Deer Hunting PSA

PSA - It is Sept 23, just a few days before the beginning of deer season, so as a help to all who know me, here are a few things to expect. 

1.  If I seem a bit distracted, I am. You may have to repeat yourself. I apologize and thank you in advance. 

2.  If you happen to ride in my truck, expect it to smell a bit of a mixture of deer pee, fresh earth cover scent, coffee (ok, that one is year round), and any other food item I may have eaten on the way to the woods. 

3.  Also, if you happen to ride in my truck, please excuse the "muddy" boots, the variety of hanging camo articles, potential weaponry required, numerous backpack/belt packs as I may find necessary, calls, and other implements as the season will dictate.

4.  If I smell a bit of a mixture of deer pee, fresh earth cover scent, coffee (ok, that one is year round too), and any other food item I may have eaten on the way to the woods; yes, I did shower. But come on, it's pee. That smell tends to linger. 

5.  I appreciate your patience. On behalf of all of us who lay awake at night waiting for these days and dream of them when we finally drift off to sleep only to be jarred awake mere moments later to get 20 ft up a tree before the sun comes up; we thank you. Thank you for tolerating our odd smells.  Thank you for feigning interest when we show you the latest trail cam pics on our phones. Thank you for reserving judgement when pictures of our kids or family reunions had to be deleted so as to have said pics. 

6.  Be patient. January will roll around and all will be back to normal soon enough. Then we get to wait 9 months and do it all over again.
