Descriptive EssayHunting SeasonHunting has been a favorite and exciting hobby of mine for about half my life now, andthe excitement never seems to fade away. I hunt for turkey, duck, coyote, raccoon, and othersmall game animals. Out of everything I hunt, deer would have to be at the top of the list for myfavorite. Every opening weekend of deer season, my closest uncle, cousins, and friends, comecamping with my dad and me
at our family’s
farm on Flat Creek outside of a small town calledJenkins. I have looked forward to this weekend trip ever since I started hunting and it hasbecome a tradition every deer season and will be for many to come.The Friday before opening day, and also the day we head down to the creek to set upcamp, I am always itching throughout the day waiting for that last school bell to ring so I canload up and head down. With my bags packed and tags bought, I am as happy as a kid in a candystore, and ready to spend some time with family and friends doing one of my favorite hobbies.
Leaves are changing and there’s
a chill in the air, but we gather around the camp fire reminiscingon what might happen on opening day. The sun sinks slowly below the horizon bringing in thechilly temperatures. My cousin and I know we are going to be cold in our little camper that we
always share. We constantly remind each other that it’s worth it.
Morning can’t com
e soonenough. I crawl out of my brittle bed first thing the next morning and head for the fire to warmup before packing up and heading to the stand.
McCaffrey 2Just before daylight we all load up on four wheelers and trucks, and head to our desiredhunting location. Walking into the dark timber I slowly stumble over logs and rocks trying to bequiet just in case there are deer in the area.
It doesn’t take long for me to realize that it will take a
little longer for it to be light enough to be able to get a shot in the woods than it would in theopen fields. I reach my tree stand and climb up to the top to begin my chilly wait. The sun seemsto rise extremely slow, mainly because I am so anxious for it to shine its light on me to provide alittle more warmth. When the sun reaches above the horizon its beam glares directly in my eyesmaking it difficult to see towards the east for any deer movement. After an hour of sitting, Icontinue scanning the woods all around me with no luck until I see what appears to be a shine inthe distance between two trees. I raise my gun up hoping to have a better view through my scope,and sure enough about 75 yards away I see the sun shining off the fur coat of a good sized deer.When the adrenaline takes over and your nerves begin to cause you to shake it makes it rather
hard to aim at your target. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a doe or a buck I always get the same
nervousness throughout my body, but when I saw the head of this deer pop around the trunk of atree my jaw dropped. This was by far the biggest deer I have encountered in all my ten years of deer hunting. Waiting for him to turn broad side for a clear shot I load a bullet in my .30-06 rifle,take off the safety, aim the cross hairs just behind the front shoulder, and pull the trigger. Theshot rang throughout the hollers and fields as I looked over the end of the barrel to see thisbeautiful animal lay right where he stood.Anxiously, I climb down from my stand and go to get my hands on my first bagged deerof the season. The rack seemed as big as a tree branch on this thing and is even bigger than I had
expected. I couldn’t wait to gut it, throw it on my four

McCaffrey 3my hands and the stinky steam smell rises out of the carcass straight into my face. Finished withgutting my deer, I drag it out of the woods and load it on the racks of my four-wheeler. With abig ego and a grin on my face, I pull into camp earlier than everyone else. Obviously, I was theonly one with a kill so far. I stoked the fire, grabbed a snack, and warmed the coffee whilewaiting on my dad and the others to get back.Pulling down the path was my dad, uncle, and cousin, and when they got out of the pick-up they each had a smile on their face and I knew they were happy for me.
