No more campfire shenanigans

[RealNick]

Just reminiscing with some mates.

I'm sure we were all the same in younger days. Carrying on around the campfire with too much booze, laughing when someone trips over a log in the bush while they're off taking a slash in the dark. Stuff yourself with some tucka and crash until the late morning.

Now it's no booze for me thanks with the shooting. Better turn in early for the morning.

Hunting's made us a boring bunch

Nothing like a good night sleep and no hangover to get ready for a day out terrorising the ferals.

I have a drink sometimes after the shootings done, its nice to have a few drinks around a campfire, I don't drink much at all these days but I do enjoy a couple around a fire when I feel like it.

gone are the days that i could have a skinful and still be bright eyed and bushy tailed now its more bushy tongue/ bleary eyed

i have a couple after the shoot but only when the bang sticks are put away

Oh for the "old days" when we'd put a can baked beans at edge of the camp fire till the ends were bulged out then shoot it with a 22. From a long ways off!

[Noisydad]

P. S. A tip. Don't touch the bulged baked bean cans with a can opener....

Yeah that's why you a .22 .. Instant Mount Vesuvius.
It doesn't work these days though, most bean tins have pop tops that won't hold any preasure.
Yes.. gone are the days

It's a good setting for a drink.

One or two does me. Don't have the liver of a young man any more

maybe not hunting so much as age experience and wisdom.
I feel sorry for youngsters these days they ae not allowed to learn the way we did and I think it shows.
However I wouldn' let my kids do half the things I did when I was a kid ironic huh? but I still let them do their own thing as much as possible to the disbelieving looks of other parents.

It's really just the booze I suppose.

Even if finished for the day I don't have a drink until the guns are back in the safe.

Or unless there is a licensed 'designated driver' with the group to be responsible for them. Not that we do anything stupid or get plastered anyway, but just with the 'under the influence' comments in the legislation without a specified limit it's good peace of mind to have someone licensed who's 0.0 so there can be no doubt everything's under control.
