Thanks for sharing your family's experience. My wife took our five-year-old son on his first camping trip this summer around Mount Hood. A big step away from hunting, but one of the many cool things to do here in Oregon. That was amazing to read! Thanks for sharing your family’s experience.

Quite proud that I did, however. To cook deer meat - I'm not the expert at all, and I'm much more used to cooking elk meat...but, for the backstrap, I cooked it like a regular steak, except at a higher heat for a shorter amount of time. It's soooo lean that it can get tough pretty fast. The Hunter just took the deer to the meat processing place yesterday, and he's having it all made into hamburger and summer sausage. The hamburger is great in stews and sauces. Mrs. Darling, cool, good luck to your husband! I'll send some prayers your way during that week...I know, on your own with the kids!

My husband would be in ninth heaven if he ever shot something like that. He's going to Eastern Oregon the end of this month for a week of hunting so we'll see how it goes. Oh my goodness.

I don't think I can handle that if I was there. Your husband is a good hunter! I can see your children are so proud of him. BTW, how do you cook deer meat? What a kill!

I'm seeing the positives; he loves being in nature, so it's good for his state of mind, and it's a fun family time. And I'm very thankful for the meat in the freezer. Tammy, I wonder if your dad had a particularly bad hunting experience, or just if over time he decided he didn't want to hunt. He sounds like a sweet guy. I don't think I myself could hunt an animal, unless it was necessary to my survival. :-) Jane, Yep, I'm sure they'll remember this forever. I agree, I don't want my kids to have a disconnect with reality. And the reality is that your hamburger came from an animal that was killed. And that's okay by me. Dana, blood was present...your husband may have fainted! It's a good thing for the grocery store. :-) This sport certainly isn't for everyone, and I understand that....

He has an intense aversion to blood. I do NOT think we would survive long if we depended on his hunting and skinning skills. I’m trying to imagine my hubby doing that right now.

There is such a disconnect nowadays about where our food actually come from. Nice for the children to see the whole process. I am sure your children will remember the experience for a long time.

Wow! And how great that you have read several of Ron Mehl's books and that he even came to your church. My dad used to go hunting when I was very little...but then he stopped. He didn't think it was necessarily wrong or anything, but he said he suddenly got too soft of a heart. I'm the same way...but I know it doesn't make sense that I'll eat meat without any problem! ;) Thanks so much for stopping by…that is so incredible that your mom has an autographed book of Maria!
