I do love it @nelliebly.

To understand in my simple peabrain: my poor handicapped Yorkie who weighed all of 3lbs was descended from a Wolf.

I hope she got re-reincarnated back to her Wolf brethren.

I’d like to think of her running wild on some plain hunting her supper.

He’s not a mutt. He just isn’t a pre-Columbian dog.

And I’ve known Carolina Curs who were entirely trainable. That particular one might not be; but it’s not an overall problem with the breed.

OHGAWD. Spagettios. I love those damned things.

When does Deer Camp start?

It’s happening as we speak. Mr.W opened the camp Nov. 1st.  
I hear shooting all around me daily.  
Traffic on the county road is almost bizarre. I tell the girls to watch for four-wheelers and speeding trucks. These townies think they can drive as fast as they do on regular streets.

I hate deer season. But the deer must be culled. There are so many of them.  
Arkansas has a big problem with the ‘wasting’ disease in the deer population.  
The hunters can take 6 deer. Which is alot, IMO. I think they’re trying to limit the occurrence of the sickness.

Cross your fingers I get thru the season unscathed.

He’s not a dumb dog he’s just stubborn and hard headed.

I taught Bayliss to hold a dog biscuit on his nose til I gave the word and he flips it up and catches it in his mouth and gobbles it up. It wasn’t easy to teach.  
Dillon was watching him do it. Bayliss repeated the trick many times, the grandwrex like to see it.  
One of the kids said to make Dillon do it. I told them he didn’t know how. But I tried it. On the second try he did it perfectly.  
Then he grabbed the baggie full of biscuits and took off at top speed.  
He always makes me laugh.

Oh yeah that’s a smart dog all right!

Also a smartass dog. Sometimes they go together.

**Beck** - I was reading a book of letters and journals of the 18th century settlement of the Cumberland area of Tennessee and Kentucky. It touched on the Spanish in Florida. There was a letter telling how the indigenous peoples gave what they called “the Christians” 300 dogs, because the Christians ate dog and the native tribes didn’t.

Is there any worry about Arkansas deer having Covid-19?

Yes – first detected among deer in the state in 2016, though researchers think it had been there for some time prior to that. A page on the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission website on it:

Now, that’s a scary thought. And @kenobi_65 are you sure it the same Covid as humans have? Because the link leads me to Chronic Wasting Disease, a different illness.

No problem as I did discover that many deer in many places are testing positive for Covid-19. But yikes.

The deer hunters are all talking about CWD and if there’s a link to Covid.  
My understanding, in certain hunting regions they are doing extensive testing…

Mr.Wrek doesn’t seem to think it’s bad enough if the meat is handled properly.

I ain’t gonna eat it. And I’ll take precautions if he brings home fresh(unfrozen) venison for me to cook

The deer and wild pig I ate was cooked to death. I understand that is done for a fear of parasites, so I would guess cooking thoroughly would kill covid, but dressing out the game would be another matter.

So, Carni\*, you ate cooked/dead bugs instead of live bugs.  
Kinda still grosses me out.  
Nope, nope, nope.

See if you cannot read the blur.

I’m officially grossed out enough to last me a week or two.  
Who on earth eats deer heads?  
Certainly isn’t gonna happen in my house.  
And …  
If they just gotta pull the heart and liver out to eat(raw) I don’t want to see it, hear about it or even have knowledge of said disgusting occurrence.  
Just do that nasty thing out in the woods.  
Nope, nope nope
