Sorry, just felt like venting.

Can thank Bob for turning me off deer hunting.

Told me he was going to take me deer hunting during archery season when I was a teen.
Camoed my bow, and actually made camo gear, jacket, pants etc. Yes I can sew.
Built my own target and practiced a LOT from a tree in our lots.
Even bought some high dollar, for me, arrows to hunt with.
Come hunting season Bob not only didn't take me, but took my hunting arrows under false pretenses and used my deer tag as well.
So decided F him and his deer hunting.
Spending his families last penny on a hunting trip despite his wife and two boys was why she divorced him.

Did take my bow on my Boy Scout troop hikes. Took a .22 rifle as well.

Used the bow for trout fishing, tasty. Better than that freeze dried stuff. Also a lot faster than trying to use a hook and line of fly fishing. There was good reason for that archery merit badge.

Got a bobcat and a velvet tailed rattlesnake with the .22. Our troop got $75 for the bobcat pelt because the area was overpopulated. We only saw the one. We weren't really hunting though.

The rattlesnake tasted like greasy chicken. and the skin tanned nicely for our meeting room. Refused to try the squirrel the guy got that carried a 410 shotgun. Even though our scoutmaster did know how to cook wild game very well. Couldn't believe he thought he was going to get a bobcat with that 410 though.
