Opening Day — Susan Bartlett

Sam's best friend Eric loves to hunt. Eric's whole family hunts―even his grandma!―but Sam's family doesn't.

Sam wants to make up his own mind, and with his parents' support he works hard to get his hunting license. Sam feels great to be with Eric and his dad at the opening-day breakfast, but once he sees a deer in the woods, he wonders if hunting is not for him. But if he decides it isn't, will Eric still be his friend?
