The Ozarks Culture makes all the pickups disappear this time of year.

Driving home from work today I noticed there was no traffic on the road at all.  Matter of a fact, I haven't seen any pickups in their normal parking places at the cafes, watering holes, driveways, hardware store, barber shop or even at the local walmart.  Why are all those pickup trucks missing and where did they go?  Suddenly my mind flashed back to that big buck that walked across the road in front of me and I realized, it is the annual migration of adults and youth into the woods for deer season a ritual hunting rite in the Ozarks.  Construction, service and contact all stops in this local culture, as far as the hunters go, during deer hunting season and that is why there are no pickup trucks in sight, anywhere.  So if you need to get ahold of anyone of the hunter culture this time of year, you may as well just wait till the season ends and all the pickups come back, then you can get your work done again.  I love the winter but after almost freezing to death hunting a couple years ago, I am letting those younger hunters have all the fun now.
