Montana Deer Hunt 2022

Our second year applying for Montana and we didn’t get a tag for the Mule Deer Buck so we each got a tag for a whitetail doe.  Our plan was to go no matter what even if we didn’t get drawn for a buck because they such an amazing youth program. So we loaded up the kids and headed to Montana.  This would be Alyssa’s 4th year hunting and Reagans 1st ever big game hunt.   The drive to Montana from…

- later on works at the maritime museum as a tour guide

- bikes around everywhere, usually with johnny who’s the only other person who has a bike

keith mathews, aka mathews

Hermit

updated 2024/04/22 COD OC biz below. goofed the image resolution; will redo later.

Name: Avery C. Spence

Callsign: Hermit (formerly Yellowstone)

Age: 36

Gender: AFAB; non-binary

Sexuality: Declined

Pronouns: They/them, he/him

Description

Hermit is 5'10" (178 cm) and weighs ~160 lbs. (77 kg). They have slightly wider shoulders but an overall straighter silhouette they purposely style (as much as one can in uniform) to minimize any curvature. 

Their hair is naturally dark brown, and they keep it buzzed. It's a personal preference and out of practicality. Their eyes are a lighter shade of brown than their hair, and their eyebrows are thick. On the left side of their nose is an old piercing scar.

They have their fair share of scars, but the most prominent ones are on their hands. Their knuckles and palms are covered in old and newer scars. Due to their work, they have thick calluses on the webbing between their thumb and pointer fingers and their palms from handling weaponry and tools. They are self-conscious about their hands and refrain from touching people with their bare skin.

Out of uniform, they remain covered in all weather and temperatures and stick to neutral colors. Their civilian wardrobe consists of simpler pieces of varying thickness, baggier clothes, and nothing flashy. Since their head is shaved, they usually wear some kind of hat.

They are particular about sun exposure and religiously apply SPF. This goes hand-in-hand with their preference to cover up.

At work, they avoid jewelry. No rings or earrings. Nothing to get snagged or grabbed. 

They have the following tattoos and piercings:

A tape measure, left bicep

A scrimshaw knife, left forearm

Railroad spike on back of left forearm

Trebuchet, back of left arm, text that says SEND IT

Right ear helix piercing, wears a silver band when not working

Ear lobe piercings, never wears anything in them

Upbringing

Hermit hails from Bozeman, Montana. Their parents were park rangers at Yellowstone (their namesake), with their mother working the winter season and their father working summers. As such, Hermit spent the school year living in an apartment in Bozeman and summer break living in seasonal housing closer to the park.

With park rangers for parents, Hermit spent much of their youth outside. Their parents impressed upon them the importance of basic survival skills and a reverence for nature. Their traditional education was supplemented with long hours spent practicing said skills in all weather: starting fires, building emergency shelters, identifying plants, identifying and tracking animals, and setting traps. When they turned twelve, they started tagging along on hunting trips with their mother and uncle. Every year after that, they missed school at the start of every deer and elk season.

They were a decent student with a middling academic record. Their teachers regularly pushed them to participate in class more, to no avail. Socially reserved, they kept a small circle, something that’s remained true throughout their life.

Military recruiters were common visitors at their high school, and given their disinterest in formal academics and affinities for the outdoors and firearms, enlisting seemed a no-brainer. Convincing their parents was a different matter. In the end, they joined the Air Force.

Shortly after they joined, their mother developed early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Early Career

The early years of Hermit's military career were among the most social of their life. Despite being solitary and on the quieter side, they were noted for having a 'calming' effect on their comrades and for being 'easy to talk to'. In reality, despite never saying much or really anything at all, Hermit served as more of a soundboard and unwitting therapist to their comrades.

They were repeatedly assigned to the armory as soon as they were qualified. Their deep appreciation for weaponry and preference for working alone made it an easy decision. Not one to gripe about the long hours, usually the first to arrive and last to leave, they practically lived in every vault they worked in.

In their first few postings, they struggled with frequently encountering what they considered a complete disregard for rules. Sloppiness. Rudeness. These things could not stand. It earned them their first callsign, Yellowstone, not just for their upbringing but also for the dormant anger that erupted into magnificent displays. Their outbursts got them into more trouble than they'll admit.

