...Good Deer English November 22, 2011 Deer hunting is a very demanding hobby. The one thing that everyone must keep in mind when hunting is your safety and the safety of others. The reason for this is that you are using a weapon that can cause serious harm to you or someone, but this is not what this essay is about. I want everyone to actually learn what it takes to be a hunter. Being a hunter takes skill and understanding how deer sense things. The first thing that comes to everyone’s mind when thinking about hunting is killing Bambie. This is not the way I think, because of how I was raised. I took up hunting at an early age. I would always go with my father. So, here is what I have learned about hunting deer. You, as a hunter have got to know where the deer are. This is the easy part. Just find some good land with a water source, and good food that they eat i.e. acorns, wild persimmons trees, apples trees, corn, clover, and winter rye. Scout the land after locating these, to see if you can find there bedding areas. Finding the bedding area is the hard part. Deer in general will bed down in areas where they feel protected. Like in open areas surrounded by thick brush, or in low lying areas. After finding these good spots look for trails leading to their food, and water sources. These trails are what will make you or break you when it comes time to kill that big buck. The trail usually will lead to natural pinch points in the land. This is where you want to be hunting at due...

Well whenever you think about it, you should take this into consideration, the tradition of hunting and the management for deer.

...Deer hunting is something that a lot of people like to do. It is a time for guys and gals to relax and listen to the outdoors all around. There are too many deer and too many accidents in the midwest. Deer population could be reduced by having a longer shotgun season, so the population can reduce the vehicle accident cost, medical cost, by establishing new ideas on how motorists can avoid vehicle/deer accidents . In 1997 the Virginia Department Of Transportation recorded around 600 crashes between vehicles and deer. Then in 1998 it jumped up to 4000. insurance and law enforcement officials said the actual car deer collisions could be somewhere between 10 and 20 thousand in the United States. Insurance industry estimates there are half a million car deer accidents annually. The average cost an insurance company pays per claim is 2000. (HUNTING TO SOLUTION THE DEER BOOM PG2) In one year 2012, there were 1.29 million deer car collisions and they cost about $4 billion on car repairs. the average costs for the collisions are around $3,305.

...more enthusiastic about that day then I was until I realize “today is deer hunting day!” I suddenly jump for joy until my dad tells me to be quieter because everyone is asleep. Whoops… I think to myself as I start layering up on clothes. My dad warned me yesterday that it would be cold which I realized but didn't know until I stepped outside. Once I get back in the house I grab a package of fruit snacks and powerade and head to the truck. On the way there I ask, “do you think were going to get a deer?” He replies “ I hope so.” Then that gets me thinking, I wonder if...

...morning my grandpa and I were getting everything ready to go deer hunting. I had to get extra ready because since I am a diabetic I have to get all my emergency gear ready just incase I went into diabetic shock or passed out from low or high blood sugar. After we both got everything ready we waited for my senile uncle and my other uncle to come with us. It took them about two hours to get their equipment ready and we left around 2:00 in the afternoon. While we were on the way out we were seeing big bucks running around chasing the doe’s because it was in the middle of rutting season so the bucks were acting stupid. When we got out there there was nothing out in the field where we set up so we kept going in. There was one buck, but he was small that we scared over the hill, but it wasn’t a problem because he will come back. We waited about four hours later for deer to start coming back into where we were at and while we were waiting I had jacked a shell in the barrel and put the gun on safety. Everybody except me were sitting in the truck and I was outside right next to the truck, I looked at my phone and the time said 6:00 PM so right then and there I knew it was...

...My first deer hunt. I was a young man about 13 years old when I got the opportunity to go deer hunting for the first time. I remember it even though it was long time ago. I remember getting up really early due to the long ride to place where we was going to hunt. It took us approximately an hour to get to our destination. Once we arrived I remember thinking, that we was in the middle of nowhere and I hoped we did not get lost. As a young man you automatically think that you are gonna kill a deer and go home in no time at all. I was bad wrong the first day we did not see a deer at all. I was disappointed like any young person would be. As we all have been young and know that after an hour of sitting outside in the cold, you either are ready...

...9/18/17 This weekend I went deer hunting with my uncle. On Saturday we woke up at four fifteen in the morning and left to go deer hunting. We walked to our spot and sat down next to the tree that worked best to get rid of our scent with the wind. After sitting for about a half an hour I saw a doe pop up and I told my uncle. When he went to look at the doe he spotted another one. The doe my uncle spotted snorted and both of our deer jolted away into the corn. We went again on Sunday night, it was my uncle Chris, my uncle's friend Matt, his son Jake, and I. That night we hadn't been sitting for ten minutes before I turned around and there was a 4-point buck walking in on the same trail my uncle and I walked to our spot on. It was coming down...

...poor will get poorer.” “Deer hunting should be banned because it is an infringement on animal rights.” “War can never be justified.” The first issue is that the reality of business is that the rich will get rich and the poor will get poorer.” The Christian religion feels that God gives you gifts and bless you with money and if God blesses you with money you are commended to help the poor and widows. “Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.” (Matthew 5; 42). This verse for Matthew tells us that we need to help people no matter if God has blessed us with riches. The Muslim faith believes that Allah has blessed some above others with the gifts of riches. "And Allah hath favored some of you above others in provision."(An-Nahl: 71)....

