haha, got ya all beat! first, the girlfriend( or whatever she is this week, keeps changing her moods) is a cancer survivor, she is also an amputee from it. she had a hard time carring because of what the chemo did. got pregnant, due four years ago in nov. now, rifle hunting in VT is only for 16 days, 12 before thanksgiving, four after. had trouble carrying, spent much of the last two weeks of oct, rest of nov in hospital. oct is bow season, 9 days in dec is muzzleloader. needless to say, i didn't get out much, paid for it when i did, didn't get a deer. two years later, guess what happens, again? this time, he was born in dec, both kids right smack dab in the middle of the hunting seasons. no deer that year, either. wonder why. screw it, tell her she got herself into, she can finish the job by herself, lol. and then take cover!!
