The beauty of killing wabbits

So I'm going rabbit hunting again this week. I don't know if I mentioned our first hunt in any of my previous blogs so just to fill you in, I'd gone on a rabbit hunt last month. We were hunting in the dark and it was cold and miserable so we're going this week since it's spring in the hopes that it'll be a bit warmer.

I am also hoping that my new shotgun will hold it's own against the vermin than my other gun did. Five 410. rounds in my cylinder is way better than 10 in a 22. especially when it's too crappy to fire.

Last I heard, we are making the trip over to Christmas valley on Friday. We'll stay for the weekend. Last month we got about 20 rabbits in one night. My friend's dad says they usually get about 50 on a good night. It's more pleasurable when it isn't so cold also.

This is still only one of the first times I've gone rabbit hunting. I've gone in Idaho with my uncle on his property a couple of times and I've gone with my friend and his dad last month. So I'm still a beginner at this sort of thing.

I don't have much going on really but if I ever do it'll end up here. :)

Oh, and I do have camp coming up. If that little tidbit interests you I guess you just won the prize.

If you haven't already guessed, there isn't much that I do. People are often asking me things like what my hobbies are but in reality I have none.
I'm not complaining though. I am quite happy regardless of the situation I'm in.
I suppose I've been given the blessing of finding contentment when there is nothing joyful in my life.

Perhaps this may be the greatest joy I could ever have received. If it were possible for all other people to find joy when there is no joy the earth would be a whole lot better place to live.

Perhaps I'll challenge the rest of you pleasant individuals to do the same thing that I strive to do if it pleases. Try to find peace and joy. Even in your darkest hour. Strive to find the good in your life. Look at all of the blessings you have and just for a second stop consuming and be content.

You see the problem with us modern Americans is we think that everything is owed to us. We are all wrong in our thinking. We really are no better than the rest of the world. We may be even worse in a lot of ways.

We are in so much debt right now that there is no chance of us getting out any time soon. Yet we just keep spending. The decisions that my beloved country's leaders are making is eventually going to make me move. We have more power than we deserve.

Many countries hate us because we are known as slovenly lazy fatties with too much power. Our government is becoming corrupt and they are doing things that are dishonest.

Talking about my country this way may be going a bit too far so I'll stop now. Just know whoever reads this just how I feel.
