It's That Time of Year


It's that time of year here in Arkansas. As soon as the first slightly cool whiff of air blows from the north a large portion of the population heads to the woods and the lakes to stalk all manner of beasts. Hey, it's good fun and a great way to bond with family members.
Although my children and I don't hunt, they do like to fish, and their daddy works to feed his duck hunting obsession.
These girls hunt and are second cousins. They hunt squirrel, deer and turkey with their daddies.
Here's the quntessential Deer Chili recipe if you can get hold of some deer meat! Enjoy!
