Deer Camp

It's that time of year again, Deer Camp at Uncle John's. We already have 8 deer, not bad for a group of 10! My Cousin Leslie shot her first and second deer ever. I bagged a small 3 point buck on Saturday morning at 8 am.

I brewed a LOT of beer for Deer Camp. We have Big Buck Pale Ale, Wheat Treat, and Teddy's alcopop. The alcopop is a big hit! It's a malt beverage without hops for the cousins that don't like beer. We mix it with powdered drink mix and sugar for a sweet flavored treat. The favorite flavor so far is the fruit punch, but we have grape, orange and cherry to try out too. The lemonade is just not so good.

Sitting on stand for hours at a time is a great place to practice yoga. Deer hunting is so much like yoga. You must be still. You must be aware of sensation (sight, sound, smell). With time and focus, you can become aware of feelings about who you are. The best part, I have 6 more days of this!
