This is sort of how my deer appeared this morning. One second there was nothing there, and then there it was. Silent, moving slowly, wary. Only I was hidden. I was watching. I was ready .... almost. The deer looked away for a second or two at something sensed, or heard. I raised my rifle, aligning the sight right where I want it. The deer looks back. It's too late. I fire, and the deer bolts, disappearing into the thick brush. It's all over. I know the house is awake now. My host didn't have any idea I would be overlooking the feeder this morning. The front door opens and he walks over to the gate and opens it; stepping though and into the driveway, looking this way and that, wondering where the shot came from, seeing nothing amiss. It is amazing how well concealed you can be with just a little cover and not moving. Moving can be death, depending who or what you are and what you are doing. Finally I speak and ask if he has any fresh coffee. It startles him for just a micro second. He asks if I got one. I responded with what do you think? He answers with, I'll fix the coffee, come on in. ...... Oh what a wonderful way to start the day.

After coffee, the deer is retrieved, not 30 yards from where shot, hauled to the hoist to be hung and processed. After which we will have a late breakfast. Thank you lord. USN CPO Retired

Is that blood on his kleenex?

 

That's quite a load for a man with the fate of the free world depending on him. It's unbelievable and unthinkable that a man should be so encumbered while fighting for his life and that of others. It's no wonder he is taking a second Tebowing. Hopefully for his prayers he gets all the strength and fortitude to prevail and survive to return to his family and loved ones.

 

You need the right equipment to do any real cooking...

 

Don't know how many here have had a chance to go to a Chuck wagon cook-off... Great fun.

Cooking in cast iron is fun, cooking in cast iron off the back off a real-deal check wagon - more fun-er. Not a blender to be seen.

 

Well, that does look good.

when I worked at a gun range that had a restaruant in it, they had an appetizer called "Pregnant Nacho's". It was BBQ nachos (Chips, pulled pork & sauce/nacho cheese) with baked beans, coleslaw and nacho cheese. That was mighty tasty, though it didn't look good at all.

 

A pulled pork sundae. Awesome!
