Another Friday Night, And My Husband's Up A Tree.

There are tenderloins and backstraps. It's the two parts DH makes sure he's careful cutting up. He gets a little upset if his shot goes awry and one of them gets messed up. We process the deer we don't give away ourselves. We've never been happy with how other processors do it.

Poor guy hasn't gotten into his tree stand yet between having ot help his dad cultivate some fields, a driving rain storm yesterday, and having to be home today to decapitate ducks.

Tomorrow though he says he MUST be in that tree! His trail camera hit on an 8-10 pointer, biggest deer he's ever seen there.

mom'sfolly :

They were a Kodiak family. Years ago I went to high school with Mary, her dad was in the lege so he spent half the time in Juneau and half in Kodiak. She had a bunch of sisters and one brother. Last I knew she lived in Anchorage, but I was just wondering if they are still around.

I'm curious though, what do you do when you are not feilding diasters at home? I've been thinking about all the Alaska type jobs that involve flying around.

Sorry for thread hijacking.....

My dh doesn't hunt, nor do I, but the ds spends alot of time in trees. He doesn't hunt either; he just likes to hang out in trees. If I didn't know who his parents were, I'd think there was a monkey in the family.

Mom'sfolly - I'm the project director of the land department for the regional native corporation. I have to fly to the villages for meetings and fly in floatplanes to the remote locations where I maintain our cabins, a bear viewing program, etc.​

i would also like to join the hunting season widows- but for another reason. dh is a game warden, and he is always gone. for four months a year, i forget i even have a spouse.

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.

Tenderloin, backstrap... Its all the same to me

YUMMY!

I am so so so so so excited!! Saturday is my DH's birthday AND our anniversary (9 years!). He for some reason decided it was a really good idea to get married on his birthday

. Anyway, our neighbor invited us to go over to her farm for some pheasant hunting in the morning-

After that we have to get all dressed up for our friend's wedding that night. The perfect day! And I get to make my pheasant wild rice soup on Sunday
