Went out this evening, but nothing was moving and the rain was coming down harder than I first thought. Spent about an hour in the blind and it was getting so foggy I couldn't see the far end of the field (280 yards) so I decided to pack it in and see what the wife had fixed for supper.
Got home to find she had a venison roast in the oven along with baked potatoes, beets, corn, gravy...... I'm stuffed!
What nature provides sure is good! I feel like Thanksgiving has already been here, and it sure beats a store bought turkey.

I agree Wabi... I garden all summer and freeze and can lots of vegetables. Hunt and fish lots so my freezer is full. I just cotacted a friend who didn't get to hunt much this year and he has freezer room so now maybe I can arrow another nice doe.
For novelty, on occasion I buy a few paks of frozen vegetables in the store. I don't know what they do to remove the flavor but it just tastes bland compared to what we grow.

I'm with you there guys!
Got some venison in the freezer this year myself. Actually, I vacuum pack all my meat and the quality of last year's harvest is still excellent.
With all this rain this fall it's been a good time for mushrooms. Found some oyster mushrooms last week and they were delicious. I've still got carrots and parsnips in the garden for stews and such and will leave them there until freeze-up. Butternut squash is in the cold room and two cords of dry maple are stacked close to the house. Just like a chipmunk with a stump full of nuts, I'm all tucked in for the winter.
Good food is one of life's daily pleasures.
