... the Carnivore State
A Bear ate my deer ...
A friend of mine who is just starting deer hunting with his son asked me what I do with the remains of a deer or elk when I get one. I take the meat out - and whatever else is necessary to satisfy game regulations, or perhaps if there is something worthy mounting on my wall, but besides that, the creatures of the night generally clean up the rest. I gave him stories of some past hunts as illustrations, but perhaps the most recent is the best ... from my journal.
