Oh my my, here in Wisconsin we no doubt have a state contingent of folks that repeatedly are drawn by the Sturgis, SD magnetism. Some have cycles on the brain, a kind of incurable disease spread virally partially due to our nation’s transportation model infrastructure. Yeah, no doubt there are other social reasons.

We also have serious hunters who every year enjoy various fall hunting seasons with bow & arrow, guns, etc. The big gun hunt is usually around Thanksgiving and many head out to the countryside or ‘up north’ for some serious hunting. Hmm, <dramatic pause>…

I’d say some huge chunk of these people, usually males(?) are headed out for a kind of recreational hunting, if you smell what I’m stepping in, you know letting the old mullet or hair down, catch up with the guys, hit lots and lots of bars, meet lots of locals, <Burp!> etc.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin housewives noticed this trend, since normally they are not provided with guns and rights to attend hunting parties, rather, many times only cadres of males allowed. Okay. These abandoned housewives don’t head out gossiping at Tupperware parties, no, it’s off to Lake Geneva, Wis. and some raucous all male dance review something like The Village People hell bent on sporting their skimpy leather chaps, YeeHaw! <insert lady burp here>

So hunting season many times is more about a dude party than loading up the freezer or mounting some multi-point-buck in the living room, whatever. Yeah, every year a certain contingent of married men are effectively MIA.
