yesterday was opening day of deer season here in NY...our old dear friends fom the norht country came down like they ahve for several years...up and out early in the morning they went (me i stayed in bed to keep the home fires going hahaha)...back in for lunch at noon...so lunch was had and off they went again..i then went to my project of crocheting (yes christine that is what i said crocheting!!!!!)--( i am working on a shawl for the missions at church)...anyway as i was in the living room doing my thing and in comes larry huffing and puffing...i ask what's the matter and he says it is a long story...so i knew something was up...he then starts to tell me the story that he saw this deer that was struggling to walk and another deer was with it so he thought that he ought to put the injured one down so he shot only to find out that he hit the wrong deer...and then had to find the other one to shoot it so it wasn't suffering any more...so now he has 2 deer --oh they were legal as he had tags for them both...it was decided to give one of them to our friendsso they could have some meat to take home...
off to the butcher we went after they wer cleaned up a bit...
this morning ellie decided to sleep in and as we were enjoying a quiet breakfast we saw 4 deer in the back yard...we both could have gotten our guns and shot at them but we didn't want to..figured we let the men do that
i guess we won't starve the winter as there will be some vension in the freezer and the season is young and there are still tags to be filled...
