I got one this past year and my experience with skinning it was not the most pleasant thing I've done. They are some smelly, greasy sons a B's. I let someone else butcher it and gave most of the meat to him. Kept some for stew which turned out pretty good. I was told to clean the meat of every little bit of fat you can find because that's where the gamey taste comes from. I won't kill another bear unless I have some one who will take a good deal of the meat. I'm the only one who will eat it in my family and I won't waste it just to say I killed another one.
the one I helped skin out and butcher reminded me of a giant raccoon.........but it was very good eating.

I'm pretty sure the choke you have now will be fine, I've never bought a choke for steel shot, just used what came with the gun.....the only problem shooting steel that I'm aware of, is shooting it through really old guns.

if you're gonna use the blind you built, I would get it out there now.
-
the most important thing is making sure it's clean and dry before you add a protective coat of oil......after that any of the good name brand protective oils will be just fine.

didn't know you were in a "special" county, being Suffolk County that has some extra restrictions.
For us normal people in upstate, NY, it is very clear. You can shoot 2 bucks for the 3 seasons no matter how you slice it.
actually, the tag usage is less restrictive in Suffolk County.

Clear as mud...lol
just follow that link......very easy to understand.
-
has this thread gotten confusing enough yet?.............
-
This applies to the DMP tags I got for Suffolk county too right? I can use the DMP's during Suffolk bow season b/c it is the regular season?
yes, you can pretty much use any tag during any season in Suffolk, check out the link I posted it explains it all.

ok, Suffolk technically does not have an Archery season.....they have a regular season that only allows archery equipment.........so you would use your regular tag or both during that season. I called and confirmed this last year.

This is the first year that I will be deer hunting. I will be using a bow. I just picked up my new license, I have 1 regular season deer tag and 1 bow/mz season either sex tag. Does that mean I can take 2 bucks, 1 for each tag or 1 buck and 1 doe? (Not that I will be so lucky)
are you hunting in Suffolk County?
-
or how many never even start? Curious; why did they stop?
I guess shooting a deer really wasn't for them........that seemed to satisfy their curiosity and they were done.

my wife's taking hers right now. Almost 80 people she said. lots of youth and she was even surprised at how many girls were there. I think we're doing better as a sport then some people think at reaching the youth. Of course we can do better though.
but i agree that i wouldn't take any statement from an instructor as fact until it's in the books. a little scary they're so out of the loop and potentially setting up new hunters for fines and penalties.
I wonder how many who take the course actually continue hunting after the first couple years, both my wife and daughter took the course and hunted until they got a deer, after that they were done..............

Thanks for all the opinions. My initial thought is that it is okay to freeze-grind-re freeze for the reason that someone mentioned prior. I imagine that most meat we buy in supermarkets have been frozen prior to our purchase, yet the meat I buy is often "fresh" or has been defrosted. But if the sale is too good to pass up, we will stock up and freeze for later use. So that sounds like the Freeze-defrost-re freeze scenario. By harvesting our own meat, we are cutting out the first freeze that supermarket meats get from the slaughterhouse to the supermarket.
my guess is, that if you saw how supermarket and restaurant meat was handled prior to our consumption, it would probably cure you from ever eating it again...........you'll be fine.

seeing the words "Hunters" and "Deer Breeding" in the same sentence was enough for me not to read it...............

from the research I have done timber point is legal to hunt. I will confirm this with the dec Monday as I plan to go on a hunt with a few friends from huntingny.com next weekend. We are aiming to bag our first Canadian geese! Wish me luck!
yes, Timberpoint is legal to hunt, just not on the golf course itself.
-
Do you do it on high or low in the crockpot and for how long? Sounds really good
I usually brown the meat in a pan first..........about 6 hours on low should do it....but you really can't over cook it, I just got a new crockpot that seems to cook at a higher temperature than my old one......
-
venison with a couple cans of cream of mushroom soup, enough to cover the meat, about two tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce and some mushrooms...add about a cup of sour cream before serving......makes a nice stroganoff.
-
I'm fairly confident that hunting on the golf course itself is not permitted, I used to hunt the tidal wetland that borders the Connetequot River.....haven't been there in years, so can't give you any recent updates.
-
I've hunted Werteim several times....area 3 is a tough one to figure out, very thick brush, I got picked for that area the last two years and have had slam dunk shots at several bucks, but saw no does..............wish I had good advice for you, but unfortunately I don't.
-
I have a Traditions Vortex and use hornady SST's the one's with the red sleeves, some can be a real bitch to load.......each gun is different.
-
does that help?
