Hunt PA

My name is Corey Staples and I am 12 years old, I live in Adams County PA. I took my hunters safety course in the summer and starting shooting my bow. And by the first day you can tell I was ready.

My grandfather had been seeing deer in his backyard for a while, and my dad and I put up a treestand down wind of the opening they were using. On oct. 5 my dad and I got up and went out early in the morning and didn't see anything so we went home and got some lunch and went back out that evening, I sat in the portable where I said we put it and my dad sat at about 200 yds away behind me, and my uncle "deershed' sat at 100 yds. directly to my left. At about 6:45 I saw the legs come out of the woods ahead of me about 200 yds and I watched them eat apples off the apples trees for about 5 minutes, then before you know it there were two amazing bucks standing only about 25 yards from me. They stopped and I drew back and hit the six point under the lungs and they ran over to my uncle "deershed" and he saw my six point drop in the corn.
