Riley was pretty pumped when he got his nice 10 point buck! He went down the road to his tree stand the following evening and killed a doe. Two in a row!
 |
| Ready to go back to the hunting sight to retrieve deer #2. The rest of us followed in the pick up. |
 |
| Here's the doe, weapon, & hunter. |
 |
| She was a bit heavy to load on the rack of the 4-wheeler |
 |
| Riley is filling out the tag while the girls catch his contagious excitement |
 |
| The weather warmed up, making it time to butcher the meat hanging in the hangar. |
 |
| oooh dead animal parts, a.k.a. trapping bait |
 |
| In the garage, all hands on deck: hacking, cutting, trimming, slicing! |
 |
| Riley cleaning the bottom jaw |
 |
| and boiling the skull clean. |
 |
| Venison sliced for jerky in the dish and roasts bagged for the freezer. |
 |
| Marinating jerky and oven-dehydrated finished chewy pieces. |
 |
| Back in the garage, grinding burger. |
 |
| We seasoned about half of the venison for Summer Sausage & Breakfast Sausage. |
 |
| Everyone wants to be part of the processing! |
 |
| Riley's boiled buck heads. This year's & last's. |
