Competitions

Since the inventions of weapons there has been competitions to see who is the best of the best. Personally I will shoot against anyone that will challenge me because it's fun. Before I moved here I was involved in 3-D archery shooting competitions. The rules are simple, you have an animal down rang so many yards away from you. The target has  3 or 4 rings around the kill zone all determining a point value, if you hit in or on that ring you receive that particular rings point. I can't remember but, you shoot between 100 and 150 targets. Once you've gone thought the whole course that is set up you turn your points in and they will post your name on a score board so you know how well you did or didn't do.

I have earned many different medals and trophies from all the competitions that I have been to, I have never reach first place the closest that I got was second place. I was disappointed because I lost by 8 points. I will continue to participate in shooting competitions as long as i have the time because it challenging, and you get to be out in the woods for a day and sharpen your killer skills.

Fishing

Fishing is one of the most important things in my life, I go fishing to calm down or to take a break from the world and people.  Its a place where I can just sit there out in the wild and see what happens in the silence. What I enjoy the most about fishing is sitting back in a lawn chair and sippen on a Mickie's. I have been fishing in many places such as Alaska, Cabo, Kona, and all the lakes and rivers that have ever lived close to. The biggest fish that i have ever caught was in Alaska, it was a 98 pound Halibit off the ocean floor. That fish took me about half an hour to forty five minutes. I don't really know what more to say because its simple to do and fun.

camping

There are many different ways to go camping and all are fun. It depends on the type of person and how much they enjoy the outdoors. For examples some take moterhomes or campers, I like to call those the buzz kills. Others bring tents or at least a bed roll, I refer to them as the game changers. lastly the point of camping that I enjoyed the most is going with nothing but, the things you need some food, fresh water, chew and some way to make fire. I will never take a moterhome or camper, I mostly take a tent or sleep under the stars but the most fun I had was a canoe trip that I took with my dad and little brother.

The canoe trip that i took was two weeks in a circuit of lakes called Bowron up in Canada. We didn"t take muck we each had a backpack with a little food and tablets to snitize the water so we could drinck it. Most of the trip was was fun and we caught a lot of fish but, the turning point of that trip was when my dad tiped the canoe over into 50 degree water. He had a huge fish on his line and when he tryed to get it on the boat he stood up and fell into the water. looking back on it the thing that I would change is telling him not to get back in the boat because when he did that it put my little brother and
I into the water with him... I do enjoy that type of camping the most but, it can wear you out fast.

First time hunting

There was no better experience in my life than the first time that I went hunting. Hunting takes a lot of work, but it can be a pain to find the particular animal you are hunting for. To some people it is not worth the time and effort, and others are tree huggers who don't realize the major importance of hunting. As for the rest of us wile you are lining up your shot you understand the miracle of life, and how it could be taken away faster than it was given. The first time that you go hunting and bag an animal you will feel an excitement that you will never feel again, even now that i have hunted for years and bagged many animals there was nothing like my first hunting trip and my first kill.
I was 12 years old when I went hunting for the first time, I was huntung for a deer on Buckskin Mountain in Nevada. I went up with my dad and grandparents witch was good family bonding time. we hunted the whole season and found nothing. we headed home empty handed, my dad and I talked and decided to go up for the last weekend. we camped next to a creek and in the morrning as we walked over the first ridge we saw a herd of doe. Since  that was the only thing that we have seen i took the shot...
