Hunting Season is Upon Me (Oh, no!)

Don’t get between a man (or a boy for that matter) and hunting season.  It’s like getting between me and my favorite dessert.  (which in case you wanted to know is ice cream)  You just don’t mess with me. 

Boys like their challenges and since this one provides them with lots of fresh air, exercise, the study of nature, stalking skills, marksmanship, butchering skills and lots of fresh organic meat, how can I complain? 

Seth (16), shot his first antelope last week.  A very nice one I am told. 

If you ever get the opportunity to have some antelope meat, you must!  It’s the most tender, mildest game you’ll ever have.  Yummy!

Seth had a second seizure on Sunday two days after shooting this antelope.  It’s been four-and-a-half months since the last one which I wrote about here

We have been told that in the old days they linked wisdom teeth and seizures together.  Seth is getting a wisdom tooth and so I’m wondering if this might be the problem.  He’s had both and MRI and EEG after the first one and they both came back clean.  Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?

    I have no experience in this matter but wanted to let you know that I am praying for your son. Also that I have never tried antelope although I would be willing to try it:) I do love deer meat though. My ds is about to turn 11 and wants a bb gun and I am still struggling on if I want to get him one or not. I know, I'm such a chicken:( WHat age did yours first get interested in hunting?

    Be blessed.

    The only experience I have with Seizures is Fever ones with my granddaughter and my little sister that had childhood ones for years and out grew them. Since they found no reaso for them last time, maybe taking out his wisdom teeth would be a good preventitive measure to see if it works.

    He is in my prayers.

    Do you make sausage with your antelope?

    Because of Jesus, Bobbie

I love hearing from you! Thank you for taking the time to comment.
