Breakfast for Two

[amideutch]

As I was eating breakfast this morning I looked out the kitchen window and saw I wasn't the only one eating breakfast. Also the Sun God is smiling down on Albersbach today. Ami

A very nice view in the morning!!!. Your visitors seem some what perplexed as to how they can join you in your mater heaven.

Beautiful shot and soon the season will be drawing to a close I suspect as the fall chill drops in.

You have a very nice looking place, it looks very nice and peaceful, I would love to visit.

ContainerTed, would you eat a bambi ?

The area you live in is beautiful. A picture is definitely
Worth a thousand words.

In a word, "YES".

I will make no bones about the fact that I do like a little bit of "wild game" from time to time. However, my pappy taught me to never kill anything I couldn't or wouldn't eat.

Have you ever had venison chili??? Makes me hungry just to think about it.

Or, how about a big bowl of elk stew! Mmmm.

Ami, it's good to have deers on the other side of fence. They eat everything, even thorny roses. Years ago I had a garden at my father's house, deer ate everything except tomatoes .
C Ted, I've never tried a venison chili, but I could die for a venison stew !

Very nice scenery. Ami! Do the deers come to visit you frequently? clara

Ted, these particular deer are European Roe Deer (C. c. Capreolus). They get up to 70 cm at the shoulders and weigh up to 30 kg. You havn't lived till you have ate wild pig or what they call here "Wildschwein" (Sus scrofa).

clara, they make regular visits and the dogs don't bother them. They just graze on the grass and apples that have fallen from the trees.

I remember Roe Deer from England (East Anglia). I was participating in the investigation of an F-111 that was hit by lightning while in the approach pattern to the base and crashed into the forest near the village of Brandon. We had to make sure that all fragments of the plane were recovered and that meant walking the forest. We kept jumping those little deer all day long. A few months later, I was able to get some meat from one and made stew and chili. Good flavor and above average tender for wild game. And, yes, it was a legal kill. Wouldn't want to be accused of poaching the Queen's deer.

While stationed in Germany from 1969-72, I was fortunate to be able to obtain a Hunting Licensce and hunt while stationed there.

In order to hunt there, I had to attend a course on hunting traditions and customs. After passing a test, I was required to purchase liability insurance before being allowed to go hunting.

While there, I hunted the Roe deer, as well as the Red Deer and the European Boar, or wild pig. Was successful on the Roe deer, but thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Happy Matering,

Paul

I found this article last year and thought some of you might enjoy it regarding hunting in Germany. I think most hunters take conservation and the animal's life very serious. Like a tomato you grew yourself, there are few things better than meat you put on the table yourself. All better when you can share with friends.

Ami - I think you are living right.
