10. Deer Bow Hunting and Wild Game Processing

This episode is your invitation to join me in the deer woods as I alter my hunting strategy in response to the weather conditions. Prepare to traverse the snow-cloaked grounds in search of fresh tracks, while learning about the intricacies of deer behavior during the breeding season. Back at the cabin, have a buck to process and a succulent moose steak dinner to prepare.
Adventure awaits as we trek through the oak groves heavily grazed by deer, all the while discussing strategies to effectively harvest meat over capturing footage. We'll navigate the challenges of strong southeast winds and getting ahead of the deer. Plus, we'll delve into my weekend experience of processing a small buck into deer sausage spiced up with a mouth-watering mix of pork, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and maple sugar. We won’t stop there, though! Together, we'll explore other food sources like homemade sourdough bread and dairy products from our local milk supplier. So, grab your gear, and let's brave this unique hunting season together!
