779.0. "BOOM GOES THE ALARM CLOCK!" by ODIXIE::RHARRIS () Thu Sep 27 1990 17:51

    Last night when I got home from my second job, I got my Field and
    Stream magazine from the mailbox.  So, here I am, laying in bed with an
    ice cold beer, 11:30 p.m., reading a magazine on deer.  Needless to
    say, we all know what I dreamed of.  23 days till the opener.  I
    envisioned(pardon the spellin) sitting in my stand, on an ice cold
    morning, admiring the serenity of the woods.  The sun had not arisen
    yet.  My rifle was on my lap, and I was leaning against the tree giving
    off as little movement as possible.  Dawn was just over the ridge. 
    "Boy, my toes are cold!"  I heard a crunching sound over the ridge,
    sort of like one of our hunting club buddies walking to his stand.  So
    I paid little attention to it.  But wait, you should be alert to EVERY
    sound in the woods.  So I tried to spot movement in the dark woods.  Oh
    my god, what a buck!!!!  At least eight points.  So I bring the rifle
    to it, line up my shot, slowly squeeze the trigger ,  and
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    RINNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!  
    
    
    The alarm clock goes off and it is time for work.  Oh well, one day
    closer to the opener.  Have a nice of work. RIGHT!!!

    Randy, you squeezed the trigger and what went off???
    

    Lenny,
    
    It's Bob(robert).  What went off?  That depends on how big the rack
    was.
    
    18 days and counting...
