Hunting

Author’s Note: Hunting is a good way to sit back, relax and enjoy nature

            When I first went hunting I didn’t know much of what I was doing and I even brought a book up!  Most of the time I was either sleeping or reading.  Now I know what hunting is really like and it is one of my favorite hobbies.  I learned that it is not good to sleep because then you miss all the deer.  This year I went up hunting in a place called Lynne, which is near Minaquea.  I didn’t see anything but I was mostly doing the drives.  A drive is something where there are post’s and driver’s.  This is one of the most effective ways of hunting.  What happens is you get people to stay in one area and then the drivers push the deer towards the post’s.  The only deer I saw this year was a medium sized doe with 10 minutes left in the day.  I thought I could shoot it but my dad told me it was a bad shot so I listened to him and didn’t take the shot.  One important lesson is that hunting is not about shooting things but hanging out with friends and family.
