We were standing in line before daylight to get our Primitive Weapons permit at Little River WMA one time and I had my dark RayBans on and was holding on to my buddy's jacket sleeve. I could hear people whispering, "that sumbitch is blind". A couple of times I'd say something like, "Man, I just hope I hear something today". 3 different guys asked my buddy, "Where are y'all hunting?" No one was gonna hunt anywhere close to the blind dude with a muzzleloader.

Another time we were standing in line about 5am and when we were about 2 people away from the Warden's shack there were 2 rifle shots maybe a mile away. One of the Warden's looked at the other and said, "Somebody's getting an early start", and just kept handing out permits.
