I must say I enjoyed seeing your face of disgust when I beeped the horn.

Hern, anyone vying for "The Deckard" better come proper with a legit story.  Daddy's account of misfortune was comical at best but definitely not worthy of such a grand award.

What I cannot believe are the rookie mistakes made as a so called "Veteran" of the sport.  Here are some tips for you Dad!

1) Always, always carry three good batteries in your pocket.  One for the headlight and two for the shooting light.

2) Keep the gun light off until you are ready to ID and Shoot.  Also saves on Batteries.

3) You obviously missed because you were not using Ernie's Tri X shooting stand.

4) Rhododendron is a "species of concern".  Accidental shootings must be reported to the game commission immediately or you will force my hand.

5) 68?  There is no Mo@#$% Fu%^&* Way !!!!!!!!!  Enough said.

6) Goose doesn't really want to hunt.  He just wants to report on the weather from his recliner.  Stop asking him then you won't be disappointed!!

6) Glad to see you got to hunt with your son again.  Hopefully you can do it again soon.

PS:  If your flesh and blood can't make it out with you, give me a call.  I would like to go hunting with my step daddy sometime.  Especially at your spots.  It would save me from typing all of these tips and wasting time when I should be working.
"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!

 :) All I got out of that "Goose" was, he should be working!!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  #5 unfortunately young man that is the truth  :P :P :P #1 I don't have room...I have nitro pills,hankerchiefs,gum,snacks,etc. #2 I'm always ready to shoot! That's why I have the light on,don't want to be in the dark like you. #3 Possibly #4 OK but I already ate the evidence #5 SEE ABOVE...enough said....#6 I am never disappointed in my teammate., he has my 6. #7 Because 6 doesn't come after 6 you mathematical genius.....the good son went back the next day with 2 of his finest Aussie tracking dogs to make sure I missed  :P as he was amazed such a thing could happen  ;)...he's going in the WILL for sure,your OUT,he's IN   ;D ;D PS: OK but do I need to ask Dotty first?????

Lookn4adad
He's just going to take you out at night and tell you to hold a bag over the trail he points out to you to gard. He will tell you just to stay there until he runs the critters to you to catch in the bag. Just like he did when you were 4 years old.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

Your right again Buckwheat only this time I am a little more wise to his tricks.  I move to the side of the trail.  Everyone knows the critters don't run down the center. ;D ;D ;D

Daddy, You keep your headlight on all the time not your shooting light.  I thought they taught you that at the home.   :o :o :o

gOOSEpoop, I made a post now you can jump in.  Your welcome. ::) ::)
