"Dixie wake up." Beau says. I look at him then at the clock an see that it's only four clock. "It's to early Beau let me sleep." I say. "Fine I will go hunting with out you then." Beau says. I through the covers off an jump out of bed an grab my clothes an run to the bathroom an change. "Slow down I woke you up in time to get things in order an eat I Cooked breakfast." Beau says. I smile an run downstairs an eat breakfast an then finished packing. "Ready to go my love?" Beau ask. "Yes I am my handsome." I say. I put my jacket an vest on then slinged my backpack on my back, grabbing my gun an me an Beau started walking out to the deer stand. "Here is your deer stand I'm going to mine on down need my help text me if you want my phone is on vibrate." Beau whispers. I say the same an he kisses me an I climb up onto my stand an waited. A few minutes later the deer feeder went off an I got my gun ready. After about fifteen minutes after the deer feeder out came a Buck an a few does. I took aim to shoot the Buck an fired an the Buck took off but soon fell. Climb down an go over to it an see that I got a nice clean hit so I start dragging it closer to the deer stand yes I'm that strong an called Beau. 

Beau:What's wrong I heard a shot?
