The 'phone rang this morning with an offer from one of the local hunters - were we interested in taking a deer off his hands that he'd bagged over the weekend? Never being ones to turn down a free feed we were happy to oblige. The kei truck was dispatched and came back with dinner.
Our deep freeze has been home to various kinds of Minakami wildlife over the years with bear, boar and deer all putting in an appearance. Anyone who was at the Minakami Reggae Snowsplash last year probably remembers the delicious venison curry that was being served.
Dex had some issues to work out and channeled it into tenderizing the meat. It's good to see someone enjoying their work but slightly disturbing when they enjoy it this much.
The sight of a manically grinning Dex armed with a bloody hacksaw is truly terrifying. The finished product after the butchering will hang for a while and then find its way into the pot.
Poor Bambi.
nice work felllas - are you guys allowed to hunt them up there ? - someone told me it was near on impossible for a foreigner to hold a valid firearms license here ?
