We ate the last of my backstrap 2 weeks ago, Gwaltney applewood smoked bacon wrapped, shortly marinated, Kabobs OH YEA...............trying to talk my old man into buying an Excaliber crossbow cause he can't shoot a bow.
 
Truck season is in right now, I hit a 65-70 lb 6 pt with the runner a couple days ago.
 
Dads gonna get an Excaliber, I'm trying to get him to splurge on the Equinox, or Exomax! gonna try to go to Mace Sports soon and shoot a few before he decides draw weight etc.
 
try breading and frying the hearts- amazing.
 
No bad way to cook any kind of deer meat.......... unless you overcook it. I'm fond of "Tenderbake" breading for country style, w panmade gravy, I try to use the least I can, cause it's got MSG.
 
Anybody want to practice on a skunk?!! I hate to shoot him this close to the house, but he is getting brave.
 
If you like venison, you should try heart once, they're pretty good . Slice it 1/4" or so and season/grill/fry it quickly.......YUM,YUM.............Dad got the Equinox crossbow today from Cabellas, It took 4 shots to zero the scope at 25 yrds. The old man has no trouble cocking the 225lb crossbow w the cocking aid. He and I are impressed w it's design, quality, and performance, it's quieter than I expected and is also lighter than the camcrossbows I've shot w scopes.
 
guy was shooting a Ten Point crossbow with us last week, don't know anything else about it but i have rifles that are quieter than that thing!! I have never messed with them any and this one may have simply been a bad example of the species but i was not impressed. It was fast and damn accurate but i feel the deer may still jump it and that followups will be non-existant, I have killed a doe with my bow only to have the three others that were with her come back to the spot and sniff the arrow I think the fwump they heard just wasn't loud enough to traumatize them??????
 
Just an update!! PSE delivered the G5 Montec flawlessly 16 yards to drop the doe in her tracks saturday morning!! So yes I do smell backstraps!!!!!
 
Awesome, I like the look of the Monteks, they look indestructable and I guess you can re-sharpen each side w a flat honing stone ? Dad got some pics of what looks like a Pope and Young from his cam this morning. A large buck w an unusually tall, wide, only forked or 6 point (from the fuzzy pics) rack, It's shaped like a Caribou or Elk!! It was w a decent 8 pointer and a few does at 4am. The deer blew at him as he approached his stand this am and he saw nothin but squirrels. He had 2 does and 4 spotted fawns in range on sat, but decided not to orphan the kids. I'm proud of him for that and told him he'll have plenty of time to take some as the season just started.
 
yeah you can re-sharpen them with a flat stone! (that was a big seller for me) I had a full pass thru shot and the broad head buried 90% into a piece of 6" PVC pipe (feeder) and deer ran into it breaking off an Easton Bloodline carbon shaft and after i worked it back out of the pipe it would still shave my arm and appeared undamaged haha!!
tell dad good luck on that P&Y!!!!
 
Dad got a fat doe at 6ish today w his crossbow and he was so excited. He is now 3 for 1 after apparently missing 2. I explained he needs to aim low because he's sighted the scope on flat ground and he is hunting out of a 16' to the floor ladderstand. He aimed low today and made a perfect double lung shot, the deer went about 75 yrds. We're gonna have him shoot a target from the stand and adjust the scope for that because he does'nt seem to like huntin from a nice ground blind he got at my advice.......I'm worried about him climbing the ladder stand but he is stubborn and refuses to accept that he is gettin too old to be a badass anymore ;)

Last night for dinner meat mallet smashed, country fried backstrap and gravy. 3 pounds of burger in the fridge along w jerky from the shoulders to dry today or tonight if it marinades longer. I have a recipe for shoulders I like alot. Remove all the silverskin you can w/o taking the shoulder apart and make deep cuts to the bone about every 1"1/2 or so on the thick muscles and score it all over. Use 1` large bottle of Newmans Own Balsamic vinegar salad dressing and marinade the whole shoulder 2 days in a large ziplock freezer bag in a big bowl turning it occasionally. Grill it turning frequently and slice/ fillet off the outside/done parts as it cooks and put in a bowl or just eat right then on a sourdough roll w freinds around the grill and a cold delicious!!:beer: I have a easy way to make Jerky in the oven If you guys like jerky. I take about a 3-4' peice of heavy duty alum. foil and cut the edge longways to fit in cookie sheet pans, then I lay it on a flat surface and grab it at the end w tips of thumbs,pointy, and middle fingers-middle underneath, squeeze the foil and pull or pop a ridge accross the foil and then sqeeze it into a fin or flat fold about 1" tall and repeat about a thumbwidth away to make a series of raised fins all the way down the sheet about 1/2/-3/4" apart and about the length of the pans, then lay the foil in the pan and lay the marinaded meat accross the folds and leave a little space between the pieces for airflow. I bake it at 170 for about 6 hrs w 3 pans, rotating and moving the pans around on 2 racks set near the top of the oven. My basic marinade is 1 cup of soysauce w 1/3 or 1/2 of the cup being Kikomans liquid teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup or more packed brown suger, heaping Tbls garlic and onion powder, lots of cracked black pepper, 2 or more Tbls liquid smoke and hot sauce of choice or cayenne pepper if you like it hot. Marinade at least 18 hrs for 1/8-1/4" thick slices. Heres some pics from yesterdays batch. I made my fins too far apart yesterday for the smaller pieces but it worked out and I can't stop eating it!!! i took a small bag to work today and ate most of it before lunch :popcorn:
