Right before dark I got a phone call, although I don`t remember the number I do know it when I see it.
Tony was calling telling me he got another deer and I need to help him clean it.I don`t really do nothing but wash it off, bag t and freeze it. I was thankful that he gave his elder half of it.
Tony was very happy that he got more meat for himself and his elder that can no longer hunt due to being to old.
Its hard on Tony but the doctors want him to get back to living his life and doing what he wants to do. He wants to hunt for his food, so be it.
Anyone ever had to kill and clean their old food?

Good job for him! Also great that he can share it. Does killing and cleaning fish count? Haha I have helped tan a hide before.

The guts, head and hide goes back to nature, the wild animals gets those. My dogs get the feet and the heart. The liver is sliced and shared with others.
Yes fish counts. And I have not ever tanned a hide before.

@andriaperry Hmmm, yet there is no reason to make it legal in India as it is against wildlife.

@andriaperry Yes but meat attached to an animal. I can wash meat from the butcher but no way I am cutting it off anything with a head. You are a renaissance woman, you can do so many things. You make jam, run your own business and take care of someone, come on, you are amazing.

I bet you remember the days when everyone had to hunt for meat or raise their own.

@andriaperry I also eat fish, so I know that it's like I kill them, but I cannot do this myself.

You are like me, I am the gatherer, can`t kill an animal.
But I do eat fish so I do kill them.

Most years, we end up with a deer skinned and hanging in the middle of our garage. Jay has never shot one, but others who get two or three, give him one for the freezer.

@andriaperry Actually that wont happen because I am complete vegetarian
It was not that I never use to eat non veg but the day I visited the meat shop things completely changed and now being more into spiritualism the urge itself went away for good.

If only I could grow the kinds of veggies I like but none of them grow well in hot arid climates @andriaperry

I think its more humane because these animals are free and not waiting line to be killed.

I was practically born and raised hunting and fishing out in the woods, although I haven't been hunting in years! Probably up until about the end of my 20s my dad and I would do a lot of hunting, so yes, I've killed and cleaned my own food. I might get back into it again soon, as my teenage son has been expressing an interest in going hunting.

@andriaperry You mean for the impending collapse of society and zombie apocalypse? Yeah, that stuff will all come in handy! Better to be prepared!

I think its good for people to learn to provide their own food. Hunting, fishing or growing. Never know when those skills will come in handy for a survival reason.
