First Deer Hunt
This past Saturday, our radio show topic was one I suggested–“women hunters”. Even though I’m not a hunter, I enjoyed moderating the show and sharing about the women hunters I’ve met this fall and what great gals they are.
One of those women hunters is an all-around outdoor woman who inspires me to the moon and back. She is Rene` Lofton Hatten, and I met her and Sammy this summer at our outdoor writer’s conference. She couldn’t believe the Bayou Woman wasn’t a hunter and invited me to the deer camp this fall, but you know how people say things to be polite and never follow through.

What in tarnation is a chicken tractor?
Chicken tractor conjures up images of a miniature garden vehicle, ridden by a chicken. That’s what I thought, too, when I saw the ad on Face Book:
I thought it was Earl Grey……to go with Lady Grey!
Yes, the liberated hen and her partner: Early and Lady Grey!
I’m sorry, but although everything sounds good, I’m still stuck on Earl. Kind of quirky.
Looks like you might have a 3-way tie.
A handsome fella! Deserving of a good French-ish name 🙂
