I have 2 brothers older than me. My dad was a farmer back in the day. I recently moved to a new city. I drove 1000 miles to see my favorite band play.
Speaker 2
I am a hunter. I like to go hunting. My favorite animal to hunt is deer. Deer are over populated and that concerns me. I am generally concerned about wildlife.
Speaker 1
I'm am not a vegetarian. My dad was a farmer. I like to eat meat grown on a farm. I've never eaten deer meat. I will consider eating deer meat. I moved to a city where there are few deer. I have 2 older brothers.
Speaker 2
I like to go deer hunting and will go hunting soon. I have eaten deer meat before and liked it. I have no brothers or sisters.
Speaker 1
Hey there! How are you?
Speaker 2
Great, looking forward to deer hunting season! You?
Speaker 1
Im a vegetarian.. So.. Gosh.. I dont know.. (just kidding).
Speaker 2
Well it's better to hunt them than to see them run over.
Speaker 1
Yes! I think so! My dad was a farmer back in the day, I love meat.
Speaker 2
Deer meat is very tasty and you prevent deadly accidents too.
Speaker 1
I havent actually had deer meat. What is it comparable to?
Speaker 2
Tastes gamey, potent but you should try some next time.
Speaker 1
I think I will! I just moved to a new city, I rarely see a deer anymore.
Speaker 2
There are too many of them so more restaurants should serve it.
Speaker 1
Imagine: would you like a side of deer with your mashed potatoes sir?
Speaker 2
Yes!! The rest of the wildlife will thank you.
Speaker 1
Do you have any siblings? I have 2 older brothers.
Speaker 2
No, the woods are my family.

Speaker 1
Would you like to come over to my house and try some deer meat?
Speaker 2
Sure but I know how to hunt... can't say I know how cook. Wouldn't want to give you a bad first experience, but I'll try my best to make it tasty!
Speaker 1
That is fine. I found a recipe online from gordon ramsay! Maybe we can figure it out together. I am sure it wont be the same way you have had it before. Who usually makes it for you?
Speaker 2
My hunting buddies wife is a hell of a cook, pretty sure she could make dirt taste good! Speaking of good food, must have been nice having your father be a farmer. Fresh fruits and vegetables everyday sounds great.
Speaker 1
Sure was but it was hard work too. I cant remember a meal on the farm that I didnt earn! It is crazy how different life is now. Being in the city is way different. My older brothers make fun of me now calling me a city slicker!
Speaker 2
I can't imagine living in a city, no nature or anything. Don't you ever miss the good-ole farm life or are you happy to be a "city slicker"?
Speaker 1
I miss the farm life for sure. I dont even get to really see deer here. I just happened to stumble upon a specialty meat shop. It must be nice for you to be able to just go out into nature whenever the mood strikes. Dont you have that hunting trip coming up? What was it your were going to hunt?
Speaker 2
Well, here in Oregon there's a lot to chose from to say the least. My usual is just Deer but every once in a blue moon I manage to get an Elk. My wife isn't super into hunting, but we do have a nice Elk head hanging in the living room!
Speaker 1
She must be very understanding! I have never gotten out that way but I imagine hunting can be fun. Being from the country I was the odd man out never having gone deer hunting but I have thought about trying it for quite some time. What do you use to hunt with? I like the idea of a compound bow but a nice rifle gives you more range.
Speaker 2
Rifle all day! Don't know much about using a bow but it does look interesting. I'll use a shotgun as well. Do you have a gun with you in the city to keep you safe from robbers and break-ins?
Speaker 1
Yeah, i have a little 9 mm walther PPS M2. It is small enough to conceal but enough to get someone moving away from you! Do you have to use a certain slug for the elk? Like does a deer slug work for that or do you use the shotgun for other game?
Speaker 2
Mostly use the shotgun for birds, maybe a rabbit or two. How are your brothers doing? Do they approve of your move to the city?

