Deer

We live in the woods, so I have a stay at home hunter at least until a turkey hunt comes up. I have never had the desire to hunt, but I am for it, as it helps control the deer population, and provides meat that is better for you than beef. I love seeing deer leaping through the woods, and grazing by the creeks. I am moved when I watch fawns playing like puppies. I think deer are one of God's prettiest, most graceful creatures, but they just shouldn't taste so good. Today I stood for an eternity cutting up and packaging venison, and thought of all the other wives who will be doing the same thing when their hero brings in his kill. Some things don't change. Good luck to you big hunters, and to the wives who stand by them.
