That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 09, 2019

Now came the hard part. The dogs wanted their cut.

Simon just remembered that his wife wanted fish tonight.

Love Me some Tender fowl.

After 4 hours of hunting, Gerald was thinking that it would have been easier to talk to pizza boy.

Not a problem. Dead animals make great fertilizer.

“You ain’t nothing but a hound dog. Thank you, thank you very much”

Then Gerald yelled “Fetch the Truffle pigs” as he cast the fowl to the hounds. That night at dinner he realized truffles are fungus not a vegetable and threw them out the window.

Long story short, Gerald often went to bed hungry and confused.

“Mmmmm…. I wonder – dog pie.”

The saying goes, “A bird in hand, is worth …”The dogs are going, bush, hydrant, ANYTHING !

“I forget…is it duck season or wabbit season?”

Hurry up and paint the portrait! Everyone is getting antsy, and these birds are beginning to stink.

“How’s my hair, boys? My hair mussed at all? Still looking good? All RIIIIIIIGHT!”

Looks like he got so carried away carrying his birds, that he forgot to bring back his shotgun.

A day in the life of Lady Chatterly’s lover.

The lovely smells from his neighbor’s house made him forget.

Ah, all those veggies, they raise hell with the memory.

And now his wife gets the easy job of cleaning and preparing these.

All right. Which one a you mutts killed all my chickens?!?

“Home is the hunter, home from the hill/ now that there’s nothing/left to kill. “The Sixth Extinction”

I’m bored now…hurry up with the fox and hounds…..

Wondering why they can’t get the horse to carry the game.

Methinks Gerald might be a Geraldine?

While Gerald’s new hunting vest was warm & cozy, the pockets were hard to use and the cleaning bills were ridiculous.

Dog pile on the wabbit!

That poor man being attacked by all those birds.

Another successful day of poaching his lordship’s game comes to a close.

Nooooooooooooooooo! Not the BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hiya Happyx3!!!!!!!!!! :)

Gerald suddenly realized that he’d gone to all the trouble to gather the raw materials, but he had no idea how to actually turn them into that fashion vision in his mind, the combo feather boa and fur stole.

You caught it, You clean it.

I think I’ve seen that hairdo before??

The birds and rabbits found out the hard way that white is only a good camouflage in artic regions.

This ought to be enough for Christmas dinner with all the relatives.
