Hunting Update

For those of you following the hunting saga, here's the latest.......

Bret and Brian (a.k.a. Bret's Hunting Accomplice) wanted to head back to the property immediately to look for those bucks again. They decided to wait until the next night though, so Brian brought all his gear over the next day, and they headed off to the property ready for a kill. They got home a while after dark - empty handed. No such luck that all three bucks were tucked into their beds waiting for them again.

So, the next day (yesterday) Bret has to head to Arizona for a job. Brian still has the "bug" and calls Bret in Arizona to see if it's okay for him to head over there and hunt without Bret. Bret, of course, says sure. So Brian packs up his entire family, his brother, his brother's wife, and their baby to go on a hunting expedition.

They get there and wander around for about half an hour to no avail. They all load up to leave, start driving out the driveway, and there in front of the house is one of the bucks. Before Brian can do anything, his brother hopped out of the truck, grabbed the gun, and shot it. So, I'm told I WILL be trying venison soon. We'll see about that! : ) Bret is now booked on a red eye home tonight, rather than tomorrow like originally planned, so he can get in on the action! Brian has no idea what kind of monster he's created!!!

Hmmmm......maybe that could be a marketing strategy to sell the house. "Hunting Chalet" sounds like it should fetch a pretty penny.

  1. OMG!!! Does Bret have a hunting license? Better not tell my grandchildren that you're killing "their" deer.
    Grams.

     
  2. Ummm, i'm not sure that shooting things around your new neighborhood is a good idea. I mean, what if I did that? I don't think the neighbors would like that very much.

     
  3. I take it you're using the word "neighborhood" very loosely!! :) I'm sure they are all happy to know that yesterday was the last day of the season though, so there will be no more shooting going on!!! The only time it's a problem is when you have to explain to your neighbor that you shot their dog because you mistook it for a deer - whoops!! : ) [Thank goodness that really didn't happen BTW!]

     
  4. Thank goodness you clarified the dog comment! You never know with Bret what might happen!
