   And most of them are alcohol related. A lot of city-boy hunters go out
for the big manhood ritual (this does not apply to *all* hunters, many of
whom are my friends). Part of the ritual is drinking lots of beer and 
playing with the guns. A bad combination. I live in the woods and usually
keep my stereo going and make lots of other noise during hunting season.
