(7,720 posts)We spent more time in the cabin than we did hunting. We installed a new propane range to go with the new kitchen cupboards we installed in October. My father and 5 of his 7 grandsons were there as well. My almost 82 year old father shot two deer in 4 minutes. He was excited and we were excited for him. One of my brothers and I make venison sausage. Deer hunting is a time of family comradery. I don't really expect you to understand.
One of my brothers had a young buck hang around his stand long enough for him to get a video of the deer dancing around his deer stand. The young deer came back the next day as well. The last couple days of deer season, I watched a young fork buck feed and wander around. If it had been the first day, that deer would have become sausage. Since it was the last day, we'll see how big he is next year, if he stays on our property.
I live in Minnesota where we have 500,000 deer hunters. Wisconsin has about 700,000 deer hunters. Both states have long traditions of deer hunting. Do you really believe all of those deer hunters are sick?
I forgot to ask you if you are a vegetarian?
