My wife and I are at a well-known couple's house (they are worship leaders). They announce that they are taking everyone deer hunting. We look at each other with excitement because we had never done it before. Then they tell everyone to get their shotguns, bows and arrows, and night goggles because we will be hunting in the dark.
Scene Change:
This host couple are leading worship out in a field. My wife and I have our gear with us. I have a shotgun that I am getting familiar with since I've never hunted before, and she has a white bow, more like a crossbow, with arrows and she is ready to go. I am looking through my night vision goggles and struggling to see clearly. I see something in the bushes and I try to pull the trigger but the gun won't shoot. I tell my wife to take the shot and she, with great ease, shoots the deer. She asks the host (the husband) to take a look at what she has killed . He comes over and we see a perfect shot to the neck of a large deer, but he tells us that it is a female deer and we are only supposed to shoot male deers with antlers. He congratulates her on the good shot and we are off for more. We see a smaller male deer with smaller antlers in the road. We start a long chase that takes us through all kinds of fields, hills, forests, and varied terrains. At one point I notice that the deer has a bandage on one of its antlers that is keeping it together. Like it was broken and the bandage was helping it heal. I grab the deer by the antler and it breaks off and then the deer continues to run. My wife takes a shot and kills the deer and puts an end to the long hunt.
The End!
