@jakedduck1, Yowsa, Jake! I am afraid this is a bit too much for us. Neither of us knows how to dress a deer (or undress?) and I don't really care for the taste of venison. I suppose we could throw the body in our creek, but the smell would overwhelm us. The vultures are not here to help us. There was a dead deer in the creek once. I discovered this while walking our dog. Another time, a friend came over and as soon as she stepped out of her car, she said "What's that smell?" I told her it must be something dead in the creek but we had not investigated. Her imagination took off and she said "What if it's a body?" I said I just hope it is not and let it go. @joybringer1

@jakeduck1 venison is a mainstay of our family’s diet and deer hunting is like an annual holiday! I do not hunt anything and never even saw such a thing until I moved to northern Minnesota and met my husband (and had 2 sons)! If there’s an animal to hunt here, I think they’ve gone after it and we eat it (other than squirrel-although I have it once or twice). My rule is no hunting on our property (3acres)-we live in the woods....they all think I was unfair....hehe. I gave up any hope of having a garden or flowers as deer ate everything. When my sons were little, we saw a doe with twin fawns that ate my geraniums every time they bloomed. They named the doe “Flower.” It was sweet. When they got older, dead deer hung from the rafters in our garage every fall and they bursted with pride with their accomplishments. Providing food for the family.....bonding with their father and the hunting party! What a strange place I live in🤪