Time and experience cooled Hermit’s anger, returning them to a more reticent nature. Eventually, folks started to refer to them as 'Hermit’ as they practically lived in the armory, and made a habit of disappearing whenever off duty or on leave.

They received an honorable discharge shortly after celebrating their twelfth year of service and moved back to Montana to help their father care for their ailing mother. Their mother passed away shortly after that, and they became estranged from their father.

Listless and unable to cope with civilian life, they looked for PMC work.

Chimera

Over the next five years, Hermit moved domestically and internationally several times, bouncing from PMC to PMC. They never gelled with the groups they ran with. Then, they met Nikolai while he was visiting the facilities of their last gig. Nik openly talked a lot of shit until he met Hermit and glimpsed the vault. They refused to allow him access because of the rules. However, Nik liked what he saw and took a shine to the quiet and surly armorer. Months later, Nik returned and, in a blatant disrespect for Hermit's current director, extended an offer to Hermit to join Chimera. It took Hermit a week to accept.

Costuming Research - Greyson Ives

So... I've been reading a remarkably compelling kink fic (Ginger and Mint). And because I'm a historical costumer (and also insane), I feel compelled to figure out exactly what these characters would be wearing. This is a long one, so most of this is under a cut.

So, to start out... When and Where are we?

Well, it's a fantasy world, so things aren't strictly bound to a real world timeline. But to get a basic handle on things:

-Horse-drawn carriages, buses, trains and cars are all mentioned.

-Trains seem to be the most common form of long-distance transport, even among the wealthy and powerful.

-Bean-bag chairs exist.

-Subsistence level hunting is very much a thing

-Yearbook photography is a thing.

-Electricity doesn't seem to be specifically mentioned.

-Letters seem to be the main form of long-distance communication.

-Mass-communication, like radio, phones, and the internet don't seem to be mentioned.

-No one seems to have to fumble with things like lights and stoves

So, to me, this feels like a late-19th/early 20th century world. (I'm going to say been bags are timeless). The setting is vaguely American/European, without directly correlating to a specific location.

Now, to get a little more character-specific. Let's take a look at Greyson Ives, reluctant hunter and equally reluctant di-mage.

Deer Woods, Greyson's home town, very much has the feel of a small Appalachian town. The exact industry that keeps it running is beyond the scope of the story, but IRL, these were often mining communities. Places like this can seem frozen in time, often decades behind the fashions of the big cities.

The Ives family in particular are borderline-subsistence hunters. Poor, even within a poor community, they actively disdain any kind of excess or even perceived wastefulness.

So, what materials would they have available?

Leather and fur could be easily procured. I imagine that probably sell the higher-quality furs and hides, but they probably have the wherewithal to tan hides for bags and waterproof outer garments.

That being said, leather really doesn't breathe. You need plant fibers (cotton, linen) or animal fibers (wool, silk), which would have to be bought. Considering the Ives family disdain for excess, I can't imagine that they'd actually buy bolts of fabric to sew up, or new-made clothes. Instead, they're probably buying used garments, regardless of quality, and wearing and repairing them until they go to pieces. (This is less a region-specific thing, and more an Ives-household-specific thing. Ben, the shopkeeper's son, while still quite poor, probably owns clothes made in the last decade.) For fibers, anything made of silk would be beyond their means, but linen and wool are quite durable, and, depending on the specifics of fiber production for this world (beyond the scope of this fic) cotton might be within reach.

Whatever color the clothes started out, they're likely to wear down to a fairly uniform grey-brown. (While synthetic dyes would be available in period, I cannot imagine the Ives household springing for Sundour to brighten their wardrobes.) If they dye their clothes at all, it's likely to be with locally available natural dyes, in fairly dark colors. (I'm picturing black walnut husks.)

Let's look at some sources! (Yes, I'm using Wikipedia as a source, because I'm lazy.)

So these are miners from Montana in 1889. This is probably actually a little nicer than the stuff Greyson would have access to, but could hypothetically be typical for Deer Woods in general.

Images of "Mountain Men" might be more useful (though a lot of these pictures would be deliberately sensational.)

Yep, that would be a cotton/linen shirt, with a fringed leather jacket.

Not a photograph, but I think this catches the archetype.

Another conclusion from looking at these: at least while still working at home, Greyson probably needs to wear a hat. Something durable, of either leather or wool felt.

