She's a girl who's found her strength, not from killing but from providing for her family. Very cool.<br /><br />Her name wouldn't happen to be "Diana" would it, for the Goddess of the Hunt? :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525081387598258981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685551411011127315.post-54798956264806775242014-05-16T07:55:37.829-04:002014-05-16T07:55:37.829-04:00Wow!

While I don't eat meat myself I have no problem with hunters as long as they are eating their kill which is clearly what your family it doing. You don't have to worry about the scary things that our government allows to be done with meats before they make it to market! This post is beautiful and I bet your daughter loves it. :)Miss Val's Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200441034267532187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685551411011127315.post-77142529764228456702014-05-15T09:30:28.091-04:002014-05-15T09:30:28.091-04:00Hunting is not for me, even though I'm not squ...Hunting is not for me, even though I'm not squeamish in the least. However, I have great respect for the hunters I do know. What an amazing story your Bug! She follows her path, and is true to herself. How many of us can say that? Yes, we have a lot to teach our kids, but it's just as important that we learn from them. The world definitely needs more strong, self confident women. This is an inspiring post of a beautiful young woman and her wonderful family.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390853515006667116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685551411011127315.post-16906072788120698732014-05-14T22:14:57.226-04:002014-05-14T22:14:57.226-04:00Can we get together?

It is so very hard for young people to stand up to the world and be different from the crowd.

I think so few of us really think about the full journey our food in front of us takes. But it is something to truly live off the land and to know just where it came from. And quite a skill to be able to hunt for yourself, and to harvest every part of the animal that gave its life. <br /><br />This is a bold post, for you my friend. One you've clearly thought through. But we all see how proud you are of her, and that is a beautiful thing. <br /><br />What amazing daughters both your girls are, but not surprising knowing who their mom is. I don't know the bird man, but thinking he's a pretty big part of this too.AntiquityTravelershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448273777508831649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685551411011127315.post-76673356962121552872014-05-13T11:12:59.037-04:002014-05-13T11:12:59.037-04:00What a wonderful post! You've done just what ...What a wonderful post! You've done just what a parent is supposed to do. Raise a child to be herself and to love what she does and be good at it. My husband grew up hunting and my father hunted. It really is more than sport because it does help the environment. Deer are being killed all the time because they are hit by cars. We see carcases by the side of the road all the time here. I'm sure that's more painful to the animal than a good shot like your daughter. But the environmentalists raise a fuss even if the local governments organize sharp shooters to do the hunt. I think it's amazing that Bug also enjoys dressing what's she caught! She's a sounds like a fabulous girl and it sounds like you're a fabulous mom!

It was also my last! Spent the rest of that season learning the art of baking bread from his mom. Turns out I far preferred grinding my own wheat to processing my own deer!

Thank you for sharing your daughter&...Hi Christine,<br />Thank you for sharing your daughter's wonderful talent. Bravo to the Bug, for tapping both sides of her personality, that you and the Bird Man gave to her. Your pride is over flowing in this post. My Mom was born and raised on a farm in Nebraska, so I learned at a young age the value in growing your own food to eat and that included animals, such as pigs, cows, and chickens. It was not until I was a teen in Alabama that I learned about hunting food.<br />Her skills are a good thing to have, because you never know about the future.<br />ThereseTherese's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048140538791568162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685551411011127315.post-29932240443311650872014-05-12T15:35:21.958-04:002014-05-12T15:35:21.958-04:00Christine, how wonderful this is what we are suppo...Christine, how wonderful this is what we are supposed to be doing to raise strong, resourceful, beautiful amazing young ladies.

Especially wonderful since you come from a different place.<br /><br />It took me awhile to think about what I wanted to say. Your daughter's joy can be seen in the photos which is so contradictory to what I'd be feeling so that's the thought-provoking part. I eat meat both wild and pasture raised. I get squeamish when I see the eyes of a fish on my plate. I want to see it packaged nicely with no evidence of what it looked like before. That's not fair nor honorable is it? To eat meat one should honor the life that was given and I think your family does that. <br /><br />It's hardest to be understanding when one doesn't "get" the idea, thought, way of living. To be honest with myself I should probably be a vegetarian. <br /><br />Thanks Christine for making me think...Honey from the Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955079572505560557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685551411011127315.post-57254797301850414352014-05-12T12:25:09.891-04:002014-05-12T12:25:09.891-04:00That is the best post yet!!!
