It is definitely the end of summer, and all this summer stuff that we take for granted is going be replaced by the noise of crazy people crashing through underbrush on their hasty path to get a goose for the dinner table or a buck for the antlers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Okay, I like turkey, but in the fall, I have no interest at all in going out and tangling with an overexcited turkey cock who thinks you’re another turkey cock chasing his hens and wants to rip you a new one.<\/p>\n

I think it’s best to let all you shoot-shoot-bang-bang people have a go at what makes you happiest: shoot the peasants, hogs, turkeys, ducks, bucks, pheasants, or geese, but you’d better make sure they are ready for the oven or the firepit before you show up at my place. I am not<\/em> gutting those things for you.<\/p>\n

It is, after all, open peasant season, now that midterm elections are rolling around. I fully expect to see a few heads on platters with apples stuck into those choppers, or even bits of wholesome roadkill when available. It’s entirely possible that some people whose agendas are not met may have to eat crow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Enjoy the day and the coming weekend, and good hunting to you!<\/p>\n
