Hey, everyone, welcome to the Wire to Hunt Foundation's podcast, which is brought to you by First Light.

I'm your host Tony Peterson, and today's episode is all about venison and why it's such a reward for a

successful hunt, as long as you know what you're doing with it.

Yeah. for a successful hunt, as long as you know what you're doing with it. There are a ton of hacky jokes in TV sitcoms and other shows about teenagers and their

voracious appetites.

Now, when I think about that, I always just kind of think of this in reference to boys because, well, that's what I am. But it turns out teenage girls, like my twin daughters, eat a lot too. And it was their never-ending demand for snacks that spawned the whole idea for this podcast. I think we don't give venison enough credit for what it really is. and I'm not being facetious when I say this. I value it way more than antlers these days.

A full freezer is I think we don't give venison enough credit for what it really is. And I'm not being facetious when I say this.

I value it way more than antlers these days.

A full freezer is a huge win for me and my family.

And it's something that can shape your entire year,

which is what I'm going to talk about right now.

In the old Peterson household, if I don't make a meal we generally find ourselves ordering from somewhere or heading to a restaurant there isn't a lot of meal planning going on with my bride if you get my drift

she did take the girls on a Costco run the other night to get snacks for their school lunches

and you know just for general

grazing throughout the day. They unloaded the usual stuff like cheese it's and the kind of snacks,

whatever, that we think of as food now, but if you could go back to maybe the days of the pilgrims,

their heads would explode. I don't know why, but I think about this a lot. Like if you could give, I don't know, Cleopatra a pack of gushers or some ancient Roman a bottle of Mountain Dew.
