Bastard. I am the same age as you will be in 6 months or so.

Then, we are even.

Sid, as is my age

The whisky used to come in a trough when it was VHS tapes. Nowadays, they
just stuff a coupon into the bottle. The ink adds to the taste.

Are you sure it wasn't yesterday and you just haven't aged a lot since
then?

Congrats. Although the usual drink for drowning one's sorrows while
country music plays is beer. Someone once said about Johnny Paycheck's
earlier catalog "Even if you don't drink, this would make you buy a
beer just to have something to cry in."

Happy Birthday and all that.

Lane, whose 43rd comes up on Armistice Day, and will spend it two
hundred miles from home at a gig playing at a party in honor of the
first weekend of deer season (Kirksville, MO, if anyone cares).

You have weird season names. Out here we have Summer and haze.

After deer season comes duck season. Then goat season, dirty skunk
season, pigeon season, mongoose season, elk season, fiddler crab season,
and eventually baseball season. I don't recall if rabbit season ever
actually happens.

Funny, it works the same in KS (I don't know Missouri's seasons,
although I bet they're on line somewhere). Deer-firearms: Nov 29-Dec
10 (archery, Oct. 1-Dec 31), with Duck season running from Oct 28- Dec
31 and Jan 20-28 (don't ask me why the two weeks off)
> Then goat season,

Now you're just being silly. Goats are livestock, except mountain
goats, which we don't have, AFAIK in Mo or KS.
> dirty skunk season,
We only have striped and spotted. Spotted are protected as endangered,
and are rare. Striped skunk season is Nov 15-Feb 15.

> pigeon season,
Winged rats have no season. As far as anyone cares, shoot away.
> mongoose season,
Check with Sid. I don't think we have wild mongoose in .us. Good
thing, too. Wolverines are nasty enough.

> elk season,
Oct. 1-Dec 31.
> fiddler crab season,
Gotta go to a coast, methinks. Not worth catching, though. Not pretty
enough for the shell to have any value, and too small to make good
eating.

April 1-early October (later if you're lucky)

Year-round in KS, with a bag limit of ten per day, no more than thirty
in your possession.

And as for Sid's comment about a Kirksville season, it depends on
whether you want to go there. Given that I'm getting somewhere north
of 200 bucks, Kirksville season is the first weekend of deer season.

Of course not. You already mentioned duck season.

*BLAM*!

That's so the hunters can sober up a little. Just a little.

The mountain goats are deadstock? Or did I misunderstand?

I didn't realize people actually hunted them. I hope they're tasty, or
are a good source of skunk oil or something, because I can't imagine any
other reason to get near them.

It's not so much a law as it is a question of when they're at their
tastiest.

I was referring to Mongoose brand bicycles.

That's when the elk's antlers keep getting blown to the back of their
heads and such. Drives them up the wall.

But they're so crunchy!

Some good eating if you get a big one.

With more than 30 you can be charged with possession with intent to
distribute, i.e. be charged as a rabbit dealer, and that can lead to
hard time.

How many Kirksvilles are you allowed to shoot in a day?
