I can remember the time that I shot my first deer like it was yesterday. I have never really been a big deer hunter until this past season. My dad had left me at our farm all by myself and he was going to come later. I got in the woods around 3:00 to 3:30. I sat it the stand for about a while and it was getting cold. I was wishing that I had brought my 22 rifle because I saw about 6 squirrels. I did not think that I was going to see a deer but I was wrong. Before the deer came along one of the squirrels ran up my tree stand and I could have probably kicked it if I wanted. It was getting dark when I heard my dad shoot. I waited a little bit longer and then I saw three doe. I wanted to shoot a buck so I let them pass. Then I knew that I probably
After an hour and forty five minute drive I was home. I still had over two hours of prime hunting left. I saw several deer that afternoon but they were all too far away for a shot. Just before dark I had a doe come in to about 125 yards away. Knowing that there was little chance that I could hit the deer I took a shot. Sure enough It was a clean miss. Disappointed I hopped back in my car and headed back to East Lansing. The next day I got up at five in the morning and headed to Muskegon. The next Tuesday my roommate and I decided to try are luck again. My roommate and I went to high school together and we had always been hunting partners. I had a class at one o'clock that day so we could only hunt till eleven that morning. We were in the field a half hour before light. I was optimistic that I could get a descent shot off that morning.
Imagine the biggest deer of our life walking in front of us. The thing is so big that at first glance you didn’t even think it was a deer. That is what the Zellmer deer camp is all about. The deer camp was started seven and a half decades ago by my grandfather’s grandfather.
I shot my first deer when I was in third grade. I caught a whiff of a skunk and at that time I glanced at the deer to see if it was still there. I grabbed the gun and pulled the trigger down went the deer.^
The first time I ever shot a deer was back in 2011. I was in 5th grade. This was not the first time I had gone out hunting, just the first time I ever went out to shoot a deer. It was a fairly warm fall day and my mom took me out with her to the new hunting shack my dad just built. It is a very sturdy shack made with wood that blends into the trees around it. It sits in our tree line viewing our hay field with woods all around the field. The smell of fall, decaying leaves dying grass hung in the air heavily. My mom told me to not expect to shoot anything my first time out. We waited out for a few hours before we started to see anything but everything we saw was too far away to get a shot at. We waited probably another half
When we got there it was 6:00 o’clock perfect time to get there. Me and my stepdad had a conversation what to do if we saw a deer just remind me what to do if I saw one. After about 30-45 minutes after the sun rise the deer movement starting picking up. At first a doe here and doe there then out of nowhere a majestic 8 point popped out.
I couldn’t believe how it happened It was so exciting. It all started when me and my dad got all of our hunting stuff around and put in the truck. Then we headed to hunting property and when we get to hunting spot I get out of the truck nice and quietly and me and my dad get our stuff on then I get the gun out of the case and load the gun and then we quietly walk out to your blind when we get into the stand of course my dad sites in the chair and the chair makes a big “ POP” and I thought for sure that if there was any deer even close to us at all we just scared them.
One day, a few people named Lei, Logan, Bob, Billy, Gary, and Brogan went on a big hunting trip for three days. They grabbed their guns and went out the door.
One day I had an idea and then I asked him “Dad would you like to go hunting?He said” sure son” but then the wind speed kicked up things started to fall.So we hurried and flew out the door and got in the car, and went up north. But when everything was going right the car tire popped and we ran out of gas so we had to push the car. Then we finally got our tire fixed and all juiced up and back on the road. And when we were going to a place to hunt people were already there.
One late afternoon my dad asked me if I wanted to go hunting.And I was like yeah why not so we come to the house and got our hunting stuff ready for the morning.Then we woke up at five o'clock and went to my tower stand and all I saw was squirrels.Finally I heard some crackling and popping sounds of something it was an eight point buck.Then I tapped on my dad's shoulder and said look , I waited and I thought he is in drop zone so I shot and he ran about one hundred seventy five yards to a complete stop.Therefore we waited on another one but , that didn’t work so we went to my deer and he was still alive so I got my dad’s pistol and shot him because I didn’t want him to run off.
It was June 9 2010. This day was a ordinary day for most, but not for me. For me it was the first step to becoming a Eagle. June ninth was my first day of Cub Scouts. At five thirty in the afternoon, me and my dad finished eating dinner I went back to my room to put on my freshly dry cleaned uniform, which gave me a feeling of joy. Me and my dad both got into the car and off we went to my first Cub Scout Meeting. The meetings were held a Sandburg Elementary and I was joining Troop 1209. At the meeting, I was introduced to the entire pack. Then i was assigned to Den 12 or the Phoenixes. The most important people in my life at that moment was my dad and Den 12 because they helped get though so much as a Cub Scout.
So then we started walking it took us an hour to get to our stands once we got there it was about 7:30 am so we sat down, and waited to see if any deer would come without being called. So we sat there for thirty minutes, and nothing showed up. With us being thirty minutes into our hunt, we decided to get out our call bag. My dad, and I started calling, and waited after ten minute a whole bunch of deer started running, and they were being chased by a pack of five coyotes so we grabbed our shotguns , and took the coyotes out. Once the coyotes were down went a 100-300 yards out from our stands so we had to call them back since they were so far out, so my dad grabbed the call bag and started calling, and after twenty minutes of calling a huge 12 point buck came out of the brush. So I told my dad to do a snort and wheeze so my dad
I grew up as a watcher. I learned to watch the weather, the environment, and the people around me. I’ve gathered so much information in my mind on people's behavior and how they act out in this world just by sitting back, being silent, and taking it all in. With my experiences hiking at Hocking Hills, I have realized there are experienced hikers, non-outdoorsmen, and the annoying families.
The summer of my junior, my friend Brandon went to Big Bear. He was there for a week and said “I got something for you”. He refused to tell me what it was no matter how much I insisted. My first thought was that he was going to be the goofball that he is and say he brought me snow. When he finally got back and we both entered our summer class he showed me. In slow motion I could see what he had in his backpack. It was a coca cola bottle, but as I turned it I realized that it had my name on it. I have always told him that merchandise with names on it usually never have my name. It was such a simple gift yet so thoughtful.It meant a lot to me because something so small made me smile. It meaningful because it was a surprise but not one I expected

Question: Do you know what 15 seconds of fame means, well I know what it meant and I had my 15 seconds of fame during one of my first fishing experience. Another thing is We’ve been fishing for like 2-3 hours because I didn’t know the rules which took 1 hour to learn and for myself to demonstrate. To be honest it was fun and a cool somewhat family bonding time.
