Fresh Venison

For those of you who enjoyed the backstrap bbq at the reunion, I took a doe this morning. First deer of the season for me. Hopefully, there'll be a few more so I can bring some venny to the reunion next summer! No pictures on this one. Just an average doe...

You TOOK a doe??? I thought you were supposed to shoot it or something. How did you TAKE it? Walk up to it (you are a WALKER afterall) and tell it You are Mine? And then you TAKE it home??? Tee hee!

Perhaps in fact you actually used black powder, a bow or perhaps a high power rife or a shotgun.

We were in Rocky Mountain National Park this afternoon where we saw one herd of elk of about 200. Perhaps I could have taken one home had it agreed to get on my roof. Of course, they don't allow hunting, but if it comes willingly . . .

We are in North Platte, Neb. tonight and will be in Iowa City on Sunday night.

Steve,
Our son Justin "took" his first ever deer a week or so ago. He was hunting by himself close to the camp where he works. That one deer will last his small family a long time. He also processed his first deer with only minimal help. It was an 8 point.

Way to go Justin!

Tom, I shot it with my shotgun at about 35 - 40 feet. I was at the top of a ridge overlooking a large depression. She came up a fence row and jumped the fence just below my blind.

So, by my reconing, she walked up to me and said I'm your's Mr. Walker!

Tee hee!
