We've all done it; something that seemed like such a good idea at the time and then, in hindsight, was just plain silly. Reading the news yesterday though I've got to wonder if Marcel Fournier of Vermont should get some kind of award for extreme bad ideas. You see Marcel is a hunter but he doesn't believe in playing by the rules. The rules were no killing of anterless deer (does) and no hunting at night. This guy bagged himself a deer (at night) but then went on to use bolts and epoxy to attach a 10-point antler rack to the head of the doe. The game warden figured it out when the antlers felt loose. I guess the bolts and glue weren't as visible as one might think.
This hunter was sentenced to 10 days in jail and won't qualify for a state hunting, fishing or trapping licence for at least three years. I'm thinking they should've gone a step further. Out here there's a restaurant called Montana's Cookhouse . When it's your birthday you get to wear a moose head hat while everyone in the place sings happy birthday. In the name of entertaining your kids on your own special day, I admit to wearing the moose head. I think Marcel Fournier should've been sentenced to wear the moose hat for a year wearing a t-shirt that says "I bolted antlers to the head of a deer".
Speaking of birthdays ... well kind of... how did you celebrate your last special day?

Even better would have been forcing HIM to wear those antlers. *g*
You're right, Tori! lol :)
I like your idea Tori.
I went to see a Broadway musical on my last birthday.
Any plans for your day?
Whow - I don't believe reading this today and you ask how one celebrated their special day. This is my birthday. I am turning 59 today.
I went to lunch yesterday with a dear friend. I ate at Ryans with my husband last Friday with my gift certificate for a free dinner/with purchase of one last Friday.
This coming Sat. I am going to Chili's with my youngest daughter and family.
I am planning to serve angel food cake and orange ice cream bars tonight to boys I teach at church.
As I am married to a Deputy and hunter, I had to laugh at how stupid some men are. I agree he should have to wear those antlers.
Dru, a musical is a great way to spend a birthday! I'm water-sliding it on my day ... or I should say the kids are lol!
Squiresj, happy birthday! Mine is tomorrow :) Sounds like you've had a lot of fun celebrating your day. I'm sure your Deputy/hunter would agree with you about the antlers he he!
