Nice

Nice story too.

[Lurker]

Wow. Nice animal. Well done.

[Dogbert41]

Not sure who has the trophy here!

[NohSpinZone]

Cue the all PETA types who are going to harass this hunter for “murdering” this buck. I have a hunch that this same outrage mob would be very much pro-abortion too.

Context.

Nice rack!

[vetvetdoug]

What in that picture is there not to like?

[BBell]

I was standing there with my hand out ready to get in, and he just passed me right up and went straight to it

Well her husband has a good eye for nice things but I'm not sure about his priorities.

[Bigg Red]

Wow! It’s “yooge”!

[Thank You Rush]

“”Well her husband has a good eye for nice things but I’m not sure about his priorities.””

LOL!

[VRWCarea51]

Yes Sir, I’d mount it.
As to the Deer, Nice.

[Bob]

Yes Sir, I’d mount it.

Laz, is that you posting under another name?

[Daffynition]

Congrats

I’ll wager that the venison will be tough and chewy ...get out the crock pot. :)

People down here can work some magic when it comes to wild game or anything that comes out of the water. Sportsman Paradise and everyone can cook,grill etc.

[Daffynition]

And Swamp Yankees have some great recipes handed down through generations from forefathers who lived off the land. So?

I was so pleased to have found my great-grandmother’s recipe for preparing canvasback duck this morning. Joy!

My *point* is that older deer provide tougher meat than the young ‘uns...and prep is somewhat different.

If you use your lobsters (or are those crawdads [I can’t tell]) as an example; the larger [3# up] ones are much tougher than the smaller ones; and hard shell lobsters are different than soft shell. Jes sayin’

[BBell]

They are crawfish. The biggest difference between up north and down here is you can live off the land year round down here. There is always something you can grow,hunt or catch. My Mother lives in Indiana and growing up they had an acre garden and all summer long they would can and can. And that includes beef and fish. Never pork of poultry.

While I'm on the subject of game I have lived a lot of places and everything is bigger up north when it comes to game. Deer, rabbits, squirrels etc. I figure it's because of the harsh winters that the game has to endure.

[BBell]

Demelo, probably used to be De Melo is a Sicilian surname. Of course that’s not for sure. Does she look like she has some Italian in her?

[dp0622]

Oh yeah! Definitely!

Well, one can never be definite, but she resembles MANY Italian gals I know. And has the features that are share by Italian and Jewish gals.

Strange that Italian and Jewish gals should look similar. I dont see any historical connection.

Not like Jews under Roman occupation could marry Roman men.

[BBell]

Not like Jews under Roman occupation could marry Roman men

But they could fornicate with them

“What in that picture is there not to like?”

Looks like maybe a classic old car in the barn too! The only thing missing is the weapon she used.

I love our seasons. They are a part of my heart & soul. :)
