Oh Deer!

Whew..what a long week it has been! I feel like I've been running 'round for days! Hmm, maybe because I have been!

It is hunting season round these parts. My husband Jason and his PAL (hehe) only spent two days hunting though. Levi got his deer on opening day, practically first thing in the morning, just before 9 a.m. They didn't get the deer back to our friend Shortmama and Levi's house until around 1 p.m., and we didn't get out of their place from getting everything bagged up until 9 p.m. So that made for a long day.

The very next day, Saturday, they were off again to try and get Jason's deer. When he left in the morning I told him "have a great day sitting on your ass doing nothing, please don't shoot anything today so we can rest". He.Didn't.Listen. Not only did he Not listen, he didn't shoot the deer until almost sundown, somewhere in the 5 p.m. hour. Sooooo...we had to wait for Grumpy Old Men to get home (that's how I think of these two, they are comical like that).

So they had to drag the deer over all of creation again to get it back to the Ranger. They got back to shortmama's place at 9 p.m. where we were happily waiting, cause ya know we like to spend two days back to back doing the same thing! Amanda and I were going to have ourselves some drinks to help get us through the night, but..we were too tired for that. After all was said and done...we were home and in bed just after 1 a.m.

Here are some pics that show our night on the 2nd night:

  2. Those are some huge freakin' horns! I love how Levi looks half dead in that picture where Jason's flippin you the bird. : )
    By the way: a weird question here...how come you don't let the meat hang for a bit there? Seems like the hunters up here always let it hang for a night or so. Is it cuz it's so hot? It would probably get really gross...?

  4. I think most men can be compared to Grumpy Old Men in one way or the other.

  5. My husband actually hasn't hunted the last two years - thank goodness - because you are right - it takes forever! I love the Grumpy old Men comparison!
