Deer Season
I work part-time at the local newspaper. It’s a small town, so there are a lot of submitted news that would never cut it in a larger newspaper. I live in the south and it is deer season. We’ve gotten several submissions of first deer kills from young hunters. While deer hunting is not my thing, I am not against it per say but would much rather shoot deer with my camera than with a gun.
Growing up my Dad was never really into hunting nor my brothers. But ever since my brother bought a piece of wooded land he has been an avid hunter. I think partly he just likes getting outside and enjoying nature. He hasn’t had much luck with hunting. This past week his luck changed.
This last hunting trip was finally the one where he killed a deer. It was as almost like the deer wanted to die as the deer stepped out in front of my brother, who was still getting set up for his hunting jaunt. He had been hunting for all of five minutes when he bagged his first deer. I’m not sure when he’s been more proud of himself.
