    Now Jeff, if you have time to black powder hunt, surely you have time to get me a kilt done in advantage. I won't tell anyone, just between you & me. And, I'll even drive up and sit in the woods with you.
    Um, you don't have any access to good grouse cover do you?

    Honest, I won't tell these other guys.

    If any of the guys I hunt with ever took a drink of any kind of alcohol during a hunt, they would be asked to leave and never come back. After the sun is down, and our camp cook is preparing supper, A bottle of fine bourbon or maybe even some good Scotch might be offered around, but even then, no one gets drunk. Everyone might have one or at the max two drinks and these are drank slowly and enjoyed to the fullest while discussing the days hunt. I even turned this down this evening after a day afield with my Knight muzzle loader because I had to drive back home.

    JerMc, I am not a hunter, but I would like to say hats off to you and your friends. Too many social occasions that include drinking of any kind can get out of hand with people over-indulging. Not pointing fingers or casting dispersions on anyone. Just that too many people don't think of the consequences of drinking and many other dangerous activities, like driving, drilling a hole, hunting, building a fire, etc..
