Every chart I've seen indicates that tenderloin cuts come from the backstrap, that it's the same thing. Is that not correct? Hubs *almost* went out in the wee hours tomorrow AM, but didn't, since he has to work tomorrow. I'm betting he'll be out there Saturday morning.

Quote: I have to keep my daughter inside during this time, because they hang the deer up on the frame of her swingset. Trust me, this would NOT go over well with her. :o My BIL does the same thing, but they live in a subdivision in town, with close neighbors on all sides.

Quote: You are a true renaissance woman! Hubby is napping right now, because he's getting up pre-dawn to try again at daybreak. I won't hear a "bang." Maybe if I listen closely enough, I'll hear the "twang" of the bow?

One of my family's absolute favorite dishes is oven-roasted root vegetables. I usually do sweet potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and baby onions and garlic cloves, tossed in 50/50 butter/olive oil. Roast on HIGH heat (500), and toward the end season with coarse sea salt, fresh-ground pepper, and...

Well, the good news is that he's up in our own tree, because deer are coming to our place. I used to get a lot more annoyed when he was traveling to hunt, because honestly, I worried. Guns are not really second-nature to me; they're foreign and a little scary. Speaking of which, I'm happier...

mom'sfolly : I remember my boyfriend from long ago going deer hunting; but he never seemed to come back with anything. I asked him about it one day, and he said he had no intention of killing anything, and that it was far too much work to pack it out. And I remember my brother telling me...

Quote: DANG IT--I totally forgot that I had everything I need to make soap! I've been without lye for so long I just completely forgot about it.

Quote: I never ate venison until I'd been married for a few years. The ONLY cut that I like as steak or roast is the backstrap/loin. But this year, we ate almost NO ground beef, using ground venison instead. You have to add a little more flavor to it, but if it's in a recipe, I like it just...

I've gone along on duck-hunts, and I have a license every year, but so far deer-hunting has just not appealed to me. I've been told, however, that I AM going deer-hunting this year. It's terribly hypocritical, since I do eat the meat, but I'm not sure I myself could pull the trigger on a...

Quote: Haha! You know, I love Twitter , and there are programs that let you chart your Twitter activity--you can tell the days I'm home alone by my sharply increased Twitter activity, and I'm betting the same would be true here, if we could graph our BYC posts. On second thought...let's...

Ahhhh...hunting season. I AM SO BORED. I don't feel like doing chores, and I just finished my stack of books...*sigh*. What do the rest of the hunting widows (or widowers, as the case may be) do while your spouse is up a tree?
