good advice...

[FARMTOFIELD]

Stopped at an old store the other day during a midday break to grab a drink before we hit the woods. This is one of those places that has dust still setting on the canned food from '86 and you dont eat anything unless it has a new date on it, the owner is a quiet bearded man that rarely speaks I'm sure most everyone has been in one of those stores.

Anyway I grab me a drink and checkout and the owner says,

Do any good today?

Me: No sir them birds have kicked our tails from one side of the county to the other.

Him: well son, let me tell you, it means a hell of a lot more to them than it does to you.

I'll never forget that advice and I still crack up when I think about it.

He does have a point.

 

[pledbetter]

[tickweed]

[woodsman87]

Never thought of it like that.

 

[Deerhunter]

Yeah, I'd say he is right.

 

[MMHunter]

Makes you think...

There was an old store like that where I used to hunt. It was an old lady and took her forever to check in a turkey but it was the only store between there and home. She would always weigh them on the scales that look like the ones at the deli in Walmart. She served some food there too but I never asked what she used the scales for

No advice though, she never talked much.
