Like most ol'boys, the farmer has bad knees - so he travels lite.
A thermos of hot coffee, a cold meat sandwich(nothing with sprouts tho) and a rifle - any ol' rifle will do(a 30-30 is still best)...but no more than that!
After a large breakfast all cook in one big iron skillet - can't tell where the eggs stop and the buscuits and gravy begins.
He heads to the deer woods, later than most, but with a full belly and he knows where the little eatin' deer are.
No deer scents, grunt calls, rattlin' horns or fox urine for him!

My dad was a farmer and he never bothered to bring coffee or food with him. Camel cigarettes yes! but non essentials like food??? Of course he was on "home turf" and the diners were never very far off. I miss him every day.

Is this just a short story? Or is there a point or question to your post?

Battle, as you can tell - places like Cabela's would soon go outta business with these old fellers...maybe a box of bullets every other year or so.
I see carts over-flowing with these deer things at our local hunter's supermarket.

This old farmer and his wife would make breakfast for my brother and I, later he'd shoot a little one, and tell us to go after the big ones.
...and this is what he took to his stand them frosty so many years ago.

I have some of the best deer hunting in the country, but i can not sit in a stand. As long as there are good bird dogs and quail to be found. I can not go hunting without a box of shells, My favorite old double, and a great Setter.
Too much fun and alot of action. Never had it so good sitting still and freezing in a tree stand.

You are missing one of the rites of late fall double A.
But!
Give me a couple of days chasing deer, and then I'll be duck hunting - with my Labs.
You take what the land gives you!
