I had been sitting in the stand for about two hours now and hadn’t seen a deer, which was pretty normal. I sat there thinking to myself, “How come I am not seeing any deer? It’s a perfect morning and the best time to hunt. I have trail cam pictures of big bucks all year long. What is going on?” My problem was I didn’t know the deer movement like I should.

Annie Dillard’s essay “The Deer at Providencia,” expresses that whether you are animal or human, pain is unavoidable. She seems to believe that pain is a part of life that everyone has to go through and is something that one must accept. That is why when she noticed the deer’s neck “showed red striped and some bruises bleeding inside the muscles.” (Line 43) she had no reaction on her face. Dillard makes these points by reflecting on her trip to a village called Providencia with three North American

The Deer of Providencia is about deer being tied to a tree. 4 North Americans come and saw the deer, instead of helping, they were watching it suffer, the Native Americans move on and started to eat lunch, and watch the helpless deer struggle.

It shows that animals just don’t get the same right as we humans do. “Life has no Justice,” “Trying to paw itself free of the top, it had scratched his neck with his hooves, and raw underside showed

The Hunt for the Whitetail Deer It was December 11th, 2010, opening day for the second shotgun season in Iowa, and I was at home in my bed sleeping. Until my dad walked in at 5:00 a.m., tore my covers off and said, “Quinton, get up. It’s 5:00 a.m. Wanna be on the road in forty-five minutes.” I grunted and rolled out of bed.

Migrating mule deer can move more than 150 miles, across different landscapes, and encounter many different obstacles and challenges along the way. An example of this would be the longest mule deer migration ever recorded, which was discovered in Wyoming, USA. Mule deer travel
