10 Things to be Happy About Hunting

  1. ย The frosty winds of wild Alaska
  2. The feeling of your heart thumping when you pull back the trigger
  3. The majestic movement of a deer prancing through the chilly autumn wind
  4. The wailing sound of a moose call
  5. A black bear lumbering through Canadian forests
  6. The cracking sound of two bighorn sheep fighting on sheer cliffsides
  7. The silence-shattering elk bugle
  8. The rattling sound of deer fighting
  9. A soaring eagle far above your head
  10. The howling of wolves on a silent night

  1. This is one of my favorite pieces that you’ve written all year, Mountain Man! Wow. The effort you put into your descriptive language really paid off, bringing the wilderness alive in my mind. I loved the words you chose, like “sheer”, “lumbering”, “frosty”, and “silence-shattering”. I can’t wait to read another of your nature pieces soon!

  2. I really love how you described the sights and sounds in your poem.
    I love that picture with the silhouette of that majestic moose and northern lights.
    Great job with your writing!๐Ÿ‘
