Hunting!

So I finally went hunting for the first time in my life. now i know your probably all thinking, "what?? Hes never hunted before in his life??!" Yes I know I have lived in Ohio most of my life and I was raised in a family that hunts a lot, but alas, this was my first time.

So how was it? It was very nice. I went with my father-in-law in carrolton (spelling?). It was kind of interesting at first I was thinking that we would be togeather all day hunting side by side. But the first thing we did was split up. So I was on my own. So many thing were going through my mind like,
I wonder just how quiet I need to be?
should I walk right through the middle of this field or sneak around the edge?
Uh oh, these boots are NOT water proof.
Finally I saw a squirrel. I was standing in one place being very quiet when suddenly it came walking along searching the ground for food. I stood as quietly as I could and it came within a few feet of where I was standing. eventually it went on its way and I continued on. I finally did see some deer but I didn't shoot. I dont know if I was just too new or if I just didn't want to kill the beautiful things. all in all it was a very enjoyable day with several amusing little misshaps including making the dumb decision to try to walk through a thorn patch. Also there was the psych out moment when I thought I saw a deer laying down in some tall weeds but it turned out to be an old rusty oil drum. Do any of you have a funny hunting story? let me now!
