It was a semi cool morning on November 17, 2012 in Kadoka South Dakota. It was the second day of the hunt; we’re scheduled to leave .With breakfast in hand, a honey bun and chocolate milk, we left the gas station. We hopped on the interstate, to go to the other side of the county to walk the first area of the day. We hadn’t seen a deer yet and we were ready to hunt.
Dan Severson turned around in the ditch of the interstate, and got out and sprinted across to the other side. We had to cross one fence right away. Then the waiting started because Dan and Darin Beck had to go to the other side of the area we were walking. They had to go the long and windy way, which was the only way. The wait felt forever to a 12 year old who wanted to hunt, but …show more content…
It would then be on private land where we can’t hunt. Instead, it turned and ran right out in front of me. I still had a challenge because the deer was running at full speed, by the way if you don’t know they can run up to forty-five miles per hour. I then shot at it, just realizing it was a buck. I thought it was a doe when it was running through the trees. The horns were in the trees. I hit it in the back right knee. I then shot again missing.
The coolest sound I have ever heard in my life was when I heard the bullet fly over me, and then the deer finally the deer dropped. I then realized that it was Brian that shot. I then looked at the deer, then back Brian, then back at the deer. I did that several more times. He finally got the deer down with a shoot that was 500 plus yards away. I then ran up to my deer. At first I thought it only had horns on one side, but the grass was covering them on one side.
I finally got the biggest, the best, and first deer of my life, which so happens that it is the biggest deer to date that I’ve shot. It is a 4 by 7, a big 11 pointer. This was a great memory and experience I got to spend with my dad, Brian, Dan and Darin. That is the story of my first
