Hell in a Handbasket has posted a review of “No Country For Old Men”. Worth a read. There is one quibble, though. The best of the hitmen after the hunter (or the worst, if you prefer) uses a suppressed 20 gauge shotgun as his main arm, as well as a portable [Read More…]

Deer like pumpkin 🙂 From Kit John and I went hunting two days ago and saw ONE deer. This morning on one four mile stretch of road in town, I counted 14 does and 1 buck. Clearly we just need to go out into our own yards to fill our tickets. I dunno whose yard [Read More…]
