It was really quite lovely.



With every thing limned in delicate icy filigree



Just plain purty.  Waitaminnit.  Whazzat?



There, in the distance, at the end of the road.



I missed, dammit.]]> tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97323 Comment from Justthisguy on 2010-01-13 Justthisguy http://enemiesofthelibrary.blogspot.com ]]> 2010-01-14T04:12:34Z 2010-01-14T04:12:34Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97283 Comment from skip on 2010-01-12 skip The neighbors would like that.

I admit, until the predation gets unbearably expensive, I'll stick with giving 'em a sporting chance.

I'm weak that way.]]> 2010-01-13T03:09:20Z 2010-01-13T03:09:20Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97281 Comment from Carol Kirk on 2010-01-12 Carol Kirk ]]> 2010-01-13T02:53:20Z 2010-01-13T02:53:20Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97277 Comment from Pogue on 2010-01-12 Pogue http://airpogue.blogspot.com/ ]]> 2010-01-12T23:37:17Z 2010-01-12T23:37:17Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97276 Comment from H H on 2010-01-12 H H Lower tech, an old fashioned bouncing betty hooked to a fresh piece of meat.
Just have to keep your own animals away from the kill zone.
I may have been Air Force, but I had two brothers in the Marines and two in the Army.  They sort of rubbed off on me.]]> 2010-01-12T23:23:11Z 2010-01-12T23:23:11Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97270 Comment from KCSteve on 2010-01-12 KCSteve
For that range I wouldn't feel comfortable not using a scope on an animal*.  When I hunt (and I consider pest elimination still in the 'hunting' category) I want everything but the target unbothered and the target dropped as quickly and cleanly as possible.

*Targets and adversaries take their chances.]]> 2010-01-12T21:13:02Z 2010-01-12T21:13:02Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97268 Comment from Barb on 2010-01-12 Barb http://barbette.blogspot.com 2010-01-12T19:52:57Z 2010-01-12T19:52:57Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97265 Comment from John of Argghhh! on 2010-01-12 John of Argghhh! http://www.thedonovan.com 2010-01-12T19:31:14Z 2010-01-12T19:31:14Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97260 Comment from KCSteve on 2010-01-12 KCSteve Range cards and calibrated scopes - even if your natural tendencies might run more to indirect fire. ;) 2010-01-12T18:35:59Z 2010-01-12T18:35:59Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97259 Comment from olga on 2010-01-12 olga beautiful pictures! 2010-01-12T18:32:58Z 2010-01-12T18:32:58Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97255 Comment from Robin from Anchorage on 2010-01-12 Robin from Anchorage ]]> 2010-01-12T17:54:34Z 2010-01-12T17:54:34Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2010://1.11820-comment:97253 Comment from David M on 2010-01-12 David M http://www.thunderrun.us You missed and by the looks of it...it brought a friend along this time. 2010-01-12T17:43:36Z 2010-01-12T17:43:36Z
