Outdoorsman
Coming from the state of Illinois and being what I would consider and “outdoorsman”, the Duluth campus is a wonderful college for students with a love for the outdoors. Growing up my dad always took my brothers and I hunting (duck, turkey, deer, pheasant). Ever since I can remember I have always loved being outside and in the woods and the duck blind. Due to the price of an out-of-state license, I haven’t been able to go hunting here in Minnesota but every Thanksgiving my family comes up to Ashland and we partake in the deer hunt over in Wisconsin.
Although I live in a house in the city of Duluth, it doesn’t mean my love for the outdoors has changed. I still walk through the trails around the CSS campus and take opportunities to go to some of my teammates’ cabins. This year I brought my bow up to Duluth in hopes to maybe get a license for the archery season but instead I’ve just been working on my shot. A few of my roommates have taken to the hobby as well after seeing me set up in the backyard shooting at a target. The other day I decided to up the difficulty of my shot from 15 yards on the ground to about 30 yards in the air – more similar to a shot from a tree stand. Sometimes you just have to take what you can get and make the most of the hand your dealt.
We are safe about how we go about shooting and are always aware of the surroundings – Our target is set up with a large hill behind it.
