The not so mighty hunter


Another deer season has come and gone. I made several efforts this time, but things didn't break my way.

I think part of the blame for this lies with the deer themselves. At one point, I might have had a shot at a group of them. Looking through the scope, I saw one deer licking another one.

It would have been so much easier if the deer in question would have been giving the other one the finger (although I know there are logistical problems for deer associated with performing that gesture).

Deer should be meaner. And uglier. Then everything would be perfect.

  1. Blown up Buddah's and Mtntop removal-

    Reminds me of the line in that Lou Reed song

    Well Americans don't care for much of anything

    land and water the least
    And animal life is low on the totem pole

    with human life not worth more than infected yeast

    Americans don't care too much for beauty

    they'll sh*t in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
    They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
    and complain if they can't swim

    They say things are done for the majority
    don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
    It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me
    "Stick a fork in their *ss and turn them over, they're done"
