Lol. Personal enjoyment only. Can be persuaded to "gift" some if the acquaintance is close enough. It's vac sealed and I'm still using the stuff I made this March. Although that's just about gone.

Ok. I guess I should add bacon and mayonnaise are twins in the making. Kinda like Arnold schwarznegger and Danny deVito. Lol

I've got a sign in my kitchen that says " either you like bacon, or your wrong".

Bacon, with a side of bacon.

Dry cured for 14 days. Then cold smoked with maple. 8 or so hrs of smoke then a day or two rest in the fridge. Repeat until I got the color I like. This batch got a total of 26 hrs of smoke.

DB, what did you get for a smoker?

I've always heard "colder than a witches tit wearing a brass bra.

Wife texted me from work and asked if we got anything good in the mail. Told her she'll find out when she gets home and grabs it. It's too dam cold out.

-12. Anything south of 0* is too cold to make a difference in my enthusiasm for outside activities. Older I get, the warmer I want my winter's to be.

Ok, I hit the trophy icon.. The trophy icon is for thanks, but I think it should be for" great friggin idea". Your dad would greatly appreciate it, and when he's gone, you'll remember the times he said "I'm going to xxx's stand".

I'm glad yours has been working for ya. Highly doubt there was something wrong with my mixer. It worked great the few times I used it with the normal attachments.

I had a 2 yr old kitchen aid, the largest one they make, that was used probably 10 time to mix batters and other eazy stuff. Got the grinder attachment, and in 5 min the mixer was junk. Sent it back to KA, and was told it would cost 2/3's of the original cost to fix. Not worth it.

Normal grind. Patties are a uniform thickness probably 1/4 lb. I do have a hollymatic patty machine that we've used for yrs to make our patties, got a 1/4 & a 1/3 lb mold plate for it. But for the past few yrs I package my burger in bulk and make my patties by hand. They are very juicy, as long as you don't over cook em.

I'm sorry.. bacon and ground venison isn't venison burger. It's venison with bacon. I make a "hunter" steak. Which is a venison steak with bacon wrapped around it, and then run through a cuber. Venison burger is just as it sounds. 100% ground venison. Now before someone says it will fall apart in the fry pan or grill, bull crap.... I've cooked thousands of 100% VB on the grill over the yrs. NEVER had one fall apart. Now if u like venison mixed with beef fat or meat, great.. I do too, but there NOT venison burgers. IMHO. The only true venison burger is a 100% ground venison. Sooooo goooood. When you taste only venison, that's a venison burger.

Yep. I love it when they think they have it figured out, then they try to say they "knew" it all along once they realize they made a ass out of themselves. Lol

I can guarantee you mine is worse. She has to text everyone what we got for someone else. No as far as snooping, she's got a PHD in finding stuff I've hidden. I can't buy anything online from our computer because she'll figure it out somehow. I have to use cash and keep the stuff at others House's. She's brutal. Lol

No I don't. But Now the wackos are trying to get the song banned. Unreal, yet the Rappers can sing openly about rape, murder ECT, and it considered artistic.

Bob Seger version of the little drummer boy. The worst... 12 days of Christmas.

Have the same scale. We weight every deer. It's shocking how "off" we were. Our 160# deer became 120# deer, lol. Many yr later, we're now usually within 10# of actuall weight.

I agree 100%. The punishment you and I have in mind is probably the same. But both of us are limited to what will be dished out. It most likely will be substantially less than what we would deliver, but it is what we have to accept.

Probably, but when they get caught again, the penalties will be substantial. Are you saying let them go?

Believe me, if these guys are the ones I know of, this is a major score. They've eluded DEC for yrs, and bragged about it. It might seem petty, but let's them know there not smarter than the law. They did get caught, and will get caught again if they choose to continue.

I know the DEC officer Jeff Cox. Lives not to far from me. I know of 2 guys he's been after for a few a yrs. Names haven't been released, but I hope there the ones I know of. Columbia county is big, and there not giving out too much info on where this took place. Good job DEC.

My season.... Awesome.
