Comment of the Month

It's 4 am Central time.  I just finished off a can of Diet Mt Dew and I am getting in my truck for a 13.1 mile drive to my favorite turkey hunting locale.  Once there I will endure a grueling 1/4 mile walk to the blind position where I will spend the next several hours attempting to sound like a sex starved hen. 

UPDATE:  Several birds within shotgun range but the weapon of choice this morning was the bow, therefore it's back across the 1/4 mile field and to the truck, no beer tent here.

Brian, is it possible that spending "several hours attempting to sound like a sex starved hen" and then getting back to the truck and there is "no beer tent here" is actually more taxing than my half marathon? Seriously, it was a "half" marathon. So you could expect it only took about half effort. And, when I finished I had no feeling of inadequacy.

Comment of the Month for November - Bobcat vs. Deer

On January 17, 2008, I posted an article that I am linking to here titled "Bobcat vs. Deer?". Below is a comment that I recieved this week that is just priceless.

That's not right. what the hell. What would you have gained from killing that poor cat? If you're still engulfed in the thought that it's so 'amazing', you're sick.
Imagine this. You and I are at the supermarket. There's only one turkey left. It's thanksgiving. We both want that turkey. I take hold of it's leg, you of its breast. I pull a knife and shank you. Lovely isn't it?

Dear "repulsed and disgusted",

One of the things that is fun about writing a blog is to see and hear what kind of reaction my website generates. This article (Bobcat vs. Deer?)is the most read article on this blog. Check out the link and read the other comments. It has generated some interesting comments and somehow readers have come away with the idea that I shot these animals. Don't get me wrong, I would be bragging about it if I did. But, I was only passing the information and pictures along.

Besides, the article titled "Deer with Arrow"was much more disturbing, but didn't get a single comment. Come on man, blow that picture up and tell me how you like it....please. Someone could have at least claimed I was a sicko for republishing it. Oh, and if you want to know the second all time most searched and read or maybe in this case "viewed" article on this site, it is "The Most Amazing Hunting Video Ever".Both this post and the bobcat post have been widely linked to and distributed on hunting sites around the country.

Oh, and just one more note to my friend who posted the note I copied above: Thanks for stopping by my website. Your thoughts and ideas are welcome here.....and laughed at. You have inspired this idea of a post called "Comment of the Month".
