I hail from North Dakota (which hereafter shall be referred to as God's Country) where deer hunting is also alive and well. There is no school on the opener to this day.
Our friendly neighbors to the east in Minnesota are in muzzleloader season. One of my best friends just got her for a few days ago after hours in a tree, perched on a deer stand out in the cold. It was her first time missing the spinal cord, which affords a clean and quick death, but fortunately a liver shot is also deadly. She field dressed it herself and sent it to be processed at a meat plant as venison to feed her family. I might also add that hunters are usually very respectful of wildlife and great conservationists. I add that because some not from the culture may have a different impression when they read this. Bill - Merry Christmas indeed! TWO new Rivendells?!? I don't know how you can stand the excitement. I nearly tipped over last year when we got my husband's Clem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