I have 2 older brothers. I live in a house. I grew up on a farm. I miss living in the countryside. I have never been to Oregon. I have never hunted. I want to try bow hunting. I own a 9mm handgun.
Speaker 2
I like to go deer hunting and will go hunting soon. I have eaten deer meat before and liked it. I hunt deer and elk. I have a stuffed elk head. I use rifles and shotguns to hunt. I hunt birds and rabbits using a shotgun. I have no brothers or sisters. I am not a great cook. I do not live in a city.I live in Oregon.
Speaker 1
I found an archery range in the city where I can practice, so I went ahead and bought a compound bow.
Speaker 2
That's very cool. How expensive was the bow?
Speaker 1
About $400, but still not a bad investment if I catch the bow hunting bug.
Speaker 2
I've never bow-hunted, but it sounds really hard. You need to come out to Oregon when you do catch the bug. We have tons of deer out here.
Speaker 1
Oh cool. I spent my childhood on a farm and can think of combining hunting with a farmstay in Oregon.
Speaker 2
There's nothing more satisfying than a day of hunting. You work up a big appetite and then you cook the venison. It's absolutely delicious and a great way to spend a day.
Speaker 1
I can see the satisfaction of hunting, but have to confess my preference for cattle fed in a less wild place!
Speaker 2
It's a much easier way to eat, I'll grant you that. Few things beat a medium rare steak. Of course, you don't get the satisfaction of being able to both eat and stuff the head of a cow. LOL.
Speaker 1
I haven't exactly tried eating deer head, but I have tried most other deer body parts -- can recommend the hindquarters.
Speaker 2
I've never eaten the head either. I only stuff the head. I don't think I could actually eat a deer that was staring up at me from the table. LOL.
Speaker 1
I have mixed thoughts about shouldering such a big shotgun that I think would be needed, even though a pistol is manageable for me!
Speaker 2
I totally understand that. But if you go out and shoot a bit before hunting, you'd get a real hang of the shotgun. But I'd love to learn to use the bow. I think you'd be in great shape using that instead of the shotgun!

Have you cooked your favorite steak lately?
Speaker 2
Yes, I had it on the weekend. I ate it while watching Tiger King. Have you seen it?
Speaker 1
I have not.  What's it about?
Speaker 2
It is about a man who runs a zoo of tigers. It is quite interesting really. 
Speaker 1
oh I think I've heard about that one.  I'll have to give it a watch.  Have you gone hunting lately
Speaker 2
I am planning to go hunting tomorrow. Thinking of camping out in the forest too. 
Speaker 1
that would be nice! What type of animal do you plan on hunting?
Speaker 2
I do like camping. Feels like I am one with nature. I think I will hunt an elk. Do you like camping?
Speaker 1
I do, especially when I can bring my bow and hunt.  Maybe we can go hunting together.
Speaker 2
Yes, that would be a good idea. Share and combine our knowledge of hunting and farming. Could make a trip out of it. Where would we go?
Speaker 1
I'd like to come visit you in oregon.  I've never been there and it would be a fun trip.
Speaker 2
Ye, it is a good place. Very relaxed and interesting. Are there any other states you want to visit?

Speaker 1
How are the elk in the area doing?
Speaker 2
Nothing much is out, especially elk.  The heat here is just unreal.
Speaker 1
Is it really that hot out there? Oh man. Does that mean you won't be hunting too much right now?
Speaker 2
It is really hot.  Going out hunting would not be good.  I hope to go out in the fall.  How about you, how's the bow hunting there?
Speaker 1
Oh I'm getting better and better at it. Hit a target from a good 300 feet out. Archery is difficult to do but with practice it becomes like second nature.
Speaker 2
That's amazing!  Do you mostly go for small game, like rabbits and birds?
Speaker 1
I try to yeah. I hunt rabbits a good bit and found some turkeys in my area as well. I still gotta try deer one day. I heard they make a good chili but I'm not sure how true that is.
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah, venison is great, makes great stew.  I mostly go for elk and deer as you know, but sometimes smaller game seems like more of a challenge.  What was your best hunt?
Speaker 1
My best hunt was actually a turkey. It wasn't that the hunt was hard. It was the distance I hit it for. The one I told you about earlier from 300 feet? Yeah that's the one. It was a really good hunt. Second best would be hunting a boar actually. Crazy right?
Speaker 2
Crazy, yeah.  I heard that boar can be very wily and hard to take down, true?
