Hey, ever notice how guns and alcohol always seem to go together? When I lived in Wisconsin, I used to love to canoe the lakes and rivers of the Kettle Moraine. Autumn was a particularly beautiful time for canoeing - until I got spooked. I was alone in the only canoe out on a lake one perfect afternoon, and I started to notice all the duck blinds that surrounded the lake. Then I realized that the blinds were full of guys with guns who were drinking large quantities of brandy.
Haven't gone canoeing during hunting season since then. Luckily, most of the best canoe places here in Northern California are places that don't permit hunting.
