Hunting season is upon us; Bow? Rifle? Let the butchers do it, I want mine from the grocery store? Who's game?

Deer season is in full swing here with the cold front, moon phases and freshly cut fields. Do you like the challenge of a bow? The simplicity and accuracy of a rifle and scope? Or do you prefer your meat out of the grocer case at the local market? (Other choice: do you eat their food and allow them to go hungry as vegetarians?) I'm from a family of hunters. Do you have your trophies taxidermied?

I'm guilty of liking the hunt but also a little chagrined this year. My oldest son was up and we were headed out to the 2 seater to go hunt when a great one was eating one of my apples. So the hunt lasted less than a minute with a shot by the hot tub. Son said something unmentionable to me as last year's hunt was 12 minutes thinking that would never be beat. Hang for 2 days, butchered, vacuumed sealed, and in the freezer next to everything else. If you haven't had top strap stir fry, you're missing out on something special. Have no idea what next year's encore will be.
I'll admit hunting isn't for everybody but up here in Northern Idaho, most do.

I've eaten venison all my life. I prefer elk. Moose isn't bad and bear is greasy gross in my childhood memory. I don't hunt but am surrounded by avid sportsmen so I get to share the spoils, and yes, I know how to cook it. A few people I know filled their tags the first couple days they went with bows this year.

Maj Kim Patterson, I know something about weapons and the outdoors, but I'm with you. We'll just do all our hunting at the grocery store!

It was a very brief period in my life when I was capable of remaining motionless and silent and I hate the cold. Point me towards the butcher...

Maj Kim Patterson I am currently recovering from an amputation but I really enjoyed sitting out with the black powder gun. Nothing like venison sausage on Christmas morning.
