deer hunting opening weekend in Texas

[plthijinx]

well i guess my weekend could've started off a little better. not 5 miles from my farm i got pulled over by a state trooper for doing 74 in a 65 on hwy tx 80. he told me that he was going to write me a warning for speeding and my license plate cover, apparently they've been illeagal for about 2 years now. anyway, here's the fucked up part. "sir, have you been drinking?" me: "uhh, yeah. i've had two beers" so i got to do the sobriety dance on the side of the road. i had actually had only 1-3/4 beers so i knew i wasn't leagally drunk. in fact i blew for the first time and it was .02 so that was a relief. i actually thought he was going to arrest me right before he administered the breath test when he asked me to step over to his car. i gave out an "awwww MAN!?!" and he laughed and said i'm not arresting you.....during the pen test, the walk the line and the hold your leg up tests i was so nervous i was visibly shaking. he asked me "how the hell do you fly an airplane as nervous as you are?" i said "one, i'm comfortable in an airplane and when something goes wrong you don't have time to think about it. you just do it and worry later. and two, it's not every day that i have to do something like this!" my buddy that i met up at the farm told me i should of said "eh, i don't fly very well either" lol. anyway i got a citation for open container. i'll take that over lawyers and jail. i talked to my g/f this morning and she held back but i could tell she wanted to come unglued on my ass. anyway, back to hunting. woke up this morning and saw nothing. i hopped in the jeep and went to the shed to see if there was anything that needed to be done. after a little bit nature called and i was driving back to the house and murphy's law kicked in. i saw a very nice buck but was going too fast in the jeep to stop in time and throw up the old weatherby mark V 30-06 on him. why is it that when you have to shit is when you see the nicest buck in the county and can't do anything about it? well, there is this evening and tomorrow morning. until then, everyone have a great saturday!
