I knew that mofo couldn't match my 640 lb Elk Statue. Too bad it couldn't taunt it afterwards!!!

Why the fuck do you own an elk statue?

There is no legitimate reason to own such a thing.

[GregN.]

LoL Hix.

The link works for me. However, your insult would be more credible if you could spell definitely correctly, or at least learn how to use spell check.

Hi electricgrave.

[KagerouSama]

The link didn't work for me either. I got a page about an untrusted connection.

Anywho. I'm'a just do a little copy/paste action in case that link doesn't work.

Deer loses head-butt with Wisconsin lawn ornament

A love-struck buck ran out of luck a week ago.

The seven-point buck was killed when it rammed a 640-pound concrete statue of an elk in the backyard of Mark and Carol Brye's home in rural Viroqua, Wis.

Bucks often fight during the breeding season, commonly called the rut. Dominant bucks defend breeding territories and female deer by sparring with subordinate bucks. Antler battles sometimes result in the death of one or both deer, but usually end with the biggest buck winning and the smaller buck high-tailing it out to another area.

Mark Brye, who owns Brye Plumbing in Viroqua, was still laughing about the suicidal buck he found near his elk statue last week.

Brye said his morning ritual is to rise early and look out at the life-like statue about 40 yards from his home.

"Our son and daughter gave it to us for Christmas four years ago because we like to hunt elk," Brye said. "The elk is a nice thing to see every morning. It looks pretty cool, especially on a foggy morning."

Brye said he knew exactly what happened when he saw the statue tipped over. Although they were about the same height, the statue weighed at least three times more than the 180-pound deer.

He didn't realize the buck lay dead a short distance away.

"I could tell the buck poked the statue a couple of times by the chipped paint on it," Brye said, adding that the buck eventually rammed it like a mountain goat.

The buck apparently staggered about 20 feet and fell.

Brye claimed the buck with a tag from the Vernon County conservation warden. He laughed at the warden's tag note: "lawn ornament fight — lost."

Brye said the deer shattered its skull. The antlers were still on its head but were dangling.

"The statue is OK, but the antlers broke off when it tipped over," Brye said. "One side of the antlers is in one piece, but the other side is in five pieces."

Brye, 58, is considering removing the antlers from the unlucky buck and gluing them on the elk statue as a remembrance of the strange but true story.

The deer is butchered and in Brye's freezer. The elk remains on its side.

"I can't tip it back up until I get a whole bunch of guys to help me," he said.

At least they butchered the deer for consumption instead of letting it rot.

Deer is good stuff. So tasy. I could go for some venison right about now.

A lot of food banks will also take deer meat.

There are a few hunter/farmer organizations out there dedicated to hunting deer and then paying for the processing costs so that they can give it to food banks who help homeless/need people.

That's pretty cool.

I've always wanted to try jerky someone makes from their hunt.

Man, I grew up on that stuff...peppered venison jerky is the best. Venison summer sausage is also great.

Honestly though, the best part of a deer is the heart...clean that sucker, toss it in a pressure cooker with some bay leaves and BAM you've got the best sandwich meat evar. When I was hunting I'd always go for the lungs/head to save the heart.

Haha you redneck.

Never heard of Deer Heart as en edible delight, but that's cool. I've no doubt it's tasty.

Venison Jerky and Sausage are indeed the shit.

I'm going to my local meat market tommorrow to get some Venison. I don't really hunt anyway, but here in CA where I'm at we don't get the real large ass deer like we did in Missouri.

And it happened just across the border from MN.

That's hilarious because just a week ago two six or seven point bucks got into a fight in at the cul de sac front of my new house over a doe. The guy who was putting in the new furnace watched it all go down and said he'd never seen anything like it in the city. I missed the whole thing by 10 minutes

[Lagduf]

No shit guys, today my cousin brought me over a couple pounds of Elk meat. He tells me it is better than Venison.

I anxiously await it to thaw.

Rub it with some kosher salt and put it in the oven at 220 overnight.

It will be fall apart tender.

[故(胸)]

LOL that's just too good. But for some reason it doesn't surprise me.
