Something to ponder.

I forgot to mention this a few days ago, so here it is. Last week on the return trip of my walk I saw something that made me go, hum? So I figured I would share it. As you all know, I live in Huntington. A town that people come to to go hunting. Thus, Huntington, use to be known as Hunting Town. Someone dropped the the space and the "W". Not sure why. I have always liked the letter "W" and my space but I digress. I was passed by a truck full of hunters on their way back from, you guess it, hunting. From the view I got of the back of the truck not a successful trip for there was nothing in it. But I am told that not all trips hunting are for killing something but for "tracking" something. Which leads to my pondering thought. As they passed me and began their return trip into town, Rufus made notice of some deer CLEAR up on the mountain top. Watching the truck leave the mountains. As it did, the deer started to turn and go back into the mountains. But of course one of them noticed me waving at them like a crazy woman and turned just enough to give a look that said, "Lady so help me if those hunters notice you waving at us and turn around! We will no longer leave your precious flowers that you baby so much alone any more and they will be recycled in your yard by morning. Are we understanding each other?" At least that is what I got from the look, you may have gotten something different but you were not there and so you have to just take my word for it don't you? Jeez! So I started to wonder if with all the technology we have for hunting, I know, I have been inside a Cabela's before. Do we really think we are out smarting an animal that lives in the mountains all year long. Getting advice from the ones that have survived hunting season after hunting season as to how to hide. We may be able to make ourselves look like the surroundings and smell like something they like and even sound like them. But who is tracking who?
