Class dismissed...

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.

  2. Glad 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!

  4. Good job! Venison is delicious, and the 'work' is so much more enjoyable w/ friends.

  5. My kids amaze me what they retained. My oldest can dress a buck faster than her dad.

  7. Glad 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.

Sit on my porch and let's chat. Due to the amount of spam I am closing my comments to Anonymous users. Sorry.
