Larry Newton School – 6th Grade – Mrs. Clinton

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: left;">I wake up to the sound of pots and pans being nocked into each other. I sit up to see my uncle and dad making coffee in the kitchen. I got out of bed and walked over to them. They asked me if I wanted to go hunting and of course I said yes. First I put on my thick socks, long johns, cameo pants, long sleeve shirt, and a cameo jacket. My cousin was sleeping so we took his gun because it would be easier for me to shoot with. As we walked out the door I felt the cold breeze hit my face and I shivered in my layers of cloths. We went to the rover my uncle was telling my dad and I were we were going to hunt. He said we were going to hunt at the number 2 plot and I’m glad he picked that spot. As soon as my uncle stopped the rover the walking started it was still dark so it was hard to see the road so I fell in a hole in the middle of the road, and busted a cut on my knee open, but it was fine.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: left;">As soon as we got in the stand, I fell asleep. I was tired. I woke up half an hour later and sat up in the chair and looked on the plot, but nothing was there. I went back to sleep and woke up an hour later. My dad said that we were about to leave when I sat up in the chair and saw something brown in the field. I quickly told my dad that there was a deer in the field. He leaned forward and looked. He said, “Let me make sure it’s a doe.” He looked through his binoculars and said that it was a doe, and I could shoot it.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: left;">I put my earmuffs on, so the gunshot wouldn’t hurt my ears. I brought the gun up slowly, and I looked through the scope and saw the deer. I put the crosshairs behind the shoulder, in fact, a little bit too far. I squeezed the trigger, but nothing happened. I told my dad it wasn’t working. He told me to take the safety off, but I had never used that gun before, so I didn’t know were the safety was. My dad clicked it off for me, and I put the crosshairs behind my shoulder. Again, I squeezed the trigger. Boom! A puff of white hair rose up from the gun. I knew I had hit the deer. My dad texted my uncle and told him that I had shot a deer. He drove up in the Rover and said, “Good job Brodie.”

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: left;">We walked over to the spot were the deer was standing when I shot it. There was some blood on the ground. My uncle started following the blood trail, and suddenly he stopped and said, “Here it is.”

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: left;">I tried to drag the still deer, but I couldn’t do it. My dad had to do it for me. We got back to the camp, and I jumped out of the Rover. I woke up my cousin and told him, “I just shot my first deer!”
