WARNING: Wordful Wednesday's Post is a little graphic today, for those of you who don't get to experience living with a hunter like I do, you might not want to read this post.
So what is Sean doing in this photo you ask?? Sharpening his knife. Why?
Because he killed a Unicorn. Or at least that's what he told me when he called me from the deer stand. I believe his exact words were, "I've killed the most elusive animal in the world, Jenna a unicorn!" He needed his knife sharp to skin it and cut out the meat so we can eat him! We LOVE deer meet and deer sausage and deer chili and deer jerky and deer burgers and deer... well I guess that's about it
He's seen this deer every year for three years and for the last three years it's only grown one horn. He wanted to kill it to get it out of the breeding gene pool. (It was my Idea to put his hand up in place of the horn..I thought it was funny last night...now..not so much)
Banjo had to get in close for a sniff, I think he was dreaming of all the table scraps he would get from this guy later on.
Birdie, was quite curious, Banjo was around last deer season and knew what he was dealing with, Birdie was very intrigued. Banjo tried to explain to her that he was dead and we were going to eat him later, but Birdie kept barking like a maniac.
Oh and Sean also killed this demon. The Coyote. They get after the calves during calving season and so Sean is happy to kill them at any time.
This was a big coyote. He was bigger than Birdie and Banjo. Banjo was scared of him and Birdie constantly growled at it. I'd never heard her growl before and for a little girl she has a very intimidating growl. (I edited the photo because I didn't think you wanted to look at his innards)
And now just because I exposed you to that gruesome post of photos, I thought I'd leave you with this cute picture I found on Google, to erase the dead animals from your brain...
You're welcome.
