Deer Camp

Yesterday morning my pals Sid and Lawyer stopped-by to load seven deer in the pickup truck and disassemble and store the meat pole in the granary. 

 

Two deer each were dropped-off at Marchant's Meats and Sausage and Door County Custom Meats for processing.  They will be broken down into delicious component pieces including smoked and fresh sausage.  We're going to cast our net a bit wider and send some of our business to local meat processors to take measure of their cutting and sausage-making skills.

 

The three remaining deer were donated to the Northeast Wisconsin Food Pantry network where resources have been seriously strained as a consequence of Covid’s economic damage.

 

 

 

Seven whitetails is an impressive showing for a whirlwind deer camp that spanned roughly forty-eight hours and came close to not even happening.

One of the things we've done for years is to hold out some of the kill for group communal use during Schützenfest and the following year's deer camp.  It is always good to grill-up some delicious deer loin for dinner.

 

 

You are what you eat. 

 

Eat more deer!
