Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Howdy y'all, My two cents on this one. Had a cat once that got a urinary infection. Lucky I was the military vet was a friend cause he came in during the middle of the night on a weekend to take care of the cat .. which he said could have died within hours. He said cats don't eat today as they were intended to eat .. they are missing the bones and feathers and entrails and such. Got a dog now (Hunter) and a cat (Shadow). Both came to us hungry and poor .. showed up a couple of months apart, adopted us, and decided to live here. Now they are fat and sassy. They eat and sleep together. Shadow hunts .. and he is good. Hunter hunts .. and he is better. They are both fortunate in that in four short trips out I have put 4 deer in our freezers this year and there are no scraps wasted. The bones and sinew and all other parts are consumed by these critters. Afore the anti-hunting crowd gets their knickers in a knot .. here in Henry County, TN we have more deer than we have people .. and we have more wild turkeys than we have deer. Driving at night above 25 MPH is dangerous .. two folks have died already and there have been many accidents with injuries. Its not always cars hitting deer .. its sometimes deer hitting cars. Wild critters will reproduce faster than us tame critters and they will overpopulate and cause their own demise if not properly managed. They are properly managed here. I know .. man upset the balance when he did in the preditors. Now that we know Who Shot John lets move on by managing the mistake make by our forefathers. Bringing more preditors into Henry County is not the solution. I have one more buck to take to fill my legal quota .. but we can take three doe a day throughout the season and that is going to put a tiny dent in their population. I will take my remaining buck and I will take three more doe or perhaps button bucks (which count as antlerless deer). Reason is .. my best buddy wants one and my two kids and their families want one each. With what we grew and canned (over 600 jars) and froze (3 freezers full) and dried .. we cut our grocery bills by 80%. Today I am going to Lowes to purchase one more freezer .. gotta get it for the ducks that we will start hunting next week .. and the wild turkey season in January .. and the fish I intend to stash from Kentucky Lake. Oh yea .. and the deer I intend to take tomorrow morning. None of the remnants from these wild critters will go to waste. All will be consumed by my wild critters. ;-) Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch .. http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Butch, Please be careful of the deer remains. The bones are hard enough to puncture a dog intestines. They never get small enough to be safe. That is why the native americans used the deer bones for needles for sewing. It punctured the hides perfectly. We burned our deer bones. We did lose a dog to deer bones. Hugs, Jan S NEW E-MAIL ADDY sweetprairie1 May your troubles be less, your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door!
