Well well well

well well well. I suppose I have neglected posting for a while. I also suppose that it is hunting season. I might just suppose that these two incidences are related. Anyhow, last week I went over to neighbour Dave's to do some bullshitting and ask him who the landowners in the area are so I could gain permission for hunting. Dave asked me what I was using for a firearm. I let him know that I was rifle less and would be shooting a shotgun. He then offered me one of his 270 and told me to go out with one of his pals the next morning. He would have shipped me out himself but he just got out of a debilitating hernia surgery.... Ouch. So up before first light and into the stand I went and harvested a young buck. Hung before 10AM. Two days later I borrowed the rifle again and went out at dusk and harvested a second deer(we are in a two zone deer). Then Dave let me borrow his meat shop. Dave is the ultimate man's man and four days after a hernia operation I still could not keep him away from helping me. The kind of man that is pained by even the thought of sitting down when there is work to do.

Man it pays to be friends with the neighbour. I owe them dearly. One long long day(sun up to sun down)and my winter meat is all nicely cut and packaged.......... right in time for the return of my ulcerative colitis. After being in remission for probably four years this is extremely dissapointing. Now as much as I want to gorge myself with red meat I have a feeling that it is not the best thing to do at this point in my life. So friends alike... let me know what is your favorite cut of meat and I just might have to swing it your way. As much as this pains me... it is going to pain me either way.
