My Bishop, and probably a majority of priests in this diocese, hunt. Last year his excellency bagged a really nice buck on the opening day (he also drives a truck, and one of his ordination presents was a chainsaw). I think that the majority of non-hunting priests here give a special blessing to the hunters at the end of Mass on the first Sunday of deer season.

I live back in the woods, you see....

That wouldn't be the redoubtable Bp. Etienne of Cheyenne, would it?

His Excellency with the Carmelites in his diocese -- with Carhartts for habits and a camo .308 in the hands of the bishop. He had something on his blog this week about hunting grizzly bears . . . . pretty tough bishop!
