User:Tay Hunt

I am Tay Hunt and I am a 15 year old professional hunter from Georgia. I have been hunting since I was 6 years old. I remember my very first hunt when my dad and I were sitting behind a fallen tree at 5 in the morning with scorpions and spiders crawling on our boots when suddenly I heard crunching and I turned my head and saw something small and fluffy and I wasn't able to make out what it was because it was to far away from us. As it got closer I whispered to my dad "there is a bobcat over there" and my dad looks through his gun scope and says "Tay that is a coyote." I felt 10 inches tall because I just got told that I called a bobcat a coyote and I read books about hunting and it didn't make sense to me at the time but I eventually got over it because the coyote was to far away for me to make out what it was. There is more to hunting than just shooting something. Hunting is when you feel the adrenaline in your body and you can't stop shaking and you can't control your breathing and you just have to deal with it. I am thankful to have started hunting at a young age and for all of the animals that I have harvested with my bow and I am extremely thankful for my family.
