One year I had the game warden show up at my camp the night before opening morning of elk season. He told me my wife had gone into labor early and I had better get my butt off the mountain because she sounded a little stressed out when he talked to her on the phone. Her due date wasn't for two weeks yet and my elk season was only a week long, so I figured I had a week to spare. That hunting season ended up being a bust though, turned out it was only false labor so after two days of contractions and nothing happening, I headed back to elk camp only to find out my buddies had broken camp because a huge snowstorm was rolling in.
