OH MY that reminds me of my daughter's 4-H picture last year....she wanted to take pictures of deer guts.... Honestly, it came out really vivid and clear and a well taken photograph, however the GIRL judges just did not think it was appropriate to go to the state fair. I thougth it was hilarious and I am a girl!!!

Our ritual for the first deer was a bite of the heart . ICK!!!

Bluey, congratulations on your first deer. You should try and read Patrick McManus's story on "The First Deer". I don't understand why a wife would object to having such a hard won trophy proudly displayed. You should tell her she would really like living at Opa's house. In my great room, a combination dining/living room, I'm looking at 2 mounted deer heads, 1 pronghorn antelope, 2 european style deer racks, 2 Caribou, 1 mounted squirrel, 1 glass end table w/mounted red fox, 1 turkey fans, red fox, grey fox, otter, beaver, skunk pelts, 1 wolf trap, 1 elk shed antler floor lamp, 1 large whitetail deer oil painting, 14 whitetail deer lithographs and a elk antler cribbage board. Plus the swagged curtains (GF's term) are held in place with deer skulls. Oh, I almost forgot, my mantle has relief carved caribou on the frieze. All of this started with that "first" deer.

Congrats Bluey on your buck, if you had eaten as much venison as I have you wouldn't be so excited LOL. Now if you would of said your first mountain lion was in the freezer I would be very jealous LOL
