Wife's Hunting Trip Ends in a Surprise
Story★★★For years Franks’ wife begged him to take her hunting. He put her off as long as he could, but finally gave in. They went to a placed where big bucks were likely to be found. He placed his wife where she could get a good clear shot at any deer that came along. Then he trudged through the underbrush to another location about a half-mile away. Before he could even get up in his tree stand he heard two shots.
“Oh no!” he thought, “if she gets a deer before me I’ll never live this down!”
Then he hears his wife screaming, “Step back! That’s my deer!” As he raced through the woods he could see his wife aiming her rifle at a man whose hands were raised high above his head. She yelled again, “I said step away! That’s my deer!”
As Frank arrived on the scene the man yelled, “Okay, Lady. You can have your deer. Just give me a minute to get my saddle off of him.”
The point
A man reluctantly takes his wife hunting; she mistakes a man on horseback for a deer, leading to a humorous confrontation.
