I will also be processing this week. I find it deeply fulfilling work and can't imagine delegating it out. I do get lots of help from my husband (who helped skin and debone) and sons (who helped me get the deer out of the woods), but everyone in the end has a personal connection to the meal in some way, shape, or form. I'm also stoked that this deer will be my granddaughters first taste of venison and that is satisfying on a whole other level.

I'm looking forward to your venison recipes! Can. Not. Wait.

Thanks, Alice! And agree — watching my son crush four breakfast sausage patties the morning after my wife and I finished making them was beyond gratifying — and my notoriously picky daughter even put one down herself!

Great piece, Lou. Meat, training, outdoors, wildlife, reading, writing, family - this is a great life.

Thanks, Sam — trying our best, which is all we can do.

Nice. Hopefully I’ll be joining you in the processing soon. Three hunts in and no deer spotted so I’m off to a slow start. Venison posole sounds divine.

Good luck! These things certainly know how to be elusive. Highly recommend the recipe!

You certainly keep busy! Was that YOUR deer? He's a little scrawnier than I imagined, if so.

Enjoy your weekend, and enjoy your eating!

I love you!

That’s a doe that Kiddo spotted from our driveway coming home from school!

I too loved the Electro Dome piece by Lawson. Hope you like that wild salmon!
