Oh Deer!

Our collection on 'wall hangings' continues to grow.  Jessie got her buck back from the taxidermist and it turned out beautiful!

   We gave her the option of a full shoulder mount or the European for this beautiful buck and European it was mounted on a piece of drift wood.

   Jessie drew another deer tag this year for youth and thinks she is going to try and get a bigger buck; I think she can do it as far as antler size goes but his body will be hard to beat!!
   " the Lord gives, and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord."  Job 1:21
  This past year of hunting was a huge reminder for me that God is who makes our efforts a success; it is Him that actually provides the deer for the harvest.  We can train ourselves physically, practice our shooting, learn the patterns of the deer etc... but honestly in the end, He is what makes the hunt a success.  Some years the freezer doesn't get full and we can speculate so many reasons as to why that is; might be a time to be humbled and know that all good things come from God and remember to always be thankful no matter what-look for all the things that you have to be thankful for instead of getting 'narrow minded' on one 'blessing'-might be why tag soup ended up on the menu.
