So I don’t know if you guys know, or even care for that matter, but in the state of Virginia, rifle season starts Saturday November 14th, and I am pumped. This weekend has caused me to have to do a large amount of work this week because Lord knows I’m not going to do any while I home. And that is also the reason I am posting this blog early. Because right around the time it is due on Sunday night, I will coming down the interstate and it probably wont be a good idea to try to be posting this and drive at the same time, plus I wouldn’t get internet so I would be screwed either way right?! And has this past week and the one coming up been hell for anyone else? It seems to me that all of the teachers are trying to get that one last test in before Thanksgiving Break, so they can start hassling us about final exams after Thanksgiving Break. Anyway, back on topic here. So I am going home and I am going to scout around Friday afternoon and see where the deer are coming in to feed, so that way, I’ll have a fairly good idea of where to set Saturday morning when I have to get up BEFORE the crack of dawn and walk in and get myself settled before daylight. I just hope it isn’t freezing, which ‘m sure it will be, but hopefully it’ll all be worth it and I’ll get my buck. Unless opening day is doe day, which I’m not sure about and probably need to look into. Now I know that many people feel that those who hunt deer are horn hunters and they only do it to kill the biggest buck they can, but not me. When I pick my deer, I go for body size and amount of meat. After all, I plan on eating it and feeding others with it. Why would I pick a scrawny little thing with no size to it at all? But you also have to watch out, because if the buck is too big, it’ll taste like crap because the meat will be strong because of high levels of testosterone. But if you kill one big enough to wear it tastes horrible, he was probably big enough to mount. But there I go sounding like a horn hunter! But just so you know, my family doesn’t hunt for the glory of a big kill, we do it for the food. We try to get enough meat to where that can be our main meat for the winter. Deer meat is probably the best red meat for you that there is. I mean they are all natural and lean because they don’t eat grains, just grass and berries, not to mention it tastes delicious if cooked properly. Now I would like to know how you all feel about hunting. Do you think it is ok or do you think it is cruel? Have you ever had deer meat and if so do ya like it? Seriously I want to know how you feel because I know a lot of people that say we shouldn’t hunt.
