The New Hunter
It was Saturday morning as Jake, an avid hunter, woke up ready to go bag the
first deer of the season. He walked down to the kitchen to get a cup of
coffee, and to his surprise he found his wife, Alice, sitting there, fully
dressed in camouflage.
Jake asked her, "What are you up to?"
Alice smiled. "I'm going hunting with you!"
Jake, though he had many reservations about this, reluctantly decided to
take her along. Later they arrived at the hunting site. Jake set his wife
safely up in the tree stand and told her, "If you see a deer, take careful
aim and I'll come running back as soon as I hear the shot."
Jake walked away with a smile on his face knowing that Alice couldn't bag an
elephant, much less a deer. Not 10 minutes passed when he was startled as he
heard an array of gunshots.
Quickly, Jake ran back. As Jake got closer to her stand, he heard Alice
screaming: "Get away from my deer!"
Confused, Jake raced faster towards his screaming wife. And again he heard
her yell: "Get away from my deer!" followed by another volley of gunfire!
Now within sight of where he had left his wife, Jake was surprised to see a
cowboy, with his hands high in the air. The cowboy, obviously distraught,
said, "Okay, lady, okay!!!! You can have your deer!!! Just let me get my
saddle off it!" |
