Happy place

[rodwha]

Once I've determined that there are no deer around, then yes, I'll fire one up. We hunt on public lands mainly, where (1) there are no deer, and (2) the few that are there get spooked by the other hunters. We refer to it as "armed hiking."

Well damn! I'll accept armed hiking with a cigar.

Do you still hunt there? That's mostly how things work here, but if I know the lease is nearly empty and people go back to camp for lunch I begin to stalk.

And at this time I was a heavy smoker. I think I somehow resisted considering I was a chain smoker.
