I agree. My post started out as a joke, but I have been known to eat venison throughout the winter months in years past. I do not enjoy hunting, as I love animals, but I would help clean the deer and prep it for freezer storage and eating. I am 100% for thinning the huge deer population by open season hunting and high limits. And my grandson shot his first buck when he was 11yo. His father had the head mounted. ALL game that were/are shot in our family is consumed, other than pests such as skunk, groundhog and fox.

I do take pride in being a very good cook when it comes to venison, and I have done pretty well with squirrel also.

But, like the rest of you on here, I love a beautiful photo of a deer. They are so graceful, it's hard to believe that they are over populated and cause so much damage in traffic.
