Blind Enthusiasm
‘‘Twas the night before deer season.”
And all through the house.
I was running amuck.
Cuz it’s what you do the day before the home opener!
Here we go for another season gang, blinds are set and the prospects look good.
More to follow.

Taking a friend out for his first mule deer hunt this morning, hoping a certain buck shows up like he has over the last two weeks.

At 9:10 it happened!
First a doe, then there he was, antlers sticking up through the grass.
Rear view around 260 yds(ranged earlier) by the time the rifle went up....... gone! Smart bugger musta went through the dead ground. The doe stayed visible from the fence to the Bush!
That’s why it’s called hunting.

Can't bring myself to play that game though many obviously do. I have always seen it as lying to my boss and stealing from the taxpayers who ultimately pay my wage. kinda like walking into the office and stealing cash out of the drawer. Now if I was thinking, I should have lined up a psychiatrist appointment to discuss my hunting addiction for about 12:30 and booked it out to the bush after that. LOL.
I did ask my boss if he would give me the day off in lieu of some of the extra evenings I put in. He said he couldn't.

What are you insinuating?
Remember it’ll be you in the box next, which box is dictated by how you treat me.

Meh, maybe I'm finally at the age where part of me says " don't say that- oh what the Hay, let's say it anyway and see what happens"!
