Way to go! Get the little woman involved in your Loony buying decisions. Pretty hard to rag on you for spending money if she is " part of the problem".
Well played.
Thanks, We went deer hunting on our honeymoon 21 years ago.... and it was her idea! We have hunted together every year since and do all our own butchering. Jayne is an MD and we had a physician assistant student staying with us during deer season this year. It was fun watching Jayne and Sarah inventory EVERY internal deer organ...… here is a fun fact, deer do not have gallbladders. Apparently they don't need them.
Sarah is a city girl but was totally on board with a "meat is meat" outlook. She spent hours helping with the butchering process. Venison is now high on her list of great food. We sent her home with a variety of cuts she helped butcher.
It was also fun meeting a Campfire member after StarchedCover moved into the high country last year. He was really busy with a new job and house hunting. He got one deer and we wanted him to have a chance at a second one..... He didn't seem to like the looks of the elevated box blind and declined an offer to use it. Another friend and I were up there trying to alert him to deer coming out at the far side of the field. The text messages went something like; Deer DEER! Look to your left.... dee Then the deer started to move off so Dave and I did a "On three" countdown and bagged 2 more.....
