Cleaned out the freezer of venison to make room for three more bucks :)
Venision stew, oatmeal muffins to grab for the morning hunt, fried chicken, and there is a mac salad somewhere buried under camp stuff in the fridge in the garage. I'm whooped

Dang it all looks good. I don't believe I have ever eaten oatmeal muffins. My bride makes some really good blueberry muffins, but oatmeal sounds good. I love oatmeal cookies. And I didn't know that anyone fried chicken at home. I thought all fried chicken came from a "fast food" business. Like I said, it sure looks good.
Our deer season opens in the second week of November. Oh, I forgot, bow season is the month of October.

Seeing 'Camp meat' in your thread title brought back a fall morning in Montana in about 1973. Six of us were camped in the Little Belt mountains southwest of Great Falls. We needed camp meat. On the first morning and shooting a 7mm mag (with 63.4 gr of 4831 behind a 160 gr boat tail spitzer), I went to one knee and shot a doe. I was kneeling in thick grass about 24 inches tall. The shot was off and after a count of a couple seconds, the grass in front of the muzzle for 20-25 yards bent down and away from the muzzle and then stood up again in reverence for an awesome modern firearm. Doesn't sound like much, but was a peak day for me and the shot brought meat to eat in camp for the bunch of us. Our preacher was with us and was not schooled in eating game. We cut off a piece of tough flank steak, cooked it and presented it to him. As he smiled and fought to get each bite cut, chewed and swallowed, we smiled too. ;)
Thanks for tickling my memory jen :)

Nice story Lou :) I have soo many of those stories in my pocket. I like to get away from cooking while in camp so I can hunt as much as possible, so I prepare a lot of food ahead of time. It's so nice when the first buck comes in, raises the moral of the hunters, especially during times when we have been hunting hard for a week and see nothing. Cooking the deer heart is a ritual and we all partake and enjoy the animal and hoist our liquid spirits in honor of... ;)

Our rule was the next guy to complain about the food in camp became the camp cook. Is that a universal rule?
-
Ha! I cook homemade food because most of our hunters go to the $1 Store and buy crappy food. I just can't do that, don't have the gut for that food anymore. No one complains! ;)

OMG! Jen! That looks awesome!

Hey Beeboy, I agree the food looks awesome. At the risk of raising a woman's ire, is that your mom in your avatar.

No. Wife & daughter.

Okay lazy, as to not raise anyone's ire, this would be the more genteel way to inquire..
"Hey beeboy? how are those two lovely ladies connected to you in your avatar?
Or,.... "Hey Beeboy? Such lovely women in your avatar?"
And beeboy would come back with "Why thank you lazy, they are my wife and daughter, I love them so much!"
You see, beeboy and I exchanged honey with lotion, and I asked the same question. His response was so heartwarming. I was captured by how lovely the women are with the sun coming across their face and such genuine smiles.
There is your etiquette lesson for the day... :D whether you asked for it or not... :D

Fifty years in the oil patch has not done much for my etiquette, but in my favor, I don't see but one woman in the avatar. Had I seen two women of differing ages, it would have provided me a clue. Oh well, I'm sorry to bother those of you of more gentile manners.
-
You didn't bother me lazy. I thought it was funny!
-
Uh Oh Lazy! I was talking in a humorous way... never once intended to offend in any way. I do hope you read in my etiquette post that I had asked Beeboy the same question. I thought it would make beeboy smile.
My sincere apologies Lazy :-[
-
Well Lazy! I just love your pure white hair, pure white hair is down right spiritual... to me anyway :)
Where did you see a pic of beeboy? All's I see is is his wife and daughter? :)
-
Jen:
You have fully exposed me for the doofus that I am. I can see now that the picture is a mom and daughter. I have a 25 year old male friend that looks as young as the daughter. He works for the Texas Highway Patrol as an under cover drug agent. He poses as a high school student, and has been successful at this for three or four years. I thought the daughter was bee boy. I feel so dumb. I should never post again, and maybe disappear to the ranch.

I think, Lazy, you and I both may have to quit posting. I didn't realize it was a girl.
-
You guys are crazy! She has a beenie like thing on her head. She has very long hair that has never been cut even though she's 17 years old. She is so much fun to be around, & has the quickest whit I've ever seen! I love her so much! Her mother...well, she is a jewel! I didn't really realize that a feller could love this much, but it happens. When I get to be a grandpa...I won't be worth shooting! (not that I am now, but you get the point)
I also have a son who is going to school to be an engineer. He is 19, talented & sharp as a tack! We often sit & have some really deep political, & theological discussions. He is also going to bible school, so he learns the old man a thing or two as well.
The pic is taken right a year ago while we were on Talimena drive in southern Oklahoma. It's just curvy roads, & pretty tall mountains, (for Oklahoma) & is absolutely beautiful when the colors on trees start changing in the fall. We will be taking that trip again here in a week or two. Google Talimena drive & you'll see it is one the top fall drives in the nation.
I'm not real sure why I felt compelled to give a run down on my family, but there it is.
-
We have a daughter and son as well Bee. They're such good people and we can talk about virtually anything. Daughter is 37 and son is 32. Daughter has also added two grandchildren to our family.
Because yours and my kids are close in generations, we are accustomed to todays fashions and beanies. I can see where there might be a bit of confusion. But again, I what struck me in the picture is wife and daughters lovely comfortable smiles.

Also, his handle is beeBOY, not beeman, so I thought the beekeeper might be a boy. We had a 17 year old girl address our bee club about organic beekeeping. She was talented, well spoken and educated, so why couldn't the picture be of beeBOY and his mom. There is a bee club in East Texas, near Longview, that supports young beekeepers, and they reach out to high school students. They have several teenage beekeepers.
Beeboy and I are on the same page about family. I have two sons aged 34 and 54 years. Yes, they are over 20 years apart and have the same mom. My wife and I have been married 55 years. I am an engineer and my oldest son in an engineer, my youngest son is an entomologist. My boys and I talk about everything, we have no secrets. My wife and I have done well financially, but that is not my real accomplishment. My gift from God is that I have two sons that will look you in the eye, shake your hand, and you can take their word to the bank. Every thing else in my life pales in comparison.
I do wish all of you a nice day,
Lazy

BeeTeens :D Perfect!

...... and maybe disappear to the ranch.

That ranch is a marvelous hideout Lazy. I'll never forget driving through the gate, stopping, and hearing, "We own as far as the eye can see"...... ;) You are a rich man in many ways Lazy. :)
