deer meat

My coworker told me all about the virtues of deer meat yesterday. Did you know that when your son kills a deer, it costs only $60 to have it slaughtered (extra to get jerky made). This deer will yield about 50 pounds of meat, which means you will have to keep half in your freezer, and half in your mother's freezer. You can have bologna (pronounced "baloney" or "bal-oh'-na", alternately) made from it, even. Delish by all accounts. This meat is very lean (ever see a fat deer?). And if you didn't tell your husband it was ground deer, he would have eaten it for sure. But it reportedly IS an acquired taste.

Here are a few more pictures of Aubrey, taken by Rebekah.

Awww Bambi. Love the pics. You should print some and do a whole wall of black and whites of Aubrey! Cute girl.

Deer meat is REALLY good. Especially the backstraps. Great pics of Aubrey again. I am sure that Sammi would take offense to you saying "when your SON" gets a deer, b/c she has always wanted to go deer hunting.
