Venison Express

Filled the Coleman Extreme cooler with six plastic grocery bags filled to the brim with frozen venison.

Everything from steaks, chops, kabobs and burger. The deer camp boys will stop over after work today to pick-up their fractional share of this year's harvest. You might say that this is our vestigial contribution to the socialist movement. Whether we take one deer or six deer - everyone at camp shares in the bounty equally.

Save for what I have left as my share in the chest freezer that is the last of four deer we harvested last fall.

Turkey season begins next week with a youth hunt followed by the regular season. I've applied and received a couple of tags.

Yes, I know, I say this at great risk of personal peril by invoking the wrath of the turkey gods-

I now have room in my freezers for a couple of turkeys.

Turkey camp has a capitalist tradition. We do not share turkeys. You either shoot your own bird or eat track soup.

  5. was something about socialism has some merits if everyone voluntarily participates. However, you will have 5 guys with rifles chasing you if you give away the collective venison stash to someone who didn't go elbow deep in deer guts.
