I will start this by stating no one here enjoys an ice cold Corona with lime or Beck's Dark that is allowed to sit in the freezer until right before the point of freezing more than I do. I repeat for the record, a good cold beer is refreshing.
That said, I always flinch when I see Anheuser Busch sponsoring an outdoors show that features the use of deadly weapons. It is a free country and I know AB has done alot to help DU and other worthwhile Hunting Concerns but guns and beer do not mix neither does beer go with compound bows.
Now I know I will strike a sore point with the next statement but I cannot see where any alcoholic beverage has any place on a hunt where weapons are present.
I admit after a day of dove hunting when the gun is unloaded, I have popped a top. I will also go as far to tell you as a younger, more stupid hunter, I have even consumed beer all day while Pheasant hunting with my friends at an undisclosed location in the Midwest.
All this said, I have made it a policy not to have alcohol and weapons in the same vehicle nor to partake of any such substance while on a hunt----------even if it's the end of the day.
I thank God I have not been killed or injured while hunting while booze was present. I am also thankful that I never hurt or killed anyone else. All this said how do you come down on the issue of booze and hunting?
