Hunting and Piecing

Ok, so this weekend was pretty crazy. To start it off, My mother and I had to get some music ready for a friend's Christmas open house. Next, my brother and I went hunting on Saturday. I went hunting for the first time last year and I knew that I would want to go again this year. We left our house at five-thirty and got out to our hunting grounds at six o'clock. I probably do not need to say how extremely cold it was, but I will say that I wore several layers. We sat outside for about three hours before my hands really started to get cold. Thankfully, we had brought some air-activated hand warmers to put inside our gloves. After we got situated again, we sat there for another couple of hours. At this time, I had gotten extremely frustrated with our position, partly due to the cold wind blowing up onto the ridge and partly due to the fact that we had seen absolutely no sign of deer.
I whispered to Arik, my brother, that I was going to go to a creek that the deer often come to. As I walked I saw some deer tracks and found a trail and decided to head in that direction. The path was not particularly straight and at some points I had to locate the trail again. When I came to the end of the traceable part of the trail, I found a large fallen tree and decided to wait there for a while. After a couple more hours, I headed down to the creek, but there was no sign of them there either.
I quietly walked back to where we had first been that morning; taking precaution not to make much noise in case there were any deer around. I was almost to my brother, when he finally saw me and said that he had seen a couple of doe. We followed their tracks for a while, but decided to give up on the deer for the day. On the way back to the truck, we walked as quietly as we could, because we thought that there could still be a chance that we would see a deer on the way, but in the end, we had gotten no deer.
Over the weekend I have also been trying to fill in some spots in paper that need some work and I have also been trying to piece it together in a logical and flowing manner. This has actually proven to be more difficult than I had first anticipated. I am still a bit frustrated and am trying several different combinations to find the right one, but until then, I will have to just keep at it.
