This Song is a Perfect Anthem For Kentucky Deer Hunter ‘Widows’
Urban Dictionary defines a Hunter's Widow as
The spouse or significant other of a hunter, whom, during hunting season, is typically left alone, "widowed" by their hunter spouse's prolonged absences; includes sleeping alone in the marriage bed, minimal sex life, extra essential babysitting responsibilities (for those with children), refrigerator depleted of beer supplies, bank account depleted of financial supplies, and the itty bitty possibility of said hunter spouse bringing home some fresh meat.
As someone who loves the company of my significant other, I definitely miss him when he is gone for more than a couple of days. Those first two days though...I gotta admit I love doing my own thing. I'll cook things that he doesn't like, and watch my trashy reality shows he claims he has no interest in (although he gets sucked into the drama sometimes!)
If you're like me and enjoy being home alone every once in a while, I have an anthem for you! It was released in 2022, so you may have heard it already, but it's GREAT. Mackenzie Carpenter's Huntin' Season. Here are some of the lyrics:
Haven't seen him once all weekend
House ain't cold, my phone ain't ringin'
Didn't even say that he was leavin'
Oh, it must be huntin' seasonI can shop online, drink all the wine
Binge a whole season of the Real Housewives
Call the girls, we go to town
Never have to put that toilet seat down
Stay up late talkin' 'bout our feelings
Oh, I do love huntin' seasonHe don't know it 'cause I sure don't show it
When I kiss him goodbye and I wish him good luck
Say, "Don't you come back without a twelve-point buck"
'Cause that's the reason for my newfound freedom
No, you ain't the only one been waitin' all year
Oh dear, I do love huntin' season
