7 Questions And Comments Hunters Have Heard More Than Turkey Calls
Twenty20

Oh, the life long struggle of being a hunter. The things people have asked me, or just blatantly said, would blow your mind. Here are just a few of the questions and comments I've heard the most, as well as a few that are my favorites!

1. "Isn't it cold out there?"

Nah, I just have on 5 layers of clothing and this beanie because it's 80 degrees and I would like to sweat today.

2. *While wearing camouflage* "Are you guys going hunting?"

I have been asked this question more times than not. Usually, I'm standing in line at a convenient store grabbing a drink and some snacks when someone behind me has to ask if I'm, or we're, hunting. The smart ass in me has come out in responses like, "No, not today."

3. *Also while wearing camouflage* "Wow I can't see you!"

This is a go-to for my friends, and I'm pretty sure I always roll my eyes or give them a look!

4. "Poor little Bambi!"

Non-hunters, especially friends, like to bring up the good ol' Disney movie.

5. "So you just sit there and wait for a deer?"

It's not a hard concept, I promise.

6. *After being asked if we've gotten anything yet* "You should see the deer in my backyard!"

I am often asked how the season is going or if I've gotten anything, mainly by family friends. For some reason, their go-to response when I say no is always, "You should see all of the deer in my yard!" Okay well, if you're going to bring them up then follow suit with telling me when I can come hunt them....

7. "Did you catch anything?"

I think this one has to be my favorite. I'm not sure if I get asked this because people genuinely don't know the terminology (or if I'm actually going fishing), but it seems to come up with friends and their parents, especially those from more of a city environment.


I'm sure my fellow hunters can relate to these absurd, and sometimes totally hilarious comments!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
