Processing a deer

November 14, 2005

As we comb the history of the Morgan's we see many repeating traits. We were "dwellers by the water," and "at one with nature," and "hunters." We know that the land and being in harmony with our environment has been a very important thing. I see these same traits in many of our newer generation too. Sure, there's lots to instill in our children, but it was right around when I turned 30 when these inborn traits emerged. I found myself interested in many of the same things my father was in to like, antiques, gardening and growing our own food, things that are home-made and just ideas that keep life simpler.

While only a handful on the newer generations get out to hunt, I try to make myself one of them. Alas... not this year. Thanks to my friend Scott for nabbin' one for the freezer this year. These pics are not for the faint, but if you like deer jerky, and steak you might be interested in the process.
