    wife and i want to give canning a go. she has an instapot and other stuff that work great.

    Do some research on the canner that you would lke to try.... I settled on the Presto (23 or 27 QT) dont remember off hand the exact size, but its the big one.  I did a trial run with butternut squash to figure out the ins and outs etc.  I also bought a few extra racks for double layering the jars... Presto doesnt give you an extra.  Grab yourself a Ball Blue Book too.  Ball aligns with USDA pressures and processing times which have been tested for food safety.   You cannot can with an insta pot but they are awesome for cooking roasts and veggies etc.  I use mine often especially if I am strapped for time.  The old standby crock pot will be used if I am going to be home all day... Ill start a roast in there at 10 am or so and eat at 6.

    I would cook it first unless you’re using a pre made broth. You will no extract enough chicken flavor into the broth through just canning. Plus a good broth is made with bones not meat. Or a combo of the two

    Ya getting the burner set right to maintain the correct pressure  , and monitoring it is easy yet a pain at the same time .

    It takes a little practice for sure.  Ive got it down to a science on my kitchen stove... I use the smallest burner.  Once it gets up to pressure, it hardly requires a flame to keep it there

    Is that a pipe bomb?

    lol... Todays modern pressure cookers are very safe to use and usually have redundant safty reliefs and a lid lock.  You dont want to attempt to open it under pressure and the lock prevents that.  You do have to sit with it to monitor the pressure however.  If you drop pressure in the canner to below your target (USDA determined as per your altitude) you have to reset your processing timer and start over.

    2022 Journal..  Early doe season

     

    Plagued with back issues  so I couldnt attemp to go out until Thursday after work.

    Thursday evening about 7 PM.. took a lob shot at a big 8G doe and needless to say, complete miss.  Kicked up a buck a little  later on.

    Friday evening, hunted the same field, just a different side of it due to the wind.  I was tucked in behind thick brush to help conceal me.  About 7:15 or so a doe pops out of the hedgrow about 30 yards upwind of me.  I cocked the hammer on my CVA Wolf and didnt that deer hear the "click".  Now she's looking right at me and takes off.  I saw 2 big bucks at the opposite side of the field also.

    Saturday morning I met my son in law there... he was already in place along a field edge deeper in property.  With the back issues I have been hunting very near the parking access due to it being very difficult for me to walk.  I got a text from SIL and he said he was pinned down by 2 doe that just stepped out into the field... too far for him to shoot at.  I told him to drop a pin and made the grueling walk back.  On the way in I caught sight of a bedded buck's antlers and saw a big doe grazing, well out of shot range.  I worked my way to a spot where I could see the 2 doe in the field but I was still too far for a shot so i kept creeping closer till i was close enough according to the pin he sent.....and they had slipped back into the woods by the time I got there.

    Saturday evening I went to a closer to access parking spot, I had nothing in range but saw 4 deer before closing time, I believe they were all does.

    Untill OCT 1st..........

     

    When do the second round of doe permits come out

    I will go back for two more 9F’s on November 1.  I will hit Walmart, because Runnings wasn’t able to figure out how to take a $ 10 donation for the venison coalition when I picked up my first two this year.  Walmart was able to do that for me last year, when I went back for the 2 extra tags. 
     

    Here is proof that it can be done:

    The key words are: “Support Venison Donation”.  
     

    That money is used to pay for processing deer that hunters donate to participating processors. 
     

    Ordinarily, there is no charge for those extra tags.  

    Ive been going to Newstead town hall in Akron the last couple years.  Theres never a line to wait in and they are very good at this.  They go to lunch from noon till one so no one is there then... Ill go around 11 am

    First time out this season was last night... less that 60 minutes of legal left and a big doe steps out in the field in front of me at 200 yds.  Watched her for quite a while and the closest she would come in was 170 YDS.. took a shot with the muzzy free hand... a clean miss.  Ill be getting shooting sticks soon.  I generly am not in a long shot position like that where I hunt but I had to try.  It was great to get out

    It's ridiculous to be the only state in northeast without a bear season. The local papers admit we overrun and they don't even run trail cams. My neighbors freak out when they see them in yards a few times per year. Little do they know how many are 150-200 yards into the woods. A cop got in trouble in recently for shooting one to protect his grandkid and pet. He got of all charges, but people still going crazy about it

    Thats a darn shame.  There are folks that would love to have the meat, Myself included.

    The Good Lord certainly provides.  His timing was perfect this time.  I think last years fawn was with her and passed first at 5 yards upwind.  I was ready when she came by, and made the quartering away heart shot at 15 yards.

    She bolted thru a small patch of brush, made a half circle thru my shooting lane, and I saw her drop there, 50 yards away.  She’s gutted, tagged and hanging in the garage now.  I have a church elders meeting at 8:30 and I will skin her, cut her in half and hang in the deer fridge after that.  It’s plugged in and cooling down now.
