Hahahah! Hey wait ain't this more like it??

 

[skinnerc06]

HAHA yeah. That was opening morning of the weekend long mini season. We got out on the lake the night before so no one would take our spot. We limited out (4 birds per person) in about 20 minutes. 13 guys, 4 birds a piece, lots of meat haha.

We smoke the deer ribs. Usually I believe they just go for hamburger, but two years ago somebody gave us the ribs to try on the smoker...They're excellent!

 

[shellbellc]

BTW! Got another one of them animals today! Grey one this time!

 

[Deer Meat]

I am going to get out for the first time this season, in the morning. Early muzzleloader season (doe only) opens tommorrow.

 

[skinnerc06]

Good luck deer meat

This is #2 in the skinning cradle. Not a good pic but this is my set up here in the boonies.

Save a rear haunch...GO FOR THE HAM! That's gonna be my first thing when I get one :{)

 

[monty]

I'm headed out the door in a few minutes to scare up a few more rabbits. Really convenient to live on your hunting turf. Will do a little late scouting as I go about to see if all is well with with my freezer pleasers.

Seems like everyone is having fun on this thread so I am going to sticky it at least till interest dies down.

Cheers!

Skinner-Back when we processed game meat we would often have customers request one of the rear haunches be made into venison ham. I can't tell you what our cure solution was cuz #1) it's a proprietary secret of the guy that did our curing; and #2) I'm suffering from a case of CRAFT (Can't Remember A Flipping Thing).

Here is a link to a web page that has a curing solution recipe that can be used for poultry, bacon and ham. The recipe is pretty close to what we used, but our Curemaster added a couple of other ingredients (that proprietary thing) to make his cure unique- http://www.gourmel.com/articles/CURING_AND_SMOKING_YOUR_OWN_MEATS.html

The recipe will make 5 gallons of curing solution-when we made up curing solution we would make a 100-150 gallons at a time.

5 Gallons Water
1 Lb. Canning Salt
1 Lb. Cure
1-1/2 Lb. Dextrose or Corn Sugar


Enjoy!!

I haven't had much luck at all yet this year, but I'm not giving up that easily. Still got a long season left. Looking forward to getting back out there. Found a few new spots that are worth a shot. I'll keep y'all updated.

Blistered a six pointer on Sunday morning. Double lung shot, quartering away. He didnt go 15 yds. Cant wait to try mossymo's venison bacon!

 

[skinnerc06]

I didn't know this was a sticky but thanks. I just got back today from a weekend long hunt at the camp. Two friends of mine killed an eight-point each. One of em' was a real nice deer, but he was all broke up from fighting another deer.(hope i get a chance to see him). Unfortunately my camera is acting up so no pics. Also, we had a real nice dove shoot (pretty popular down here), but didn't get a chance to keep any of the breasts. Next time I get some, im going to try an ADT... Atomic Dove Turd haha. 2 Breast halves with a sliver of jalapeno in the middle and bacon wrapped. Sounds intersting so ill give it a try. As always, good luck with the rest of the season.

 

[goat]

Skinner, you will love the ADT's. Mighty tasty to cook while the hunt is going on for snacks. You can shoot more dove if you are consuming the evidence.
