Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada 2023 Deer Season

With the exceptional early season conditions, I got to carry some cool, old tools !!





Had some cool, visitors !









As well as the usual suspects !

Weather changed & so did the tools !

This was after taking 40lbs of snow off the roof;



View out of damaged blind & of soul less tool;







Meat gun !



Big dry doe !



Happy shop;



Happy kitchen;



Happy tummy;

Well done. You will eat well over the winter.

Mmmmmmm, back straps. GWPGUY

That looks good!

Good evening my friend, I shall dispense with my usual salutations as I perceive life is as it should be out your way.

Thanks for sharing the hunt photos with us, it's neat to see how others here enjoy the annual pursuit of protein.

Congratulations on the nice fat whitetail, they look to be in very nice condition.

The meal, as always may I say, looks absolutely wonderful.

All the best to you all.

Thanks guys, LOVE this time of year !

My favorite time of year too, not just the hunting, but the putting up of foods, firewood etc.. for Winter, giving myself and family a rewarding and fulfilling activities, meanwhile teaching the next generations how its done.

Exactly !!!

Doug, or Son, is helping a buddy butcher a deer tonight & will help Deb & I butcher our 2, over the weekend !

Well done, thanks for sharing.

And it looks like there will be plenty of Christmas snacks and the odd meal for over the holidays. Nature's bounty will feed friends and family. With some of the venison, you can make pasties and stews! Good for cold days!

We ate a lot of soups, stews and pasties growing up.

Venison flat iron steak - small, but fits a sandwich pretty good !







Good, but backstrap for the win !!

Deb made a big pot of deer barley soup.

Used diced bottom round, cubes.





Souptacular !

Got both the deer butchered, 2 tubs like this, + some of the cuts we have been using;

Looks great!! I see you use a couple plastic sleds for catching blood and such in your shop. Some yrs ago one of those plastic kiddy pools blowed onto our property from I don't know where. I store it up on the rafters of my garage and it's been used every yr since, under deer I hang in the garage. Works great and easy to clean out when done.

Wild rice & mushroom pilaf, with back strap trim chunks;

Haven't had a good pastie/hand pie, in many years !!

Very common in Australia, seems not so much here ?

Will have to remedy that.

Perfectly cooked. Congratulations.

Meat was hung for 7 days prior to butchering , & has now aged a further 4 days of wet aging in the meat tubs.

Will vacuum pack tonight & freeze.

Simple, but delicious !

Deer sirloin (rump) stroganoff kinda thing, with the balance of the wild rice pilaf;



I did add a touch of pinot noir, to deglase the pan & 1/2 cup of stock, when the rice was added.



Looks so, so, but was amazing !
