Uploaded on August 25, 2009

Hey everyone. I'm working on a story for an upcoming issue, and I'd like to recruit your help. Please finish this sentence: "I love venison because..."

Thanks for your help!

if God didn't want us to eat venison He wouldn't make it into deer.

---of all pleasant effort that's required to get it and when I eat it I'm reminded of the day and circumstances that I acquired it. A chuck roast doesn't bring back the memories of the glow from the fireplace the night before the hunt or the whisper of the wind through the autumn leaves as I sat in my stand enjoying th crisp, fall day. Good friends helped me clean the deer and cut up the meat for the freezer and congratulated me on making a good shot. None of that happens with meat from the supermarket.

That's why I love venison.

Oh, yeah, it tastes, not just good, but different, and I never confuse it with something ordinary like groung round. Chili made with venison is a whole other ballgame.

It's the best free range meat.

Hmmm...Go to the store and buy beef that I don't know where it came from, who touched it, what it had eaten, how healthy it was, or what chemicals it had injected in it.

OR...

Go to the freezer and take out the venison from the whitetail I have been chasing for 3 seasons so I know where it lived and what it ate, never got close enough to inject it with chemicals, I know it was healthy because I have watched him for so long, I know that my friends and I are the only ones to have touched it. Not to mention it is much leaner than beef.

Oh, yeah, it tastes so much better!

...it's easier to remove the fat on deer,because of the way they store it,it's lower in cholesterol,and it is not treated with steroids and other chemicals to enhance the growth and flavor of the meat.

I love venison because it gives me a spirtitual purpose for "being" in the woods.It allows me to be still,a qualitatively different stillness,than just waiting. It requires me to be totally alert and awake,less I miss the Divine appointment with Mother Nature.

Alert stillness is needed,as the harvest comes to fruition,and to become aware of God's created beauty,the majesty,the sacredness of nature,as He saw fit to create with His hands.

I have laid on the ground and became awestruck,as I gazed into the infinity of space on a clear night,by the absolute stillness and inconceivable vastness of it.

In my search for venison,I have stumbled into the beauty,of something that words diminish,something ineffable ...some deep,inner,holy sanctuary,that requires my presence.

As I continue on,and go deeply into it,would I be able to find myself,and the holy essence of the deer sanctuary,if I were not in the pursuit of the stillness,that comes naturally,to the one in search of?

My proof of pursuit,is my desire ...

Find out for yourself!

C'mon Out Monster!

Its the best red meat you can find anywhere. At my house its our only red meat year around. The beef in the feed lot goes to market, not our deep freeze.
