The Deer Hunt


Okay, so the "But Wait! There's More!" blog just isn't going to happen this week. I am not going to have time to pull everything together. So, I have decided that instead of letting you site two weeks without seeing anything, I would post this instead. This has been laying around for a while, I was going to post it later, but I thought why the heck not, let's post it now!


It's entitled "The Deer Hunt", it is a one day journal of a deer hunter. I hope you like it!
