Oh Deer... *graphic*... not really...

That tenderloin looks amazing.

And boy do I love some deer jerky...

Your local gun shop might be able to give you some leads on local groups of hunters. The vast majority are eager to share the joy of their sport with newbies.

Just taking the hunter education training might be enough to put you in touch with some people who'd like to have a new hunter to mentor.

And if you should happen to be female, there are the Becoming An Outdoorswoman classes and similar things offered by other organizations.

Thanks so much for explaining that, it makes sense now. I thought it was just more KY weirdness.

I will give them an ask the next time my brother and I go shooting.

And yes, I am female...not too comfortable with the idea of going out with just men into the woods alone! I'll see about classes in my area, thank you so much!

My dad has been a deer hunter all of my life but I've never developed a taste for venison. He finally stopped offering it to me...

I wonder if you cooked up that venison, and chopped it up real good, if your chickens would like it.

Better than letting it go to waste!

You're welcome.

I don't hunt myself -- more through lack of sufficient desire to do so than from any actual obstacles I couldn't overcome -- but I know of quite a few female hunters.

I am a shooter and I know lots of women who are as good as or better than the guys at putting bullets into the spots they want them in.
