Deer this year



Yep. Ain't he a big one? My stepfather got two deer yesterday. It's been exciting here with that big buck being got. This buck is well known in the area and everyone was out trying for him. A lot of people drove by slow to see the buck hanging in the yard here. Some people stopped in to get a good look at him up close. He was big, real big. We butchered him today. He gave us a lot of meat. It took us most of the day to process the meat.

Tomorrow we will butcher the small deer.

Yes. This year's deer hunt was exciting. I've watched that buck pass through over time and every year he evades the hunters. Of course we are all happy for the meat and proud that our family got him yet.... we don't fool ourselves, it is sad to see the 'Master of the Wood' come down. Now one of his sons out there will step up to take his place. It's time.