So, my headcannon on Greyson's wardrobe at the beginning of the story: undyed cotton muslin or linen shirts, heavily worn and heavily patched/darned. Possibly woolen sweaters for the winter, likewise heavily darned. Woolen pants in dark colors, typical for the 1870's/1880's. A leather jacket, probably long, possibly fringed, for bad weather. (Though Greyson's jacket is later described as "threadbare", so it might actually be made of wool, instead) A haversack, likewise made of leather. Any buttons would be likely to be made of wood, antler, or bone. While hunters in turn-of-the-century Appalachia *absolutely* had the time and skill to decorate their clothing and accessories, the Ives family austerity probably means all of these are minimally adorned, if at all.

But! There's a change at the Midwinter Ball! Greyson actually gets new clothes! Which means we get to look at turn-of-the-century formalwear! For a description, we get a "smoky grey formal jacket"

Now, I'm partial to the evening wear of the 1890's, so I'm inclined to give Greyson a tailcoat. Something like this:

Bramley is described as wearing a bow tie, which would exist by this point (though I'm very tempted to stick the man in a cravat, on the ground that cravats are cool.

I'm going to do everyone a favor, and spare Greyson the truly ludicrous facial hair common to the period (as fun as 19th century mutton chops and mustaches can be), and assume he's clean-shaven.

Anyway, that's... way too many words on one character's costume! Next up will be Elliott Vale, and a dive into the finer side of men's fashion. The girls are going to come last, since that's going to require considerably more digging.

The hunting guide game

Congratulations. You won the career path lottery. You managed to scrape up enough money and skill to set up your own hunting guide business. People, both small time hunters and professional hunters, come to you for guided hunts or tracking.

The game is a two parter. The first part is simple, pick an area where you will set up your hunting range. If you want to specialize hunting Axis deer in Hawaii or Kodiak bears in Alaska, the decision is yours.

The second part is picking three firearms. A handgun (that would be a daily wood-walking gun that you’d bring on hunts), some kind of guide gun (a long gun you’d carry while guiding clients into hunting spots) and a dedicated hunting rifle (for either your own personal use or for assisting in guided hunts).

You have to take the area you pick into account for predatory animals when picking your guns. If you decide to set up in upstate New York, for example, your need for a predator gun is much less than if you decide to set up shop in Montana.

Feel free to be as detailed and specific as you’d like, and tag your mutuals. Have fun, and enjoy the game!

Chapter 10 : Dress Hunting

Her heart sank, more from disappointment than sadness, when she met Janet three days later. The girl had no memories from the night of the crash. Though she remembered everything quite clearly from morning to the evening show; memories after the movie was vague and of the crash had vanished. It left her with not much choice but to stick with Wanda's deer theory. Deer or not, Matt was obstinate to have her driven around by himself or Rachael whenever Y/N needed to go out the past two weeks.

"Dad," Y/N whined, "please. I'll be home before seven." His stern face had begun to melt under her puppy-eyed looks. "Fine, but when you won't be buying anything, why do you need to go?"

"Criticism, to help them choose." Y/N wouldn't have to explain this to Rachael, had she been here. She had gone with Jade and his family on a three-day trip to Vancouver. Now that she was going to marry him, they had begun attending his family functions together. Matt didn't seem very pleased about the recent trip, nevertheless, he had to allow it.

"So, will you be okay with making dinner for yourself or should I bring in-"

"Y/N, I know how to cook. Besides, Aron had invited me quite many times to join him for dinner. I had turned him down due to work. Maybe I'll ask him out tonight."

"Okay. That sounds good. Have fun then."

"Yeah, you too," he said, sighing. "But be back soon. It will be a girls' night though?" He seemed a bit worried about Embry or any other boy from school joining them.

"Yeah, dad. It would be me, Emily, her sister Anna and maybe Lily." She assured him for the seventh time since last night.

"Okay," he placed a goodbye kiss on her forehead before leaving for the station.

Y/N left some sandwiches in the fridge in case Matt had a change of plans. Left a note on the dining table for Matt explaining where to find food if he needed it. They were to leave for Seattle soon after Emily and Lily were done with school. So as she waited in the driveway for them to arrive, she saw Anna walking out of Emily's doors.

