M y First W eak of H unting One day on a hot afternoon I was sitting on my front porch all alone hav ing nothing to do when my father came out o f the house. He was wearing his hunting clothes, and at that exact moment I knew where he was going, so 1 asked him if 1 could go with him and he said no, until I said I ’ll wash the dishes for a week and he said OK. So he got his two rifles and ammunition and we were on our way to the big woods. On our way out there on the other side of the road I saw a deer feeding its young on a berry bush. Then in a nearby tree 1 saw a squirrel eating a peanut, the same body dropped while passing by. I knew we were going to have lots o f fun and do a lot of things when we got out there. I saw all kinds of animals, such as a bear, a deer, a snake, and a bald and golden eagle, that’s when 1 got excited and took o ff my camera and took pictures of all the animals and birds. We arrived there at 6.00 and took out all the hunting equipment. When my father got out the rifle I asked him what are we going to hunt first. And he said, “ we are going to hunt small things first thing go after the big ones.” I was so excited because this was my first time going hunting and being out in the big woods. We got the rifles and bullets and were on our way into the hunting grounds. We got there, we shot a squirrel, a mongoose, and a bagger. It was get ting dark and we started our way back to camp. When we got back my father said we did so good hunt ing, that we were going to stay out there for a week I was very happy and jumped for joy. It was 10:00 when we went to bed and it was very quiet. I could hear the frogs croak and I could listen to the crickets make a lot of noise. It was midnight when I went to sleep but father went to sleep a long time ago. It was morn ing and a beautiful day. I knew we were going to do lots of hunting today, so I got up put on my clothes, went outside, washed my face and was ready to go hunting. But my father was still in bed. so 1 got everything ready. 1 fixed breakfast, loaded up the guns. Then, when I saw that pa was still asleep I went for a little walk through the woods. CHILD CARE AVAILABLE . . . Through Individualized Learning Program When I got back I saw pa eating breakfast so I went up there to join him. After eating we started on our way. We were going after the big ones and we had to betvery quiet. The first thing we shot was a male deer, we shot that on the other side of the woods. Then we came upon a mountain lion, I raised my rifle took aim and fired, I got it right in the body. Then after that we went after the biggest one a big black grizzly bear. 1 was very frightened. I had never gone after a bear and shot it. We had been walking for about two hours and we hadn't found any kind of bear yet, so we got tired and took a little rest. We rested for about ten minutes and then we fell asleep. We were asleep for about five minutes when we heard a loud roar. It got closer and closer, when all of a sud den, the biggest and the largest black grizzly bear came roaring and charging out o f the bushes and came at us. M y fath er reached for his gun but he slipped and fell and the bear came at him. 1 was so scared I froze stiff then I saw my gun lying on a small hill. I ran for it and grabbed it. I lifted my gun took aim and fired, I closed my eyes when 1 shot. I opened my eyes and there I saw my father standing next to the bear bending down to see if it was dead and it was. I asked my father if the bear was dead and he said, “ yes son he is dead.” We dragged the bear all the way back to camp. When we got through it was very dark and I had to start a fire. When the fire was red hot pa brought out some hot dogs and some punch. We ate that then sat down around the fire talking about the hunt and how I'd killed the bear. We sat there for about ten minutes and then went to bed. It was Sunday morning and the day we stopped hunting and went fishing. We ate breakfast and after that pa read the Bible to me. W e read the Bible for half an hour and then we had prayer and then after that we went fishing for bass and trout. I caught two trout and a bass and my father caught four bass and three trout. Father caught more because he knew how to catch them with the right bait. After fishing we took a break and ate lunch. After lunch we started on our way back to camp. When we got back there we went into the tent and took a nap because it was a long walk back. ~ . . . Social — Physical — Academic Skills . . . Pre School and Kindergarten . . .
