What R you doing today?

[pwrose]

Hopefully a pic of a dead deer doesn't offend anyone. I am a hunter by nature and upbringing.

You guys up north where the nice big bucks are, understand that where I hunt at it is so thick in the woods we have to run dogs. It is all planted Pine forest for a paper company and the only thing these deer have to eat are briars and not much else. So dont expect a super huge rack from these deer.

So this is what my day was like, and now its time to nap.

Way to go on the first day. Is that a 4 point?

 

[pwrose]

Being that you are from PA I beleive that you guys call this a 4 point, however there is a total of 8 there, 4 on each side. It is not a monster by no means I got one of those hanging on the wall, and another one that I have got to go pick up sometime soon. But still for where this one was killed it is a really nice buck.

Nice buck, PW. What do you do with the venison? Do you make hot sticks, hamburger, etc?

I always cold pack some of it, pull out the back straps, make some chip steaks and ground some up for deer/beef cheese sticks. Venison is so good, don't understand those who don't like it.

We would call that an 8 point as well.

As many deer that we kill a year we use the first few deer to make regular deer steaks. Later in the year we use them to make sausage. However all backstraps get cut up in basically fillets or steaks to make deer in coffee gravy. That is the best way ever to eat deer.

Our hunting season last from (counting bow and black powder) Sept 15 or the closest Saturday to the 15 of Sept until Jan 1, or the closest day to the 1st of Jan if the 1st of Jan falls on Sun. We also start with 6 tags (2 deer, 2 antlerless, and 2 hunters choice), then if we fill all of them we can go back and get as many doe tags that we want at $10 for 2 at a time.

Jon, sorry to hear about your run-in.

Yeah - now just have to wait and see if the insurance will cover or total it out. It is a 98 Taurus so hopefully the damage is not too bad..

Nice buck, my fav. is venison jerky. I also love the straps and burgs with .25-.35 sausage thrown in to keep it from drying up on the grill. What is coffee gravy?

Then I go to my shop on base to switch the tires on my car for the winter one (yep, it's that time of the year again!)

I wish everyonr a good day!

Coffe gravy
Make a half a pot of coffee with the same amount of coffee grounds that you use for a whole pot. (super strength)
Flour and brown your choice of meats (this is best with wild meat as it helps with any of the wild taste) Only brown the flour onto the meat dont cook it all the way. Remove the meat for the next step.
Pour the super coffee in the pan and bring to a rolling boil then return the meat to the pan turn the heat down cover and let it simmer until the liquid thinkens and the meat is done.

This is the most awesome gravy, that is if you like coffee.

[Runningwolf]

[Sirs]

well checked on a batch of muscadine bronze I started first of the week and it's already got down to 1.020 and going fast, did this one without skins at all just crushed all of them then strained soon as I was done. Odd it's almost clear already over half the bucket is pretty golden color

 

[Runningwolf]

Finished putting together wine racks I made yeterday and installed this morning. This afternoon I racked about 45 gallons of wine. Thats the easy part. Cleaning sucks. Freed up some primaries so I can get some Blackberry/Isabella and Catawba before Julie gets it all.