Y/N waved to her and returning the gesture, Anna headed in her direction. She was sweet like Emily but tall unlike her and was a year older than Y/N. She had come there to inherit Emily's grandmother's cottage. The old woman had a weird clause that the girl had to stay three months in the cottage to inherit it. And today's dress-hunting trip was mostly due to her upcoming birthday.

Lily drove faster than Janet, so they made it to the store by 16.30. It had been a while since Y/N had been out without Matt's or Rachael's supervision. Music boomed in the car as Anna gibbered about the boys she had been in Montana. Then they talked about Janet and their disappointment when she couldn't join them. Lily was excited about being asked out to dinner by Robin, and from both her and Emily's accounts he seemed like a good guy and all of them were happy about it. Emily talked a bit about Embry. Anna seemed the most disbelieving when Y/N told her that she had never had a boyfriend or something.

Lily drove to McLaughlin's clothing store. Y/N sat by one of the windows near the dressing room as the three of them raked through the store and twirled in and out of the dressing room. After that, they drove to the department store for house supplies. They were midway through buying kitchen supplies when Rachael called.

"I had called dad, he told me you were out. Where are you right now?"

"Why does it matter to you? If dad wants to know where I am he can ask me right away. You-" A knot of anger swelled in her throat.

"Listen, I'm not prying or anything. I need you to do something for me." She interrupted harshly.

"Fine, what is it?" Y/N asked, trying to assume casualness.

"I was looking for dresses here... but the prices are way too high. If you are nearby..."

"I'm at Target, where do you want me to go?"

"I'll send you the location," she replied. "Do you have someone to have someone to drive you there?" Y/N looked at Lily if she was willing to help her out and she whispered, "Not an issue."

"Yeah," she answered, and waited for further instructions. "Good, I'll send you pictures of what I like. Check if something similar is available or I'll buy from here."

"Okay."

The four of them drove silently through the unusually thick traffic of 156th Avenue Road. After hearing about her added plans Anna insisted that she was done in the department store and would love to go with her dress hunting again. It was quite confusing for all of them since earlier Anna had prepared a long list of what she needed in the cottage and wanted to do all the shopping today itself so she can move into it this weekend. Emily reminded her that she needs to buy books and music records which would take much time, affecting their driving-home-early plans.

Finally, after checkout, she agreed to let Y/N go alone as they would to go to a half-price bookstore that sold second-hand books as well as movies and music in various formats. At first, they found it strange for Anna to use old technologies but she emphasised she loved to go back in time for her stay during the stipulated period. It felt silly to be nostalgic however the ways of living were quite good a decade back. They decided to meet at a Mexican Grill before parting ways.

The shop wasn't what Y/N had expected. It was a dimly lit house-turned-store with a not-so-large dress selection. Though she knew there won't be what Rachael had wanted yet she checked into it. She meandered through the streets, trying a few other stores nearby.

After disconnecting her long call with Rachael, Y/N realised how preoccupied she had been with the task and had failed to notice not only that it was thirty minutes past six but she had six missed calls and her battery was on the verge of dying. Glancing down at the map for her way out one final time before the battery ditched her, she wandered through the streets hoping to be headed in the right direction.

Y/N regretted not paying attention to where she was going earlier. Stomping through the streets that were lined by closed warehouse stores and outlet shops; fighting despair, she slowly realised that she had lost her way. Hugging her arms tightly at the elbows, she took a few deep breaths to calm down and tried to reconstruct the map as accurately as possible.

Y/N decided to turn west and was delighted to hear the distant rumble of traffic. She continued around a corner to enter a dark alley cluttered with trash bins, and water-stained cardboard boxes. Brick buildings flanked her on both sides. All the windows were greased over and barred. She picked my way down the alley. Broken glass crunched beneath her shoes. A flash of white darted between her legs, stealing her breath. Just a cat, vanishing into the darkness ahead. A slow, rattling noise drifted through the unsettling air.

She scanned around cautiously to detect a woman pushing through the garbage bags. Her dark eyes shone green and a predatory smile tugged her lips as soon as she caught sight of Y/N.

"What aye got here?" She said, walking towards her.

"Hello," Y/N said, clearing her throat and trying to sound friendly. "Can you please tell me how much farther to 156th Avenue Road?"

"I have got the directions." She said, tapping a finger on her forehead. "But I can't tell you for free. That's gonna cost you. A girl has to make a living. Nobody ever told you ain't nothing in life free?"

