deer in the garden -> shutgun -> boom -> dinner for weeks :-). No just kidding... only if I was starving :-) God bless.

LOL, dont laugh. I think that it's going to come to that before too long. And I am not a big fan of deer meat. But if my belly is growling........... :o)

Deer meat can be good if it is processed immediately and correctly. Then ya gotta cook it right.

Being an animal lover, I might feel bad about killing a deer in the garden. Kinda takes the fairness of the hunt out of it. But as you said...if we are starving.......

i like to piss out side if i dont hear a car and i can hear a car a mile away im going to wipp it out and then a damn horse and rider will come by and wave. stray dogs dig in your trash my neighbors leave me alone and thats cool neighbor kids are board and like to raise hell. but they grow up and move away so they are probably become problem or they grow up. land is so expensive

Really like the video thakns for the outlook on things there

How sweet of you to post this video! You are absolutely right and it is a positive video. Years ago, the farmer was the nicest person you'd ever meet! My grandfather owned a dairy (delivered door to door); and when people couldn't pay their bill; he'd say, "It's time to butcher a cow!" He'd go to the homes that owed him money and hand out beef. (for free) When he retired at 55 years old, he washed away all debts to him and gave his dairy to his children. THAT'S COUNTRY!

Yeah, never forget your wallet at home when you are at a store. Too far to drive home in the boonies to get it. Expect 12 hour days to work that garden, milk those goats, plus housework, fixing things, building/repair fences, tractors, gates, etc. Sun up till sun down, no matter if you work a job off the land or work on your own place. Be ready to be tired. Want to sit on a swing sipping iced tea? Buy a condo with a nice patio and grow food in containers and rabbits in the back yard for meat

I did just what your video is talking about. I could not be happier!

I've never had a gamey tasting deer.

Kill it, drain it, cook it, eat it.

I hate city folk complaining of the country smells. It smells good to me.
