My best friendâs husband grew up in northern Michigan. He begged off the annual hunt as soon as he was old enough to stand up to his family. Not because he doesnât like hunting, but because he doesnât like hunting with people who have been drinking heavily prior to picking up their shotguns. Apparently itâs a pretty common problem there.
Big problem, agreed. I should be clear that that is not the members of my family; they are really quite serious in the treatment of firearms. (I can attest to this, having tagged along a few times to just get out into the woods.)
Just, some days they just opt to sit around the fire, drink beer and shoot the bull with the family they donât get to see that often. Itâs almost like shooting animals isnât the central purpose of the annual hunting tripâŚ
That sounds like a nice family to hang out with!
Yup. Except for the usual caveats: donât get them started on religion or politics.
I call that âcampingâ.
I could bring my invisible gun and go snipe hunting, but that doesnât carry enough machismo for some. Iâm sure.
Well camping would be the right word if they didnât hope to chance upon a tasty, tasty deer without too much work.
Semantics and all. But I am guessing your point was more taking a dig at gun owners.
Mostly teasing, I wouldnât be averse to fishing in the same scenario.
I thought you said they are responsible in their handling of firearms?
Thanks everybody, Iâm here all night. Tip your waitress!
