Tell all 'dem Deers....Watch Out!!!

Well, it's that time...the season of killing innocent little animals for dinner! And and as much as I hate thinking of that tearjerker, Bambi (terrible movie), I do love me some deer steaks, deer giblets, and deer jerky! So, I thank the Lord I have a hunter man for a husband (beard and all). I think it's quite manly(!!!!) to see my man all...

BA BAM! Ready for the Kill!

I don't mind the dirt smears and scary face paint. Just look how those baby blues shine! haha So, we have 40 pounds of deer meat already in our freezer from some friends of a friend who killed four deer and gave us two! My hubby spent about five hours processing the meat, grounding most of it, and neatly wrapping it ready for the freezer and my belly. We've already had deer chili (da bomb!) and meaty spaghetti...all without a hint of that icky gamy taste. (Don't think I'll ever enjoy that musky flavor). The goal is to get enough deer meat this season to live off (mainly) deer and fish for the upcoming year. Hey, these are tight times and we'll save a lot of money!! But, the coolest thing about this hunting season is this girl who is ready to hang with her hubby in the woods...silently...for hours...without making a peep...in the cold...who is just there for company...who has no gun....

I know, you're thinking, "who could this huntress warrior be...all decked out in camo?"

That's right...ME! Little bit 'a pink is good for them deers! 

(Don't worry, I'll close my eyes when the shot is fired. Need to show Bambi some respect!)
