Recommended Posts

 

Bought a new Pit Boss Smoker. Made a Pork Tenderloin yesterday & Deer Jerky today with a High Mountain Mesquite kit. Jerky turned out AMAZING!!! (As well as the pork!!)

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.

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.

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

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.
