Will's First Hunt Kerri J. Busteed

After recently losing his mother, 11-year old Will Barnes is left with his father and his love of hunting. Will puts everything he has into becoming a hunter his father will be proud of. Will is certain his dad won't make him wait until he's 12 to go hunting, but when his dad discovers him and his best friend pretending to hunt in the living room, he is less than amused. Now in order to hunt when he turns 12, Will must prove to his father that he is mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come with the sport. Over the next year, Will secretly learns everything he can about hunting, including how to read deer signs and how to be safe in the woods. Just before hunting season is about to begin, Will takes his dad on a walk through the woods to prove that he is ready to go on his very first hunt. Is this going to be the year that Will's father lets him hunt? Author Kerri J. Busteed was motivated to write this book by her husband's great love of hunting and her long, contemplative walks in the woods. Busteed works as a school and emergency department nurse. She lives in De Soto, Wisconsin with her husband and two children. Publisher's website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/WillsFirstHunt.html
