They asked the coach and the coach said yes, I told the kids to go down and take care of those two.  End result he kept coaching and no more was said.  A friends daughter as a senior went to every practice that my kid was also at and not once for even one second did she play in a game.  And no one including me said anything.Raising 5 kids in a class b school who all were part of every sports program and summer program,  there are good coaches and buttheads and no the buttheads do not get fire in a high school setting.  For what ever reason the Valley city, Mayville state ect teaching schools fail to teach the whole concept of being a coach. Many parents do not understand.  Punishment for missing one practice for a family event, having practice on holidays, only allowing your players to take part in open gym during the off season, practice on Wednesday that was at one time a church night for the kids (and God forbid if he or she chose the church), the list goes on, no.Yes we were hunting by food and that is not like patterning without food.  Made that statement and  I agree with your statement.  And yes the handful of times I have hunted mule deer who knows where they will be at times.  The only thing when the mule deer sees you it does not normally run like hell in the other direction as a whitetail will.  I believe I can stalk a mule deer but a whitetail, I doubt if I have that patience or ability. Bow hunting mule deer for me would be find where laying and then try to get close enough to let a arrow go.I really did enjoy your comments and do thank you for them.  db</blockquote>
