Doe Season?

If Andy were a boy in this story, every character would be a little bit different. Charlie seems to be upset only at the fact that Andy is a girl. Because of this he seems to act in a very childish way, making remarks about how the hunt will be disturbed because of her being there. Andy's father would not have to constantly be defending his daughter and taking shit from the rest of the group. The most immature character, Mac, I believe would not be making the wise cracks and probably would have held back from making a perverted comment that made Andy somewhat uncomfortable. Knowing Andy is a girl hunting for her first time made the read a waiting game for something unfortunate to happen to Andy. I think the only thing that would have remained the same would have been the relationship between Andy and her father. He seemed to love and care about her very much. Other than that, I think that the story would have been completely different. If Andy were a man he would not have had to prove he is a man by shooting a doe.
