too much deer hunting?

I am glad the deer season is over for the year. I even managed to avoid filling my freezer with venison and was privileged to have it filled with Norman and Nancy instead. Following are a few signs that maybe it's time to put the guns and bows away and start talking about something other than the latest hunt in all its gory details.

The other day on the way home from town M was asking what all the road signs said and meant. She is just starting to recognize a few numbers and letters so it was a whole new thing for her to observe. We were going down the list of different signs with pictures on them and she was telling me what they mean. A school bus sign means "slow down and watch for the school bus". A sign with a tractor means "slow down and watch for the tractor". And when she saw this...

"Slow down and watch for deer and go call your husband"

Then the other night when Virgil was reading them the story of Jonah for their bedtime, he said he was explaining something about Jonah, sort of fell asleep and woke up hearing himself say "because he had to go hunting". Talk about eat, sleep and dreaming deer. I didn't know Jonah was a deer hunter but I suppose he could have been. I can't imagine he had much of a desire to be a fisherman after his experience and he may have thought deer meat is as good as any.
