Today I took Mignon out to hunt for the first time. She told me Saturday that she wanted to shoot a deer. So today at 3:00 I picked her up from daycare and we went to our local feed store and bought her a gun, binoculars, and some ear protection just in case daddy shot.We were hunting for Axis or Sika deer, not Whitetail. Axis meat is 99.8% fat free, making it the leanest meat of any mammal. The taste of the meat is very close to good beef. Among aficionados of venison, sika flesh is regarded as one of the very finest and most flavourful of all game meats at the dinner table.
Unfortunately whitetail was all that came to the feeder.
Mignon did really well. She sat in the deer blind with me for two and a half hours without a complaint.
We had a really good afternoon and spent some real quality time together sans television. She wants to go again.
I really hope that she becomes an outdoor enthusiast and enjoys fishing and hunting.
We topped the afternoon off with a Dairy Queen hamburger. It was an exceptionally good afternoon.
