Summer
Excitement
This summer I didn't do too many things. But I
did go on a few fishing trips before I started working. Most of the
trips were pretty lame, because I either had no rod or I caught a
very few fish and nothing exciting really went on.
But there was this one trip I went on with
Garrett, Anthony Nick Jr., Greg, Norma and Dan that was pretty
exciting and kept me entertained throughout the trip. On our way up
to Willow Creek, Anthony, Greg and I were shooting at ducks seeing if
we could knock any down with our .22 caliber rifles. When we got to
the spot where Garrett wanted to fish, we all tried fishing. But we
didn't have enough rods, so Anthony, Norma, Gregg and I shared rods.
Norma was the first person to catch a fish. Garrett and Dan hopped
out of the boat to try and catch fish from the bank. Anthony and I
hardly caught any fish so we gave up. Then Greg, Anthony, and I
started shooting at some ducks that landed on the other side of the
slough. We also shot at some ducklings that were swimming around. We
even shot at a swan that was flying high above us. Although none us
hit even a single fowl, it was more fun than wasting our time trying
to catch some lousy fish. After a while we got bored of shooting
ducks, so we started targeting sticks and other things that would
make good targets.
Meanwhile the others were still busy catching
fish and had by now caught a lot of fish. Anthony and I tried a
little fishing again but only caught one each. Then Greg got into the
act and fished near Norma because she was catching all the fish.
Garrett and Dan were doing good also. We had limited gas so we had to
stay in one spot or go to others that weren't too far
away.
Anthony and I got bored of fishing so we sat in
the boat and talked about all kinds of things, including boats, snow
machines, basketball and traveling. When evening came around, Garrett
and the others decided it was time to head home. On our way out we
saw a loon and thought it would be fun to hunt it for a while. After
20 minutes of wasting our shells we took off. At the mouth of one of
the sloughs in Willow we came upon a beaver. We hadn't noticed that
there was another one swimming around. Garrett, Greg, Anthony and I
got our .22's ready and when we saw it swimming we shot at it.
Sometimes it would dive for minutes but we knew where it was by the
direction it dived. It would go upstream and downstream and sometimes
it would swim near the bank to try and sneak away from us. Every time
we shot at the beaver we would come very close to hitting. A couple
of times one of us thought that we'd hit it but then it dove just
before the bullet hit dead center in the head. Once in a while we
would trade .22's.
About half an hour later Garrett gave up
shooting. Greg asked if he could use my .22 rifle and Anthony was
using my pistol. I then asked Garrett if I could use his gun because
it seemed better than my rifle. I told the guys that this time I
would hit the beaver in one shot. As soon as we saw it swimming
towards its house I pulledGarrett's gun into position and with split
second aiming I shot and hit the beaver. I didn't even give Greg and
Anthony time to shoot. Then we zoomed over and got the beaver before
it drowned. As we headed for home I felt that this trip was worth my
time.
