Eddie, no stranger to danger, drove hours to participate
in his state’s deer hunt challenge.
Thankful lockdown now was behind him and eager to fine tune
his craft once the initial gathering of fellow hunters came to a
close he quickly swooped up his gear and headed towards an
observation post, a watch tower.
It was prime time for deer to wander the forest.
This day the sudden loud noise from a chainsaw would disrupt
the deer and lessen his chances of taking home a buck.
Tired from the long drive quite disappointed he shut his eyes
and soon sleep overcame him.
Hours later the other two members of his group returned
to awaken him.
They had been successful and for a brief period shared
their stories.
Eddie soon had to face the fact he fell into the class of
inexperienced hunters. There would be no cut Venison in
his chest freezer this year.
Some folks consider killing a deer (even for food sustenance)
murder.
Perhaps the preservation of wildlife was the chainsawer’s
intention, to allow the deer more time to fatten their flesh.
Once home Eddie wasted no time downing a tall glass of
cold beer.
