Default Anyone care to share their favorite Christmas hunting story?

Not YOUR story, I'm talking about published works about hunting around Christmas time..etc. At this time of year reading stuff like that in front of a fire with a dog on your lap can be a great gift. If you have any stories from books, or magazines, please share what you like. Years ago I read a wonderful story in Grays about a Christmas goose but have been unable to find it. Not sure where to post this as it doesn't have to be about Parkers, or birds. Deer hunting is fine. I'm even open to stories revolving around Christmas cooking with wild game.

Or, if there's nothing, give me a Christmas wild game recipe : )

Andy: Two birds with one...one of my favorites, Bill Headrick's story, "The Gift", in DGJ, Vol. 3 Issue 4, and a recipe for roast goose follows!

There was the year Harry and I left Christmas morning to head up to Currituck Sound to hunt ducks . . .

Nothing special , but I always liked to be sitting in a treestand Xmas morning watching the sunrise . And a few times I had a deer or two hanging then back in the house before the others were awake .

Craig sounds odd but I bet most of us feel closer to our creator in a tree stand. Others just won’t get it.

Glad you asked. Robert Ruark's Somebody else's turkey tastes better found in The old man and the boy. I just re-read it and it always brings back great memories of past Christmases. I can smell the food ,feel the cold and all in all it is the best i have read.

Lord knows I’ve had plenty good moments perched high in a tree and also gotten some deep deep sleep while perched high in a tree .
