A Hunter’s Dinner
posted by
Virginias large game hunting season ended January 5th. The men of our household were planning to go to a hunters dinner at a local church. This did not work out so we decided to have our own with everyone. Markie 
and I worked together on decorating the room with hunting gear. There were antlers around the table, arrows 
on the wall, gun shells, and more. Markie was a big help!
Mom prepared a family favorite casserole of venison burger and vegetables. When everything was ready, we dressed in hunting gear and sat down for a scrum-dilly-licious meal.
We learned a lot of valuable lessons this year. Several people gave us advice on how to hunt better. As a result, this was our best hunting season ever.
Venison Burger Casserole
In a 13×9x2 glass pan, spread 1 ½ pounds of ground venison, put in 2 small cans of green beans for the layer number 2, pour in 1-2 cans of tomato soup depending on how 
runny you prefer, and then spread about an inch of mashed potatoes on top. Sprinkle a little paprika seasoning for additional flavoring and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Kenan, Thank you for being such a good hunting buddy this year. I will not forget our exciting hunt together when I shot my first deer. Your attentiveness in the tree stand was a critical element in our hunt being successful. This resulted in an excellent wild game dinner. I appreciated the Wilkesteams hard work and creativity in making our Hunters Dinner a fun and filling time. May we always remember that every good and perfect gift cometh from above (James 1:17). Thank you Kenan for you love for our Lord and your family. Dad
