Another C19 Casualty
September 8, 2020 at 11:43 am
I went up to the corner store to get my deer licenses - as doe tags go on sale as of 10 a.m. this morning.
It's almost noon - and no tags.
The DNR system is overwhelmed and the store owner can't get the system to run.
My best guess - everyone is trying to buy tags on the internet -because they are stuck at home - and the server can't handle the traffic.
Just another "that sucks".

I've always wanted to go hunting, but I've never been. I'm 46 now so I'll probably never do it. The only person I know that hunts is my uncle and he is old as shit!

My friend's mother raised rabbits for meat so they always had rabbit hot dogs and other rabbit products, like they would cut butcher them like you would a chicken and they would bake them up that way. It was a little weird playing with cut bunnies then eating their parents and knowing that the little ones will only be grown up to butcher. In fact, the first time I was told that they were preparing a rabbit (I was 6 or 7 at the time) I insisted on watching the chicken and rabbit being slain to make sure I was ok with eating meat. I watched the whole thing and that is when I knew that meat was just part of being human.

Cool story...I'm somewhat impressed at your youthful "we have to see, we have to know!" attitude. One thought I have these days is that, if veganism/vegetarianism did become the norm, all those food animals would never be born/live at all because there would be no demand for their "products." Has this occurred to the "ethical" vegetarian/vegan I wonder, particularly RE free range meat.
