Goober 1,555 Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) I made beer bratwurst this weekend. 20 lbs ground venison 5 lbs pork fat 2 lbs LEM Backwoods hi temp cheddar cheese 1 package LEM Backwoods bratwurst spice 8 ounces LEM Backwoods soy protein 40 oz homemade gluten free lager beer 17 oz water 1 package 32-35mm. natural pork casings Mixed liquid with dry mix first—had to add water because meat was still tacky—or I woulda brought more beer. Grind meat, barely thawed, through a #32 grinder. Mixed cheese and liquid mix into meat. Let cure 24 hours. Extrude into casings or sausage tubes. Made 30lbs sausage. If you don’t have a sausage stuffer you can also divide into 1 lbs packages and wrap in freezer paper. Edited March 29, 2022 by Goober 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chevymec 510 Posted November 12, 2022 Shot a doe a few weeks ago. My hunting buddy( middle son) and I have seen a few bucks but not in his comfortable shooting range. Sometimes I like just watching the deer do their thing. Need to take about 2 more to carry us through the year. It always gets tough from Thanksgiving out to take one here. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,611 Posted November 14, 2022 My middle daughter passed on a small 8 point Saturday morning. Said she wasn't comfortable taking the shot at that distance. I was proud of her for recognizing and not forcing the shot. I saw a raccoon Saturday afternoon. LOL 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chevymec 510 Posted December 24, 2022 Shot this coyote a few weeks ago. 318yds with my 270. Longest kill to date. Son shot a doe a few weeks after my last post. He had a chance to shoot a buck at about 25 yards but I didn't know if the other hunter beside us was in his stand. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
