Deer Hunting

This is another post that is a month overdue. I'll just say right off I have never been deer hunting, so maybe it is something you have to truly experience before you can make fun of it, but i am going to do it anyway.

Somewhere starting in November, guys start taking off work to go try their luck at deer hunting. They plan all year for this experience and talk a big talk of how this is THE year they get the big one. They call it game...but is it really "game" if only one participant knows he is playing? They sit up in their tree stand for hours before a herd of deer mosey by, merely looking for their supper. When the hunter sees them, they steady their 1000 dollar plus weapon and shoot it dead and a victorious cheer erupts from the tree.

Following this, the hunter poses for several different glamor shots with them holding up the deer's head in triumph. Every year people thrust these pictures in other guy's faces and expect a reception similar to that of a grandma showing off newborn baby pics to her friends. I've had pictures, antlers and even an entire deer head shown to me this year. Crazy.
