Ahh perhaps I understand now. When the son took his vest off, because of the
sons antlered head, brown furred back and white furred chest and belly,
along with the boys tail doin that white flag thing, why pop couldn't tell
his son from a deer what with the boy down on all his hands and knees
running through the brush.
Give me a break, assuming the story was accurate concerning the sound shot
business, there was no demonstration of woodsmanship. Only dam fools shoot
at sound while hunting. and that ain't crap or opinion, it's a fact./
