Deer Lease Fun!

Bubba and Daddy spent the last three days hanging out at the deer lease. They did not come home with any deer YET but they said they had a great time...just like always.




1
This is an "eight point" that Cheney really wants to shoot but Daddy says he needs to "grow" another year at least. Daddy told Cheney he could shoot a Doe at the end of the season.

3
This is one of the dozen or so rabbits that come out at night and visit them and eat the corn that is SUPPOSED to be for the deer. This is the "before" picture of the rabbit. Wait for the "after" picture........

Here it is.....The rule at the lease: You have to eat what you kill. So, Cheney ate this for dinner. He said it was good--tastes like steak!??

4
Cheney said this is the doe that he is going to shoot before the end of the season. The one in the front.

After Cheney and Daddy finished hunting for the day they scouted around the pasture for tracks and signs of animals. This big armadillo came scooting by and Cheney just had to shoot it. This will be good eats for the coyotes and owls tonight Daddy says.

Wow Cheney! But I don't remember any rabbit I ate tasting like steak! Must be something different about Texas rabbits.

You didn't eat the armadillo? I thought you had to eat what you killed. Glad you and Daddy had a good time. I always thought rabbit tasted like chicken. Poor Thumper.

Cheney when are you eating armadillo??? Don't you have to follow the rules. I'm not sure if I'd be able to stomach eating the bunny after seeing it in person. I like buying my meat from the grocery store... unless you'll make us some deer sausage out of that doe you'll shoot!!

I think you can break the rules on the armadillo. Especially when you say you had to shoot it so many times to kill it. What a great Daddy/Son way to spend some of the holiday.

Grandpa said...

Why is everyone asking about the rules? Cheney has never had to follow the rules, so why start now? Cheney, why do you want to shoot the poor little doe? She is someone's mommy and has no defenses. Haven't you ever watched Bambi? Poor little doe. Maybe you better reconsider and just stay home with Pop so you two can play chess and let Bambi's mom live.
