“I’m always ready,” said Steve, smiling. “I’ll go
right after fall branding this year. But I’m going to be hunting
differently this year.”
We all looked at Steve and waited.
“Well,” he said, “you know how different cultures and different
countries have their own way of hunting, so I thought I might try
one of those this year.”
“Whatcha have in mind, Steve?”
“The Swiss way,” he said. You know … crossbow? William Tell? The
Swiss way.”
“I’ll be using a regular bow again this year,” said Herb. “I really
enjoy the earlier season and more time to shoot. I shoot in the back
yard every day.”
“Must be something in the coffee here this morning,” said Doc.
“Everybody’s going for a new way … or old way … of hunting.” [to top of second

“I’ll be going back in time
myself this fall,” Phil said. “I’ve never used anything but a modern
rifle, so this year I bought myself a muzzleloader. One shot. You
just get one.”
“That’s a fact,” said Dud. “Now how about you, Doc? How will you be
hunting this year?”
“Glad you asked, Dudley. Yes, I joined the trend myself this year
and I’ll be hunting deer by the Amish method.”
We looked at Doc. “Amish method?”
“Sure,” he said, grinning. “You just go out and find a buck you
really like and build a barn around it.”
