Last month, I asked you to finish the sentence: “You may be deer crazy if…,” which you did with such great deft and humor that instead of picking 10 to go in our new book “The Total Deer Hunter Manual,” we went with almost 30.

Below are the winners, in no particular order (some reworked a bit; sorry that’s what editors do). Many thanks to all, and we’ll be contacting the winners soon about your free copy of the book when it comes out in the fall.

My uncle's wife left him during deer season and he didn't notice for over a month. Hard core. Hell he had a cabin in the woods he never came home to notice... some guys are lucky like that.
