So, I was at the Christmas party down at the VFW, which wasn’t until several weeks after Christmas, because we had to wait for Mark to get out of the hospital (he slipped a disc when he fell off his snowmobile. Don’t get old, folks.) Anyways, the topic of the Vegan hunters came up and people in the spirit of the season came up with some good ideas. Remember how we couldn’t figure out what Vegan hunters did with the animal meat so they didn’t just waste it?
Here's a few ideas that we came up with:
1.
Save money on pet food. Obvious, right? A good size buck could probably feed a Pit bull
for months.
2.
Donate it to a soup kitchen or food pantry. Talk about
a win-win! Starving people eat and you don’t waste meat. Just imagine the looks
on those hungry faces when they get to throw down on some fresh shot muskrat
soup! This is probably the most in being in the holiday spirit.
3. Use the meat to bait your traps. Again, so obvious. Of course, this is only going to work with smaller animals. Unless you’ve got thousands of traps, you’re not going to be able to utilize an entire elk or Kodiak. Now, it was pointed out by Dave (he’s got a brain on him) that you’d now need to find a use for the meat from the rabbits or minks or whatever you trap. Kind of an endless loop. No one said solving this problem would be easy.
Again,
thanks to the gang at the VFW for a really solid party and good suggestions.
Happy New Year, everyone!
