It also would alter the taste a little I thought. As well as reduce the dryness.

I do not hunt deer and have no issue with anyone that does. The deer here undergo a hard winter. For thirty pounds of meat I would just really rather not kill them.

We had a custom of always going out and cutting down a Christmas tree. Until I did not like killing off a small tree for a few days use as a decoration. Where otherwise it may survive for longer than I live. Plus artificial trees where stating to look fairly decent.

Today the incidence of ticks is too high. This area has them now and supplies a lot of the Christmas trees to America. So I am not too certain how safe it is to introduce them to homes. Ticks carry and transmit some pretty bad illness.. They also either where not present here in the environment or very rare until about ten years ago. We have been warned about going into the woods without precautions locally.
