My story is about something girls and boys do
not have chance tc do. Last September, while
at my home in Montana, in the heart of the Rocky
mountains, climbed mountain for the first time. We
started in the morning to get deer for the
then usually disappear thru the day until SHUTDOWN We
first went down to the pasture for horses and sad
died them, took our guns and ammunition, little lunch
and some sacks to carry the meat home after had
killed the deer We had than reached noun
tain when we heard sound in the brush behind We
let our dogs CO. loaded our and just ready to
Shoot when great the drove Buttons
our friendly pack horse out of the brush At this point
we decided to tie our horses and climb the mountain
afoot. We climbed and climbed until I thought we
never should reach the top 1t was about when
and hungry after long climb, ate lunch We
were loading guns when we heard the dogs bark
down the mountain little way, scrambled to where
they were and killed little whtetaled deer We then
had the meat and great heavy horns down the
mountain to where the horses were Then rode home
very tired but in triumph It had been not only
mountain TIA climbing but also my first shooting.
