Man, I hate this time of year. With huntin' season in fool, ahh strike that, full swing it seems that there some poor ol' deer hangin' from a tree infront of every house up in this Wes Ginny holler and well, here's my beef... or venison in this case. What makes these other hillbillies think that throwing the danged legs in the wood is at all civilized?

I mean, every mountin dog worth his salt has a big ol deer leg stickin' out both sides of his dumb dog head, mine included. Not that danged leg is out on the front porch and the dogf is in the house and wants to lick me. Like that's gonna happen? Right?

Anyone else have this problem?

Jeez, Bobert, what I miss, livin' in downtown Toronto!

Our biggest excitement comes when the raccoons bust open the garbage bag.

Around here its the morons that think that the roadside is a real good place to toss what's left of the carcasses after they're finished cleaning 'em. The north end of the road we live on ends in a Y with about 10,000 square feet of pine scrub between the branches of th Y. The local yahoos seem to have designated it the dumping ground for unwanted animal carcasses. In addition to dozens of deer carcasses I've seen a large snapping turtle, a sea turtle, lots of unwanted fish including a tarpon and a large shark and a couple of coyotes. I'd like to think it's just one moron dumping all the shit, butI sorta doubt it.

Yeah? Try ELK farts!

We did have a sort of 'retribution' in the EC this week. Dogs had gotten into rotten carcasses, ate their fill, then proceeded to vomit everywhere at home. When the owners brought them in, I left the happy family in the examination room long enough for the pooches to vomit a few times in front of their owners. Nice warm room, putrid smell, and LOTS of puke noises... From the looks of them, I doubt the owners will risk a repeat next year! Mwah-hah-hah-hah....

Yes, Bobert, as a one-time resident of West-bah-God-Virginia, I'll never forget the first time I awoke to find one of the dogs on our farm gnawing away on a trim little fur-bound stick with shiny little hooves. I'd always heard a hunter is supposed to make use of every part of his prey, but perhaps skinny little venison shanks just doesn't make it as osso bucco (or is that osso bucko, Bucko?).

Actually, at the height of deer season in WV the only thing more plentiful than disembodied deerlegs on the porch are the ubiquitous and dangerous Beer-Bellied Sudsucker and the ferociously stupid Dimbulbed Shadowblaster, both usually found on weekend migratory runs from DC and its suburbs. All you can do is wear lots of orange and keep yer head down until it all blows over...

Well, Rev.Bobert, my friend, it looks as if it's been raining dead dear all along Leesburg Pike here and there. Actually saw one of the deer-departed's carcass' knocked clear ( but not clean ) headless and hoping that the angle of impact of a truck is what did it and *not* some wanna-be deer-hunter who knew immediately what to do when he saw the "easy-pickin's" road-side roadkill oppurtunity of that stone-cold rack and screeched to a pull-over on the road and dutifully lop of the head just to have a trophy for the rec-room.

So y'all are suffering a plague of venison drunsticks are ya?
Sounds like a biblical sign to me.
Can a shower of frogs be far behind. ;-)

BTW: This isn't your way of suggesting that another Bobert & Eve BBQ is coming up is it ? ;-)

Deer huntin ended last weekend up hyar. Not too much fuss and bother this particklar time.

Last year someone thoughtfully gutted a deer carcass then dumped it over a bank onto the part of our property where I walk the dog every day...thanks a lot!

Dog hasn't even brought any souvenirs.

I find it all kind of surprising because I saw more deer lately than ever in my life.

Rick, what's a "garbage bag"?

Saw one traditional pick-up truck with the customary gun-rack
with a crumpled front fender and bumper with a few silhoette's of deer heads within a circle with an "x" on top of it.

Wonder whom the Red Baron of Road kill is and if his vehicle is a bright red Dodge off-road behemoth. ;-)

My very own brother butchered a deer he'd shot once. Put the remains in plastic trash bags and took them down to the city's trash truck site to load into a trash truck. While doing so, a leg bone fell onto the ground. Police were parked in the truck lot eating donuts. They saw a leg bone.... No, he wasn't arrested; after inspecting the offal they complimented him on being a good citizen and all. Gave him quite a turn though, when that cop put a hand on my bro's shoulder....

Where my family hunts, they field dress and then leave that for the coyotes to clean up (they take the rest of the carcass to a meat processor). Ever hear the song the coyotes sing over a gut pile? Talk about romance!

No deer legs, but I did get an unpleasant surprise on my commute home a couple of days ago when I was passed on the highway by 2 SUV's sporting 2 deer carcasses each, lashed to the back of the vehicle. Yuck! I suppose I should be glad there are 4 less to run across the road in front of me, but it grossed me out, just the same.

I leave the gut pile for the coyotes, de-bone the venison,cut and wrap the meat, then roast the bones to get all the flesh off, tan the hide, cook all the scrapes for the dogs, and grind the bones for bone meal that I put on my rose beds.

Ha! Just kidding! Yeah I got two dogs knawing on leg bones as we speak, only not on the porch, they are a little cagier then that and hide them. I notice they always get plumper around deer season.

Any of you hunters live close to me? I wouldn't turn down a leg of venison or twelve. Yum.

Too late here, Hollowfax. My dog has now taken care of anything that would resemble dinner to you and it's not just a 3 foot long pure white leg bone with a hoof. Well, at least she won't loose it like she does the chewy toys I get her....

One year, I had a doe's head on the front porch so I guess I should count me blessings...
