Sorry I have not been blogging lately. My weekends are spent getting up at 4:15 am and going out to our property looking for these two bad boys. I had a glimpse of the one in back, but he is no dummy and has been scarce since opening day. I have had entertainment watching the geese, ducks, turkeys, eagles, grouse, and pheasants. I've seen a mink skipping on the ice and the a coyote chasing a doe. A stray cat even wandered by. Except for the cold, it has been enjoyable. I do have to say handwarmers are the way to go. Drop a one in each boot and put one in each pocket and you are set. Just close your eyes and dream your feet are by a toasty fire.
I also was lucky enough to teach a class on butchering deer to two of my teachers. All the planets aligned and I had a deer and time to show them the basics. We made it a ladies night and had great fun. They were very happy to leave with roughly 10lbs of roasts, stew meat, burger, and breakfast sausage. We sipped a glass of homemade wine and listened to music while we worked. No fingers were cut off, so I consider class a success.
Have you ever shared your knowledge with friends? If you did teach a class what would it be in? I promise when I'm done hunting I will settle in with a cup of coffee and get caught up on everyone's blogs.
Looks like fun was had by all! Congratulations on the good hunt.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a deer! I have taught a jewelry making class and I used to teach microsoft office classes...now I teach 'teachers' how to use their computers. I'd rather be playing with jewelry and I'd love to take a class in butchering. Looks like your class was a big success!
ReplyDeleteI taught a class in Christmas wreath making last week. We had a blast!
ReplyDeleteGood job! Venison is delicious, and the 'work' is so much more enjoyable w/ friends.
ReplyDeleteMy kids amaze me what they retained. My oldest can dress a buck faster than her dad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great class! You girls look like you had a good time of it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to harvest some venison; we've got a lot of deer running around here too and they need thinning out. Great work on the butchering class, too! If I taught a class it would be on stained glass, but alas, I am not a great teacher.
