7 Questions And Comments Hunters Have Heard More Than Turkey Calls
Twenty20

Oh, the life long struggle of being a hunter. The things people have asked me, or just blatantly said, would blow your mind. Here are just a few of the questions and comments I've heard the most, as well as a few that are my favorites!

1. "Isn't it cold out there?"

Nah, I just have on 5 layers of clothing and this beanie because it's 80 degrees and I would like to sweat today.

2. *While wearing camouflage* "Are you guys going hunting?"

I have been asked this question more times than not. Usually, I'm standing in line at a convenient store grabbing a drink and some snacks when someone behind me has to ask if I'm, or we're, hunting. The smart ass in me has come out in responses like, "No, not today."

3. *Also while wearing camouflage* "Wow I can't see you!"

This is a go-to for my friends, and I'm pretty sure I always roll my eyes or give them a look!

4. "Poor little Bambi!"

Non-hunters, especially friends, like to bring up the good ol' Disney movie.

5. "So you just sit there and wait for a deer?"

It's not a hard concept, I promise.

6. *After being asked if we've gotten anything yet* "You should see the deer in my backyard!"

I am often asked how the season is going or if I've gotten anything, mainly by family friends. For some reason, their go-to response when I say no is always, "You should see all of the deer in my yard!" Okay well, if you're going to bring them up then follow suit with telling me when I can come hunt them....

7. "Did you catch anything?"

I think this one has to be my favorite. I'm not sure if I get asked this because people genuinely don't know the terminology (or if I'm actually going fishing), but it seems to come up with friends and their parents, especially those from more of a city environment.


I'm sure my fellow hunters can relate to these absurd, and sometimes totally hilarious comments!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
