when my wife went into labor with my 1st 2 sons i was in the woods (nov26 and dec2) , the 1st time witha deer down. good thing for cell phones!! she was not impressed, but i made it home in time to drive her to the hospital. my dad went and got the 4 pointer for me. when my mom went into labor for me (many moons ago) my dad was floating around the hudson river duck hunting, and his friends were driving up and down the shore with the horns blaring on thier cars. took an hour, but he finally figured something was up!

my 3rd son came 2 hours before i was supposed to be 60 miles offshore deep-sea fishing, good timing on that one, i' m not sure i wouldve had phone service that far out!
we (hunters)are a rare breed, indeed
