Greetings again from the Hunting Widow! This week's theme is taxidermy , which can be so....limiting... to one's decor. After all, one can only do so much with a mount: turn the head left or right, up or down. Maybe string Christmas lights in the antlers for the holidays. When Chris was at sea, and the nights were long, I could swear that his goat used to look at me. And not in a nice way. So I put a sunbonnet on him to make him a little friendlier looking.

Greetings! I did such a good job last week, Chris asked me to write this week's entry. Or, maybe he realized that no one is saying anything remotely interesting about deer hunting this week. However, being the avid blog reader that I am, I have plenty of off-topic recommendations to make. (Chris would make the argument that I?m always a good source of off-topic and esoteric information. Hazard of my former occupation, I guess). But first, the near and deer: Here?s a primer on How to Age Your Deer. Study hard, there?ll be a test this fall. Genesis of a Duck Cop: Terry Grosz was a conservation law enforcement officer for more than 30 years, first for the State of California, and then with t...
