Hello. Hahahahaha! Man, that is right...about being important.
Hunting was and is tough this year as we had a rather mild summer and much, much rain. Plenty for the does to eat and there doesn't seem to have been quite the mortality rate amongst the offspring. They're just now starting to pay much attention to the feeders.
So far this is the only deer I have shot this season.
He WILL be eatten. My father-in-law has seen better days and he and his wife like dry sausauge made from venison. I cleaned the deer, let it cure a few days in a cooler, quartered it and took it to them over the Christmas holidays. It will be eatten without question.
Now I'm hunting for my wife and myself as we like to eat the venision in cassaroles, tacos, and so forth.
I tried to find one a couple of days ago to use my .44 Special on, but no luck.
Maybe soon.
Best.
