Indisputably, I am the future of hunting because I acquired so much from predecessors, including one vital responsibility: to prolong the legacy of hunting” (Bronner, 2008). Hunting enjoys a valued place in the lifestyle and traditions of families and communities. Especially in southern states, people align their calendars according to ‘game’ legally allowed to be hunted. Wild turkey and other fowl, deer, elk, feral pigs, small game, and in some cases alligator, bison, and bear are permitted to be pursued seasonally during specific times of the year. In Arkansas, students are actually given a day off from school, called ‘Deer Day’, to go hunting.

Smoky Mountain High As I packed the family up in the car, excitement was running through my body, and thoughts of the mountains ran through my mind. It was a long trip from Florida every year, but it was worth the trip and plenty of time for excitement to build. Seven hours to be exact, but finally after that seventh hour of driving I made it to the winding roads of the Smoky Mountains. The excitement was almost overwhelming, but I knew I still had awhile before I could set around the campfire and relax and let all the stress melt away. The vehicle swayed back and forth as the road climbs up and down through the mountains.
Trip to Tigers Stadium Baseball is America’s pastime. It is a child’s dream come true to go to their first Major League Baseball game. My dad, my brothers, Dylan and Dustin, and I piled into the car at 8 in the morning headed for Detroit on 96-East. It was July 7th, 1999, and I was seven years old.

My brother, Brandon, and I had planted some corn near the edge of the forest so that the deer would have plenty to eat close to my hunting spot.
I had to get home. I already had a plan brewing and I thought it to be pretty good. The following morning I decided to start my search in South of Chicago because so many people had known Boom Boom there. As I was walking down my old street I met Penny Roberts who was one of my old high school classmates. Penny had heard about Boom Booms death and was in the middle of her condolence speech when something or rather someone caught my eye.
