He was going hunting. He said it was to prove himself smarter, or at least more clever, than a wild animal in the forest. Why this comparison had to be made, and why the answer to the question of smarter was not instead who might be dumber, and why it could be dealt with only by killing I did not ask. I doubt, however, the challenge had been issued by the animals or that they felt their integrity was at stake in quite the same way. This year he did not tell me his hunting them was helpful to the animals, that they were better for being fewer, an argument less likely to prove his point about being so much smarter than a deer.
Well, he is back and like last year he did not see any of his rivals, only other potential outwitters of animals. I guess he will have to go to the supermarket and buy supper from someone who apparently outwitted a cow.
