New Snow

[El Kabong]

Deer that eat acorns must taste pretty good. The best are the deer that eat alfalfa. The deer, and antelope, that eat sagebrush taste bad and end up as sausage and jerky.

They eat all sorts of things down this way, but yeah typically they will fatten up on acorns going into winter.

Down here deer like: wild blackberries and raspberries/brambles, grapes muscadines and scuppernogs (good eating, make horrible candy sweet wines though), pokeweed, clover (oh they go NUTS for clover), greenbriar, honeysuckle, strawberry bush, and American beautyberry.


I've yet to have venison that is bad. I've yet to have it poorly cooked as well...guess I'm lucky.


I'd love to try antelope (and hunt antelope)
