Off-Road.



John: "Here's some meat from the freezer to thaw."
Denise: "Thanks! Bear meat and...what does RK mean?"
John: "Road Kill."

We have friends who, making room for the big hunting season approaching, kindly gave us some meat from their freezer. Included in that meat were packages labeled RK. John and I haven't ever signed up for the road kill program, so we've never labeled our meat that way. There is a program here that people can sign up for to get a call if a moose is hit by a car nearby. Then you have so many hours to get the moose butchered and off the road. The call often comes in the very late evening when moose are active. The meat tastes very good and we are tickled to get free meat that we didn't even have to go out at midnight to butcher, so I'm not complaining at all! It just made me wonder, "How many people in America right now are thawing out meat that is labeled as Bear and Road Kill?"
