Beginning on the first Saturday of November in Minnesota, and amazing cultural phenomenon occurs - the wearing of blaze orange. For those of you from other parts of the world, blaze orange is what I am wearing in this picture, and barring complete and utter darkness, you can see blaze orange clothing from a great distance and in almost any level of light. The purpose is to allow you a good chance of not being shot by another hunter who mistakenly thinks you are a deer that has climbed a tree!On November 3rd, I joined the ranks of the deer slayers - or if you prefer bambie killers. This 2 year old doe will provide my family will some tasty and healthy meat for the coming year. There is something satisfying in a primal sort of way about knowing that you have provided food for your family with nothing but a rifle and some blaze orange. Life and death, death and life. Thanks God for the provision the earth brings!
