Wow. We have some control issues happening here. Deer hunting season is short.
There are not 364 other days to do it. It's a real bonus for a deer hunter to
have holiday time so that he can go hunting. Deer hunting is usually a morning
thing, or late afternoon, so he could do his hunting and be back right after
dark, which is a good time for a nice hearty meal.

But nooooooo...... you family had supper at lunch time so you have to rain on his
parade.

However, I draw the line at drinking and shooting. The deer hunters I know retire
to the cabin for beverages. Only fools drink while they are hunting. If he is
one of those guys who drinks while he hunts I wouldn't let him back in the
trailers. Make him sleep under the porch with the hounds.

I am starting to see why he prefers the company of his friends.

Good luck
