The Ultimate Hunt, Now Over

This was not a pleasure hunt. It was not a hunt we asked for. And it was certainly not something we wanted. But after the attacks of 9-11, the hunt for Osama bin Laden was certainly something that stayed on the minds of most Americans. After nearly ten years many people began to doubt that we would ever end the hunt for Bin Laden. Well, let this be a lesson for you. If the CIA turns loose the American hounds on you, it’s only a matter of time before they track you down. And then…

Hunting Fiascos

Bernie fried the quail and some French fries. Joe cooked cobbler and cornbread in the Dutch ovens. Mickie cooked a pot of grits. I helped out wherever needed.

This year it took the slow down a little longer to start. The excitement of starting something new pushed up a little farther than normal.
