Opening Day of "modern firearms" deer season is basically a holiday here in Area 2 of Northwest Louisiana, and it's this Saturday, October 25.

And yes ladies, I know that some of you deer hunt too, but for the most part, deer camps are the place where we guys get to be guys.

One of my favorites is the way other guys judge the buck you just took. "Man, he would have been a good one next year."

But that's what makes the deer camp so special. You better wear your big boy britches when you show up or you'll get your feelings hurt every time.

Course, there are a few things that cross the line and this should cover most all of them.
