Haha dude I was just joking! Drinking deer's blood is gross! Ewwwwwwww!


TYLER

Oh man it was pretty gross. But it was something they all did when they dropped thier first deer. We strung it up and began field dressing it. I was handed a small tin cup full of warm blood and also took a bite of it's heart. I'll see if i can find the picture of me with my deer and blood all over my face. The legend behind it came from the American Indians. When they would kill a deer, they would set its spirit free by drinking it's blood and eating it's heart while it was still warm. It was deffinetly gross warm and salty, but I still look back at that as the day I crossed over into manhood. I was 11 at the time and took down an 8 point buck at about 60 yards with a .306. II've taken several larger deer since, but that first one is still my favorite.

Has anyone else gone through this ritual?

Ummm, nope. Killed my fair share of Whitetail too.

I loved that movie. I was about the age of the characters and the soviet bloc was a real threat. Wow! Have times changed.

Yeah the days of a conventional war of that sort are pretty much gone. At least you knew who the enemy was, not like today.

I could honestly say I'd start fighting before I drank blood and knawed on a heart. :nono:

I'd love to see a remake of this movie. Hollywood would probably ruin it though and put a totally opposite spin on the movie nowadays.

One of my favorites....

Many hours spent as an teenage boy daydreaming about hiking in the country with Jennifer Gray, Lea Thompson, and full auto weapons........

Actually, I may revisit some of those later today.......