"I don't have any money." Not much, anyway.

"You got a nice warm coat."

Y/N looked down at her quilted jacket. A chilly wind ruffled her hair, and the thought of peeling the coat off sent a flush of goosebumps down her arms. "I just got this coat for Christmas."

"I'm freezing my ass off out here," she snapped. "You want directions or not?" Y/N couldn't believe she was standing here and bartering her coat with a homeless woman who had every chance of misleading her. But she didn't have much of a choice.

"Can you please tell me the way now?" Y/N shivered, hugging herself as the woman zipped into it.

"Walk straight from here. Take the third turn in the west, and then head north."

Y/N gritted her teeth as she headed in the direction that had been pointed.

[newrww]

In September, a man from Montana was sentenced to six months in prison after he trafficked a clone of one of the world’s largest sheep species. Court documents allege that Arthur Schubarth trafficked body parts of a near threatened Marco Polo argali sheep into the US from Kyrgyzstan and in 2015 contracted with a lab to create a cloned sheep he later named Montana Mountain King (MMK). Later, the documents allege, Schubarth used MMK’s semen to impregnate ewes and then sold offspring—each carrying some Marco Polo argali genetics—to people involved in big game hunting. It’s a weird case. It’s likely only the second time that an American has been prosecuted for a wildlife crime that involved animal cloning. (In 2011 a man was fined $1.5 million and ordered to surrender smuggled deer as well as nearly $1 million of deer semen—which investigators believed he intended to use to clone whitetail deer—in a case that involved the unlawful purchase and transportation of deer.)

I think the gov't should round up all these moids and have them be hunted. it's only fair

Which American Locations Make the Best Hunting Trips? Where to Go Next

Hunting in the United States offers a rich and varied experience, with a range of landscapes and wildlife for both novice and seasoned hunters. Whether you’re after big game like elk and moose or small game like pheasants and waterfowl, the country offers some of the most rewarding spots for hunting. From the towering Rockies to the dense forests of the Southeast, here’s a guide to the top hunting destinations in the U.S. for planning your next adventure.

Montana: A Hunter’s Paradise

Montana is one of the top states for hunting in the U.S., known for its vast wilderness areas and diverse wildlife. The state is a haven for big game hunters, offering some of the best opportunities to hunt elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, and bighorn sheep. The rugged terrain of the Rockies, combined with the state’s expansive public lands, makes Montana an ideal spot for those seeking a challenging and scenic hunting experience.

In particular, the Missouri Breaks and the Bob Marshall Wilderness are among the most popular areas for elk hunting. While hunting in Montana requires a license and proper tags, it is often viewed as a dream destination for serious hunters. The state’s broad range of species ensures that no matter what game you’re pursuing, there’s a spot for you.

Alaska: The Ultimate Frontier

For the more adventurous hunter, Alaska provides some of the most remote and untamed hunting landscapes in the country. The state is renowned for its opportunities to hunt big game species, including moose, caribou, Dall sheep, and the iconic Alaskan brown bear.

Hunting in Alaska requires careful preparation due to its remote locations and challenging weather conditions. For many, this is part of the appeal—there’s nothing quite like trekking through the Alaskan wilderness in pursuit of massive game. The Alaska Range and the Tongass National Forest are top spots for hunting, and guided hunts are a popular option for those new to the area or hunting in extreme conditions.

Alaska’s expansive public lands make it easier for hunters to access prime spots, but it’s essential to plan meticulously, including securing the necessary permits and understanding the local regulations.

Texas: A Hunting State Like No Other

Texas is famous for its private ranches, offering hunters unique opportunities to pursue game in a controlled environment. While much of the state’s hunting occurs on private lands, it’s known for exotic species such as axis deer and aoudad sheep in addition to native species like white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and feral hogs.

South Texas, in particular, is renowned for its white-tailed deer hunting, with many hunters flocking to the region for some of the biggest trophy bucks in the country. For hunters interested in bird hunting, Texas also offers incredible opportunities for hunting dove, quail, and waterfowl. Whether you're after big game or small game, Texas offers a wide variety of species to hunt year-round.

Colorado: High-Altitude Hunting Adventures

Colorado is one of the premier hunting destinations in the U.S., especially for those in search of elk. With its expansive public lands, including national forests and wilderness areas, the state offers ample opportunity to hunt elk, mule deer, and pronghorn.

