I'm like you Man! Who needs a Hunting Buddy? They Suck and so do Clubs!
Then, one day out hunting all alone, I ran into this nice Lady trying to figure out how to run an AtPro...It was obvious this was her first time out, so I sauntered on over and started up a conversation in an effort to help the reputation of the Hobby of course...
Well, as we got to looking at her rig and getting it GB'd and all that, we got to talking about things...She told me her Husband just died a few months ago, left her with a massive fortune and no other heirs, and She needed to find something to do to fill in her lonely days...so she got a metal detector which she always wanted since she was a little girl growing up on a Kansas farm...
So yeah, I consoled her, offered her a non filtered smoke which she gladly accepted and totally enjoyed....then, as we relaxed in our company, I recited some poetry, a few lines from "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes, which showed her I was not a completely ignorant drunkin tosspot booboo and had a modicum of class...that set her at ease..chicks dig poetry...We dropped her Sens 3 clicks on the Pro and went Pro Zero mode..
We talked about Music and travel and how Life is one big adventure best experienced out of doors and how big this Planet is etc, how most people suck etc..We talked about the Perseid meteor shower and how it would be cool to view it from Greenland...drinking Coors Light Beer and smoking at night and then having unprotected sects beneath the shooting stars, running around buck wild nakid on top of an ancient glacier?
Did I mention she was a Victorias Secret Model? Also featured on the cover of SI's Swimsuit body paint edition a few years back? So......Even though I dont like hunting buddies, I have made an exception here...We have hunted the Globe as 'Hunting Buddies' for the past few years...flying into Fiji on Her G5 to work the sand, Globe Hopping to the Seychelles in season, theres no way we can ever spend off her inheritance, but we are sure trying! She likes my company on account of I have a very big 'personality' lets just say...
So yeah...dont paint yourself into a corner regarding dismissing the need for a Hunting Buddy...Not all hunting buddies are the same...Did I mention Mine has also been medically diagnosed as a "stage 10 Nymphomaniac with a One Lover obsession"? Yeah, theres some drawbacks, but WTH? She has a helicopter, calls me all the time, lands the damn thing right out here in the parking lot at my Olde Folks Sleepy Tyme neighborhood, and I gotta grab my gear and go!......My Wife of 50yrs dont give a Tinkers Cuss!...WTH is that noise? I just say thats my dmaned old Metal Detecting Buddy wanting to pick me up and go finds some pennies! She says, "tell that damned guy not to make so much noise!" I'm like Yeah, poor old bastard...well, thats a 1996 Mercury Marquis station wagon for you......
You think I'm, bullshiddinya? Well, YOU Started it!
You must have been hunting in Chester County!
