Speaking of the inadvisability of stirrin' up hunter-types.

Reminds me of some simple wisdom me pappy lay on me one sunny cold day when I
was a wee deer hunter.

We were hunting for deer, walking down an old logging road, quietly chatting
about the relatively low kill count that season. Disease was spreading thru
the deer population that year.

On our way to a spot we preferred to begin our stalk, a fella up on a nearby
knoll started shouting down at us that we were makin' too much noise and go
sit our sorry asses down and shut the Fjukk up. He says he had a bead on a
buck when we scared 'em away.
My pops says quietly under his breath to me, "well if ya had a shot why
dincha take it?"

Now i'm kinda ****ed at this fella shoutin' at us all impoilte and such and
say to my dad, "hey..right dad. Tell him that..you tell 'em..why dint he take
the shot?"

"sorry, friend!" my dad says "we'll be movin on and keepin' quiet"

So now i'm like really confused and ask my pops, "He was a rude redneck dad.
Why didn't you lay that one on him about taking the shot?"

My dad looks down at me all wise (he had been a cop and later detective in
Detroit all my life) and he says,

"Because he has a gun, my boy."
