Hunting Season begins!

We were sitting in the drive through line at McDonalds (a great American pastime!) The children suddenly exclaimed "Look Mummy". The truck in front of us had a deer hoof sticking straight up at 90 degrees! We turned our eyes right and the truck next to us had a doe strapped to the back of it, dead, but eyes open, still bleeding from being shot. The question "Where are we living?" sprang to mind!! Not a sight you would ever see in the UK. No one thought it remotely extraordinary except me and my children it seemed!!


Something "manly" happens at the beginning of hunting season here. The "hunt and gather" gene completely takes over and men all over the state get their hunting gear on and freeze for hours in their "deer blinds" in the hopes of getting their two legal bucks. Phone calls are made to boast of how many points the antlers are and freezers are filled with venison of every type imaginable.

Again, the question "where are we living?" still springs to mind, although we are loving the venison that all our friends are offering and filling our freezer with!

Brad went and froze in a deer blind with a friend. Check out the photo of him in his hunting gear! What has happened to my husband I ask myself??? "What can I say, support is low, we need to eat meat!"
