Leaves go from green the summer\u00a0to then steadily morph into red, orange and yellow as fall takes over. They slowly die while floating softly to the ground. As they start to change from color to color and fall, different ages, genders and personalities get ready to battle the woods by playing a little game called hunting. Some women do not like the idea of killing animals, or being out in the cold. While the number of\u00a0women hunters is low, those that do are just as good as male hunters.<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys used to tease me about hunting until they found out how good\u00a0I was,”\u00a0 junior Haley Varner said. “Now, they just take it, like they should.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hunting takes long, vigorous hours and tons of patience. Deer usually come up around sunrise and then again at sunset. A typical day for a hunter is to wake up before the crack of dawn, dressed only in the best orange and camouflage. As they strut to and out the door into the newly crisp air, the games begin; they head out and go into their time-consuming built blind made especially for this hobby and season.<\/p>\n
Once up and set for the hunt, they grab a spot and start by sitting and waiting. \u00a0Many hunters can sense when deer are close.\u00a0Once they see thier first deer, many hunter experience what is called\u00a0\u201cBuck Fever\u201d. The hunter’s heart begins to pound; they can feel a huge rush of adrenaline where it feels like all the blood that\u2019s flowing within their body is on some sort of race.\u00a0 They tense up, and their nerves get to them, but all that goes through their head is to not make a sound. Hunting is said to help people learn a sense of patience.<\/p>\n
\u201cGirls are better than guys at it,\u201d Varner said regarding the skill of patience and hunting.<\/p>\n
Many families depend on deer season as a free meat source, especially considering the economy the population is in.\u00a0For those who aren\u2019t worried they\u00a0simply love to show off that rack and admire the taste.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore girls should get involved in hunting it\u2019s a good experience and a fun way to spend time with others,\u201d Varner said.<\/p>\n
Being one of those hunters who\u00a0is not lucky enough to get one during sunrise, they may head back in around ten. Close to sunset it would be a time for them to go back out in the chilly, stillness of the air and into the thrill. Up in the female hunters\u2019 blind they suddenly see the perfect shot. A buck standing right at their bait, which could be one of many things: corn, beats, or even hay. As they creep steadily into position they begin expereincing the sickness called \u201cBuck Fever.\u201d Then with a slight flinch, their finger tightens and they pull the trigger back letting off a sharp \u201cpew.\u201d The animal drops to the ground sending a wave of leaves in the air. The hunter\u2019s mission has been completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
