Getting food the hard way

Sure. I could have gone over to Gelson's or Bristol Farms and bought some overpriced, free-range, cruelty-free, grass-fed, organic venison for $12/lb, but where is the fun in that? Why not spend big bucks and put yourself through all sorts of pain and frustration to get some meat the old fashioned way? Hunting!

After a couple weeks of scouting and two weekends of hunting, I finally harvested a buck.

Not huge, but I'll take it. Got lots of meat in the freezer now.

I'm looking forward to cooking some venison. I already have four or five recipes lined up for the first week or two. I must say, you have a much better appreciation for your food when you put this much effort into it.
