I just spent twenty or so minutes
with the ladies, nine sisters
and cousins that have found
in this acreage a haven.
I am blessed that they allow me
to observe their ways, and learn.
Much of their world focuses
on listening. The way they
use their ears to tune in
to threats is astonishing.
But something else is going on
with the way they place their ears.
I just watched three traverse this field
with ears folded back, tight—
and it had nothing to do with hearing.
So yeah, I think we have a great deal
yet to learn.
White Tail are good eating too and make tasty jerky.
Omnivore you are for sure.
You bet! I grew up around deer hunters and venison on the table, sometimes mixed with beef by my grandma. Mashed taters, carrots, a little gravy. Mmm!
A real Michigan feast!
Though I have not made venison jerky yet, I do love getting apple wood into my offset smoker and taking the time to make jerky…
That sounds delicious!
yes, this is really good —
Yes to learning. XoXo

We have so many here that get into our orchard, my sons are hunters and I have yet to try venison. I love watching the deer though.
Yes, I think we do.
