This Might Gross You Out
oWe found this Doe a little way's below The East Fork. Apparently she got caught in the snag when the river was up, in other words, the level and current were up. We stopped to investigate, our first thought being she had either been dumped there or died of wounds. About that time we were passed by a couple in a canoe and then some young girls in kayaks. They looked at us like we were strange. Jello Boy brought up that we tend to have a thing for dead deer. I added, and getting dirty looks from girls too. My mother ran over a Deer Christmas Morning. I mean right over it. Her and the car were fine, but, the Deer, a Doe, was dead. Me and Jello went down there in my truck and threw it on the back. She had blood coming out of her nose reminiscent of Rudolph and her mid section was bad. Still we salvaged some of the meat. As were hauling it back up the Four Lane we were passed by a van with a little girl say eight years old in it. She looked at us with a sever "Go To Hell Look".
Any way, this Deer didn't stink that bad.
My Agenda
It's almost Hunting Season, actualy it is. This week was Muzzle Loading Season the one before was Bow Season(I'm talking Deer). Next week opens Bear and Squirel with Bow Season for Deer opening back up. I plan on hitting the woods for both, other than Bow Hunting. Maybe I should get back into Bow Hunting. Gun Season for Deer opens the Week of Thanksgiving. What's this mean to you? Nothing as far as I know.
Books Better Read
If your Military(you Civvies would benefit too, if your inot Strategy and such) I highly suggest the book I finished the other day. The Sling and The Stone, by Col. TX Hammes, USMC. It discusses 4th Generation Warfare(4GW) and explores or Nations(USA) options in dealing with the threat of 4GW. I agree with the Col. about 90% of the time. He does an excellent job of pointing the failures of theNet Centric Wafare theory. He mainly calls for reforms in our personl system. If you glean anything from it, you will at least learn how Arafat blew Intafada II. Sorry, it doesn't have any pictures in it.

I remember school in NC giving a pass to high school boys on the first day of deer season if they wanted to go out. Later it was the same dudes, the same thing, but a day off from work rather than school. Now, an a very wise man once asked? What's this mean to you? Nothing as far as I know.
Ah, the good ole day's that you speak of. Not any more.
You'll have to settle for the same ol Jungle Boots.
you know--always thought deer hunting was big down south until I moved up north--when I lived in a small town in the Appalachian mountains in Western NY-I was shocked that they closed school for the first day of deer hunting. And there, it always seemed that the deer came out pretty good on open day, with all the people killed from stray bullets and heart attacks. Personally, I haven't hunted deer since college.
The pic of the French Board--it looks heavenly.
e a freind from NY. She said her cousin was showing off a picture of a Bear he killed at a Funeral Home. North and South, in some way's we aren't so differerent.
The French Broad used to be a nasty river. Espeacialy below the Davidson River. Yet, your right, she's a lovley river.