...Florianne At some point in life everyone breaks away from one another. When someone leaves you behind it can create emptiness and loneliness and it will always be easier for some than for others to handle the feelings that can occur. The short story Florianne by Daniel Woodrell is a fascinating story showing, from a father’s perspective, what a father goes through when his daughter becomes a teenager. On the surface Florianne is about a father, Henry, being upset because his daughter, Florianne, is missing. He worries that someone has taken his daughter. Throughout the story he tries to find her and is constantly suspecting everyone around him to have kidnapped her (p.40, l.21). The narrator is being worried about his daughter and blames his surroundings for the loss. In the ending of the story the father recollects the memories of the missing daughter’s mother. The girl’s mother left the father and daughter years ago. The mother gave several reasons for leaving the father, among was that he was too much the same day in and day out: “I was too steady for her taste, too regular, too much the same one day to another.” Irrespective of age almost everyone in some point in life breaks away from someone close to them to form and create their own life. The loss of the narrators daughter begun before she went missing. On page 42 there is a description of his daughters transformation from a girl to a teenager: “That meant so much to her, to finally have a figure clothes looked good...

...evening, I found myself sitting twenty feet up a tree in my hunting stand. I had my PSE spider bow in my hand with an Easton arrow knocked and ready to rock. I was only fourteen years old. My dad was sitting in the tree next to me. There was no sign of deer yet we were just listening to the wind blowing through the trees, and the squirrels rustling below. They were fidgeting around with some of the apples I had put out for the deer. One of the squirrels picked up an apple attempted to climb a tree with it and fell to the ground. I chuckled a little bit. I was focused on the squirrels when my dad leaned over and said “Quit fooling around there is a deer, look to the left”. I glanced left and froze as I stared right at a huge doe. She was walking down the trail right towards me.my heart started to pound faster and faster with every nearing step. I raised my bow when she was about thirty yards away. My heart was pounding. I drew back my bow and took aim. I paused for a second and closed my eyes to take a deep breath and think. “Mitch, wake up your dad is home” my mom said. I raced out the door in my pajamas. I was about six at the time. Sure enough the big green F150 pulled in the driveway, my dad gets out and drops open the tailgate. Lying in the bed was a huge doe. My dad picked me up and set me next to the deer. My mom came out and took a picture of us with his deer. “Dad when is it going to me my turn to go hunting” I said. “Son, when you grow up, I promise” he replied. Age...

...Alexandra Rike Judith Celentano DATE \@ "MMMM d, y" January 28, 2015 Gaining Faith The bell is close to ringing and releasing me for the rest of the day from the most hated place on earth…school. However, today, I wouldn’t mind staying over a few extra minutes to avoid the intense quiz session that is about to take place in my Memi’s car. Last night, I heard my mom on the phone with my Memi telling her all about my new boyfriend, and I’m sure she is just chomping at the bit to know everything about him. I already know what her first question is going to be. “Does he have Jesus in his heart?” I never understood why that was such a big deal to her until now. Throughout my life, my Memi was constantly lecturing my parents for not taking me to church as much as they should, and for not teaching me all about the Bible at a young age. I never understood why she was so obsessed and driven to get me interested in church. I always thought that I would start going to church once I felt like I knew what everyone was talking about, once I could fully understand everything and the hidden meanings. I didn’t think there was a reason for me to go to church until I was older. However, I think that when something major happens and leaves an impact on your life, there is one clear place to run to…God. Things changed for me. Now, I desperately want the bell to ring so that I can go take care of my Memi. I want to be there for her the way she was always there for me, making me smarter...

...was up making breakfast. “What’s for breakfast?” “Egg sandwiches and bacon your favorite.” answered my mom. As I shoved down my favorite breakfast, my dad yelled from his room. “Matt let’s go.” So I quickly finished my plate and I threw into the dishwasher and I was off for the door. I couldn’t see a thing walking out to the garage. I tried finding my boots but my dad already had them in his hand. I hurried to get my boots on and when I got into the truck I could barely breathe. “Where are we going to hunt at dad?” I asked. But as usual my dad answered back. “I don’t know Matt it’s totally up to you.” “But dad you know where the deer are and I don’t.” I answered back. Dad groaned “I don’t know Matt probably at your Uncle Tim’s house down the road.” I loved hunting at his place because it’s so open and there have been huge deer there this year. “OK…” I answered back in my smooth voice. We pulled up to Tim’s house and he was outside feeding the chickens. “Morning Tim.” Dad said. “Morning boys, are you boys going to hunt here this morning?” We both nodded our heads. Then dad began to talk. “Have you been seeing anything lately?” Tim thought for a good 5 minutes. Then he said in his aha voice “Yea,...

...going hunting for deer with her father, father friend (Charlie), and fathers’ friends’ son (Mac). Going to the woods where they are going hunting for deer, Mac takes jabs at Andy about how small she is and how she cannot shoot because she is a girl. Her father sticks up for her and says that she can shoot and that she even has something about her that attracts animals to her so that is good for them. Fast forward towards the end of the story, Andy hears a deer and is given the opportunity to shoot it. Andy then has an internal conflict about whether or not to shoot the deer but does so anyway because of the pressure being out on her and that is where the rite of passage begins. The deer is shot square in the chest by Andy but does not die and runs off immediately and that is where Andy’s’ guilt and regret set in. Later at the campsite she see’s the deer she shot while everyone is sleeping and proceeds to walk up to the deer and touch it where she had shot it in the chest and she feels even worse. Andy doest tell anyone about seeing the deer and just goes back to bed. Later in the day, Andy and the rest go hunting for the deer she had shot the previous day. They find it dead in the woods and Andy’s father takes out his knife and exposed the deer’s underside and Andy takes off running away and that is where the rite of passage came full circle. This rite of passage changed Andy because she was trying to be one of the guys but after actually shooting and killing a deer,...
