Clue/Question:  The hunters didn’t see any deer, but they did get to – – –

Answer:  SHOOT THE BREEZE

(That’s my kind of hunting!  I fully understand the need for hunters, in this day and age, but I don’t think I, personally, could actually kill an animal.  It’s just not in me.  I’m too tenderhearted.  And too spoiled, I guess.  I don’t like to think about how the sausage is made.  I wouldn’t necessarily call this a stinky pun.  Maybe just a little . . . gamey.

Four classic Jumble Clue words.  We’ve seen them all on a number of occasions.  But I believe that all of the jumbles are coming up as new.  I say “believe” because I started this yesterday, and saved it as a draft, and WordPress hides the Tags once you start writing the body of the post.  The Tags are where I enter the jumbled words.  But I also check off any jumbles, on the newspaper or print-out, as I’m checking the Tags, and there are no checks to these jumbles.  Regardless, they were not particularly difficult to unscramble.  The answer letter layout was an elevated eleven letter jumble.  Decently cryptic.  The cartoon and the clue/question set it up for a quick solve.

The cartoon is very amusing.  With the two guys just enjoying their cups of coffee, and hanging out.  I like the – ironic – deer watching them from behind a distant tree!  The two hunters look like they could even be brothers.  Ya gotta wonder if they’ve ever shot anything!  I think they just need a reason to get out of the house every once in a while.  I can relate.  Fun Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
