However, we do deer hunt in KY. We only shoot what we will eat and we enjoy the deer meat, especially when we have it made into summer sausage or jerky.Kim@Snug Harborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066749954523201722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-61121264806682931542011-09-11T05:39:41.791-05:002011-09-11T05:39:41.791-05:00Now that was a fabulous outing!

But you don't get to see much wildlife here in Spain.CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-44261366860427772342011-09-11T02:06:45.331-05:002011-09-11T02:06:45.331-05:00Kim..that counting is interesting...never heard of...Kim..that counting is interesting...never heard of that either. In MN it would have been 8 & 10 and I'm pretty sure WA did the same. Maybe it is just in the area of ID she is from?? Either way I would love to have had a shot (totally offending your first poster) and put that in my freezer. Meat in Alaska is outrageous.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121205250839003802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-2743815127519871562011-09-10T07:34:53.076-05:002011-09-10T07:34:53.076-05:00Della: I've never heard that about the wester...Della: I've never heard that about the western way of counting just one side.

The deer in Florida are so small.<br />Here in the east all points are counted, out west only one side of the rack is counted. I would call those a 4 point, and a 5 point instead of an 8 and 10. Still an impressive size, though.Dellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826435478377353342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-62275986288719921652011-09-09T22:34:17.913-05:002011-09-09T22:34:17.913-05:00OH WAIT, click on the picture, there is a bigger o...OH WAIT, click on the picture, there is a bigger one behind the tree, how cool is that?

Unhealthy deer don't grow like this guy! These folks are passionate to keep as much natural resources as possible despite the high value of land in this area. Without them someone would be making a fortune however sites like this just would not happen. I applaud them and you Kim for this wonderful picture. Thanks! I love Chicago!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12644093093592973511noreply@blogger.com
