The boys are out hunting too. I didn't want Ricky to, but I don't want to not let him go, just because I wouldn't go. I love watching them and on the bus route always point out the deer to the kids. I bet we see at least 15 or more of a morning. It just depends and we see them all through the route.

It makes me sad that they are killed, but I know a lot of people that do hunt. I think the last time I went hunting was rabbit hunting. I was out at the in-laws and had my sights on a rabbit, just as I pulled the trigger, it turned and looked at me and then my father-in-law (trying to be funny) said "oh no....that was my favorite one."

I cleaned the rabbit at the flowershop and then took it home. The next night I fried it all up, had mashed potatoes and good ole rabbit gravy and invited Mom out. I took one bite and got sick. I just couldn't stop seeing the rabbit turn and look at me. So...that was the last time and it was probably 20-25 years ago...maybe longer than that...I don't know.

I know you guys eat the meat, but the venison just doesn't taste good to me. I bet it sure helps with the grocery bill though huh?
