Todd and I taught our friends Troy and Rebekah a new game on Friday night. It is called
"The Hunter and the Deer."
It is a Bonner Family Favorite that is played during just about any large family gathering: Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. It was so delightful to play that I thought I would inform my readers of the rules, so that you may, if you wish, add it to your family repertoire of games. Number of Players:
Two at a time, but having a large audience truly adds to the enjoyment
(everyone rotates through the positions)
Setup:
1. Find a large piece of furniture that the players can walk completely around (you may have to move things around). This can be a couch or a table, for example.
2. Blindfold both players.
3. One player is designated the Hunter, the other player becomes the Deer.
Play:
Everyone in the room must be SILENT. The hunter then circles the table trying to grab the deer, while the deer tries to avoid getting caught!
Rules:
1. Maintain contact with the table/couch at all times.
2. No going under or over the table.
3. Hunter must GRAB the deer - touching is not enough.
For those of you who are visual learners, we have included a sample video of Todd and me playing. Todd is the Hunter, I am the Deer. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER:
Those with a weak heart shouldn't play; the anticipation of being chased could kill you!

I can't believe you did not teach us this game when you lived here!! We might try it, even though I'll probably pee my pants.
Holy cow, I can't believe you were our neighbors for several years and never let us in on the action (unless you really wanted to just keep it to your twosome...heh heh)
Now I know why you always had your couch pushed up against your front door.
This game would kill me. Seeing video of the two of you makes me miss you, Bonners!
Wow, you've really taken to Lower Alabama ;) Almost came down in September, but in the end it wasn't necessary. Have you tried Larry's BBQ off Hwy 84 and Daleville Ave yet? Curious if you have other BBQ recommendation
