\ni was again talked into the hunting shack for our 9 day gun season. i have been huning from my home for
\n\tthe past 20 years, partly because i wanted to and partly because the shack where everyone was staying
\n\tlook pretty full.<\/p>\n
\tnow son and nephew bought the shack and refinished it, so i was told i need to stay there. well
\n\tok what has to be done has to be done…. but the other reason is that i am not a drinker, and
\n\thave not been for 30 years…. i know how, i did that my first 30 years, but enough was enough.<\/p>\n
\tThe cost for the stay is $120 per guy, that buys 35 -30 packs of beer, some whiskey, 2 pounds of
\n\thamberger, pork loin, some eggs, butter, (one 12 pack of diet coke for me) as well as some
\n\tfrozen bread dough. They needed to have some money left in case they ran out of beer.<\/p>\n
\tWell first night was interesting… small start on the beer, one bottle of whiskey gone and to
\n\tbed. Les snores so loud you would have to be dead not to hear it. then jamie falls off to sleep and sleep
\n\twalks all over the cabin talking Klingon or something….now and then others perk up, when they all
\n\tget going it is not bad just sounds like a train going by and i can sleep through that. 6 guys and all
\n\thave their alarms set wrong they go off all night… i get up at four, go out in the kitchen and
\n\tlay down there is it quiet…. <\/p>\n
\n\t1 day done and 8 to go…. beer and whiskey are not going to last…. to night i am heading
\n\tdown the road 4 miles there is a casino…. i think i can sit on one of the chairs and pretend to
\n\tplay slots and get a good night sleep.
\n\tIts not all that bad i can go into me deer stand turn on the gas heater and take a knap. Hope
\n\ti wake up in time to listen to the Packers on my radio and make a couple of burgers for
\n\tdinner.<\/p>\n
\tLife is rough as a deer hunter… but you have to do what is needed to bring fresh meat for
\n\tthe family. Oh ya we have 6 hanging in the cooler already, now we have to cut them all up
\n\tand that takes even more beer and whiskey…… and diet coke<\/p>\n

\n\tgone, 2 chairs were broke, and we had 7 loaves of home made bread left and all the ham.<\/p>\n
\n\tdoes the bread and ham. Or the corelation between beer and whiskwy consumption and its
\n\taffect on hunting time.<\/p>\n
\n\tnot shoot any as none met our minimum size requirement. Basically we have two heated stands
\n\ton the east side of the property and we dont ever walk in the balance during the season. we have
\n\tbeen doing this for 2 years and 3 deer and 24 bucks is pretty good for 60 acres. The bean field was
\n\tnot as productive as i hoped, but maybe tweek that a tad next year.<\/p>\n
