All across South Texas, silent and apparently empty deer blinds will every 30 minutes have a stream of pee emenate from them.

Hell, my 22-250 even has a cup holder.

Great post, Wang-ka. Nicely done.

When you’re a little older you’ll learn to time your piss with the automatic corn feeder.

BTW, I graduated from McAllen High. Is that close?

You Southerners jest don’ know how ta’ hunt, does ya’?

Ya’ goes out before dawn ta da spot what you scouted out a couple-three weeks ago.

Then ya’ freezes yer arse off for five-six hours. And ya don’ see nuttin’.

Then, AND ONLY THEN, does ya’ go fer the chili 'n beer.

Pikers.

You have to dress up funny to get drunk? A yank can dress up funny for no reason at all.

You gotta bait deer with corn feeders to actually try and shoot one? A yank will freeze his ass off (cuz it’s cold in our deer season) just hoping a deer will wander close by with no incentive.

You probably think chili should have beans too.

Damn Texans. No wonder god made armadillos. So you guys can eat something on the half-shell.  
So anyway… got any pics of your sister? I might be interested in a deer lease 🙂

Eh, get off the high horse. I live in the north, and I know a lot of people who could have written something like that.  
I live next door to a grain bit that’s been converted into a room, the ‘buck hut’. Insulated walls and ceiling, wood burning stove, cable TV, it’s **the** gathering place after a cold day of deer hunting.

And baiting deer is really illegal here, IIRC.

I always know when the hunters have been through the Posted property behind my house.

One of 'em’s got himself a tree stand within sight of my back porch. After he’s used it once or twice, his beer cans drift into my yard.

Damn does he drink. I’m amazed he doesn’t fall right out the tree.

Bin, not bit. I usually don’t post corrections, but that one is a bit hard to figure out.

[This](http://www.uky.edu/Agriculture/PAT/recs/crop/grbin.jpg), but singular, slightly smaller, and with a small chimney out the top.
