Last night I went ice fishing with my Pastor and one of his friends. The fish weren't real active but we did catch five. It's been a while since I have driven out on the ice. I think I'm starting to get the feel of it again.
On our way in it was still light out and we saw several dozen deer in the fields. We left when it became to dark to see the ends of our poles. A few miles down the road a couple deer ran out in front of us. My Pastor being the deer hunter he is, stared at the deer as they ran into the other side of the ditch. Not paying attention to the fact that where there is one there is ten, BAM! Pastor Will smucked a deer and there we sat. Amazingly there was no damage to his truck. A bit of poop smeared across the passenger side door was all. These two guys were in hillbilly heaven, out there poking and prodding at the poor dead deer.
We sat on the side of the road for quite a while before the deputy sheriff finally came by. The officer wrote out a deer tag for Pastor and the deer got loaded in the truck. I got my first lesson on how to skin, gut, and part out a deer in a matter of minutes. Pastor and his friend gave me most of the deer to take home along with the fish.
I'm now realizing that I'm attending the red neck church. It's not so bad unless your squeamish. Now I have road kill in my freezer. I'm officially a red neck. At least the two deer legs in my freezer don't have hooves still attached. :=)

This made me remember when I was up there a couple weeks ago and we were driving in the mall parking lot in Mason. We drove by this pick-up with a dead deer in the back. The deer's antlers and head were sticking up over the tailgate! Shelby was quite impressed with that sight!! (She just about freaked out when she saw it!) She'll be forever scarred:)
That is some story. Sounds like a real guy night! I would have to agree that you are probably an official red neck with road kill in your freezer. However, I bet it will still taste the same. I happen to like deer meat.
