Ryan got a deer Saturday morning at about 8:30. Not bad for opening day. I have no idea what I am going to do with all the meat. I don't even think I like deer meat, but Ryan is having it all butchered up as we speak. Jerky I can handle--I don't know about the rest.
On our way home from Sunday dinner in Tooele last night, we saw more than one deer head propped up out of the back of more than one truck and Ryan came face to face with a startling realization. Deer hunting is such a redneck thing to do. Jeff and I both concurred as Ryan sat there, coming to terms with who he really is. We both think it's rediculous how grown men prop there deer heads up out of the back of the truck so that everyone they pass can view their freshly killled trophies. It's kind of like something else I've been trying to figure out-- Why do people in small towns like Rexburg, Idaho drive around with their dirt bikes, four wheelers, snowmachines, and wave runners in the back of their trucks? I understand if they are actually going out to play, but they aren't. It can be the middle of July and you will undoubtedly see a truck parked in the WalMart parking lot with a snowmachine in the back? I don't get it. Maybe I should make all these egos a sign to wear that says, "I just shot a big deer" or "I am in debt up to my ears but I have big toys...and a truck". Of all people, I should understand the nature of the redneck ways...but this one is still a mystery to me.

One of the better photos I've seen of Mark & Ryan.
You can bet that the Virtue sisters are going to be a bit more cautious when invited to the next Loveless BBQ. . .oh, DEER.
I must sat, being a lonely hunters fall widow, that although men do love showing off their trophies and trucks,don't we as women do the same thing with our homes decorated in things that are of no real use, children dressed in darling outfits they could care less to wear, and countless other things we aquire so that others will look and take notice.
In the last comment I spelled say-sat. I just had to add this correction.
Jolea--what are you saying? Do you know what you've done to me if Ryan reads this? And thank you for correcting your grammar mistake so that I didn't have to. Some people really don't appreciate having their grammar corrected.
