A week ago we travelled to my parents' house in Brainerd in hopes of a successful deer hunt. For Mike that is. The kids were more interested in:
Picking eggs
Hanging out with the cats
And brushing their teeth in the shower?
Mike had a pretty good time too!
8 points, his biggest yet.
He actually got this buck over on my brother's property near Ironton, so thanks, Eric and Bridget. A venison package is set aside for you.
So this past weekend we processed the deer. Yep, we did it ourselves. We spent our weekend cutting, grinding, seasoning, smoking and packaging venison.
The final stats:
20 lbs of steaks and roasts
13 lbs of pepper sticks
10 lbs of jerkey
15 lbs of summer sausage
Here is a sampler platter:

The verdict? Delicious!
