    True story: represented a client that shot one at one of those elk a couple of years ago. He missed. Fish cop cited him for reckless endangerment after a passing school bus called him in because it "scared the children" on the bus. Jury trial. Not guilt in about 10 minutes of deliberation.

    Drive-by shootings are viewed entirely differently in the sticks.

    that's funny - my wife and I both got selected to a jury on this guy down in Nemah flats shot an elk for his friend that was handicapped (forget the PC term to use but almost said crippled). The guy with the disabled hunting license had driven a different guy home so wasn't even there when the elk got shot. 4 others pleaded guilty but this guy wanted a trial. The actual charge was lying to an official of the state of Washington.

    The disabled guy was dropping off a Naselle cop and rushed back just in time to claim the elk before the fish and game warden showed up. The way it was described was more like the gunfight at OK corral as the Elk entered - 5 shooters and 6 or 7 dead elk and all of them saying I didn't shoot one. All elk confiscated and everyone had their license suspended

    Mostly The Throbber lives in the sticks so he can pee wherever and whenever he wants.

    There's a certain freedom in just whipping it out and spraying without the neighbors thinking that's weird and calling the cops.

    But then you don't have the joy of being the neighbor

    In all my years, the craziest shit I ever saw happen always involved a dead elk.

    People go fucking crazy over one.

    After you have a nice backstrap steak with some sauteed chanterelles on top, it becomes clear why, though.

    Let's be accurate.

    I was hiking with my daughter and came across this little guy, fresh from his winter hibernation. We even got a half hearted rattle out of him when a guy came running up for a photo op.

    Pretty early and cold for snakes yet around here. We've had a couple of days that might draw a few out, but still getting frost on the nice nights. I'm going to move back to the west side sometime, maybe soon, where I can admire rattlers on TV shows instead of wondering if I'm about to step on one.

    The Throbber hates snakes more than Indiana Jones does.
