Hugging tree's in Missouri Nov 11 2007 I hugged this tree for two and a half days before I realized the vine growing on it was poison ivy. I was covered. Althought I think there is something almost spiritual about sitting in a treee for 12 hours. Being "one" with nature. Observing it, my sister siad she's a tree hugger too. She said sometimes she gets a little tree sick if its windy and it starts blowing around too much. I kind of like the accasional breases that come by and stirr the trees. I was a little dissapointed that we didn't kill a pile of deer but it was still such a great trip (except for the poison ivy) it was a great time. If my dirtbag customers pay me the money they owe me I'll go in the spring for Turkey hunting, although I have absoluutely no desire to shoot a turkey. They can't be as good as a Butterball. >;o) I'd rather shoot a coyote.
