10 Tips For A Successful Deer Hunt - The Hunter’s Wife Version
The past week has been extremely hot and a lot of hunters didn’t even go out. I am sure all of you deer hunters are now excited that the cool weather is approaching. With that, I thought I would help some of you out with My version of a successful deer hunt. Your significant other will thank me.
- When waking at 3:00 a.m. - 4:00 a.m. - Do not turn on all the lights in the house and wake everyone from your excitement.
- Please do not hum those tunes “Up in the morning with the rising sun.” Others are sleeping.
- Prepare yourself the night before. Do not wake the house cause you can’t find your deer grunt thingymajigger.
- And don’t try out your thingymajigger before you leave.
- If using the rattler thingymajigger, please don’t try that out either and rattle the house up.
- When dressed don’t blame us because your clothes smell like downey fabric softner. I forgot I had to use that green stuff to wash them in and put in a bag of leaves. Who does this?
- If you catch a deer (oooops…down a deer), I can wait and hear about it when you get home. We are sleeping in.
- Please let some of your hunting friends know where you hunt in case of an accident. I am 150 miles away and have never been in the woods. They will find you before they find me.
- If you call one more time because you have poison oak or ivy….well, &*^$%#&*$*.
- Last but not least, even though we enjoy you are enjoying yourself please don’t forget those special holidays like MY birthday tomorrow! October 10th Honey!!!
P.S. our anniversary is October 15th.

Too funny, Jody! I’m guessing there are a lot of spouses of hunters who would print these tips out and post them somewhere as a reminder to the hunter in the house.

Happy Birthday!
But you were kidding right? You know it’s a deer grunt call or tube, right? Just checking! I’m off to go and wash my camo in special, unscented, UV-free laundry detergent now!!

Dana, thanks for the birthday wishes….I do know it is a deer grunt thingymajigger and I think I have heard it enough this season.
And after your wash, don’t forget to place your clothes in the bag of leaves so they smell extra outdoorsey fresh.

Did you forget this one?
Never pop a cap on your Muzzleloader in the house before leaving for the hunt in the morning.
