In case any of you thought I was exaggerating about how gross our water was, here are some photos:The white bowl is filled with water and silt that came out of the bottom of our filter cartridge last night.The red bucket is water that came straight out of the tap.The cylinder in the trash can is our filter. It was clogged.

He decided to butcher that one himself rather than pay the processor $75 to do it. So I helped him. He cut out the meat at a friend's house, but then brought it home for me to rinse off the meat and sift out the remaining fur from the cooler. That was a big step for me. I did it because he asked me to.

They were only out there about 30 minutes when he got this large (large body...took 3 grown men to drag him out of a waterway), 6 point asymmetrical buck. He's not the most beautiful thing we've seen...but since it's his first deer, he wasn't going to be picky.
