Hah, and all these use to get the teacher upset if you used them: meese, bears, and deers :o) LOL!!!!! Wasn't it Dr. Seuss who wrote a book like this, having those cute pictures with each meese, moose, mouse, goose, etc? :o) Lynn Richard Emlin Reed: My Pop never hunted and neither did I. Uncle Charlie used to give my Mom a rabbit or two now and then, and, sometimes, a venison roast. She would do something to eliminate the "wild taste". Marinate it, I think. She used to refer to tallow; I just looked it up and, sure enough, there is tallow in a deer's fat. By the way, if a goose and a goose are geese; why aren't a moose and a moose meese? And if more than one bear are bears; why aren't more than one deer deers?
