Hunting Season 2023 & Wild Game Cooks

[texastweeter]

Found one last bag of vacsealed river kitty from earlier this year. Blackened channel catfish with jalapeño cheese grits to the rescue!

[texastweeter]

Clawbear57 just let me know

[58limited]

How did I overlook this post? Amazing!

[MsTwiggy]

That all looks good, what i would give for the grits though!!! 🔥🔥🐿️

I had a good opening day for the PA rifle season. I'm glad it was early because the weather turned really nasty!😎

[Jerod Broussard]

Nice buck nice area to clean!

[hoovarmin]

Excellent work, and that pic makes me miss my time living in PA and having a basement like that.

[Spinaker]

Congrats! Nice work,

[texastweeter]

Coffee & chili rubbed venison filet, green beans, and garlic parm mashed taters.

[FireMan]

I think I just might try some of them taters thar. I’m in a cheatin carb kind of mood.

[Clawbear57]

Are you cheating? Lol.

[Clawbear57]

I through you used this pic. once already. no double dipping.

[texastweeter]

I posted it in the show us what your cooking section simultaneously, lol. That what you mean?

[Clawbear57]

Ok I'll let you pass this time lol.

texastweeter You're gonna have to start posting some recipes for all of this!

I just processed a small doe from a friend; he wants summer sausage and I can keep the rest of the venison.

[texastweeter]

Are you asking for my summer sausage recipe? Pretty much any of my wild game/fish recipes I'll share upon request.

[58limited]

Any recipe that you care to share is appreciated. Everything you have posted looks wonderful. I currently get my summer sausage seasoning from a processor in Smithville - I like their summer sausage and they agreed to sell me the seasoning. My buddy runs a grass fed beef operation and it is his processor that I buy from. I already made 20 lbs a couple of weeks ago and everyone around here that I've shared it with loves it. Having said that I'd be interested in trying yours.

Venison roast with root vegetables (onion, garlic, taters, carrots, raddishes, turnups) in crock pot.

[Skinsfan1311]

Hoe long did you leave it in the slow cooker? Low? Did you add much liquid? Thanks!

[texastweeter]

9-10 hours. Only a couple cups of venison stock, and some wine to deglaze the skillet I brown the veg and roast in prior. Yes, low. Skinsfan1311

[Skinsfan1311]

Thanks texastweeter !

[BFlynn]

Well, we got a limit of ducks in about 15 min this morning

So it's Gumbo night

[BFlynn]

Right now, we're hunting up near Sherman - nearly to Oklahoma - bc that's where my folks live. And where we have some access to land.

But I'm down in Houston and have some guides near there I like.

I'm serious, let's sort this out

[texastweeter]

BFlynn pm me

[hoovarmin]

I'm jealous

[Spinaker]

Headed to SD in a couple weeks with friends and family. 15 of us total and 5 dogs. (3/5 are Ripley’s siblings! )

[BFlynn]

I need a bird dog! My brother only retrieves so well

[Spinaker]

Nothing better than a good bird dog. BFlynn

[Sweaty Paul]

Enjoy the trip. Love hunting in SD. Be safe and enjoy. Even more enjoy the dog work!

[rmeugene]

Not huge but my first harvest with either bow or gun since 2021, so I am happy. First pic was catching him on camera 11/25. Other than the tenderloins and backstraps, the processor will be delivering garlic and maple cheddar sticks, garlic and German summer sausage.

[texastweeter]

What caliber? 460 Buckhammer, 350 legend? Congrats on the harvest.

[rmeugene]

That is actually a Savage 220 20ga.

[BFlynn]

That's gonna be a tasty deer!

[texastweeter]

Going to be spending the week of the 16th hunting the back 1,500 acres of my father in law's ranch. Haven't hunted there in over 5 years. Probably do some still hunting the first day or two looking for sign. Once I where the mature bucks are bedding and where they are foraging, I'll set up on a funnel or convergence between the two (hopefully closer to the bedding area) that has the wind in my favor. Want 2, maybe 3 more for the freezer outta our household. Dad harvested a spike a couple days ago out at the farm.

[Oak Smoke]

texastweeter You get it! Some people think it’s all about killing. Nothing could be further from the truth. I’ve come home empty handed just as happy as I could be. It’s about the experience and testing yourself. I have more than once put the crosshairs on a nice buck and said bang, never going near the trigger.

[texastweeter]

Oak Smoke My dad says "once you pull the trigger, the funs all over and it becomes work!"

[rmeugene]

It is far from just the harvest. Love calling waterfowl and watching them work into the decoys. Watching dogs working in the field. The conversation and camaraderie with your buddies. And let us not forget those glorious sunrises/sunsets!

[BFlynn]

Got set up this morning with new lay out blinds




The ducks didn't cooperate - but we got some Canadian cobra chickens



Plan on trying pastrami with the goose breasts and coq a vin with the legs.


anyone do SVQ with goose breast? Was thinking that might be a good way to go.

[rmeugene]

Still waiting for our cornfield to get harvested. 😕

[Spinaker]

Nice hunt!!!!

[texastweeter]

Get er done!

[texastweeter]

Venison stew and cornbread.

[texastweeter]

Pulled a venison ham out of the cure today. Pics of it hung in the smoker earlier, and graph of up until now. Will follow up as it develops. Working on a bottle of Buffalo trace while while repairing the icemaker in the fridge, and installing a trap seal in the back bathroom shower. About to cook dinner consisting of chicken fried venison, mashed taters and green beans, the replace a bathroom divider door. Been a productive day, even got some grocery shopping done.

[Jerod Broussard]

Nice array of pickling spices. I hope to get out next weekend in the rain if it remains just showers.

[texastweeter]

Peppercorns, whole garlic, mustard seeds, crushed red pepper, and bay leaves. Jerod Broussard

[texastweeter]

Dinner

[texastweeter]

Ham's done.
