DEER HUNTING 1985



Its in the woods at the crack of dawn for this years whitetail


hunt is on. You climb a tree for a lengthy stay and you don't climb


down until the end of day. By ten AM you're usually freezing and you


wonder if there is some reason, by five PM you admit defeat and its


back to the shack for something to eat. You ask your friends if


they've seen a deer, they say "not a thing, but there's plenty of beer!"


The party of four can take one doe but the guy with the tag, he


says "hell no", so when you see a deer but its not a buck, you curse


out-loud "what rotten luck".


The second week-end its just the two, but that's OK its nothing


new. So you walk the woods and follow some track and you know that next


year you'll be back, but one thing sure is a different group cause deer


tracks make for a mighty this soup!
