Treebeard had to go to the radio station in NJ so i went with him. I droped him off and headed for the hills. The weather was perfect and so was the trail. Rattle Snake Swap trail near the AT. AS i set out I started to hear gun shots. But they were off in the distants. No worries! I was wearing my black down jacket and my green pants. I did not look like a deer.
just then I saw something off to my left. A lone hunter putting his rifle up to his shoulder and getting ready to look into the scoop at ME!.

so I yelled "HELLO, I AM NOT A DEER OR BEAR!!!"

He kinda laughed. I went my way up the moutain. I saw a great sunset and took some fun pics. I started to hear more and more gun shots coming closer.Then I remeber it was bear season, and I was wearing my black coat. OH CRAP so I took off all of my layers (yes it was cold standing there in my bra) and put my yellow undershirt on top of my coat. I was thinking that if they did shot me it was because I looked liked a freaked out HUGE bumble bee. So I high tailed it out of there. Ever try to run down a moountain in a foot of snow? not easy. So after a few butt flops and a few face plants I made it to the car safe and sound.

On my way home I saw the hunter and asked if he got anything, he said yeah. I asked if I could take a pic of it. He said no. I asked why. He said because it was to small for pictures. It was very small. not a buck, nor a full grown doe. EVIL BASTARD!!

I don't think he was allowed to be there. I have to find out.

But I will never ever go out without my orange fleece! I will always call ahead and find out about the hunting. I learned a lesson today. It did scare me, But it was very nice to get out anyway!

That's why I stopped hunting & dislike city hunters. You NEVER search with a rifle scope UNLESS it's detached from the rifle.

I have a great-uncle that lost his arm in a hunting accident when he was about 13. His own Dad seen some bushes moving, thought it was a deer, took a shot and hit his own son. Just so happened another hunter in the woods was a medic in the army. They had to take his arm off right there to stop the bleeding or he would have died.

So why is the guy for shooting a less than trophy deer? Did it have spots? Meat is meat. Trophy hunting sucks.

Naw, she just said very small "not a buck or full grown doe".
But, the point is not to take a large deer specifically but to take a deer. While killing a small deer may seem wrong, it's a deer and it is meat. The goal is generally to remove a deer from the population and fill one's freezer. And btw, the small ones are very tender. (mooohahahahaha)

Places that sell hunting licenses also have free guides to hunting seasons.

Gentle pretty thing
Who only had one spring
You bravely faced the world
Ready for anything
I'm happy that you lived
For your life is mine
What have I except to cry
Spirit never die
Birds of the air
Beasts of the earth
Overjoyed at Bambi's birth they gambolled in the glade

[Chorus]
Who killed Bambi? [x9]

Murder murder murder
Someone should be angry
The crime of the century
Who shot little Bambi
Never trust a hippie
'Cause I love punky Bambi
I'll kill to find the killer
In that rotten roll army
All the spikey punkers
Believers in the ruins
With one big shout
They all cry out
Who killed Bambi?

[Chorus x2}

But he tastes good and is healthy, and I know bambi dies a better death than all those chicken littles and buttercup the cows and orville the pigs.

No venison in our freezer this year unfortunately. That means more veggetarian meals.
