Another Deerless Year

I have gone another year without getting a deer. I have gone the last five years without claiming a deer as my own. I am not an avid hunter but I do enjoy it. For the last five years, I have skipped school, gotten up even earlier than usual, and froze myself to the bone just to get the chance to bring home a deer. I wasn't even picky either. As long as it was bigger than 90-100 lbs. I didn't care if it was a buck or a doe, all I wanted was a deer. In years past, I have only gone out on opening day and maybe one other day for the last four years, but this year I was determined. This would be my last year to go before I went off to college. So of course, I went out opening day. I didn't even see a thing. I was a little frustrated but I was still ok because I still had the rest off the year to try to get myself a deer. But as you can guess, that didn't happen! I went out during firearms season, muzzleloader season. and even extended doe season. I ended up with nothing. But I still give God the glory for even letting me be able to go out and enjoy his beautiful creation!
