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!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
