The Deer Hunter


Yesterday was the last day of Muzzleloader Deer Season here. John explained to me what a Muzzleloader gun was - you actually load it from the barrel.


Anyway, John and his Poppy Derek went hunting last night. As you can see, they were successful. John was thrilled because he got to take along his BB Gun last night. After the hunt, they took the deer to the processing center. It was quite a night. (sorry for the grainy pic - it was late last night).
I'm not sure how my children came to love the great outdoors, camping, hunting and fishing so much - they must get that from their Daddy. I was happy for John because he was so excited and grateful to Poppy Derek for taking him along and teaching him all about gun safety, the woods and hunting.
Regular rifle season opens today. John says he had a great time last night and he is really looking forward to more hunting. I'm sure I'll have more pictures to post soon (John says I definitely will).

Wow John! What fun. Deer hunting takes a lot of patience. Gail, do you cook venison? I like it, I am not sure about PVD.

I do not cook venison - I don't like the taste. Nana does though, she cooks deer steak, deer burgers, deer sausage. They eat deer all winter.
