The Hunt

By David Francis

The crisp Autumn air calls to Elmer, an old man who has lost faith in life, to climb the mountain of his youth in search of the great, majestic Whitetail Buck. Not fearing death or his advanced age, Elmer picks up his rifle and enters upon his last journey reliving memories from his past as he climbs the great hills of Jenkins Mountain searching for a trophy buck. The historic mountain provides bounty for the hunter that is willing to sacrifice, and the king of the mountain crowned with fourteen glorious points leads the hunter to his final glory.