The Colorado Rockies provide stunning backdrops for your hunting adventure, and the state's large elk population ensures that you have a good chance of success. Archery, rifle, and muzzleloader hunting are all popular options in Colorado, and the season typically begins in late summer and runs through the fall.

The San Juan National Forest and the White River National Forest are prime hunting areas, known for their vast expanses and rich wildlife. If you're a first-time hunter in Colorado, hiring a guide can be beneficial to navigate the challenging terrain and maximize your chances of success.

Wisconsin: A Deer Hunter’s Dream

Wisconsin is a top destination for those looking to hunt whitetail deer, with a thriving deer population and a long-standing hunting tradition. The state offers a variety of habitats, from dense forests to rolling farmlands, making it an ideal location for deer hunting.

The Driftless Area in southwestern Wisconsin is especially popular, known for its trophy-size deer and picturesque landscape. Additionally, Wisconsin offers plenty of public lands for hunting, making it accessible for both resident and non-resident hunters.

Beyond deer, Wisconsin is also a great destination for waterfowl hunters. The state’s numerous lakes and wetlands make it a prime spot for hunting ducks and geese during the fall migration season.

Idaho: Untouched Wilderness for Big Game Hunters

Idaho offers some of the most rugged and remote hunting experiences in the U.S. Its vast wilderness areas and diverse ecosystems make it a haven for big game hunters. Elk, mule deer, mountain lions, and black bears are all common game in Idaho, with hunting opportunities available on both public and private lands.

The Salmon-Challis National Forest and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area are top spots for hunting in Idaho. The state also offers over-the-counter tags for some species, making it a relatively accessible destination for out-of-state hunters.

Hunters in Idaho can expect challenging terrain, but the reward is often worth it. The state’s low population density means that you’ll often have large areas of wilderness to yourself, providing a truly immersive hunting experience.

South Dakota: Pheasant Hunting Capital

If you’re looking for an excellent upland bird hunting experience, South Dakota is the place to be. The state is famous for its pheasant hunting, drawing hunters from all over the country each fall. The rolling prairies and farmlands provide the perfect habitat for pheasants, and South Dakota’s well-managed hunting regulations ensure healthy bird populations year after year.

In addition to pheasants, South Dakota also offers opportunities to hunt other game birds like grouse and partridge. Many hunters flock to the eastern part of the state, where large numbers of birds can be found in the fields and wetlands.

Hunting in South Dakota is a tradition passed down through generations, and the state offers numerous lodges and guided hunts to ensure a successful and enjoyable experience.

Maine: New England’s Hidden Gem

Maine may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of hunting destinations, but it offers some of the best opportunities for hunting in New England. The state is known for its moose hunting, with the annual moose lottery drawing thousands of hopeful hunters from across the country.

In addition to moose, Maine also offers excellent hunting opportunities for black bears, whitetail deer, and small game like snowshoe hares and ruffed grouse. The vast North Woods region is one of the top spots for hunting in Maine, offering dense forests and remote wilderness areas.

Hunting in Maine can be challenging due to the state’s dense forests, but the rewards are plentiful. The state’s wildlife populations are well-managed, and hunting seasons are designed to maintain healthy populations of game species.

Wyoming: Pronghorn Antelope and More

Wyoming is one of the best destinations in the U.S. for hunting pronghorn antelope, with more pronghorn than people in the state. The vast open plains of Wyoming provide the perfect habitat for these speedy animals, and hunters flock to the state each year for the opportunity to harvest a trophy.

In addition to pronghorn, Wyoming is also known for its elk and mule deer hunting. The state’s rugged mountains and expansive wilderness areas make it a prime spot for big game hunters. Areas like the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Bighorn Mountains offer excellent hunting opportunities, and Wyoming’s wildlife management practices ensure healthy game populations.

Wyoming also offers over-the-counter tags for many species, making it an accessible destination for hunters who may not have drawn a tag in other states.

The U.S. offers an incredible diversity of hunting experiences, from the remote wilderness of Alaska to the rolling prairies of South Dakota. Whether you’re after big game like elk and moose or small game like pheasants and waterfowl, there’s a destination for you. When planning your next hunting trip, consider the unique landscapes, wildlife, and regulations of each state to ensure a successful and memorable adventure.

