Buck-n-Guns

Young ones taste better than an old rutty buck. I never found a recipe for antler soup.

My West Virginia grandmother told me first time I went deer hunting up in her holler, "Mark, dem mens a'gonna go lookin for big ole antlers. Now you take care o' yur grandma and getten me a nice yung, tender button buck and I'll cook you up some'en right special."

I did and she did. She was exactly what you think a WV grandma looked like. Here she is with me about the age of that first hunt up on her place.

Deer numbers on my farm are considerably low so I pass all young deer. I did take a young doe earlier in the year on a different farm with plans to take a couple more for the freezer but with my accident that won’t happen.

Can’t help but to love a grandmother like yours!
