Big Bluestem at dawn

Gun Deer Season began here today.  Every time Whip went out, I snapped her into an orange vest.  Deer tend to lay down and sleep during the day.  Some hunters after sunrise decide to go home, warm up, catch a bite of lunch before going back out before dusk.   I timed our walk for noon when I thought hunters would be the least active.  I donned my blaze orange windbreaker and hat just in case.   Figured I was being overly cautious.  However all along the walk I could hear shooting - far off but distinct.  Went downtown to pick up a pizza for lunch around 2.  One hunter was seated in the bar.  He was dressed in an odd mixture of camo and blaze orange.   From what I could tell, I sincerely hoped he wasn't planning on driving out to the woods with a gun anytime soon.
