I don't think I'd fark with anyone who successfully raised 13 children and then lived to be 81. Especially if they had a crossbow.

Indeed. This wouldn't be nearly as impressive if she only had 12 kids.

13 kids? The amount of pain this woman has tolerated from her vagina alone makes any of us Farkers look like crying little wusses.

What's amazing about it is that she was shooting targets at an indoor range at the time.

Was the deer about to gore some babies? What did she do that was heroic?

Pretty cool. The only memories I have of my grandmother are of her chain smoking non-filtered camels and playing cards in her bathrobe while steadily drinking gin and tonics all day.

Don't kid yourself. Deer would eat you and everyone you love if you gave them the chance.

We could be cousins. Did your grandma live in a mobile home and leave her Christmas tree up year round?

After the 7th or 8th wouldn't they just slide right out?

Buck Capulet?

 
halfof33 2009-11-23 03:49:09 PM  
Damn, that is a scrawny little thing.

We saw a massive buck this weekend, at least 160 points.

In the Cook County Forest Preserve. I assume it will shortly be decorating someone's totally demolished front end.

After the 7th or 8th they must pop out of your skull, which explains why she's blind in one eye.

FTA: And what a sight that deer was. Jaine was in awe.

"You wouldn't believe how many points he had - wonderful, beautiful," she said.

The animal stopped and put his nose in the air as Jaine closed one eye and released her arrow. It pierced the deer right through the heart.


As someone who is not a hunter, I will never understand this mentality. "That is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I can't wait to kill it."

I've never understood hunting of large targets at all. Surely it's a bigger achievement to shoot a fly with a pellet gun.

I'm not worried. She was trying to hit the moose across the creek.

Haha I have to send this to my buddy, he's been bow and rifle hunting for the past 4 years without getting one. I'm beginning to think he just goes to get away from the wife.

Deer are good looking animals for sure, but I live in an agricultural area. I hunt my deer in my Brother in law's farm.

Last year a buck moved into the barn. Did about $10,000 over the summer rubbing his antlers on tractors and other things. Tried chasing him away with paintballs, did no good. Yeah, we took him out first day of bow season though.

They raised watermelons this year. I shot a doe that had been eating melons all summer. Let me tell you, that is some of the best meat I have ever had in my life.

Psst. You shush your mouth. Thats what all us hunters are doing. From Sept- Jan we get free tickets out of the house. Dont you dare get my weeks of getting boozed up and not having to shower taken away from me.

I think this doesn't so much prove that she is awesome, but how lame hunting really is.

BobNesta420: As someone who is not a hunter, I will never understand this mentality. "That is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I can't wait to kill it."

I am also not a hunter, but as I understand it, the mentality has something to do with the fact that meat comes in fast and furry packages, and must therefore be killed before it can be eaten.

Hunters have that cartoon style 'hallucinate something is a hamburger' thing going on when they see deer.

Jubeebee: meat comes in fast and furry packages

Yoink! I will be stealing that for future use.

Allow me to re-post some funny from an earlier thread:

911 Operator: Are you sure she's dead?
Hunter: BLAM! .... BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM!
Hunter: Yeah. Now what?


/is a hunter
//sometimes
///mmm, free-range pork...

That, to me, makes at least a little sense. In that case, it's a matter of rationalizing the fact that, yes, it's a beautiful creature, but it's also food.

I realize that maybe that was part of the lady's thought process, but the quote just comes across as so odd. It just sounds like she was just absolutely astounded by how beautiful the deer was so, of course, she had to kill it.

A simple statement in the other direction:

It is cheap food. A successful deer hunter gets about 100 pounds of meat for the price of a permit (not sure what they go for in all areas but when i lived in rural MI a few years ago they were $30-50ish).

/if you have never tried them - venison backstraps ftw!

 
Balchinian 2009-11-23 10:21:17 PM  
waggz:
$45 will get you 3 permits in MI. One for a big buck, one for a little buck, and one for a doe. That's roughly 300 lbs. of low-fat, low-cholesterol, high protein, non-supplementally injected, all-natural delicious juicy red meat for less than $50. That is what we hunters mean when we say that a deer is a beautiful animal.

The hero tag is an obvious call, and I am willing to accept any arguments to the contrary by any 81 y.o. half-blind ladies with 13 kids, the day after you bag an 8pt. with a crossbow. If that ain't you, get stuffed.

Isn't that a 4 point?

Still cool that she took it with a crossbow.

People in the east have a funny way of counting points....

Crossbows are very effective. My dad killed an extremely deadly bird with one.

A day late to this thread, but most women with that many kids just send the kids out to hunt instead, and bring the proceeds home to mom. Having that many kids and then still doing the work to get venison is inefficient.

/my grandma had 11 kids
//there's venison in her freezer every winter

 
Balchinian 2009-11-24 01:16:51 PM  
internut:
It is a whitetail. Whitetails are counted by total rack points because asymmetry between sides is not uncommon. Mulies are counted primarily by points on one side because asymmetry between sides is much rarer. (The exceptions, as you know, are counted as 5x4 or 3x4, etc.). Since you have mule deer out there and we have whitetails out here, that is why we tend to count deer points differently.

mesmer:
Hunting is fun, in addition to being work. I hope that if I make it to 81 they still let me hunt.

Anyone still here:
My grandpa was the youngest of 13, and I still have a head mount that he arrowed in 1929.

 
Big 900 2009-11-24 02:44:20 PM  
Reminds me of my grandfather. He is 95 years old. Gramps and I just got back from deer hunting yesterday. He sits in a heated blind, and hasn't bagged a deer the last two years, but he got one every year before that. He has been deer hunting every year since 1947. The year of his 90th birthday he shot a buck that was at full run across valley about 200 yds away.

 
AlgaeRancher 2009-11-24 07:46:00 PM  
Deer can be very good eating

they are plentiful, so as long as you eat it, everythings fine.
