Oh Deer, Oh Road Kill

On the way to work today  a 8 mile  journey another Buck this one a spike got the vehicular kill. 4 weeks ago  same road one of the bigger bucks  I have seen in California rack wise got the vehicular kill. That one was in velvet still not fully grown out but huge. They started to grade  to  build a subdivision on his stomping grounds and drove him onto the road.  Last year I saw  this buck with his identical twin brother on the land that is being graded in September and I have to say the rack was impressive  at least a 38DD.

I think you would really enjoy the book Bone Game.  Seriously.

Kinda a road kill story. Saturday morning the local cat approached me excitedly and then took off to another porch and brought back a flapping dove. I took the dove from the cat and wrung it's neck as it was clearly suffering. I placed the bird on the ground...the cat gave it a few nudges, swipes, tosses into the air and then walked off disgusted that I ruined his play thing. Not wanting the cat to be cited for wanton waste...I bbq'd the bird with dinner.
If the cat continues to kill more birds I may bbq my first cat soon

That is the first cat that I have ever heard of that was useful. Safely extract DNA, so we can replicate the trait. Maybe swap out ass licking or hacking up hairballs, and I could maybe become a cat person if they brought home doves!

can you make sure the deer is dead by removing the backstraps and leaving the rest?

I'm sure someone on this forum has a recipe
