One friend and university colleague of mine is an actual
(not pretend)
gun expert. He's done lots of consulting work for a major
firearms
corporation, including single handed design of a gun
that's selling
pretty well. Of course, he's got a collection of guns.

But he doesn't hunt. He described his one successful deer
hunt: "I shot
the deer, walked up to it, then thought 'Now what am I
going to do??
I've got like a hundred pounds of meat here, and I'm at
least a mile
from my car." He never hunted again.


My grandfather who, if memory serves, was about 5'6" tall,
killed a
deer every year, and if the Game Warden was "down the
other end of the
State" occasionally killed more than one, and did it until
he was well
into his 70's. And ate every one. My father, taller then
his father,
hunted and we ate all the deer that he shot.

But, while I don't remember the subject ever coming up,
had someone
shot a deer that they didn't intend to eat I'm fairly sure
that they
would have been considered some sort of a pervert. Why in
the world
would you shoot it if you didn't intend to eat it?


To be clear, he (and/or his family) did eat the deer. He
dragged it out of the woods to his car, I assume after
gutting it. But he was not happy about the experience and
chose not to repeat it.

I actually wouldn't have his problem. The deer frequently
come up into our yard. On one occasion, my wife was lifting
weights in the basement and saw a deer watching her through
the basement window. So if I shot one, assuming it was a
clean kill, I wouldn't have to drag it much at all.

Except hunting is illegal within the village limits.

On the other hand, why should one have to hunt just
because he/she/it
likes guns? After all, you can't win the Olympics by
shooting deer but
you can win by shooting holes in a paper target.


It's not mandatory to hunt, obviously. But I, personally,
tend to have more respect for a gun owner who does.
Similarly, I tend to have more respect for a cyclist who
uses his bike for transportation purposes, at least some
reasonable amount of the time. (Yes, I know others have
different standards.)



As with bicycle equipment, people like what they like ( me?
Doe tastes much better than buck; more fat).

On old friend, since passed, spent her last years some 25
miles from Ashland WI (middle of nowhere). There being few
if any game wardens, she took deer from her bedroom window
with a bow and they were a major part of her & husband's diet.

He should try a day on the river duck shooting.
You spend all day with shot guns blasting around you ears, then after
fetching, plucking, cleaning and roasting the duck, you spend all the
meal gently nibbling to make sure you don't eat shotgun pellets. Blah,
I'll stick to running down rabbits.

That's quite a bit do be dragging behind a tricycle, even with electric
assist. Note that in the video, the trike approached the camera
downhill.


You definitely need a properly built two wheel trailer for that and not
the shopping trolley design, plus your trailer attachment should be at
axle level and not up at seat post level where it can throw the bike.

Hmm, perhaps I should link in the ewetube video I watched about
converting a cheap rear box trailer trike to electric assist. That would
be a lot more useful on this occassion, although I did wonder about the
'grubscrew' that obviously holds the rear axles drive onto the rear drive
axle.

How does walking to work equate with working hours? If you are
supposed to be at work at X o'clock then you just get started early
enough to get there on time, regardless whether it is by bicycle or
Shank's Mare.

Around here, XC ski season is almost totally absent. (The wings
statement is quite a bad parallel.)

But I am consistent in that I have admiration for people who are wise
enough to live close to work, and therefore walk there. Even though I
personally prefer biking.

I've mentioned before, when my wife was doing volunteer work at the
school down the street, one woman went off to buy some supplies at the
corner store. She told my wife something like "I know I should walk like
you do, but I'm going to drive." The distance is roughly a quarter mile.

Some might say "People like to drive. They like what they like." But I
think excessive driving has enough bad societal effects that we should
call it out. It goes way beyond "Tragedy of the Commons" although that's
bad enough.

That is what I said, but so called intelligent people fail to see the
benefits of walking to walk and try to maintain or recover their fitness
through gym membership, which means ......

FWIW, my history of walking to work can measured in the history of my
foot ware. I wore through three pairs of HiTech walking boot (dressy in
suede, good for HO) before they stopped being available and then switched
to KT26 walkers that I could get resoled quarterly until the shoe guy
said 'buy a new pair'. Last time I looked, they are hard to get as
production went to full sizes only and stock is a mixed crate of sizes
that sell out ery fast unless you wear size 10.

Now, since retirement, I tend to wear boots branded for motor vehicles,
which are great for gardening or the workshop.

So, Christmas shopping online, I was looking for wool socks for a
certain lady. Reading the reviews of one set, a woman said something
like "These contain rabbit fur! I don't want socks that require
inflicting pain on an innocent animal!"

I thought A) There's certainly no rabbit shortage. B) Is it better for
the rabbit to go the way of the possum in our back yard four days ago? I
looked out and saw a Red Tailed Hawk calmly sitting on him, waiting for
him to die. He ultimately became brunch. (For the hawk, not me. Didn't
look appetizing.)

I played it again and you're right. The noise seems to be coming from
the trailer dragging something on the ground. That begs the question
how the prospective hunter is going to carry the trailer on his way to

No need. That's been done, well, already:
