Choppy and jarring, not just in the story line, but the paragraphs don't seem to flow together in some places. It also jumps tense, one minute they are in the present and then in the same section of story they are in the past. It goes from "We were doing..." to "We all did..." to explain what they were doing now. It reads as if it takes place in the 70's instead of 2000's, we can't get a good read on the boys' ages because one minute they are in high school, then they are out back smoking cigarettes, then playing in the snow, riding dirt bikes and drinking beer.
Some technical research errors, for instance when the boys go hunting and forego wearing orange vests. That is a big no-no unless you want to get shot. Also I don't think it is realistic to butcher the deer in the field. I know they field dress them, to make them easier to carry, but to full out butcher and make the steaks, roasts...etc, that isn't plausible.
