DEER CAMP MENU
One thing I've never understood is why some hunters (my friends included) feel the sudden craving for sardines when they go hunting. They spend all that money on trying to disguise their scent from their prey, and then they pop open a can of smelly sardines at lunchtime in the woods. Yeah, I'm sure the deer think... "ah, its just some dead fish out there in the meadow, nothing to worry about, ain't no hunters nearby." And canned chili or baked beans always seem to make it into the camper for the week long ordeal. I always wondered about my husband's ability to bring home a deer or elk despite his gas and he explained that his farts are a natural odor and doesn't spook the animals. I have my own theory, they just can't smell cos his gas will run me out of the house in 2 seconds flat! As for his 'marking the trail', well, thats another hoot. I swear he can't go 30 minutes without peeing or taking a dump along the trail. He claims this helps to drive the animals right where he wants them to go. Now there could be some truth to that one because I will avoid the bathroom at all costs after he's been in there warming the porcelain for more than a minute.

Sorry but I don't really agree with hunting. I think it's really cruel! I agree with the fox hunting. The only reason for that is that if we didn't kill the fox's then they would run the counrtyside. They would kill other animals such as chickens, cows, deers etc. Sorry but that's what I believe in! Love Amy
Foxes kill deer? Cow? Maybe foxes on steroids....foxes are about the size of long legged house cats...I don't hunt myself, in fact I rarely eat meat, but unless you have visited a slaughter house, or a chicken farm, don't lecture hunters about being cruel. It's a lot better death than domestic animals face.
