@BrentD Congrats Brent! How about one of them being named "Cici, or Cece, or Ceci" You know, because they were delivered via (C- section) for one of the females? Just spit balling over here.
We use it for tacos fairly often. Just add a packet of the taco seasoning and a little water or juice from the jar to about a lb of it (little less than a packet for a pint jar) and make soft shell tacos with rice / beans, lettuce olives, whatever, etc....
First deer was a scoped .30-30. Second deer was open sights with a side hammer muzzleloader. 3rd deer was open sights with an 8MM Mauser K98 that my friends grandpa had brought back to the US from WWII, from what I was told. He loaned me the gun for one hunt and the next year I bought a Rem...
I can understand where you are coming from. I hunt solo for pheasants with my 1 year old GSP. Always a challenge getting in the right place for the late season birds that don't hold, at all. Yesterday my dog locked up solid and the rooster got up 40 yards away. She was locked up for all...
I know people that touch the tarsal glands with their hands, gut the deer, skin the deer, handle the quarters, etc..with tarsal gland stank on their hands, and you can smell it in the meat when they're done. I think people that aren't aware of what they are doing have this happen and the meat...
Thanks for sharing. I made up a batch of breakfast sausage last week from my deer. I use the Leggs seasoning as well, and mixed it 60/40 deer/pork shoulder. Coarse grind, add seasoning, coarse grind again. Done and package.
I worked in a beef packing plant when I was younger. If a quarter hit the floor- it was hung up and then trimmed, and then inspected by USDA on-site person. I think your plan makes good sense.
First big game rifle was a model 94 30-30. Don't have the gun anymore. I think I sold it to my brother. Bought a .30-06 Rem 700 put a VX1 on it, and still have it, and use it occasionally.
Scary stuff. Glad you made it out ok. I fell through a floating bog in MN when I moved here. Had no idea what a floating bog was, and figured I was just walking on the edge of the swamp area. I had my bow in hand and a tree stand strapped to my back. Went up to my arm pits when I fell...
Great pics everyone. Thanks for sharing. I started opening up ruffed grouse crops because I'm not from the area where I hunt them. It has really helped me figure out where to look for them.
I start with lukewarm water as mentioned above. Haven't had one break yet and use some of the jars several times. Hopefully your new procedure continues to work - best of luck!
