It's a topic I find very interesting. I grew up hunting waterfowl and always ate what I killed. The first goose I winged was a traumatic experience and it died, bleeding, on my boot. I became a much better shot after that and always carried a small gauge shotgun to deliver the coup de grâce in the event another of the party didn't make a clean shot. I haven't hunted in several years now, but last time did go with a dear friend. We didn't get anything, and that didn't matter one bit. The shared experience at sunrise over a partially frozen marsh, the paddle out in pitch black, the warming morning and the sounds as the forest behind us came awake were more than worth the discomfort and the super market rotisserie chicken for dinner.Easy and Elegant Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951907004091808223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-70658498679626684392011-10-30T11:09:45.097-04:002011-10-30T11:09:45.097-04:00Lynn Wyatt scares me . perfect for the cast of Dal...Lynn Wyatt scares me . perfect for the cast of Dallas !Clara Walmsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907801725064204958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-66864721130135104272011-10-29T13:11:48.846-04:002011-10-29T13:11:48.846-04:00Laurent, I am glad you came by.

I agree completely with your view of Mason's performance but Fox should not have been there: too common in every way, albeit glamourous as 'the jackal' in "The Day of." Plainly the text owes buckets to Renoir's "Rules of the Game," but who doesn't, except Beaumarchais, whose inspiration it cites. But I respect Colegate's work and, reading it in relative youth when it appeared, rather cherish it; which means I'm very pleased to have encountered this posting.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-37576845208426329962011-10-28T10:38:33.423-04:002011-10-28T10:38:33.423-04:00Jennings and Gates. thank you for adding this-and ...Jennings and Gates. thank you for adding this-and "it isn't the hunting I don't like, it's the dying." aptly puts it.

But then he saw the bird had not been killed, just tragically injured, in a massive remorse, he took the bird back to his medical office and tried to save it. Guns are strangely exotic and shooting trap and skeet can be a lot of fun. But I'll always remember what Joel said when someone asked why he decided that he didn't like hunting, and he said, "it isn't the hunting I don't like, it's the dying." Animals, like people, are most beautiful when they are alive, and as stunning as a beautiful woman can be with a gun, ultimately, there's just no way past that one crucial fact.Virginia Country Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291355605808113627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-72594780608079610662011-10-28T00:29:39.564-04:002011-10-28T00:29:39.564-04:00If you drive along the road away from the airport ...If you drive along the road away from the airport in Tasmania at gloaming, pademelons hurl themselves under your wheels in great numbers.
