Posting in good morning today triggered a flood of memories. Like I said there, it's hard to imagine I was competent shooting off hand with iron sights.
The first time Will and I hunted together we were calling coyotes and we both trusted each other's abilities enough to shoot over each other's shoulders. We'd set up facing each other on opposite sides of a draw to be able to spot cougars sneaking up on the caller. Anyway, I'd told him about Jenny, our pet blacktail doe. She frequently showed up when I was calling and stand in the clear cut acting as a decoy. She wasn't trained but she figured things out very well. She didn't like coyotes and really enjoyed seeing them shot.
Will was calling when he met Jenny. She came up behind him and nuzzled the back of his neck, unbenounced to him. You should've seen him jump! She then walked into the clear cut and served as a decoy. Afterwards, Will said "I've hunted deer my whole life, but this is the first time I've ever hunted with one."
After meeting Jenny I never hunted deer again. I used to think they were instinctual creatures but she taught me they are sentient critters, just like dogs. She sure had a personality!
Snack Review #12: Darrell Lea - Soft Australian Licorice!
Bottom Line: Texture is dense and chewy. Really sticks to the teeth. The strawberry one tasted more like cherry. John liked them. I thought they tasted artificial. 2 Thumbs up and 1 thumb down.

Bottom line: Very dry texture. No hint of vanilla or cake on the nose. Just a chemical smell. Crumbles when you bite into it. Taste is chemical like it smells. 4 Thumbs down. Special Note: I failed to mention in the video that it seemed to have lost it’s vacuum. That is probably why it was so bad. I will try to get a fresher one and redo the review to be fair.
