2007 has continue to surpass our wildest hopes and dreams for a banner Mullet Year. As our hunter ranks swell, so do the numbers of excellent and unique captures. The summer months this year have yielded some fantastic catches. It is well known that mullets cause their owners much discomfort during the warmer months. It's been my hypothesis that while dealing with soaring temperatures and trying to stay cool, mullets are forced to spend less energy on staying concealed and must risk a venture out of their "safe zones" and risk facing more predators in order to stay hydrated and cool. In the most common mullet habitat, air conditioning is a rarity. This situation, while uncomfortable for the mullets, can result in a greater number of captures for dedicated hunters.
However, it is important to remind all hunters once again that mullets are an endangered species, and extra precaution should be taken when hunting in these sweltering temperatures when mullets are most vulnerable and at their most aggressive.
Mullet Hunter Justin caught this mullet out with his gal at a local truck stop. Truck Stop mullets are fairly common, this one sporting common summer plumage - white muscle shirt, tight black jeans, and pointed-toed cowboy boots. A very nice catch, Justin, of a classic mullet.
This "Courtroom Mullet" was caught by Travis. This constitutes a rare "double-catch", as this mullet was already in custody in the county court, having been apprehended once, mostly likely for the crime of "lookin' awesome." Travis shows his talent for covert mullet capturing by keeping his camera under wraps and coughing during the camera click. Nice work, Travis.
Next we showcase the excellent work of two new members of The Hunt, Daryl and Judith. Not only are their captures superb up-close specimins, but these are also INTERNATIONAL mullets, caught in Nova Scotia!
O Canada! This is a "Mullet Under Cover." While we don't actually SEE the mullet in all it's glory, we know through years of experience and stringent scientific analysis that it's definately there, under cover, most likely for the purpose of infiltrating the ranks of unsuspecting tourists. The camo "wife beater" and tan lines also aid in positive mullet identification. Nice catch!
Next we have another VERY impressive specimin - the "Mowhawk Mullet." This youth is proudly showing his independence by taking what would be a classic mullet and closely clipping the sides, such as a professional groomer would clip a show poodle. This extra grooming care not only keeps the mullet cooler in the summer with the added ventilation, but aids in achieving a healthy scalp tan to sustain the mullet for the long winter months ahead.
This is, perhaps, the best mullet thus far in our collection. Captured by yet another new mullet hunter, Trace. Trace shows he definately has the talent for world-class mullet hunting with this extaordinary specimin, captured at extreme close range. Trace obviously had to put himself in mortal danger to get close enough to this mullet, which has been dubbed by other mullet hunters as a "skullet." Skullets are by nature elusive, very volitile, and are definately the most aggressive of the mullet species, making their capture risky business indeed. Notice the redness in the facial area, perhaps indicating that Trace had soon vacate the immediate area or risk possible dismemberment. Also worth noting, this particular skullet is actually a sub-species, the extremely rare "Golden Skullet." Excellent piece of hunting, Trace...your moxie is to be admired.
Keep it up Mullethunters...2007 still has a long way to go! Stay safe, and happy hunting!
