    I have been pretty lucky with hunting over the years, I live in a great area for deer, and my spouse never even gives me (the look) when i go hunting.

    Well...........
    But as luck goes i am very bad at the casino,if i need a light switch to be on it wont.I have sank my boat twice the first time my to be wife was in it.....
    been in intensive care twice, Trama center two more times,Two treestand falls,three near fatal car crashes
    ran over by a tractor,atv, horse,kicked bitten by the same.
    Shot by my own brother during shotgun turkey season. stabbed with a bear broadhead arrow in my arm on my birthday by a friend.wrecked a racing atv @ 70 mph and put the handle bar threw my ribs and punctured a lung and tore three ribs off my spine, that one put me in the glass room naked on a table for six hours while everyone points at you and intensive care for a week, and nothing in this world is more painful than a chest tube with a punctured lung, i would rather die.next time.
    this has been going on for 48 years, fell out the window of a moving car when i was four,whooping cough when i was two.and the list goes on ..really it does.

    ok wife maybe looking at the life insurance policy at this point

    but ok the luck side of hunting ... well lets say odds i can tell during the rut where and when the deer will use my stand setups call it a gift but i play the odds and move brush over trails i dont want to use and hunt spot that i dont mind tipping the deer of to my presence in my less the ideal spots only to move them to my good funnel that i only hunt during the rut and only during prime wind conditions.
    as you can see i am unlucky but the odds are in my camp during the rut and i can role 7's when i come to sealing the deal on a deer.

    So odds are i am going to die a horrible death but if i am lucky it will be at the horns of a monster whitetail deer.

    this is meant to be funny but these thing happen to me all the time. I have my own folder when i go to the hospital,card with all my info in my wallet sealed in plastic. ya gotta laugh:D or die trying.;)

    wait a minute i think i know why every one is busy when i ask the to do something with me....
