Ewwwww! That's about all you can say to this one.

Disorderly conduct. That's phra

"Disorderly conduct." That's the phrase police use when they know you have done nothing illegal (unlawful), but somebody has complained and they feel that they must do something. What did this person do that was unlawful? (Beside urinate-off some vegans?)

LOL!! And I bet not a one of the complainers is a vegetarian. WTF do they think their meat comes from?
Not all the Rednecks are down south! LOL!!!

While I definitely agree with Erin that not all rednecks are down South, I'm fairly sure that most people don't think their meat comes from an animal that was hit by a Land Rover four days ago on Route 9 and field dressed in the parking lot of a college arts center. I think more people would be vegetarians if that was standard USDA operating procedure.

Likely not the first time a deer has been field dressed in Middletown, CT in the last 300 years. Just a father offering his sons a teachable moment. You only wish your father could have taught you something that useful. He should of had one of his sons record it for You Tube and we all could learn a new skill for a change.

You don't field "strip" a deer, you field DRESS it. You don't remove the hide till you get it home or to a processing station. This protects the meat from dirt , bugs, and flys.
If that deer was 3 days old it was starting to rot and could have desease just waiting to spread.

Unbelievable. Why would a man pick up a 3-4 day old deer carcass along the side of the road in the first place?! To show his sons what his manly hunting skills are? To let his sons know that it's perfectly fine to totally leave a carcass and all its guts in a visible place for the public to see? Whoo, I'm sure the public near or in the parking lot were really impressed by the bloody show. If you must hunt, fine, do it all in the woods where other enthusiasts would enjoy it. Middletown, if this man taught his sons well, in 15-20 years you may get to see this "inspiring" show once again, in a public place - maybe on the front lawn of your library? Which reminds me.......if this deer had been lying in the street for 3-4 days, just like common road kill, why oh why hadn't the Public Works Dept. of Middletown already disposed of it?

The reason the town of Middletown didn't pick up and dispose of the carcass is because rt. 9 is a state road, therefor the state should pick up the carcass. I'm surprised that the state did not pick up the carcass the first day it was there.

Deer oh deer; such a kerfuffle!

The kids live wih their mother, my guess is, that's the true reason he did it. I don't think this 'lesson' had anything to do with truly teaching them how to dress a deer.

As a father that survived the a most horrible custody battle, I just want to condemn the actions of this temporarily insane dad who saw fit to butcher a rotting corpse in public view. I can sympathize that the man is hurting and is frustrated, but, and that is a HUGE BUT, it doesn't give him the excuse to repulse and offend his kids and others with this lurid act. Was dad perhaps sending ex wifey the message that it could be her rotting corpse he could be butchering?
Get dad into some hardcore counseling with a man like me who's been there and can stand toe to toe with any and all angry types.

Joe, just what is the life skill in showing your kids how to field dress a bloated, stanking deer carcass you inbred misfit? Why don't you get a real female to have fun with and leave the poor chickens be.

Joe, I worked as a butcher for a couple years and indeed hanging quartered meat in ~35F, with good air circulation for a week is usual aging practice. However, you obviously are a pretender that knows nothing about putting game on the table as such doesn't apply to the spoiled meat of a deer that has sat along the roadside in the hot sun and become putrid you stupid idiot. Quit trying to teach us about things you know nothing about. Makes you look like a jerkoff.

Sorry ButcherBob but with the USDA not breathing down my neck I have hung deer in much warmer temps than you mention. Have you ever heard of biltong? I suggest you look it up. The USDA does not have a monopoly on how to deal with meat.

You also somehow miss the entire premise of my discussion... as it was not about these people eating a deer that none of us has seen. (But many of you pretend that you have, and seem to know it's exact condition from a news article written by someone that was not even there.) It is about a father wanting to interact with his children in a meaningful way and pass along some knowledge in the process.

The deer could have become bloated in less than 24 hours because of internal organ damage if the stomach or intestinal track was torn open.

You must have have learned to read in government schools because for the life of me I have seen no one even allude to eating this deer.

I moved out of the city a few years ago because of ninnies like you that can do anything except mind their own business.

Your insistence of wanting to impose by force your world view on everyone else is something I find hard to wrap my mind around. Your ilk is either evil, insane, or really dumb. I have a hard time deciding which.

Joe and Suzy ... your comments were deleted for obvious violations of our terms of use, not to mention tastelessness. Let's keep the hitting above the belt, and without scatalogical references. This is a family show.

You continue to show your true self every time you open your mouth SuzyCravesit. Keep it up.

This thread has taken a decidedly bizarre turn!

Maybe it's time to drop this thread with all it's name calling by the two juveniles.
