white-tailed deer, or Odocoileus virginianus has been causing issues in Newark Ohio, and all across the United States for years. With millions of automotive collisions, and billions in damages annually, we need to discuss deer overpopulation and pursue immunocontraception as a solution to this issue. Immunocontraception is humane, cost-effective, innocuous, benign to the public, and preeminently, effective.
The deer population has seen a dramatic increase since the late 1800s. Before that time, the deer census had been threatened. In the 1900s the deer population rebounded from about 20,000 to more than 1 million. This drastic increase can be attributed to changes in habitat, including reverting abandoned farm fields to forests, and migrations in human population to rural and suburban areas. Both of these progressions created open and forested habitats preferred by deer. In addition, landowners have excluded hunters out of many areas, subsequently, deer populations have increased. “Although the recovery of deer populations from only about 500,000 nationwide in the early 1900s to more than 15 million today is considered a wildlife management
The hardest part of hunting may be waiting what seems to be an eternity until the start of the season. While I wait, I have many things to do in preparation for the hunt. The first thing that needs done is scouting for stomped down popular deer trails that are little more than narrow paths of mud and feces. The next step requires carrying a heavy metal stand through thick briars
It was Friday morning, November 11, and I was in one of my most favorite places in the world, a tree stand. It was a very cold, clear and beautiful morning. The sun was peeking over the trees, the birds where singing, the squirrels where looking for their breakfast and a slight rustle in the leaves told me a deer was not far away.
There is on time that I will never forget. It was early in the morning, I was running behind about 15 minutes, so by the time I got out in the woods it was legal shooting hours. Theirs a spot on the side of the road where corn is stored by Game Fish and Parks. I had seen deer their before so I drove be before hiking in to my stand. Standing 40 yards is probably the biggest buck I have ever seen on public hunting grounds. I jumped out of my truck and pulled up on him. Now my bow has three sights on it. They are set at ten yards, 20 yards, and 30 yards. The deer being at 40 yards I was a little unsure if I could hit him. I had shot at 40 yards before so I roughly knew I had to use my 30 yard sight and aim around 2.5 to 3 feet above the buck. By the time I had all this calculated the buck didn’t want to stick around any longer so he ran off. It had just snowed the night before so it was easy for me to follow him. I followed him for about a mile the he jumped the fence onto private land ending the hunt. I still have yet to see him again. Most hunters that I know that both bow and rifle hunt feel the same
It was a chilly, wind gusting day. Sitting in the dark waiting for the thrill of a lifetime to arrive. I can hear something crunching the leaves, walking right down the steep hillside. All I can think about is the deer that could be heading my way. That was the moment before the big buck, it was exhilarating to me because of my family tradition, the thrill of the hunt, and the reward I was about to take.
It was a beautiful October afternoon as I climbed to the top of my tree stand. The sun was shining, and a slight breeze was blowing from the northwest. I knew that the deer frequented the area around my stand since my step-dad had shot a nice doe two days earlier from the same stand, and signs of deer were everywhere in the area. I had been sitting for close to two hours when I decided to stand up and stretch my legs as well as smoke a cigarette.
of the deer, getting the privilege to hunt can increase a person’s knowledge of the outdoors. Even if a hunter does not produce a kill it is still such a breath taking experience just getting to be in
The last dynasty of China, Qing, was exemplified by administrative prowess and continued the operation of a centralized government. Specialists in the palace workshops produced luxury objects for the imperial court. The Vase of the “Hundred Deer” is one kind of the most lavish porcelain produced for the court in the Qing dynasty, which have superior quality compared to other porcelain of the time. For many years, this kind of vase has been considered as rare famille rose porcelain and once had become fairly popular during the Qianlong Period. The delicate workmanship and the beautiful meaning behind this piece become the reason why I chose it. The Qianlong Emperor had been keen on these vases not just because of their exquisite workmanship,
There are many reasons why people enjoy conservation hunting but what they do not know is how that type of aggressive behavior will affect them and how they will treat other human beings. Many people hunt and fish for survival, which sometimes can make sense why humans might see a person killing a deer since our bodies need meat and fats to function in society. Although some people kill these poor animals in an inhumane way while others just hunt and kill animals to have a good time. Animals are hunted for fur for people to wear or to display in their homes, and for parts that can be used in creams and makeup-ups. Jed Goodfellow, a lecturer in Animal Law, states that sometimes people have the idea that if they are wearing a real animal's coat
Squinting my eyes to the over bearing light, I sat up in my bed. I could hear the raspy morning voice of my sister telling me to hurry up. The cold wood floor sent chills all over my body as I started to get dressed and it slowed me down. I wanted to get back into my warm pajamas and crawl into my flannel sheets and sleep the day away but to my dismay I left to gather our stuff. Getting out the deer blind, that was covered in spiders and their webs, put us a little behind schedule. When we finally got over the hill and to the spot we had scouted out the day before, we started to set up. We chose a spot that was like a valley, where four hills surrounded a strip of flat land. The hills made a good barrier from the direct cold wind and we only felt a
