I've Been Invited on a Hunting Trip

[wrenchman]

If You can get out and hunt some deer or small game before next seasen and shoot shoot and shoot some more we can recomend lots but some times it helps if u get out and use it to see what will work for u.
shooting a pellit gun and 22.s will help with the triger control and moter skills.

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?

I'm sure he's just joking around with you. I'm also quite sure he's aware of your concern about personal hygiene for the week and has planned for that. I doubt you'll have to dive behind whatever nearest bush is available to take care of business.

Packing a garden spade would more than likely get a chuckle out of him, so if you want to play that game, go ahead a play along and then drop the ball that you knew he was joking all along.

Or if you REALLY want to have some fun, pack a post hole digger in your gear, and tell him you expect HIM to haul it!
