........ the next time anyone wants to razz you about eating meat.

The 75% return to protein rate for vegetarians due to health issues is a statistic I've not seen before. Interesting in any regard. Another good argument for deer, moose, elk, caribou, antelope, mountain sheep and goats and oh yeah, grass fed and finished beef, if you can't get out for the wild stuff.

Oh yeah, this is the Recipe sub-forum, so here's a nice traditional recipe:

Find large grassy meadow in a forested area, with a nice stream running nearby.

Sit at the edge of the grass, watching, listening, nodding off occasionally and contemplating life in all its wonder.

Do this as often as you can, just for the sheer enjoyment of such days.

In the autumn of the year, repeat with your favorite shootin' iron in hand. By now you know the optimum time to be in place.

When the first legal large game animal appears and moves into a spot within your comfort zone for ensuring a single killing shot, ready yourself.

(If you chose not to bother with the first, you may not be there just for the meat. Although you don't eat the antlers, it is fully understandable to wait a little while longer for your preferred quarry.)

When the time is right, adopt your most steady position with rifle or shotgun firmly placed in your shoulder. Place your sights, cross-hairs or bead where you know the end result will be swift and deadly.

Take the time to breathe comfortably.

When all is perfectly set up, exhale slowly and squeeze the trigger.

Take a moment to reflect and give thanks for the food you have been given.

You know the rest of the process.

Once you have your freezer filled with delicious and healthy protein, the recipe becomes as varied as the readers. To ensure the validity of the T-shirt image, you might want to always have mashed potatoes and gravy available.

Enjoy your favorites over and over and repeat the entire process at the next legal opportunity for you to do so; which, if you stick with your Parkers, will be soon enough in a duck blind or hiking the uplands.

Cheers,
Jack
