Deer, where are you?

I HAVE FRIENDS who are deer hunters, and they say this year has been lean.

'They aren't out there," a buddy said. "The count is way down, and it's really cold right now, so they aren't moving."

I am not a deer hunter, and never will be, so I have no idea what that means. What I do know is that sitting in a deer blind when it's minus-zero degrees and nothing is going on is not my idea of fun.

But. To Each His Own. Hunters are a different breed and passionate, and I'm all for pursuing your passion.

The coffee is on at Fifth and Maine, if you get too cold out there. Happy hunting and I hope you bag the big one!
