IF IT CAN BE HUNTED & KILLED, WE CAN ALSO FIND A WAY TO COOK IT WITH BEER

In Wisconsin there are three major colors,  green, gold and blaze orange.  If you have ever noticed the crowd at a Packer's Game, 98% of the crowd adorns these colors.  The gold and green are obvious, but the blaze orange is sometimes confusing.  Here it is.  In Wisconsin, everyone hunts.  Unlike many other states, it is the law that deer hunters wear blaze orange.  It is supposed to be undetectable to the deer, but to the guy who got up and put away a twelver of Pabst that morning will be less apt to blast you if you wear orange.  This is not always the case, but rest assured, without the orange......many a hunter would be toast. The reason you see our fans wearing it to the game is either he/she just came from a hunt, or like many hard working Wisconsinites, they can't afford to buy more than one winter coat.  In fact, if they are at the game, they have spent all their money on the tickets, the brats and the beer.

Say what you want about hunting, there are however, few places that have bucks the size of horses.  Wisconsin deer are also infamous for stage diving through windshields of passing cars.  Few Wisconsinite families can say nobody in there clan has hit a deer.  These monsters are breath taking.  In some instances as they smash through your car and then through your driver's seat they will actually take your breath away.  There are all sorts of theories on how you should hit a deer if it leaps out in front of your vehicle, it is one of the great bar conversations around 1:00am, as is the heroism of the Wisconsin hunters that spend their weekend far from their families to stop them from doing it.

Many folks would look at this picture on the left and think it was really weird.  In reality, this guy probably saw this deer on the side of the road and decided since his season sucked, the road kill would make a good supplemental freezer filler.  You see, we are savvy when it comes to resourcefulness and waste nothing.  We make lemonade from lemons. Venison is good whether "truck tenderized" or shot.

Pheasant, geese and ducks love Wisconsin, and we love them.  They love to seek safe harbor in the marshes here and feed on the cattle corn fields after harvest.  We like to dress up like ground cover and blast them from the sky.  Water fowl tastes good with Lienenkugels.

The other great "death struggle" is between the Men of Cheese and the scaled beast of the fresh water lakes and rivers.  Muskee's in Wisconsin are known for their aggressive behavior and it is not uncommon to hear of someone's toes being bitten off as the dangle their feet in the water off a pier.  As the food page will also indicate, we eat a whole hell of a lot of fish in Wisconsin.  Friday night Fish Fry are held in thousands of bars, restaurants and in the homes of many a loyal Catholic.  Much like the people of Wisconsin, the fish are big and healthy.  Wisconsin is legendary for its contribution to trophy fish of all varieties.
