Black Tail Deer Hunt

Opening day of the deer hunt Saije's boyfriend got a nice 4 point, weighing in at about as much as copper with just as much meat. So Lars, Trace and I borrowed a skiff and hunted all the small Islands. It was so awesome! I have never seen so much sea life ever. And the waterfowl was outrageous! I don't think that a deer will feed our family more than one or two meals, so we are focusing on the birds!!! You can actually shoot up to 3 swans a year, if Lars is correct. There is more meat on one of those than a deer. You can actually shoot a crane and they say that those are fabulous! I will have to make sure Lars cleans it and everything before I see it, or I won't be able to eat it. Oh Lars just informed me that they no longer have Tundra Swan season here in Yakutat, only on the Bristol Bay side. So we won't be eating any Swan. I am very, very glad because I think that they are so beautiful and I am glad they are protected! Anyway there have been 4 deer taken so far and we will still be on the prowl. Lars is a die hard. I just want someone to give us one! hehe! Thanksgiving is approaching and hopefully it will be a goose and not a crane for dinner! Ta Ta, Cherie
