ORIGINAL: Sooner State Hunter
I was in astore yesterday (our season opens today) picking up some snake gaiters and saw a guy looking at arrows. He had a cell phone to his ear and the conversation went like this: "Hey bud ... nope, all they have are these aluminum... nah, I don't think they'll fly that different.... ok I'll pick ya' some up". That was funny stuff
This is the type of guy we (me in my other thread from a month ago) and Matt in this one are talking about. Sure conclusions can be jumped to, but the "type" is relatively easy to spot. I won't knock a guy for buying a bow a week before the season, heck I could get one tomorrow and be grooving by the end of the night; but when you couple it with bait, broadheads, some new camo, and the over heard comments like the above, all roads lead to a sack punch.
I don't expect everyone to be as crazy as I am about the season being upon us, but it hits me wrong as a guy who spent last week looking forward to doing laundary for this week and so on.
Who knows? The knucklehead last minute illegal baiter will probably score a monster and I will eat tag soup, but I will still have the better season.
