Took a trip upstate this weekend for fishing, smoking, and drinking....

A few pics from the back porch of the cabin near Cammel, Pa.

Looks like your having a great time. And your not lacking for deer.
Is that up by Slate Run Pa.?

Yep, probably about 5 minutes past Slate Run. I was just at the general store this morning.

Seeing this guy near the driveway was a bit scary.

Saw a big snapper turtle in the river yesterday too.

Beautiful country up that way!
Wow that's a decent size rattler.

Beautiful looking area! I bet those deer would smoke up nice. I wonder how smoked rattler would be?

Cubes (sort of...) for burnt ends going back on the smoker

Oddly enough I was able to get just a point from my local butcher. Someone came in and just wanted a flat so they cut the flat off a packer and kept the point. The meat was almost fall apart tender at 194° hence why the cubes aren't too cube like... and I forgot my good slicing knife at home!?!?!??!

oh man that would be good! Better than a bite to the leg.

Food looks as good as the area!

Nice looking brisket.  Certainly looks tender.

If I were you I'd be getting that rattler and finding out how it would smoke up!!

This was an interesting nature showdown on Sunday afternoon.  We threw a little bit of corn out and the deer came down to eat it, then all of a sudden she had a dinner guest that booted her out for a bit.  She just wandered over to the trees until the bear ate its fill then went back and kept right on eating.

He only stayed for a bit. 

Interestingly, the skunks seemed more interested in the smoker every night than the bear?
