beers in the afternoon

Nicely said.

 

The antis are coming!

I can hear it now "those hunters are drinking beer, ban hunting now". Remove hunters and hunting and insert fisherman and fishing. Sounds equally ridiculous, but I'm sure nobody here drinks beer while they're fishing. Hell, insert any hobby there.

 

Don't get me wrong fellas I'm not for getting drunk and hunting or even drinking while hunting it's just a topic that struck me as having the potential to highlight hypocrisy(sp?).

 

Having a beer or 2 with lunch and then going out hunting is one thing......bringing beer to the stand, like some have said they do, is on a different level of stupidity.

Compare that with cracking a few beers WHILE behind the wheel......if you want to use your previous analogy.

 

I follow you but open containers and drinking anything while driving is a ticket not necessarily a dui but a ticket for sure as opposed to having a beer on a stand in the woods which as far as I have read is not illegal unless your state has a zero tolerance law on alcohol while hunting, which many might. I don't really know. What if you pack your cooler in and you pull out your lunch and eat it on the stand or in the blind then wash it down with a beer, how is that different than having a beer or 2 for lunch then going hunting?

 

I sometimes drink a beer or two while fishing...the fish always seem bigger that way.

 

IMO...no difference whatsoever.

 

Ive drank beer and hunted.
Ive drank and drove.
Ive been drunk behind the wheel.
Ive sped.
Ive commited a crime or 3.
I have done illegal drugs.
I have commited adultry.
Ive peed in public.
Ive cussed in a church.
Ive contemplated eating yellow snow.
Ive parked on the right side of the street during a snow ban.
I once shot a kitten.

 

I like to drink to give my mock scrapes a little "extra"

 

When the sun sets and we retreat to our truck.We start a fire after changing cloths and open the cooler of Labatts Blue.
I've had a few while practicing,but while on stand no,I pee enough with coffee in me.
remember ''u can't buy beer only rent it!''
The tree natizs(game comm)would shoot u on sight with a beer,then hang u,then kill u'r whole family,dig up loved ones and pee on their rotting corpses.......

 

Caleb..... nevermind

And also, is thread really happening? .... I thought the last new guy was way out in left field. Who opened the flood-gates?

 

thats what i like to hear everything's social correctness these days lets keep it old school

 

I believe you and I don't like kiitens either.

 

So, anyone mainline a little coke or cook up a nice batch of meth while on stand? How bout just enjoying a little acid or a joint or two? Just curious...................afterall, its so peaceful in the woods, wouldnt that just add a little something to the wonderment of it all?

 

i save my beer for after the hunt. never a good idea to do while hunting.

 

The word "jackwagon" repeats in my head as I read this thread. Dan's response was spot on. I've done plenty wrong and alot of involved alcohol, but even at my finest, I never thought it wise/fun/interesting to take a beer with me while hunting. Unless you're blitzed and gonna shoot another hunter, the only one you're gonna hurt is you. I'm not offended by it, I just think your a moron who can't wait for a beverage until after you get out of the woods. Edit: insert smilie faces to make sure nobody tears up.

 

What does being in the minority have to do with knowing right from wrong?

 

i remember when budwiser had a commerical that said when the hunt is through, this buds for you. for those of you who looked up your states law about hunting and drinking keep in mind that under the influance and while intoxicated have differnt meanings

 

as i mentioned in the whats in your back pack thread , i mentioned i have a can of beer for after i gut my deer or the walk back to my truck at the end of the day , a beer a day wont hurt anyone infact its good for your cholestoral .
