Duck, There is a special satisfaction of harvesting a deer with a recurve/longbow, Bear RHs, feather fletch, and cedar shafts! My hat off to you, and best of success!
Yep, it's another scheme to create a shortage--increase prices beyond reason. Then, we notice that once the prices go up, they never go back down to before-prices even if there's no more shortage of said product!

Take reds, and cut then lengthwise into six or eight wedges--rub with garlic-butter pizza dipping sauce, and bake on foil @ 350 for 45 minutes. Now sprinkle with season salt and enjoy!

8-bison--(if this counts)--most...
