The Orange Man.


I see this man whenever I go to work. The first time I saw him, he kind of startled me. I'm not sure why, but I knew that there was something "off" about him. When I got closer I saw that it was fake.

When hunting started a few weeks ago this man got his blaze orange on. He's looking very stylish! But he needs more orange. He's missing the orange pants and orange cap. Either a ball cap or a stocking hat. I have seen both. The men down here are manly men! They don't think that orange makes them look like a sissy or look fat! ( I would never wear all orange! Somebody would try to carve me as I would look like a pumpkin!)

Maybe the orange man is going to go hunting for the orange deer?
I see a lot of deer that have the orange vest on them, but I was hoping that I would be able to find a deer family that was all decked out in orange. They could put some pants and a hat on them and really make them stand out! No such luck. Oh well
A little haiku for you.
Be still! Be quite!
Wear orange, that will keep you safe!
You don't have a chance!

  1. I've seen the "orange man" twice now when driving over to the Grain Bin for our Saturday morning cinnamon rolls! I think it's rather cute to have a fake deer hunter standing guard in this wooded area. Some people just have creative ideas I guess. Maybe at Christmas you'll see Santa standing out in the field!

  2. I think he's a bit spooky. Although I like the deer in hunter orange vests. Are people really worried someone is going to shoot their fake deer, or are they just having fun?
