Now the football man I married could care less about hunting, but my stepdad is ALL about it. Football husband does love that it saves $$$ on our grocery bill when deer meat is passed to us. Alec went hunting for teh first time this year. I so hope he kills a deer. Where I'm from you must love 4 things: 1) God. 2) GA Bulldawg football 3)Garth Brooks and 4) hunting!!!<br /><br />Here's a health tip I betcha didn't know . . . deer is the cleanest meat there is, actually one of the healthiest you could eat. . . yep better than chicken and fish. . . that is according to Jordan Ruben author of "The Maker's Diet". See. . . . you're eating all healthy and didn't even know it!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946473078251300151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-69614741478215331542009-11-10T13:26:39.687-06:002009-11-10T13:26:39.687-06:00Hey, if your boys need hunting dates sometime in t...Hey, if your boys need hunting dates sometime in the future, my brother's girls are available. The oldest got her first last year, and the other two are itchin' to start. I think if they start liking football, they'll have guys lined up around the corner.<br /><br />There's just something about seeing a lovely young woman elbows deep in a gut pile.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14776960789422649695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-80873054054491200952009-11-10T08:45:26.458-06:002009-11-10T08:45:26.458-06:00The grin on your little man's face says it all...The grin on your little man's face says it all! My son is 13 and will be going hunting for the first time on Sat. My husband doesn't hunt, neither does my dad, but dad's whole family does. My uncle has a deer camp and the first day of deer season is also Thanksgiving Day for us. Hey, the whole family is together so why not? (Does is help when I tell you that the name of the camp is Camp Razoback?) With my luck, my kiddo will bring in a buck and I'll be forced to figure out what to do with all that meat.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488953794124006956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-339062947772399862009-11-10T08:32:49.808-06:002009-11-10T08:32:49.808-06:00I don't get it. But then I don't get base...I don't get it. But then I don't get baseball fever, either. But I do get the pride in accomplishment and the bonding of men and boys and rites of passage which are so important (and I venture to say, so rare these days). Your son is blessed to have such heritage.<br /><br />I'm thrilled for them all. And thrilled that you can make anything look cute. Even camo. ;)<br /><br />Well done, Sawyer.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576409086020993015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-22639697494705382642009-11-10T07:38:09.619-06:002009-11-10T07:38:09.619-06:00Although it is quite foreign to my family, I'm...Although it is quite foreign to my family, I'm totally ok with hunting. <br /><br />But I couldn't help thinking - ewww - there's blood on the new truck! <br /><br />:)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478677862481691763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-72545971671358119122009-11-09T22:09:07.366-06:002009-11-09T22:09:07.366-06:00Now this is awesome!

I'm impressed you're will...Way to go, Saw!<br /><br />I'm impressed you're willing to cut up and process the meat. I don't do raw meat...I like it in a neat little butcher-paper package and I try not to look while I dump it in the skillet.<br /><br />Also, I have a deer head in my freezer if you would like to complete your set.lisa@littlesliceoflifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999577252413065299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-90433919191183273102009-11-09T21:47:43.314-06:002009-11-09T21:47:43.314-06:00This is a language I didn't really grow up hea...This is a language I didn't really grow up hearing. My dad fished and occasionally hunted. Having two girly girls he certainly didn't take us hunting with him. <br />On the other hand, I married a man who LOVES to hunt so I know there will come a time my little guy will be joining dad out in the great outdoors. He also eats what he shoots. I don't so that leaves lots of meat for him :)Becca~CapturingSimpleJoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269232073211009288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-11085102597252859992009-11-09T21:44:45.469-06:002009-11-09T21:44:45.469-06:00Well, I'm so very glad that two of my besties ...Well, I'm so very glad that two of my besties know all things woodsy owl because my son is so very thankful he has a place to learn!!<br /><br />I am actually quite impressed that you can/will handle all that meat and it says a lot about your character as a wife/mother that you love and support your men, b/c I know PLENTY of women around here who could care.less.Tiffanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320279256655289711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-73042037240093085202009-11-09T21:16:19.431-06:002009-11-09T21:16:19.431-06:00Amb,

Suffice it to say, that there were two times our family attempted to "camp out" in the wild (actually, it was a park once, and a KOA the other.) Some kind of bug hit the whole family, including Nanny and cut that one short. The other was when I developed kidney infection after I got the tent up, and you all had to tear it down and get me home to the doctor the same night. Not very successful, I guess. I don't know why, for I used to hunt and camp with the family on the creek when I was a youngster.<br /><br />I did, however, on the heels of my grands, Sawyer, Jordan, AND KEATON, and their recent experience - I say again, on the heels of...when I went to Walmart today I actually stood and compared prices of the guns they had on display. Didn't buy but was tempted. Who knows, I might venture out over the holidays if Kirk and Kevin could stand it.<br /><br />I am proud of the boys. And looking for a slice of good venison. Yum, Yum!<br /><br />Later,<br />Jim-DadJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556537857098798281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-35872177475302207902009-11-09T20:13:13.586-06:002009-11-09T20:13:13.586-06:00Girl, girl, girl.

Our calendar revolves around magical "opening season" days, and I find myself watching way too many whispering man shows (aka hunting channel). While I don't participate in the preparation of the meat, I will eat it.<br />Congrats to Sawyer!!!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078543392410879361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024494770726686376.post-82706596041580507492009-11-09T19:05:40.359-06:002009-11-09T19:05:40.359-06:00What a rite of passage.
