Hunting is one of those issues that divides a lot of people: is it right or wrong to hunt overpopulated creatures like deer and black bears, which can be a nuisance to humans? We visit the Mighty Moose river in the Adirondacks and observe some hunters at their task while pondering the question. Words and images at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Pursuit
Flak-footed
gray as grim
to light less
upon the crisp furze --
hardly hear it crackle --
in the steaming distance
there might be a flash
of feather or tail.
How to limp that
buttress over one shoulder
without firing a charge
and hobble home,
should the morning prove
an utter rout?
