The opening day of deer season, the man wakes early and goes down stairs to brew coffee. He is surprised to see his wife sitting in the kitchen, dressed in day glo orange and holding a rifle. "What you doing?" he asks her. She replies: "Ive decided I am going deer hunting with you today." The man, knowing he would only make his wife mad if he said NO, consented. The couple drove to the location wher they would be hunting. The man says: "You go up in this her deer stand. If you see a deer, shoot it. Ill hear the shots and come running." As he walked off, he grinned to himself, knowing his wife couldnt hit the broad side of a barn, let alone a deer. So he took his position. After about 15 minutes, he hears all kinds of shooting coming from the direction of his wife in the treestand. So he takes off running in that direction. As he nears, he hears his wife yelling "get away from my deer!" then a bunch more shooting. He runs faster. Pretty soon, he sees a cowboy, standing there with his arms up in the air and hears his wife in the distance shouting "get away from my deer, I tell you!!". The cowboy, obviously distraught, yells back, "Okay lady, okay. You can have the deer. But let me get my saddle off it first!"

Kevin, Respectfully, only a MAN would think that funny.

I went hunting with my husband and one of his friends this last season. I was the only one who came home with a deer.

Last year in my county, we had a donkey and two goats shot during hunting season. All were shot by MEN!

Heard tis one? farmer wanted to protect hs stock during deer season. So he painted cow on the cows, horse on the horses, pig on the pigs,etc. Someone shot his tractor, it was a John Deere.

Kevin, I'm not sure, but I think that joke was suppose to have really happened here in Oklahoma. The first time I heard it was from a game warden who was suppose to know who the people are.

Hey, where I live, we get so many "city slickers" here in the county for deer season, that if they haven't gotten a deer by the last day, they get real desperate. I have a Jersey cow that is the exact color of a deer. She gets a blast of neon spray paint every year!

Rose, I'm with you. A couple of years ago Maggie got her first, and I was skunked! We don't need the venison to survive, but it is in my genes to hunt. And we NEVER waste an ounce of the take. Go screw yourself- Ted Kennedy! Come to think of it!---
