This is the best hunting story I've ever heard that doesn't end with killing something. Incredible! Hopefully next year at this time you'll be grinding him into summer sausage

Only bad part was sometimes he would blow a casing and it sounded like a gun going off in that meat cutting room. I'll bet that was hilarious everytime it happened!

I gave my 5 lb. sausage stuffer to my brother for Christmas and here is what I replaced it with...I can't wait for it to arrive on my doorstep. www.dakotahsausagestuffer.com/This particular stuffer connects to your kitchen faucet and is powered by water pressure. It holds double the amount of meat as my former stuffer held. I can't wait to put this thing in action. Here it is in action:

Definately let these marinate at least 8 hrs. Huge difference! I made some the other night and only let them marinate a couple of hours, they weren't near as good the batch I made above. The ones above actually marinated for 2 days and they were sensational!

Welcome! I'm only about 200 miles as the crow flies but I am known to drop in at Greendog's on occasion.

As I was butchering a deer I hit while on my way out to hunt last Sunday morning ( True Story!) I was contemplating how I wanted to prepare my next meal with it. I began looking through my collection of marinades that I have and came across a bottle of "Island Soyaki" that I picked up from Trader Joe's in Indy a while back. I thought, "what the heck, I'll give it a try. Should taste good on deer." Boy was I right! But the marinade wasn't even the part that made it so great. It was the fact that I butterflied the backstraps so they were about 3/4" thick and then pounding them with a tenderizing mallet until they were about half the thickness of their orignal size. This was magic. I left one that I didn't use the mallet on and it wasn't near as tender as the ones I tenderized. Huge difference! You young kids out there, this is simple to make. Impress mom and dad by making this for them! My wife (who never eats deer meat) decided to try some after me and my boys were ooooo'ing and aaaaah'ing over it. She said it it was better than any beef she's ever had. She said she would've never known it was deer! Here are some pics with the recipe to follow. I also stole the ingredient list off the side of the Soyaki bottle and have my rendition of this sauce so that you don't have to run to TJ's to get some. The Sauce...yum! While cooking...My fire wasn't near as hot as I would've liked it. A really hot fire would've made these even better! Finished product: The recipe: 6-8 Butterflied backstraps (chops) about 3/4" thick Soayaki Sauce (recipe follws) Salt Pepper Garlic Powder Take the chops and season each side with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Using a tenderizing mallet, pound chops until they are about half the thickness of their original size. This will also pound the seasonings deep into the meat. Put them in a ziploc bag and pour enough soyaki sauce in to cover the meat. Place in referigerator overnight and turn a few times if possible. Cook on a very hot grill or skillet. enjoy! Island Teriyaki Sauce 1/4 Olive oil 1/4 cup Soy sauce 1 cup teriyaki sauce 2 TBSP of sesame seeds pinch of ginger 1 TBSP garlic powder or 2 fresh garlic cloves minced 1 TBSP onion powder Combine all ingredients and pour over deer chops.

Comprehensive lifetime here. Have not spent a dime on hunting license in about 15 years. Totally envious of that! I wish I would've done this back when they announced they would be ending the lifetime licenses.

Sometimes I've got to wonder what the history of Purdue basketball would've been had Wooden coached there and not UCLA??? He's one of the greatest men in the history of sports!

My prayers go to him and his family. After the doc told me last year when i fell that if i had been 2 feet higher .my spleen would have completely ruptured and id more than likely be dead i always wear my harness and use a lifeline going up and down. I still hunt from the same stand that almost killed me but i feel alot better about having the harness on when i do now. The sad thing is if you mention "lifeline" to other hunters, they don't have a clue what you are talking about. I'm starting to feel like I should be an advocate for lifelines. Problem is, I need to start using one first

Bremen man airlifted after fall from tree stand DON WAGNER WSBT-TV South Bend Tribune 9:36 a.m. EST, November 7, 2012 ROCHESTER – A Bremen man was airlifted to a Fort Wayne hospital after a serious deer hunting accident. Indiana conservation officers say 69-year-old Bill Hundt was hunting from an elevated tree stand and fell 16 feet to the ground. It happened around 6 p.m. Tuesday in Fulton County. The Department of Natural Resources says Hundt was unable to call for help due to the extent of his injuries. His wife contacted their son around 9 p.m. when Hundt failed to return home. Hundt was found semi-responsive by his son at 10:18 p.m. His son then called 911. Hundt was taken to Rochester Woodlawn Hospital before being flown to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne with shoulder and back injuries. The DNR says falls from tree stands are the leading cause of deer hunting accidents in Indiana, accounting for almost half of all accidents. With deer season upon us, conservation officers have several safety tips while hunting from an elevated position. Hunters should inspect their tree stands and hunting equipment to ensure they are safe before using. They should also only use a tree stand that has the approval of the Treestand Manufacturers Association (TMA) and make sure to read the manufacturers warnings and instructions before installation. Hunters should wear a full-body, fall arrest harness system that meets TMA standards. Single strap and chest harnesses should not be used. Never leave the ground until the full-body, fall arrest harness system is on. Always have three points of contact with the tree when climbing and descending. A hunter should never climb with anything in his hands or on his back. A haul line should be used to lift a gun, a bow or other gear into the stand. Firearms on a haul line should be unloaded with the action open and muzzle pointed downward. Other safety tips include hunting with a buddy, telling someone the exact location of your tree stand before heading into the woods, getting a full night’s rest before a hunt, and making sure a cell phone, whistle, flare or some other signal device is on your person at all times. Most cell phone calls to 911 can get a GPS location and assist emergency personnel when responding to remote areas. A free tree stand safety course is available online at www.hunterexam.com/treestandsafetyI've known this gentleman nearly my entire life. All three of his sons are personal friends of mine. His nephew is my boss. Just so all you hunters know the full story, Bill was exiting his hang-on style portable stand after sitting that evening. While climbing down the tree he was using a limb as one of the steps. This is a stand he has climbed in and out of dozens of times. While climbing down one of the limbs broke and he fell to the ground landing on his back. As of right now, he is paralyzed from the neck down. Please lift Bill's wife and family up in prayer as they struggle to deal with accepting his condition. I believe I started a post, or commented on a post, either on this site or bells bucks and beards site earlier this year about stand safety. I can say I have been much more cautious this year than in previous years but I still question whether I'm being safe enough. I have not sat in a hang on stand without a harness this year but I still don't wear my harness when I'm sitting in my ladder stands. There is a thing called a lifeline that could've saved Bill had he had one. The lifeline is designed to be used for climbing up or down from your stand. If you slip it immediately catches and prevents you from falling to the ground. I will be using these for at least all my hang stands, if not all of my stands. To be honest, I think I am going to do away with all of my hang on stands after this season even though I love the concealment I get from one. Just too many things can wrong with a stand that doesn't make some kind of contact with the fround. Stay safe my friends!
