First Time Hunting

by Aaron Conklin

My dad and me

got out of the truck

he took his rifle, out

of the back.

We went to the deer stand.

Got in and used the grunt call.

We sat there for two hours.

Still, still as a rock.

We saw one big doe

that we could not shoot.

It was noon and we were getting

hungry so we went back 

to the truck, loaded the stuff up

and went home without a deer.

I remember.
