Hunting on Sunday Nov. 8

On Sunday Nov 8 2009 my dad and me went hunting on Norris Lake. Norris Lake is located in Campbell, Anderson, Union, and Claiborne County. We went out on the lake to hunt, but we brought our fishing rods also. We fished all day agin the bank while looking for deer up in the woods. You may be thinking that hunting in a boat is illegal. It in fact is perfectly legal, you just have to go by a few simple rules. 1. The main motor has to be turned off, but you can have the trolling motor on. 2. Don't aim at any boats and know what it is you are shooting. We were having lunch when this huge shadow covered the boat. I looked up and an American Bald Eagle was soaring about 200-300 yards above us. Then it took a nose dive but before it hit the water it lifted up and flew parallel with the water. It extended it s legs and opened its talons and grabbed a big shade out of the water and flew off. It was amazing. Then after lunch we proceeded with our quest on killing a deer. We enters Claiborne, then Union counties and seen nothing. It was about 3 o'clock and turned around to head back to the free launch we had put in at. We entered Claiborne County again and I looked to the right and on the bank were 4 or 5 deer. Dad shut the main motor off and we were still moving at about 30 mph, I grabbed my muzzle loader and aimed at the biggest doe on the bank. We had slowed to about 25 mph and I shot. The doe stood there for a second then started to run but couldn't run because i had broke both of her shoulders. We then drove onto the bank and I drug the deer to the waters edge where we field dressed it/ or gutted it. Then we loaded up into the boat and left, loaded the boat onto the trailer and took the deer to a check in station. Then we took it to the slaughter house.
