How to find, butcher, cook and serve a fawn. My outdoorsy friend found a little deer that had frozen to death in a suburban backyard. Being a ridiculously-capable woodsmen, he carved it up and served it for a dinner party. Caution: graphic photos of the insides of a deer ahead.

This post was deleted for the following reason: I assumed at first that you were quoting a blurb, not actually talking about your friend here. That's not really cool. -- cortex

Cool link. A scavenger who can find and elegantly prepare wild game? This guy's skills will be highly prized in the New Economy.

Person feeds a fawn apples all fall. Winter comes. Fawn returns to apple supply point, but dies presumably from exposure to extreme cold. Other people say, "Well it's dead, and well frozen, let's eat it." Then they eat it (they cook it first).

So far no mention of applicable Canadian hunting laws regarding harvesting found dead fawns.

How does he know the deer froze to death? What if it died from parasites or something?

From the link: "It’ was a dead fawn. Boris and his family had discovered the fawn in the snow within steps of their back door. The fawn had succumbed to the cold and deep snow at about the same place where it had been fed apples by Boris’ mother Anna all fall."

Ummm. Yeah. What Science! said. Its not like they just "found" a dead fawn.

So if baby mutton is lamb, and baby beef is veal, what's baby venison?

Anyone taking bets on whether this will be deleted due to dbarefoot's relationship to the outdoorsy friend or the OH NOES THEY ATE BAMBI outcry?

I heard Fawn was blown up in a kiln accident.
