Soon, the hunters will begin leaving the area. Pete injures himself as he is carrying wood. After this, he is finished with carrying wood and decides to begin splitting it with an ax for the upcoming winter. Pete also begins to practice with his rifle to stave off the boredom and lonilliness that is beginning to sink again. He shoots at pine cones and small targets in nature. He also hunts and kills a grouse, but is slightly saddened by the killing. Pete sets up a stove and begins to clean up his tent and the area around it. Thanksgiving is approaching and he begins to miss his family. He reads and makes traps to pass the time. On Thanksgiving day, he can't help to think of his family as he eats his grouse alone.
