Girl, what are you doing?
« on: January 26, 2007, 01:18:00 PM »
I wanted to thank everyone who has helped me out so much this week answering my endless stream of questions, helping me deciper whats what and encouraging me through my bouts of frustration. Seems like this learning curve is a mile wide.  I have learned more from just reading all of your posts than I ever could with any archery book.

I grew up in the concrete jungle of New York, didnt even realize that people actually hunt their own food until I married into a down home southern family 8 years ago.  I was buying bean sprouts and tofu and practically starving him to death before he finally asked me if he could do the shopping.."just once".  Well, he filled the freezer with meat wrapped in white paper and intoduced me to creamed corn and things changed a whole lot after that.  I have spend countless weekends in the woods, fire-keeping or cooking, learning to skin catfish and practicing turkey calls. I finally earned a promotion to a treestand.  There I sat for two seasons..weaponless.."learning to be absolutely still". This year I got my first bow. Its been a long time coming.

Anyway, thanks again guys for letting me in the club.  I WILL take my first whitetail with a recurve...maybe not this year, but soon.

Welcome Steph.  hope you like it.  It is an eye opening experience, being away from the concrete and blacktop.  Many, maybe most will never get there.  I think those that do are the lucky ones, that get to enjoy the real Mother Nature.

Hi Stephanie.  Welcome and I'm glad you like a more country lifestyle. Just to make things clear there isn’t anything wrong with bean sprouts or tofu, they just are not meat substitutes.  What was your 6 year old pointing???  :scared:    :biglaugh:

From bean sprouts and Tofu, to Black-eyed peas and Collard greens. That's a big change. Welcome to the gang!!

What is black-eyed beans and collard greens.
Sounds like the name of that singing group from England.

You sound alot like my wife. 10 years ago she didn't eat meat and was a veggie for about 8 years or so, until we met. I had just crawled out of the bush on a wilderness survival stint, and ate everything and anything. My grocery store was the highway. It took her awhile to eat roadkill, but after I made some jerkey from a little deer, she cracked! Now she will even swerve at critters if she hasn't eaten one in a while! She is also alot easier to live with now, tofu gives me gas!

tofu? is that the gooey stuff you get between your toes?  I can't imagine having to sit two seasons in a stand "learning" to be still with no weapon.  It has been many years since I crawled up my first tree and I'm still learning how to be still.  Welcome to the gang. Come on in, take your shoes off and clean out some of that tofu....
