The first deer I shot was a little tramatic for me. You see my dad had to threaten me with a beating to make me sit still long enough. all Season long I would sit for about 20 minutes and think I had been sitting forever. I'd climb down go tromping through the woods toward My fathers stand. I'd show up and he'd be pissed.

"What in the world are you doing walking around at 7:30 am? You fool this is the best time to be hunting!"

"Well, I thought that I should come see if you had got one!"

thats how it went for the whole season. Untill the last day, Dad sat me down and told me that if I got out of the stand before he came back to get me that He would not only beat me until I couldn't still down, but I wouldn't be allowed to hunt next year.

So there I sit sniffling, Thinking:
" 'he was the biggest jerk ever created. Time crept by, It seemed like days and weeks I sat in that stand. I just Knew dad had left the country and wasn't coming back. If he was coming back for me he would have been here by now. It had to be after noon. OH he's lost his mind and abandoned me for sure."

'Wait, whats that sound! It sounds like someone's tromping through the woods to me. Dad has finally returned, No its a deer...... A huge deer. Better shoot this is the world's record deer for sure......BANG Down flops The world's record single spike. No not your everyday ordinary spike with one on both sides, but a truely original monster spike with only One 4 inch spike. shortly after Dad finally showed up after walking to my stand when he heard the shot. I grabbed his arm and looked at the watch and it was 9:15 am. OBTW I was 12.
