A tubby suburban dad watching hunting and adventure shows on TV and wondering could I do that? This is the chronicle of my adventures as I learn to learn to Forage, Hunt and Fish for food that has lived as I would wish to myself - Wild and Free.

Blood Thirsty Killer On The Bus
True Story: The rucksack is both big and full, it's Saturday evening and the bus is full too.
On a London bus there's a luggage space as you get on, I've wrestled the pack up on to it but there's no way I'm leaving it perched there to fall over so I'm standing next to it. Pretty Girl is standing next to me. The bus breaks and the pack lurches. I catch it before it crushes Pretty Girl. She smiles in thanks and says "that looks pretty serious"
SBW 'Probably weighs more than you, it's got half a deer in it'
Pretty Girl 'Road kill deer?'
SBW 'Nah I shot it this morning"
You should have seen the look on her face!
Gotta love the public

Please feel free to leave comments. I really enjoy hearing what readers think. The rules are the same as round my dinner table:
You're welcome to disagree, life would be way too boring if we all agreed with each other and we'd never learn anything.
I like to think that we're all grown up enough to argue every last point, right down to the bone, without bearing a grudge afterwards.
Come on in the waters lovely

Oh Man! If you were in Alaska that chance meeting would have led to a conversation about the hunt, the technique, field butchery, caliber selection,field marksmanship and you might have gotten "hooked up" before you knew it... up here nothing says "sexy provider" like a sack full of fresh meat...
ReplyDeleteFraid you're living in the wrong country mate! LOL

Love it.
ReplyDeleteI'd bet the look you saw was very similar to that I get we I tell someone that I raise rabbits for meat. It is priceless ... especially when you know that person eats meat, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat story :).
ReplyDeleteSBW,
ReplyDeleteAh you just painted a picture with this one, priceless.
Thanks guys
ReplyDeleteI just wish I could make 'em up that funny, but nothing is ever as well written as real life.

See, we don't have this problem in America because public transportation here sucks.

ReplyDeleteOh trust me, it sucks here too. But the parking! Ai Yi Yi

Even in Alaska (or here in West Virginia), it's probably still too much trouble to haul animal carcasses on the bus just to meet women. Then again, it WOULD sort the wheat from the chaff!

ReplyDeleteYou've hit the nail on the head, I thought I was being remarkably restrained, the deer was well wrapped!

Thanks for the laugh this morning! You'd probably get arrested for doing that here and probably make the evening news. LOL

ReplyDeleteGood, still chuckling about it myself
