Yesterday I was out riding my bike on a local rail trail when I came across a good ole friend. The afterwork hunter. This guy was decked out in the orange and real tree gear, lookin' totally legit with his rifle. He obviously took a bunch of time to suit up in his gear to head out for the kill. Anyway, I roll past him and he gives me a dirty look like, "God damn bikers chasing all the animals and ruining the trails." As I ride on I think to myself, "What a shitty hunter." This guy is hunting on a community recreation trail that is highly used not just by bikers, but by people of all kinds looking to enjoy a little time in the woods. He's not going to be able to shoot anything hunting here. Also, he was tokin' on a fat cigar as I rolled by. Last time I checked animals have a keen sense of smell and being that I smelled the cigar 100 yards before I got to him. Hmmmm. Not good hunting tactics. My roommate is a huge hunter. Gets all geared up the night before the big hunt, smeering deer piss on his clothes. He must be stressed on gear assembly because of the amount of cigarettes he smokes while getting ready. The next day heads out hoping to put some meat on the table. Not a chance when you smell like a Marlboro. I figure I live in a town with a lot of hunters, so I need to share some hunting stories. I also spend a lot of time in the woods, so it is only proper to wear my orange while going to the bar or grocery store in order to strike some conversation with the local woodsman. Remember to wear your hunter orange in and out of the woods. It might save your life. Have a great turkey day and remember the fate of the human race if the humans become the hunted. At least on the traditional meat isn't lobster!
