10 th ANNIVERSARY
LOWER HOWARD LAKE SPORTSMENS ASSOCIATION
DEER HUNTING, 1993
BY LARS
CONFUSE-US SAY, "HE WHAT WALK WITH AN S-K-S, HUNT BIG GAME WITH THE VERY
BEST". MOST MEN DON'T THINK THIS IS TRUE, THEY SAY YA CAN'T KILL NOTHIN WITH
A SEVEN SIX TWO! BUT WE DON'T CARE CAUSE ITS SO DARN FUN, TO STALK THEM
DEER WITH THAT CHINEESE GUN!!
YUKON'S A VETERAN WHO'S HUNTED NINE YEAR, HE FINALLY HAS TAKEN HIS VERY FIRST DEER. WITH HELP FROM HIS BUDDIES AND A THREE GUN ATTACK, WE'VE LIFTED THAT MONKEY OFF OF HIS BACK. AND THE DEER SHACK OWNER WHO IS ALSO THE POET, HAS LEARNED FROM HIS MENTOR, THIS YEAR HE SHOWED IT. ON OPENING MORNING AT SIX FOURTY-FIVE, ONE TENDER YOUNG BUCK IS NO LONGER ALIVE!
JUST LIKE HIS FATHER, A MAN WHO SHOT STRAIGHT, ITS RARE THAT HE MISSES WITH DADS .308!
ON NOVEMBER THE 12TH WE HAD A NEW CREW, IT SEEMS WOLFBAIT AND PING HAD SOMETHING TO DO. AND YUKON CAN'T HUNT TWO WEEKS IN A ROW, CAUSE HIS
BOY HAS A BIRTHDAY, THAT'S IMPORTANT YA KNOW! SO THE HUNT STILL
CONTINUES WITH SEVERAL NEW FACES, K-KID AND SENIOR HAVE TAKEN THEIR PLACES. THEY SEEMED TO ENJOY IT, THIS LIFE AT THE SHACK. AND WE'RE HOPIN THAT NEXT YEAR THEY BOTH WILL BE BACK.
THIS POEM AIN'T COMPLETE, IV'E JUST BEEN THINKIN, UNTIL WE ADDRESS THE POKER AND DRINKIN! AS PER THE NORM, WE FINISHED THE KEG, AND THE VICTIMS OF POKER LOST AN ARM AND A LEG! THE FOOD WAS A PLENTY, THE COOKING
WAS GREAT, AND IN SPITE OF THE WALKING, WE ALL GAINED SOME WEIGHT!
THE FOREST OF TREES, THE TRAILS AND BUCKS, THE POWERFUL GUNS AND THE
4 BY 4 TRUCKS. ITS HARD TO DECIDE WHAT I CHERISH THE MOST, BUT TO OUR 10
YEAR TRADITION, I OFFER THIS TOAST:
TO THE WHITETAIL,
