   Well, working here, rest assured that I am used to the rantings and the
resting periods.... I speak to him daily, and rarely do I have to provoke him
if someone else has already done so :)  All the same, I would rather someone
not tarnish the mood for the remainder of the day :)

   Myself, I use a 22 with a scope.  This way I don't destroy parts that might
be useful :)  But squirrel meat is rather tough, wouldn't you say ? The stew
isn't that bad, you may want to try them grilled with some garlic and lemon
juice.  Just keep the grill low, and they won't get as tough.

  Well, there are pltnty of little snakes around here, and thats when the
garden hoe comes in handy :)  And rattlesnake belts are relatively popular
in certain parts of town :)
 
>when it is the proper season.  So, when would be convenient for you?
 
   Well, depending on what part of deer season.... you have bow, shot gun,
rifle, and black-powder.  And I have deer meat left in the freezer from last
season,  Its about time to get rid of it, as it gets strong over time.  Besides
it time to start prepping the bow for the coming season.  Thanks for the offer
though :)
 
   I so enjoyed talking to you, and good luck in your quest to get a rise out
of Eric :)
