You know you're a Redneck if your billfold is full of business cards to all the local taxidermists, contains 2 concealed weapon carry permits, and a hunting and fishing license.
That is what I found in my husband's billfold when I cleaned it out a few weeks ago. It made me laugh. That's my husband. He loved hunting.
It's almost that time again. I miss him getting ready for deer season to open. He'd be going through all of his equipment and making sure he had everything he needed and going out scouting trying to find the best tree to put his deer stand on. He'd be so excited. And every time we'd go to Walmart he would head to the sporting goods section. I actually found myself walking through the hunting section the other day at Walmart. It's tradition.
I know I'm going to miss all of his hunting stories this fall. He always told me there was something so special about being in the woods on a cool crisp autumn morning as the sun started to rise. He would be alone with God sitting up there on his tree stand and watching and listening as the woods would come alive. Good Memories.
Psalm 42:1
As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
Great memories .. and nothing wrong with being a redneck... ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! At least Jerry was organized. My husband waits till the night before
ReplyDeletegun season. Then he goes through the house like a cyclone trying to gather
his hunting gear up. It's quiet a sight. Of course, Dale has wonderful
memories of going hunting with Jerry in Sebree.

Well, I sent you a comment but now I don't see it so I'll try again. If you get two that are about the same, I am sorry. I love this post. Our friend, Rodney Pritchard went home to be with the Lord two weeks ago tomorrow. He was also an avid deer hunter. His wife Linda will be experiencing the same emotions as you as deer season approaches. When I read your blog to my husband he said to tell you that they are both in the happy hunting ground now. If they did not know each other on earth, I'm sure the Lord has introduced them by now.
