Urwosh
Part 1/2

Ladies and gentlement, welcome. It's going to be my pleasure on this fine day to reveal to you the secret recipe of the Urwosh, a fine cuisine dish SO GOOD it actually helps soften the moral issues surrounding rabbit hunting. Please, let me start by thanking fearsclave for recieving me and showing me the tricks and secrets of rabbit hunting, last thursday, when I visited over at the fearsranch. A quick description of that day is necessary.

We geared up, picked-up Alice, fearsclave's rump-action pump-action shotgun, and started to hunt. It was so early and yet we were so focused, we would probably have mistaken ourselves for zombies if we would have encountered ourselves, walking toward the forest. It was grand. The scenery was beautyful, the raising surrounding light was magnificient...


We then crossed swamps and a railroad track, all without luck. We stoped every few feet, motionless, listening to every branch cracking, searching with our eyes and ears for any clue of life. Nothing. We followed tracks, studied their depht, calculated their freshness from the wind and snow. Zulch.

Then I learned how you really catch a rabbit. After crossing the railroad tracks, we stopped by a small hunting shack. I had plunged my right feet too deep in a swamp, and wanted to twist-squeeze my sock before going on. While I was at it, fearsclave went for.. well... nature called fearsclave and he went behind the shack. A few seconds of stillness. Then I hear, in a slow, deep whisper : "Dave... take the gun and come here... slooooly...".

Did so. Turned out a rabbit was exactly 10 feet away from fearsclave's... position. It was actually so close I just plain didn't see it! fearsclave had to point it out repetitively with increasing descriptions of it's surroundings for me to finally see it. VERY nice camouflage. Grabed Alice, loaded, aimed. I felt like Elmer Fudd. Shot. Bam. About two seconds of twitch from the wiggly wabbit. Clean shot through the head. At least it didn't suffer, and the image below was the result.
Afterwards, we had a great evening, fantastic supper (what a recipe!) and I had the incredible pleasure to introduce fearsclave to our beloved Borat. Great success!

Then, yesterday (the day after), came the recipe.

Where to start... There's so much stuff to say... Ok. Well, I shall work my way back in a chronologically and psychologically reversed manner.

We went with nico, Janik and mousme to fearsclave's ranch yester and we had a hell of a blast. Litteraly. But now if I go and say I had a "blast" litterally, you will ask, I guess, how and how come. (Then again, maybe you won't and will just think : nuh-uh. I don't give a damn. But then again, that would defy the whole purpose of blogging, wouldn't it? rethorical question.)

Now, in order for my to explain that I had a blast, I'd have to explain we went and learned, Janik, Nico and I, how to operate in a vaguely, supposevly kinda-not-overly-blatantly-ridicuoulously dangerous manner a firearm. The fearsrifle and the fearspumpactionshotgun (Alice, I think). And what's even - and far, far - worst, I can honestly say, as I feared, I enjoyed it to some significant extent.

Which is bad, but foreseeable.

Now, if you know me you may say (actually, you may say it even if you don't know me, who am I to interfere?) YOU, Ulvain, you went to SHOOT? and ENJOYED it?

And explaining this takes two things. 1) nuances and 2) context.

1) The Nuances
I always knew - and that's one of the things I had already discussed several times with fearsclave that marksmanship and the such might be quite enjoyable. Thinking it's something one can feel some "fun" while doing doesn't change my views on firearms in general. Which are too complexe to expose here, and I don't want to start the debate yet, yet, yet again. It's precisely because it's enjoyable that it's dangerous. If it's enjoyable, people *want* to do it. and they do. Which results in more usage. Which results in more carelessness, more accidents, more of it being common to own one or several guns, more of a natural tendency in going for more "firepower" etc. I'm not pro-gun, not becomming pro-gun, not considering guns are "not that bad after all", not asking - on the very harsh contrary - for any softening of gun controlling, not anything of the sort. But considering the context, I believed it was necessary that I learn how to operate a rifle with minimal efficiency if needs be.

2) The Context
Now that's a tough one. Explaning the general psychological context my brother and I are in, requires explaning the results of our few last weeks to a month of heavy research on peak-oil. I won't go through all my research, but here are the main sources and references to 1) know what I'm talking about and 2) try to prove it's not true through more "credible or solid" sources, which I and all the ones I talked to cuoldn't manage to do despite our frantic efforts.

Basically, read all this, and you too will think that in a not that distant future... knowing how to catch, kill, prepare and cook a rabbit might come in handy... Not to mention the "hoards of armed hungry suburbanites" that fearsclave affections so much ;)

Any questions? :)

Object of this post : avoid human casualties in case fearsclave passes by Montreal on Halloween's eve, with Marla at hand. ;)


A Montreal radio station, Energy 94.3, is organising some kind of big "zombie get-together" on halloween's eve. They have gathered over 500 participants already, that will be fully dressed and made up, and that will act in a relatively loose pack in a residential area of the city.

So, again, to be sure : do NOT shoot in however convincig packs of zombies you might encounter in MTL on Halloween's eve!
