The Frigid Winter

As the frigid winter bites at my skin, I sit in a metal deer stand praying for the magnificent buck to walk by. Dreams begin to flash by in my mind, making me resign into a deep sleep. The bright sun shining in my eyes slowly awakens me, causing my pupils to shrink to the size of an eraser tip. Slowly creeping out of my chair, I look down at the pasture below me. I spot three beautiful bucks grazing in the morning snow. As I slowly ascend the scope to my eye, I see through it two nubs protruding from the bucks’ head. I realize these bucks are illegal to shoot in the area of which I am hunting in, for they are too young. I impetuously grab my phone out of my pack in an attempt to take a photograph for the camp owner. In a couple of years, these bucks will be fully-grown and legal to shoot. I put my phone back into my pack, and climb down the ladder in agony, for my hands are frostbitten. Retreating down to my four-wheeler, I hear loud gunshots within a three hundred mile radius. I hastily crank up the four-wheeler and floor it through the woods. As I near the cabin, I see two silhouettes of bucks hanging from the skinning rack. As I get closer, I realize the two loud bangs I heard earlier were kill shots on humongous bucks. We will skin these bucks, and have fantastic dinner for days to come.


The author's comments:
This is a writing explaining what it is like to go hunting. Hunting is a much less brutal method of eating. When you buy meat from the grocery, it has most likely been processed. This is often very unhealthy. Also, the animal killed such as cow or venison was most likely brutally killed.
