Hunting and Fishing ***Picture Warning***

[Sugarmaker]

Todd,
Tell Nancy congratulations on the doe with the muzzle loader. That is a big deer! I like shooting them, muzzle loader that is. We miss way more deer than we get, but man we have a lot of fun.
Eric,
Sounds like its getting to be serious meat time! Maybe these pictures will help? Now if I could get the smell to come thru too!
Broke out a new dehydrator (white trays) and it looks like its working at least twice as fast as the old one.
Stuffed the two sticks (3 lb each) of Kielbasi, which will be ready to cook in a day or so. The different casings colors are just what I had, same mix in both. We should be eatin' high on the hog when all the kids and grand kids are here for Christmas vacation! I had to try a piece of this with the new jerky recipe and it is GOOD! A friend that I hunt with has been trying to get me to make it for years. I usually just eat what he brings to work It almost tastes like a late season doe could be in the plan too! We general slice strips of steaks and back straps into very thin cuts and then marinate for several days, then dehydrate. The shooter works good.
Regards,
Chris

LOL. Yeah Getting my flintlock out after Christmas is the most magical time of the year as I'm concerned. I will have to dig up some pics of the flinter does I have taken over the years, not that I'm that old. LOL

Hi Eric, My dad got one on AEP land like that once and had ears like a mule. Mike

I did this before but I must have lost it some way or another, so I'll do it again. My wife Nancy had another first this year, she got her first deer with a smoke pole. 7 1/2 or 8 1/2 year old doe, (age by tooth wear) 118#
Eric, good luck on the hunt.

Good to hear Todd. I must have misread it my bad sorry.

Nancy sure knows how to bag them!

I got one at a farm up in NW PA a few years back and I went to drag her (already field dressed) and thought she was caught up on something but she was just that big. Congrats to your wife! And thanks for the good luck as so far I have left numerous doe walk so far but Saturday I'm not going to be so nice, LOL.

Eric, Bag em' and tag em' then give them a one way ride to the freezer

Todd,
11 hours 17 min, taking the I-90 route.
Kitchen is filled with the smell of cooked venison from the kielbasi that was just finished. It took about 4 hours using convection oven.
Finished the jerky. 50% is gone already, May need more deer!
Regards,
Chris
