“We should have shotguns for this kind of deal.” - Samuel L. Jackson, Pulp Fiction

And shotguns we had. That's me above with Todd Epp and Todd's son Matt at the first annual SD Blogger's Hunt. The hunt was generously and graciously sponsored by Nick and Mary Jo Nemec.

People are wondering how such a diverse group of bloggers and commenters could coexist while armed. In fact, we all got along quite well as we walked and hunted together. “The bloggers hammered their keyboards into shotguns and their mice into shotgun shells. Blogger did not lift up keyboard against blogger . . . “ to paraphrase the Book of Isaiah.

The camarade continued over chili. Blogged barbs will resume and that's fine. But, what a great bunch to get together for a day in the fields.

The hunt is well covered at Blogmore, Take It Outside (here and here and here), South Dakota War College, SD Watch (here and here), and Dakota Today.
