Dealing With Giant Rabbits

Newt the Beagle is outside trying to scare off a small pack of mule deer milling around my shooting bench. So far, Newt, who's tied on her cable run, has succeeded in moving the deer at least 2 or 3 feet. I'm sensing that the mulies don't see Newt as a particularly serious predator…so much for 13 Inches of Fury! Kinda sounds like the title of a 1970s-era porn film, does't it?

Anyway, there was a match on our schedule this weekend, but it's looking a little shaky. Without a match, I'll have a chance to start my evaluation of a not-yet-for-production handgun that has been here at the Bunker for a couple of weeks. Here's a hint…I've purchased the one I have already and have big plans for it!

Our THE BEST DEFENSE 1-hour special is now up on DRTV and Outdoor Channel's home site, so if you missed it Wednesday night you can catch up.

More when I dig my way into my office...

In her own mind, Newt sees herself as a raging wolf.... so much for that fantasy!

We use an Invisi Fence for Sofie our Norwegian Elkhound who also tries to herd off the stubborn mulies. Doesn't keep the deer out, but keeps her within our five acres just fine. If not, Sofie would chase them into the next county.

OMG, NIGHT OF THE LEPUS is a WONDERFUL movie! Stuart Whitman's and Janet Leigh's unequivocally greatest role! To say nothing of DeForest Kelly!

Seriously, they don't make 'em like this any more.

I saw the movie right after I read YEAR OF THE ANGRY RABBIT...

…which is about giant mutant rabbits in Australia. As an aside, one of the times I was in New Zealand there was an article in the local paper in Queenstown that NZ scientist were going to use a genetically engineered virus to inhibit rabbit fertility on the islands. I almost leaped up from my craft-brewed stout and fresh clam chowder at the only microbrewery in town and screamed, "NO! NO! I know how this ends!!!" I decided discretion being the better part of valor (or valour, if you will), to simply order another stout…
