Will AI Replace the Shaman?
I was playing with AI the past few days and I tried feeding ChatGPT a title “Turkey Hunting Tips and Tricks” and letting it write a script. I then fed it to Pictory to build a video and then published it to Youtube. They say Turkey Hunting is the hardest game on the North American Continent. It’s certainly well beyond an AI to tell you how to do it. I did get a chuckle out of the result It took about 30 minutes for it all to happen. I just sat and watched. I also asked ChatGPT: Tell me how … More . . .
The Fernwood Doe
This took place in suburban Fernwood, Ohio. My day job at the plant is about 200 yards from this neighborhood. My buddy at work saw this happen outside his living room window. He reported that the doe must have tripped over a plastic drain pipe. That was the noise he heard just before the floorshow started. This was not due to ice. It had rained, but it was well above freezing. Don’t worry. He found her about ten minutes later munching on his bushes in the back yard, seemingly none the worse. Enjoy. This post has already been read 2786 … More . . .
Who was Big O?
I recently had a conversation online with one of my neighbors, Mike. Mike and I met years ago at the store in Berlin, but we’d lost each other since. He found this weblog the other day and wanted to say hello. We’re close enough that we could probably shout at each other across the holler, but we had to come to the Internet to meet up. That’s the way it is out here. I knew immediately that he was not a local, because his first name did not begin with an ‘O.’ Around here, that is a dead giveaway. He’s … More . . .
O.D. and His Theory of Deer Rifles
Several times I have commented to y’all about all the stupid hunting stuff that I find rolling around in my head. These are just bits of detritus that I have picked up over the years. A good number of them have come from my long-time acquaintance with O.D., the local deer expert. O.D. holds court down at Mister Browning’s store. He is most entertaining; however, there is something about his sincere delivery that makes what he says stick. In the past, I have listened to him go on about how a bout of bad weather drives every deer in the … More . . .
Biscuits and Gravy in Browningsville
We were down at Mister Browning’s store in Browningsville. We heard there were good biscuits and gravy available on Saturday mornings. O.D. was there. O.T. and O.P. showed up as well. One thing you have to remember is that it is important to have a fresh set of turkey hunting duds if you plan on going to Browningsville for breakfast in season. I was tagged out, and Supercore did not want to hunt in the pouring rain. He dressed. I stayed in my civvies and wished I hadn’t. Folks looked at me like I was some kind of heathen. They … More . . .
O.D. and the 2 of 7 Rule
I mentioned the 2 of 7 rule a while back. I’ve had a bunch of people ask me about it. I have to come clean. It is not my idea. It is not original. I cannot even say I fully believe it. However, I know the man who seems to have invented it. That fellow is O.D. I have mentioned O.D. before. He’s related to O.T, my turkey hunting buddy that owns the mower shop. O.D. is one of the regulars at the store in Browningsville and I frequently find myself propping my feet up next to his, drinking the … More . . .
Life with O.P.
Of course you know about my buddy O.T., the old turkey hunter that runs the mower shop and his brother O.D. the expert deer hunter that holds court at the store in Browningsville. The brother I met first,however, was O.P. , the baby of the bunch. O.P. has a trailer up the road on the way to Brownsville. KYHillChick and I hadn’t even closed on the property back in 2001 when O.P. showed up to introduce himself. O.P. was quite nice. We shook hands and all and then O.P. launched into his pitch. 1) O.P. wanted to know if we … More . . .
Happy Saint Hubert’s Day
It’s the Third of November, the Feast of Saint Hubert! I’d like to wish you all many happy returns of the day. According to legend, Hubertus went hunting on Good Friday and saw a stag with a cross between its antlers. The deer gave Hubertus the riot act and lectured him on Fair Chase. A talking deer was too much for Humbertus, who fell to his knees and prayed to God, promising to give up drinking Jaeger Bombs. When he got back to town, he renounced everything and became a holy man. Moral: Jagermeister is bad for you. Around our … More . . .
O.D. and the Squeaky Toy
There are little white country stores up and down Route 10 all the way from the Ohio River to . . . well, frankly I have never been past Germantown on Route 10, however, I suspect there are stores like that all along the length of the road as it winds through the Trans-Bluegrass. I used to favor the one at Lennoxburg, but after Jake retired, I have been trying others. It is a lot like finding a new church; you visit around a while until you find a place that is comfortable. All these stores are the same and … More . . .
