My Hunter’s Popularity

   Posted by: admin    in Outdoor Syndication

When running an outdoor blog it’s important to keep up with what your readers are most interested in.  Since I started this blog in September of 2007, I thought it’s my outdoor humor. …

Dead Bag Buck & A Grass Kisser

   Posted by: admin    in Outdoor Syndication

Just another ordinary day at the house of a deer hunter:

Time: 5:00 am – in a dark house.

Mark: Jody can you come in here please.
Jody: Where are you?
Mark: In the kitchen.

I turned the corner, flipped on the kitchen light and there it sat.

And it scared the bejeebies out of me.

My husband’s friend’s buck.

And thank goodness I’m not the cook around here because I’d have an attack if I saw that in my freezer.

In the 2 years I’ve been running this outdoor blog, the input here is 100% mine.  But for some odd reason my husband thought he needed to dictate Larry’s story to me.

And I quote:

Larry scored this 3 1/2 year old 8 pointer on his property out of a tree stand on opening day of shot gun. He weighed out at 186 lbs and will be sent to Critter’s Taxidermy in Winamac, Indiana where John Ingram has mounted several heads for me. (My husband)

Yes dear readers, my husband obviously has no clue I run a humorous outdoor blog. He thinks he might get away with being all serious as to how, when, and where this buck was harvested.

It doesn’t matter how good a friend Larry is, neither one of them are getting away with some serious buck story on my outdoor site.  You will never hear me say, “Damn, that’s a nice buck”.

Because I don’t talk like that.

That would be over my dead … 6 point fake buck.

And I think mine weighed 186.5 lbs.

And mine still has his little legs.

Wooo wait a minute … what is wrong with me!

For the love of grass clippings.  Larry owns Meier’s Landscaping & Lawn Service and is in charge of my yard while my hunter is away hunting and I’m busy watching my love movies eating pizza with my feet up.

“Damn!!! That’s a nice buck!”

Have a good day all  … Luv,  The GR Ass Kisser.

If you’re in the Winamac, Indiana area and are looking for a taxidermist, you can call John Ingram at 1-574-946-6857.

If you’re in the Northwest Indiana area and need any lawn or landscaping work done, you can call Larry Meier at 1-219-989-9070.
