marenziI'm still a little confused, but life seems to be good? It really shouldn't be, but I've been ridiculously happy. Which is maybe just hormones, but I'm not complaining!
Spent last weekend down in Blacksburg with family and went hunting. Spent a total of 16 hours out freezing my ass off, but got two good shots off. We were using old-school muzzleloaderslike Dean omg because rifle season doesn't begin until Saturday. The muzzleloaders took a few rounds to get used to, but I've always been a fairly good shot and I kept the clusters tight.
First shot was Saturday morning, but it was deflected by a branch that didn't show in the scope. It was clearly high so the deer ran away just fine, thankfully. And then Saturday night I got a buck - perfectly clean shot, into the lungs just about the heart, so he went down almost immediately. Only had spikes, but he was pretty large and we got a lot of meat off of him - and I'm in no way a trophy hunter anyway. Already went down to the food bank to donate half, as always, which makes me feel so good. I can barely buy my own food, but I can still help out.
I know that hunting makes a lot of people uncomfortable (hence the cut). But I'm finding that there are a LOT of misconceptions about it - like that we waste good meat or ignore injuries or that overpopulation's just an excuse. And that frustrates me. I think a part of hunting is helping other people understand that it's a social and economic necessity in some areas. For the record, I'm totally open to answering any questions here.
As of Tuesday, my 26-hour cells labYES over one full day of my life WASTED goddamnit is DONE. And today I took the test and failed but whatever, it's all over with!
ANYWAY. Enough srs bzns. Plz to be noticing androgynous!Kristen Stewart.
EDIT: OH MY GOD MY MOTHER IS WATCHING JENSEN'S EYE OF THE TIGER RIGHT NOW. ON REPEAT. AM DYING.
