Dear Reader:
Please accept our deepest apologies for the previous post. Normally, company policy precludes allowing anyone who drinks Miller Lite from weighing on such matters of import as guns and liquor. However, the night watchman apparently fell asleep and failed to be vigilant in his service. Naturally, he’s been transferred to management.
To clarify our official corporate position: Yes, guns and beer go very well together. If you’re out deer hunting before dawn, chances are you’re already back at the shack by noon, or maybe stuck field dressing a buck. As experienced hunters know, this gets to sucking. And when things suck, they always suck a little less with beer — especially when you’re heavily armed with guns and boning knives. That’s just common sense.
Thank you for your patience.

Ha. That was very amusing and very true. After a long day, we are ready for camp, a fire, and that elusive beer.

I enjoy this cocktail post-hunting. Actually, I don’t go hunting. I go killing. “Hunting” implies the possibility of failure. Anyway, try this drink with your killing buddies:
“ANTLER FUZZ”
Ingredients:
1 empty metal can
1 can of Busch beer (preferably from the camo 12 pack).
1 bottle of Angostura Bitters.
At least 4 ounces of fresh deer blood.
1 shot of El Toro tequila.
Coat the inside of the empty metal can (soup cans work well)with Angostura Bitters. Add 4 ounces of deer blood. Add Busch beer to the rim. Stir.
Insist that one of your killing buddies takes the first drink. Call him a pussy, and insist it is a manly tradition. As he drinks the concoction, laugh like a madman and do the shot of tequila in celebration. Tell your buddy he probably now has “mad deer” disease and giggle like a schoolgirl as he vomits.
