Lots of meat

Jeff got a deprivation tag for a cow elk this year. As some of you may know, he already killed an animal this year, a very freakish one! Because of how freakish it was, http://jeffandelise.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html we decided not to eat the meat, even though we were assured by experts it was completely fine. It's just a mental issue we have with it. Yuck! Anyway, we ended up giving all of the deer meat to some needy families in Fountain Green, UT. Good deed! Yay! : )
Saturday morning, Jeff headed out at about 4:20 am and was home by about 2:30pm with nothing. They spotted them, but they were too far away to take an ethical shot. So... Sunday morning, he left a little earlier at about 3:20am and was able to get a good shot.
So now, the cow elk, which was about 2 or 3, is at the butcher being prepared and packaged. I never knew how expensive this hunting thing really is. Wow.. couple hundred here, couple hundred there! Like it's nothing! Oh well, he loves it, and I love the all- natural meat!

Woo hoo, how exciting! I'm so glad he got one. You'll be able to make lots and lots of jerky with it :)

I know hunting is expensive! I think deer meat is yucky no matter how freakish the deer is. I do think elk meat is yummy though.
