The walk went by quickly. Stepping off the gravel on the dead end just past Dizzy’s place, I followed a trail of some kind along the edge of a large boggy swamp. While I had hunted back here a few times, it was always with Dizzy in the lead, hence my hesitation.

Keeping to the high (thus dry) side of the swamp, I wove between bare tree branches and patches of thorny brown berry brush. The crunching soil beneath my feet told me I’d return with dry shoes, which made me happy. The brush tearing at my pants reminded me to tread lightly and not toss it aside with my hand, which would leave me bloody and unhappy.

Pausing with the sun directly overhead, I spied fencing ahead. It was the tall kind meant to keep deer and other animals out...and perhaps people. It looked to me like the fencing stretched two hundred yards on the side closest to me. Another fence about the same length ran dead away from me, eastwards. Maybe 10 acres, I figured. Perhaps a little more.

I crept through the brush, hoping to approach unnoticed. At the very least, I wanted to give the appearance of being a reasonable, non-harm-intending man. That lasted all of about 50 steps.

“Come out of the brush with your hands held high where I can see them,” a loud voice called out. “I’ve got you in my sight, and if I don’t see those hands of yours within three seconds, I’m pulling the trigger.”

I slowly raised my hands. So much for my stealthy approach.
