You Kill Some, You Feed Some

For those of you continuing the hunting expedition this weekend, foodie file offers a nice newby-deer-hunter piece by Philip Dorwart. Is it true that “there is relatively little meat that you can just grill or sauté and serve from these animals”? Forty pounds of jerky and no steak? Hardy seems worth it.

For those of you animal-loving types who cringe at the thought of killing and eating poor Bambi, well, first of all, why are you even reading this post? But, assuming you are not just feeding your latent sadistic tendencies, here’s a kinder (albeit sassy) Lazy Lightning post about the current organic pet food craze.

(To the tune of “John Henry, Steel Driving Man“)

Buck Henry said to his ladies
Says “a deer ain’t nothin’ but a deer”
Before I let this statue beat me down
Lawd, I’ll die with concrete chips on my ears
Lawd, Lawd, I’ll die with concrete chips on my ears

Call it funny, call it noble, call it sad, call it Wisconsin.

Bye Bye Bambi

And…. yes, the firearms deer season opener has finally arrived (almost)!

Gov. Pawlenty is on his way to Thief River Falls.  Hundreds of deer hunters are preparing for Saturday’s opener at the Oakdale Gun Club in Lake Elmo. Nearly 500,000 Minnesotans will exercise their right to bear arms [and kill] this Saturday. And the DNR is already complaining about the rise in deer poaching.

Where will you be?

Whatever you do, keep your eye on the road!
