I just got back from my old friend Wallace Fennell's hunting camp........ The day I got there he nailed a very nice 8 point buck...... Not a monster mind but, a very handsome fellow who should eat very well.........
As soon as I entered upon the scene, the Becker Deer Jinx appeared out of nowhere ....... Last year was similar in many respects but, not as all encompassing....... Last year the jinx did NOT seem to affect those around me........ This year, if I was in the neighborhood, nothing harvestable showed up around Wallace either........I had two afternoons when I neither saw, nor heard so much as a freaking squirrel....... Saturday afternoon I noted the rustle of a single leaf at 5:17 pm....... It was disheartening to say the least....... After I left and before Wallace so much as actually got in the damn woods a LARGE 8 pointer screamed and pleade to be shot and, of course Wallace did........And sooooo.....
A plea for help..... Please use whatever karmic juice you have to kick start the departure of my deer jinx to ANY other place...... Preferably to some nasty wretch in Timbuktu or Outer Slobovia or maybe send it to Putin Or Jihadi John......
All pleas to alleviate the dreaded Becker's Deer Jinx will be greatly appreciated.........
Thank You in advance for your help......

PS ......
Had a great time with my friend and mentor....... We ate well, shot a little sporting clays, swapped just a couple of marginal truths, solved most of the world's problems(I am sure you have noted a healing trend) and spent some great time in a lovely patch of Eastern Hardwood Forest........
