I have, and it is really fun. Hunting requires patience, skill, and accuracy. Hunting can be challenging, but at least you can get a ton of meat, or if it is good, you can taxidermatize it. I go hunting with my Pepaw, and I thank him so much for taking me.
Let me tell you a story about hunting. It was a couple of months ago, and I was deer hunting. I climbed into my stand to find several wasps sitting around our seats. ”Oh no” I said while jumping down the ladder. “What?” my Pepaw asked. “There’s wasps up there,” I said. ”It’s fine,” my Pepaw said. So we went up there, took off our hats, and beat the heck out of wasps for hours. In the process, a yellow jacket stung me, and I told my Pepaw something got me. It didn’t hurt, but it surprised me. Everyone on the property saw a little 8 pointer but us [probably because of the wasps].
It was about 70 degrees outside in November. I love hunting for many reasons, but the best reason I go hunting is to spend time with the best grandpa in the world, my Pepaw. I would recommend using a 30-30, a 30-06, or a compound bow [If you don’t want to give the deer a chance, use a 45-70]. Hunting can be annoying sometimes, but that’s because of having to sit in a stand for hours without seeing anything. Hunting brings me joy because I can shoot really big deer, get a lot of deer meat from it, and spend time with one of my favorite people.
