Photo Below

I know the photo below makes it look like Mick is just driving around Central South Dakota, but don't be fooled. This man has the hunting instincts of a jungle cat. Notice how attentive he is, the intensity of the concentration etched on his face. This is surely the archetypal hunter-gatherer.

Pheasant hunting, November 2010

Mick and Harley prepare their firearm for pheasant hunting in South Dakota. I had always thought that one used a shotgun for upland game, but retired US Army Colonels have a different idea. Here Harley loads and locks an AR-15 assault rifle for firing.

Actually this was for sport, not for shooting pheasants.
