Pondering The Hunts

[CCTAU]

So if the deer Are color blind and can’t see the orange, what’s the purpose of camouflage?  You’ve got half camo and half solid. 

Actually in Alabama, you only need an orange hat. Deer see shapes. If you are a big solid shape in front of a tree, they know something is up. The camo is to break up your outline.

srsly tho dude....I like teh smoked sausage and burger as much as the next guy but if you are rationalizing somehow that any cut of red meat is healthier than a piece of wild Alaskan salmon, sardines, mahi or cod - you are out of your mind. It’s Not even a close contest.

Saying deer meat is the leanest of all the red meats is like saying you’re the hottest chick in the Catholic Convent.

I’ve never caught any of those in the stare of Alabama...

I really enjoy the outdoors.  We (the family) camp, hike, kayak, fish and hunt a lot together.  I have a shooting house out at the farm that all four of us can sit in comfortably.  All my stands are Double ladder stands so I can take one of the boys one on one.  I love to be sitting in a stand about 5:15 and then start watching the sun rise and God's creation come to life.  I love watching the sun set and watch God's creation go to sleep.  The peace, quite, and time to gather your thoughts.  I love watching the look on my boys faces when they catch a big fish, finish a long kayak run and their excitement when they see a deer.  I'd rather be doing those kind of things instead of them playing video games, watching tv or being on their tablets.  There is one thing I do though that a lot may or may not do.  I always pray over a kill.  I thank God for the opportunity to do something that I love, for his creation, for the animal that lost it's life to me and that I put the kill to good use and not misuse it.

I don't think it is hunting anymore.  Everybody has feeders and you feed the animals year round and then in Winter you make them regret eating your food. 


Not much sport in that.

I just hope I don't have to start hunting for my food anytime soon.  I have no idea where to find donut seeds.

Teach deer to shoot and give them weapons and I might watch it.  Either that or require hunters to use only what they find in the woods.  No knives, no guns.  Rocks and sticks.

Meh. Let'em starve and rot. Maybe in your front yard. Or in your windshield.

Or they can provide a tasty service...from my freezer.

Not everybody. But thanks for reminding me to purchase my corn permit this season...

The smart ones eat at night. The rest are just as nature should be.
