XPost: HELP! I Think I Am Becoming Elmer Fudd

So, I went deer hunting this weekend.  Wintry weather rolled in and opening morning found me in my stand facing a 20-30 MPH North wind with a bit of rain, sleet and snow mixed in.  Unlike years past, I walked the half mile from the hunting shack to my stand without breaking out in a sweat or being out of breath.  Well, over the next three hours, I saw no deer and felt as cold as I have been in my adult life to the point of actually feeling my man parts rattle.  I went back to camp and rummaged through old clothes we had there and found a size 46 black and red plaid "Elmer Fudd " wool coat and an old pair of wool hunting pants that I had ripped the crotch out of several years ago.  The coat fit perfectly (I haven't worn that size since I was in college in the early 80's), but the pants were 8 inches too big around the waist.  I tied the pants up with a string and put on the Elmer Fudd jacket under my 3X blaze orange hunting parka and headed back into the woods.  I must have been quite a sight!  I didn't see a deer all weekend, except for the one crossing the road in front of my truck as we were about a mile from camp (I might have said a few magic words about then).  In the end, I was again thankful for the results of this surgery, even if I am becoming a cartoon character.

Yes, but the hat is blaze orange (it's the law now in MN)

Where's the photo?!  How great that you could walk a half mile without getting winded or sweaty.  Figures the only deer you saw was while you weren't in the stand. Better luck next year, and next year, don't forget the picture!