Finally working on 'The Age of the Deer' book and interestingly deer were almost hunted to extinction in North America.

"Kansas was declared deer-free in the 1930s. Ohio's herd had been extripated for three decades by then. Vermonters hadn't seen a deer for two generations."

"[...] in at least thirty states from Flordia to Vermont and from Montana to Texas, game managers deliberately restocked whitetails"

It sounds like the early 1900s was wild time to be a deer. Because they'd capture the deer in one state and ship them off to another. Imagine getting drugged and ending up in Montana when you've lived in like, North Carolina your whole life.

Anyway deer as symbols of death, deer as symbols of spiritual protection and guides to the afterlife, deer as transit beings between urban and rural- life and death- wild and tamed. Good stuff. Deer (to my suprise) carry their own duality with them throughout history as beings of opposites. But more importantly, they survive. As a species they just keep going and going.

So you know, the assumed canon of Alastor being a deer because he was mistaken for one caused his death is cool but also is he not a character designed of opposites?

Gentlemen- killer, he bleats like a fawn with Rosie - will eat people alive, Fluffy- will kill. Any play into deer duality was an accident but I was delighted just the same.

P.S. "Biologists estimate that Louisiana’s deer population dropped from several hundred thousand in 1700 to an estimated 70,000 by the early 1900s. In some areas, the deer disappeared altogether."

"Louisiana climbed on the Progressive band wagon in 1912 when it created the Department of Conservation and gave it the authority to regulate all activities regarding the state’s wildlife. In setting the deer season that year, the Department outlawed the killing of does for the first time, required bucks to have antlers at least 3 inches long, and limited hunters to 5 bucks per season. The selling of venison was also prohibited (another first), but, oddly, spotlighting was allowed."

Whoever shot Alastor probably wasn't even legally allowed to hunt deer (depending on season). Now isn't that just the sugar on the cream.

200 Films of 1952

Film number 159: Lure of the Wilderness

Release date: July 16th, 1952 

Studio: 20th Century Foz 

Genre: drama/adventure 

Director: Jean Negulesco 

Producer: Robert L. Jacks 

Actors: Jean Peters, Jeffrey Hunter, Constance Smith, Walter Brennan 

Plot summary: While looking for his lost dog in the remote swamps of Georgia, Ben comes across a father and daughter who have lived hidden away for almost a decade. Jim, the father, was accused of a murder he claims was self-defense, and he won’t go back to town until he can get a fair trial. Ben is recruited to help, despite the objections of Jim’s wild and untrusting daughter Laurie. 

My rating (out of 5 stars): ***¼  

Who knew the swamps down in Georgia were so soapy? Because this was essentially a soap opera/romance novel disguised as an adventure film! After only about 10 minutes, I was writing “so over the top!!” in my notes, and for the next 80 minutes it never relented. The acting was over the top, the music was over the top, the preposterous story was over the top... but I smiled the whole way through. It was good campy fun. (some minor spoilers) 

The Good: 

Walter Brennan. He’s a great character actor, and he put his skills to good use here, even if he did get a bit melodramatic at times. But literally everyone in the film did! 

Jeffrey Hunter. Damn he is something beautiful to look at, and he looked so much better without the army buzz cut he had in Red Skies of Montana. He was one of the worst offenders when it came to overemotional acting, but I found that entertaining for some reason. 

I liked Jean Peters more in this than other things I’ve seen her in. 

The story was pretty crazy, but it was always interesting and clearly told. 

It was so campy! I loved it. That was seriously my favorite part of the entire movie. 

The events were well plotted with an effective pace, which made it easy to get invested in. The minutes ticked by quickly. 

I liked Careless the good ol’ hunting dog. I’d run into a dangerous swamp to find him, too. 

No way! This movie also had a pet racoon named Henry?! The pet racoon in Red Skies of Montana was named Henry too! 

The Bad: 

The crazy preposterous story. Yes, it was both a good and a bad thing to me! 

The way one of the bad guys was dispensed with at the end. That was the fastest quicksand I’ve ever seen! It reminded me of the witch’s death in The Wizard of Oz! 

The scene where the bad guys held Ben underwater to torture him into talking. It was traumatic to watch, and all I could think about was waterboarding, which was nightmarish. The whole sequence made me so uncomfortable; I almost had to fast-forward it. 

