Hunt Story

On Saturday the 14th, my dad and I went to the stand we call Microbrust. We saw about 20 does and a couple of little bucks. The bucks were chasing does and does were running off other does. That went on for a while. The next morning, Sunday the 15th, we went back. We woke up later than we wanted to. When we got in our box stand and were ready for a great hunt, only 5 minutes went by into the hunt when he came out. My dad said over and over ''Buck, buck, buck.'' I got my gun but my dad said to get his 30-06, and I did. Then, when I got on him, my dad said ''How many points!'' I said ''8'', but he was 1 more, a big 9 point. I took it off safety then BANG I shot him. He ran like he was coming to us then he took a left and dropped right in front of us. I had shot my first buck. Oh yeah, the gun did not kick either 🙂
