Without going into any detail, I know a friend of his via another group, who gave me a little more insight into the man, and just what a loss his death is to the gun culture and industry. Apparently his health had been poor for a while.

First day of rifle season and I have no where to hunt with a rifle.

Out with my bow at least, but that is just a different animal. I saw four different deer today (including an absolute moster buck) and did not have a safe bow shot at any if them. all woild have been easy rifle shots.

Oh well, going out with the rifle tomorrow at my uncle's place since he is not going out tomorrow. Hopefully, a bit mor luck.

Deer hunting when the deer are not moving is just squirrel watching.

What I hate more is sitting in a stand in the dark waiting for first light and listening to the little bastards cavorting below. I always hope it's a deer even though I know it's not.

How is it that the Sami in Finnland and whatever that bunch over in Tuva I saw in the documentary "The Horse Boy" have domesticated reindeer or at least tamed them enough to ride them, yet we haven't domesticated deer on the same scale like we have cows, pigs, and chickens? I love me some venison and I wonder how come we're not able to raise deer on ranches?

And every time I get venison jerky I swear it's cut with pork or beef.

Demand. And what youre getting probably is cut with pork or beef fat, for ground meat or sausage, due venison being so lean. Also, keep in mind too, the timetable it probably took to domesticate them. Its not something likely to be done in less than half a century.

For sausage, you need a little fat. Venison is very lean, and deer fat is nasty stuff.

For jerky, and I have made many many pounds of it, venison is great. Lean, low fat, chewy. Jerky meat.

Yep, we'd always get some suet from the butcher to add to our vension sausage.
