Hunting Crazy

All year we, hear about it...the planning of the hunt. It is where sane people for some reason go insane talking jibberish about deer stands, rifles and pellets or hunting vehicles and weeks long trips far from home in some unpopulated bush far far up north. It is where they dream of getting the big one and get up in the middle of the night to go wait for one.
It is when bright florescent orange becomes fashionable and the more of it the better. It is when you are driving along and see specks of orange partially hidden in tree lines.
It is when men and women who have no patience to sit still for more than 5 minutes can spend all day sitting up in a tree...waiting....
Then it comes and you hear more stories of "the big one that got away" or these orange clad people bonding over their trophy. It would be so nice to have a spa week during this week of deer season.
Its not like I am against hunting but personally I couldn't or wouldn't do it but I just get sooooo tired of listening to the same stories year after year. I understand why they hunt and why in alot of ways its a good thing. These guys are by the book and go by ministry guidelines which is great and they doing the right things. Just stop talking to me about it..not so much to ask right?
