I gutted him with my bare hands.
Had a few broken bones. Marrow just addes to the flavor.
I started a little open fire right there on the side of the road. Used a couple of cans as a makeshift frying pan.
Said a thankful prayer for the deer's soul. I hope it makes it to the other side. Lord, knows I gave him enough momentum!
I used a little 20wt oil to braise the meat...not to much aftertaste, almost a nutty flavor was added because of the used oil, but a pleasant cooking oil in a pinch.
I put the head on the hood of my truck. I used the hoof like a hammer and with some of the leg bones as nails hammered the skull to the hood. It ain't goin' nowhere.
I feel lucky that at least I wasn't hurt. The deer gave up it's life, so I had to honor that with a little 2 am roadside feast.
The hide was a little wet last night but it's drying quite nicely. I wearing it as a jacket...I think it's going to be one of those shrink to fit kinda jackets when the humidity wears off and the remaing skin falls off...It's gonna be real nice.
I think I'm going to make a croquet set out of the rib cage and remaining bones. Oh well...what are you gonna do? When life throws you a deer...make lemonade!
Always looking on the brighter side.
PS: Any of you professional hunters know if the intestines ever swell down? I was playing toss in the backyard with boy...what a great substitute for a Nerf football!
