I really appreciate all these answers! I was worried you'd think I was some silly nuisance. Because it can't be overstated what a priss I can be sometimes, and I really don't want to be on this hunting trip. I have a year to get manly.
bigbrother, I appreciate the word on getting in shape, because I'm not. I'll start working on that now. Also, wrenchman, you really mean just shooting my Daisy BB gun will help? Because I can afford BBs, but I'm not sure how many target practice sessions I can afford with 30.06 shells (rounds? cartridges?). And I think may dad has a .22 rifle. Those bullets aren't too expensive, right?
Petey, yes, I'm very lucky. My friend has all the hunting gear I need, and I'll get "girl" clothes for it. He even says if I can handle the 30.06 well, I might even earn my own gun. Wow! And believe me, I know that people will pay thousands and thousands to go hunting in Alaska and I will pay nothing. That's another reason why I want to be a good hunter and not a hinderance.
Now here are my new questions. My friend is a joker. So when I ask him stuff about the trip, I always get the worst possible answer. You know, the most extreme thing. And I can't tell what is the real answer and what answer is to freak me out so he'll think it's funny. Like when I ask about bathroom business. "We're gonna be bears, darlin. Does a bear **** in the woods?" So...what if he really means that? Do you dig a hole for that? Should I pack my gardening spade?
