Hunting Season in 2009

The hunting this year hasn't gone well at all. My grandpa got a four point, my uncle Matt shot a doe but we couldn't find it, my other grandpa got a six point, my dad got two does and a three point, and my friend got a huge doe. I haven't got one yet. But I'm still working on it. I saw a eight point, three does, and a big ten point opening morning of shotgun season. My dad also missed two eight points, but it happen to all of the best hunters once in a while. My dad's friend shot a wild sow in his woods. It weighed 400 pounds! The hide itself of the wild sow weighed 100 pounds.

This is where we looked for my uncle Matt's deer. This is the neighbors. I wish this was ours too. Hunting is really fun and you get to listen to all the sounds in the woods and you get to see lots of different animals, especially squirrels.

The Homeschool Advantage

Homeschooling has advantages as well as public schools, but in homeschooling there are many more. In homeschooling you can ask questions whenever you need help.  If I have a question or am struggling with a problem, I only have to ask my mom for help and we go over it right away.  I don't have to wait till after the class is over or meet the teacher the next morning or e-mail my teacher if I have a question. In homeschooling you can ask whenever you need help and get it quickly. Another advantage to homeschooling is that you can have  lessons on the Bible, but in public schools there aren't any Bible lessons. The Bible is a good way to find help when you are having a hard day of school. It teaches you about God and His words for our lives. In public schools you are around bad influences all the time, such as smoking, drugs, and bad language. In homeschooling  your around your brothers, sisters and parents and are not so likely to be tempted to do things of the world.  That's why I feel homeschooling is an advantage.
