Jake is looking forward to the first day of a Texas deer hunt. As he comes downstairs at about 4 in the morning, really steamed up and about to get a last cup of coffee - he finds his wife, Alice, sitting there in full camo. She tells him she wants to go along.

Jake is full of doubts but says OK.

He puts her up in a tree stand located on the edge of the woods and tells her to aim very carefully. He walks off - confident that she couldn't hit an elephant much less a mule deer -but she'll be out of his hair for the day.

Jake is about to get up into his own tree stand when he hears rifle fire from the direction of Alice's stand. Then he definitely hears his wife scream: " I got him! I got him!". He starts running. Against comes another fusillade of shots and he hears his wife screaming" " Stay away from my deer!"

Jake gets to the clearing and sees a trembling cowboy holding his hands up.

The cowboy says: " Please, lady! Don't shoot! He's your deer! Just let me get my saddle off him!"
