In-n-Out doesn't close until like 1 am!

And two out of three west coast states don't even have In-N-Out.

Burgerville, USA!

There's only two food choices I miss about California: In 'n' Out, and little hole-in-the-wall Mexican joints where the illegals go to eat.

I know where a couple of the actual-mexican joints are around Atlanta.  Ate at one once and I found I prefer fake-mexican food.  I don't know if any are still in business since the residential construction industry evaporated.

Carne Asada that is all.

Reindeer are so fucking cute. Best ungulates ever.

And toasty! I have three reindeer skins on my huge sofa of hugeness and they are awesome to curl up on.

I thought that was a shop. Isn't it? I mean, I can't tell. It looked too ridiculous to be real.

Dunno about the photo (looks real to me) but the races are real

Yes, I don't consider great beasts more awesome cause some idiot with a gun was able to kill one. I'm not even against hunting per say but I don't understand the mentality of "my god this thing is awesome, let me destroy it."

I'm 'pro hunting' when it's for the right reasons. Hunting moose or bear is almost never for the right reasons (Eating).

Anyway, I've been lucky enough to see moose native - amazing and weird animals. Big. So fucking Big!

EDIT: The moose shown above was killed in Alaska and wasn't eaten. It was a trophy kill in a contest. The carcass was discarded and the head mounted.

Is it really that hard to figure out? Do I have to post a picture with a circle around the guy's face?

[Signe]

I get the face!  It's a young Arthur Mitchell, way before he met Dexter, back when he was still experimenting on family pets.

[Bzalthek]

I think he was pointing out the rationale.  Hunter is a trailertrash redneck.  Under that hat is probably one hell of a mullet.

[Signe]

But he looks like Arthur Mitchell.

I'm going to bet that the guy that shot the moose has a VERY small penis.  Killing a genetic marvel like that makes no sense at all if you consider hunting to be sport.  Hell, killing anything with a high powered rifle shouldn't be called sport. 

I'm not against hunting, but doing it to hang a head on your wall is a brand of stupid that I'll never understand.  Unless you killed the thing with a comb and two paperclips. 

[Cyrrex]

Quite aside from the moral issues I have with it, I sure don't understand how anyone thinks that shooting an otherwise oblivious animal is some sort of accomplishment.  The fact that it's bigger just makes it easier to hit.  Go kill that thing with a butter knife, tough guy, then you'll have achieved...something.

Similar to deer meat? Cause I am interested.

In Montana as a boy, hunting was a significant portion of our winter diet, if we didn't get any deer it was going to be a lean winter.  Although everyone with a buck tag wanted to find an 8 or 10 pointer, and sometimes they would mount it, generally you took what you could get because weight didn't vary that much and younger bucks with fewer points were generally better eating, anyway.

Occasionally we would hunt elk, but moose were extremely rare, you couldn't get tags (good luck dodging the wardens with that carcass) and unless you had horses or a very convenient road for the truck you weren't going to be able to bring the meat back, anyway.  Trophy hunters (generally tourists) were held in contempt.

While I do not endorse hunting as a sport, I would change that position if you were to hunt under the situation where you hunt with a sword or knife only. Then I can see it as a sport - since sports are about competition and all... make things a bit fair. Now hunting for sustenance, that is a completely different ballgame.

[Yegolev]

Eh, then we'd be on the internet complaining that real men would use their bare hands instead of a manufactured weapon.

Similarly gamey but still red and delicious. There's several places here that offer reindeer steak or burgers. Quite a nice, lean alternative to beef, really.

Your URL doesn't work. which is probably a good thing given the file name.

I love eating venison, and if given the chance legally I'd shoot one a year off our lake property. There's a processer not far from where we live in Georgia.

Bow-hunting's supposedly a bit more of a challenge, but I only know of that through my father-in-law, who took it up because after decades of hunting with a rifle (and if he shot it, it got eaten. He's not exactly there for the sport of it) loves it. Then again, I'm not entirely sure he's ever even taken anything with bow.

These days he really prefers fly-fishing, claiming it's 'outdoor meditation' and has been known to occasionally bitch when he actually gets a hit. :)

But I really don't get trophy hunting either. Hunting for food, yes -- even if it's a completely processed experience (IE: Those places where they have their own herds of elk or deer or whatnot, and have guides to take you straight there), if you're at least eating the damn thing and end it quick, it's no different than killing Bessie the cow for hamburger.

More like roast beef, but with a richer taste to it.  It's fantastic.
