It's been a hoot. He lost his wife to cancer 2 years ago. He's now living in Oregon and came up to visit Rob and I last summer. We had a nice dinner party and I'm trying to hook him up with my single friend Micki. So, is it time for an aromatherapy-old-farts t-shirt? Ya think.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Dear Butch, Hi there! Thank you for your hunting treatise. It was great! My husband got to my emails before I did and told me to read what you had written about hunting. I think that he " visits " my emails at this time of the year just to see when you will write something about your hunting. He and I both agreed that you are correct about hunting. This past November my husband got one deer and his hunting partner got another. They were lucky because you are so right about the deer and the turkeys smelling the hunters and vamoosing. The one think nice that happened was that we got some wonderful pictures of the wild deer, turkeys, hogs, rackcoons (sliding down the deer feeders), and hogs. We butcher and package our deer ourselves. Like you, we will be out of venison before next season starts. Venison is great and one of the healthiest meats that you can eat. I think that in our 30 plus years of marriage I have learned to cook venison more than 50 ways and I am still getting new recipes. This year will be start our garden as soon as the weather permits in North Texas. Today we had nearly 70 degrees while this coming week we are going back to winter weather. It is good that you are teaching Alex the rules of hunting early. It will stay with him always. Rupert taught our son and now it is coming into good stead with him in the Marines. Enjoy your friends' 50th wedding aniversary and especially them giving your beautiful wife the once over. lol. I'm also glad that you are still doing the rose eo. Keep up the hunting. Remember if you ever get this far South to Texas, drop us an email and ya'll come by to stay for a few days. We will treat you to Venison filet mignon Texas style.
