Reply #2: for me getting ready for hunting season means making sure the kids

[Kali]

are wearing color when they go outside (and not letting them out when they were younger!), having lots of interuptions in my day from all the good ol boys stopping by to ask where the deer are (! - isn't that part of hunting? to go find 'em yourself?) and the endless driving past the house. Last year I put my foot down about the atv's (why did I even have to do that? This isn't a kids motocross track, it is a working ranch, if you are to wimpy to drag your kill out on your own I guess I can put up with an atv for it, but I sure as hell don't think all your kids need to be racing around all day and night up and down our road just for "fun" - no wonder they need directions to the deer - they let their kids scare 'em all off)

Bleh, they never share either. I don't get much out of it but the occasional bottle.

Back in the day the Mexican family that hunted here for years always brought tamales if they got something. They were good folks.
