On a Fox Hunt in the Endless Mountains

[todd allen]

Frank, I hope you don't mind me jumping in.
This is on my friends Idaho mountain ranch.
We hunted mule deer on this ranch for years, always being surprised and startled by those grouse.
We learned to pack a couple of shotguns along.
The grouse numbers were good!
One year they had an invasion of sharp tails like I've never seen before!
We knew what to do.

On the poem posted by Edgar. Thank you. Here’s what my AI app came back with:

• I could not find an older printed source, an entry in a digitized 19th/20th-century poetry collection, or a widely published attribution that predates several social posts. That makes it likely this is a modern poem originally posted by (or attributed to) Athey Thompson rather than a public-domain classic.

Edgar, thank you. I inputted your info back to my AI program and it replied, that issue of Recreation was never digitized and thus the AI couldn't find the poem in its search. It did thank you and me for the now verifiable info which it will archive.
