It's that time again.

Time to put the clubs up and head to the woods. Anyone else getting in the stand or getting on the water this fall?

BP, I use to be a big time hunter. I lived in NW Oklahoma for 11 years where the deer and wild turkey were huge and plentiful. It was nothing for me to go out and sit on a stand and watch as many as 40 deer move around within shooting distance. More often than not, I never pulled the trigger, just loved watching them and being there.

I even use to go up to Craig, CO and hunt Elk and mule deer (Elk is damn good eating).

But, ever since I moved to central Oklahoma, there is less areas to hunt and most of my buddies golf, so I have allowed golf to take over. I still get out and fish occasionally, but I rarely hunt anymore. I may go hunt some quail in NW Oklahoma in January, but that is looking to be it.

Hope you get a big one though . . . . .

I've never hunted, but just last night I saw a couple of bucks banging antlers right outside the SPCC parking lot. I watched for about 5 minutes. They were kicking the sh!t out of each other.

Shhh guys!!!

You can't discuss hunting on here. Our resident vegan NAH will be furious!!!

****off NAH is a vegan.........no way...

i always knew there was something with that guy...

No offense NAH.....ha ha

As an ethical animal rights vegan, of course I'm against hunting but is way down the list of things that really infuriate me. As a testosterone laden male I can even understand the attraction of hunting, but unless it's a cyber hunt where there are no innocent victims I'm against it. In my previous discussions with BP on this topic, I have found him to be a relatively responsible hunter if there such a thing, not the stereo type American (or Australian for that matter) gun nut that gets drunk and shoots anything that moves, including their hunting buddies if your name is Dick Cheney (just threw that in to get a response from Larry), so I will not engage in any slanging match with him or anyone else on this topic. I will just refrain from joining in.

But I will leave this gem. I know I've posted this quote before, but my favourite hunting quote is from Jesse Ventura, who so eloquently said: "You need to hunt something that can shoot back at you to really classify yourself as a hunter. You need to understand the feeling of what it's like to go into the field and know your opposition can take you out. Not just go out there and shoot Bambi".

I also like the t-shirts that read "Big guns little dicks".

Hey NAH, do you eat honey? I read an article the other day that said Vegans do not eat honey. I get the whole ethical thing of not killing animals for food or clothing, but don't bees make honey anyway? I mean, we give them some kick ass houses with slats and stuff, and they give us honey. Nobody gets hurt.

Is it that Vegans belief that getting honey from bees is cruel? Or perhaps it is not an ethical decision, but simply part of the Vegan creed not to eat animal products. If the latter, that seems a little nutty...

Well you don't have to kill a chicken to get an egg and no cows died making dairy products but vegans don't eat those either.

I am an outspoken member of my local "Defenders of Fruits, Grains, Nuts, and Vegetables" chapter. We strongly oppose the brutal killing of vegetable plants and the shameless exploitation of fruit and nut trees for the selfish gratification of human palates. The sight of a capitalist owned wheat harvesting machine literally mowing down acre after acre of wheat, or exploited workers harvesting fruits and nuts from the helpless trees is enough to sicken even the hardest of hearts........

Right now it is.

I am heading to NW Oklahoma for opening day of pheasant season. I guy I went to college with has access to some acreage and the hunting is phenomenal. I have two German short haired pointers and they go nuts because there are so many birds.

Must be close to the panhandle. That is where the best pheasant hunting is located. I use to love quail hunting in NW Oklahoma whenever my pointer bird dog was still alive. I trained her from a pup and she had an excellent nose. But, she got sick with cocsidiosis and never recovered. It's not the same hunting without her.

If you call yourself a vegan you are not supposed to eat honey, and I don't eat it. I don't profess to understand how bees feel about the whole thing, I merely choose to adopt the wholistic approach of not eating any animal products as then I don't put myself in a position of having to moralise or justify eating some things while abstaining from others. I think to begin eating some things that are animal based but not associated with any overt signs of cruelty is a slippery slope. It would be a bit like PM trying to justify getting a blowjob as not contravening his abstinence vow because technically the girl is still a virgin, or Catholic priests telling themselves it's ok because it's a boy, not a woman. Maybe we should ask him about this.

I was helping a farmer get some of his soy beans out a field before I left for the Navy and watched two very big bucks get after it. The UFC has nothing on what two deer will do to each other. They fought for a very long time but neither would quit. Another buck showed up and they backed into a three way stand off. It looked like the ending of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The smallest of the three called no joy and left while the other two started fighting again. When I throttled the combine back up it spooked them and they both ran off. I think that they would have fought to the death.

Filled my doe tag yesterday. 35 yard shot with the bow. She is going to be delicious.

Well done BP. That sounds great.

Do you have any preferred cooking method? Last year a friend of mine who hunts brought some fresh venison over and he BBQed it for us. Absolutely delicious!

Enjoy!!!

It depends on the deer and what I shoot it with and when. If I shoot a mature buck with a rifle I save the roasts and the back straps whole and have everything else ground into sausage. The rifle season in Missouri takes place during the rut and the bucks have a lot of adrenaline flowing through them and they can be a little strong tasting. If it is a doe I have the animal cut as I would a whole beef, especially if it is a bow kill due to less damage to the front shoulders. I like to cut the tenderloins into chunks about half an inch thick, bread them and fry them. The roasts, I put a rub on them and put them in a crock pot with about half an inch of water in the bottom with two stalks of cut celery. The celery helps take any of the "gamey" taste out of the meat. After eight hours, the roast will fall apart and taste great.

NAH, could you go through what you will typically eat on a daily basis:

Like, Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc.

Not picking, just generally curious.

Do you take supplements? Vitamins?