The bad guys had no character traits besides “bad.” They were one-dimensional to say the least. I still actively hated them, though! 

The music was composed by Franz Waxman, a Hollywood legend known for exceptional work in films like Sunset Boulevard, Rebecca, Rear Window, A Place in the Sun... Here the music went off the rails with everything else- it was almost histrionic. Sometimes it sounded like a Stravinsky imitation, and then it would suddenly veer into schmaltz. Other times it just sounded like the music in a TV western.  

The acting was as affected and stagy as the story and the music. 

“Let's cram in any animal we can!” The swamp was basically a zoo- we saw snakes, panthers, alligators, owls, deer, otters, a bull... It started to feel unrealistic, and it reminded me of The Jungle. In that film the plot kept coming to a halt for animals to either be pointed out or to fight with each other. This wasn’t that bad, but it was reminiscent of it!  

Jean Peters had such an amazing makeup kit for someone living in a desolate isolated shack in the middle of a swamp! She miraculously managed to always have full eye makeup, lipstick, blush, foundation, and perfectly groomed eyebrows! Her Pa must have taught her, of course!

Hilarious . . . ??

You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel.

By Southern California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is considered "mentally unstable."

BUT…

In Michigan, he'd be called "the last white guy still living in Detroit."

In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector.

In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector."

In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food.

In Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a friend."

In Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy."

In Idaho, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate." In Georgia, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."

In North Carolina, Virginia, WV, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina and Minnesota he would be called "a deer hunting buddy."

AND, OF COURSE . . .

In Texas, he'd just be "a guy who's a little short on Ammo.

Best Destinations for Hunting Trips in the US

America has a massive territory with diverse terrain and natural features that make the wild lands of the country ideal habitat for game animals. Currently, ample small game species and about two dozen species of big game animals such as moose and bear can be found in the US. This huge collection of animals makes hunting an attractive activity in the country, and there are numerous prime hunting areas scattered across the US.

While excellent hunting can be found in every state, certain states are more appealing to hunters due to the amount of game available within their boundaries. One of these states is Alaska, which is popular among big game hunters due to its large numbers of grizzly bears, mountain goats, elk, and other species.

Alaska is the largest state in the US, but it also has the lowest population, which means there are significant wilderness areas that are accessible to hunters. However, while Alaska has public hunting grounds that are larger than some countries, its rugged terrain and often hostile environment make it challenging for hunters to reach these areas. Usually, hunters who want to access the best hunting grounds in Alaska have to travel by float plane or boat. But the journey to these wild lands is part of the overall experience, and once hunters arrive at their destinations, they are likely to find the trip worth it.

Colorado is another popular place for hunting in the US. The state has various types of terrain, with vast forests and high plains, which contain large numbers of game animals. There are numerous choice locations to hunt in Colorado, and the type of game a hunter wants will determine where they hunt. For example, hunters in search of Elk should consider the areas south of Meeker or in the northern parts of Glenwood Springs, where the white river elk herd (a herd of about 40,000 elk) resides. Hunters can also visit places like Dominguez Canyon and Badger creek, part of the state’s 8.3 million acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management, for a great hunting experience. Besides elk, other big game species found in Colorado include mountain lions, black bears, and moose.

Next up is Montana, which is the fourth largest state in the US, encompassing over 147,000 square miles. Because of its size, Montana has massive open forests, rangelands, and plentiful game. Hunters can expect to find big game species like mountain goats, sheep, moose, and deer, the latter of which are so densely populated in the region that they occasionally die in large numbers due to disease. Some of the best hunting locations in Montana are Bitterroot Valley, Gallatin National Forest, and Yaak Valley.

Wisconsin, meanwhile, has millions of acres of public grounds on which hunters can find big game like whitetail deer, elk, and black bear. Buffalo County, in the southwestern part of the state, features rolling hills, valleys, and woodlands, and is also a good hunting ground.

Finally, in Texas, hunting is a celebrated lifestyle, and the state has plenty of opportunities for hunting game, including bighorn sheep, turkey, quail, and dove. While most of the hunting grounds in Texas are privately owned, there are still over 1 million acres of public land that is accessible to hunters in the state. Some of the best public land to hunt on in Texas include Sam Houston National Forest, Caddo National Grasslands, and Lake Marlin.
