Only once a year Lico has his birthday. Like everywhere, “special food for special day”, and for him it's very special because he has been doing this since he was 8 years old, to hunt a deer every birthday.
It will be some special kind of tamales (Oaxaca mexican food), deer tamales, he said.
Surprised I asked him where he was going to get the deer. He answered -i will hunt it, do you want to go? and we went.
After a long walk and some hours waiting on a hammock on the top of trees (we were waiting for the animal to come to drink water in a spot that only Lico's family knows). After waiting with no luck they decide to go empty handed. -It was not a good day, but there is always next year,Lico said when we were coming back late at night.
The next day at the birthday party we ate chicken tamales and we drank many many beers! .....There was no need of a bambi to celebrate.
