Shorthanded Lady Dogs battle in Bremond
Body
From a young age I have been very interested in hunting. My whole family loves to go hunting; it's like a tradition. Every fall of every year we go hunting and spend time with family. I especially love hunting down south near the small town of Reserve. The area is beautiful with high peaks and tall trees, and is filled with game such as: Mule deer, whitetail deer, elk, antelope, and coyotes. Most of the time when hunting we will run into some of these types of game. My favorite part is definitely the time spent with family. I have always enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, and hope to one day pass it down to future generations.
