It's the final week of deer hunting season and Frontiersman Colbert's last chance to get big game before winter.

It's important to clean your weapon. I don't have any gun oil with me, but I've got pig fat, and pig fat's going to work just fine.

Since leaving a domestic life in the suburbs 25 years ago, Colbert depends on himself to get food, and one deer is about 70 lbs of meat. Before I go hunting, I operate the rifle, make sure it mechanically works fine, and make sure the sights are properly adjusted.

If I'm out there and I got a deer in sights and it doesn't work, I don't get any meat. The average person out there had to fight for their food through the winter, down the swamp, and go hungry. If they missed, they would get a rude awakening if they didn't die first.

That's about the right size for a deer hurt right there. A lot of my friends come to me when I get old, I'm going to have to figure out another plan to find me a safe place to be in the city or a suburb or somewhere. But there's just no way I can do that, it's not going to happen.

My idea is to live the way people did thousands of years ago, living off the land until I pass. Well, that's some good hits. Here's my dear heart; it looks like it left the animal. It was right there; there's a bullet hole. I'd say that sighted in.
