Not squicked. That's kinda cool, actually. I do have one question, though. I've heard around in my parts (California) it's illegal to kill a doe. So there's no problem shooting a buck or a doe in your area? Or do you need a special hunting license?
It is illegal to shoot does during certain seasons (like spring), when there's the possibility that they might be calving: either pregnant or taking care of a young helpless fawn. But in the autumn, which is hunting season (also, rutting season for the animals, so they have the best antlers and it's before they get skinny over wintertime), it's past that season, so they're fair game.
You have to get specific tags for specific species, though. Dad says that there are two types of tags for each species: antlers and antlerless. The latter can be used for young deer (which aren't always worth it) or does. But you better not be caught with a dead animal with the wrong tags, or no tags at all... Apparently there are huge fines.
Having once worked in a very big grocery store, I know just how much food - and meat, especially - is thrown out because it goes bad before someone actually buys it. It's a huge waste.
Man, venison is TASTY. It doesn't have a strong "gamey" aftertaste like moose, and is much more lean than beef or bison. I joke that I'm working my way through the animal kingdom. I want to eventually try hippo meat. :3
