PhilosipherStoned Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I don't have that option unfortunately. 1.5lb of Jerky for 12.99 is a steal, but that fills my head full of doubt I'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) I've literally almost bought a bow that's the same brand Darrel uses in the walking dead without knowing lol.. It costs as much as a friggin beater car or something though so it's hard to make that final click for me. I had a crossbow back when I lived in the real Texas boonies. Served me well.

Just wait for a flock to fly over, and point up and blast the shot gun. I've fired so rapidly before, I had to wait on the barrel to cool down. It would turn red. Yep.

Disney's Bambi probably had me fucked up. My grandfather was big into the outdoors. He used to hunt everyday during the season. He kinda made me start going at a young age. Of course, with my family, it is tradition to ''blood you'' on your first kill. Meaning, when I shot my first deer, my grandfather reached into the wound and pulled out a pile of blood and smeared it on my face. That was a bit traumatizing. But we have our own deer processor here at the shop. We can skin them and process them right here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The variety is very hard to come by down here. I have never seen venison in a store. I have to go to an upscale market to find lamb when we cook it. I order jowl meat from the butcher. I don't really buy meats from regular grocery stores. I usually go to a butcher or abattoir. We recently found milk from a dairy farm, and bought their butter and beef products. But we can make butter just as good as theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
