Back in 1980 the 13 series documentary Cosmos by Carl Sagan had a profound effect on myself. I anxiously awaited every week for the new episode to air and then watched it again later in the week when it aired for the second time.

To me this was television at its finest and would eventually lead to a decades old hobby of mine, astronomy.
In rural Pacific Northwest, we knew a lot of hunters. Some went to Central Oregon. Others went to the coast. Most ate the animals, usually Deer or Elk, they shot.
