You can also allow the Google Maps app to access your Android and iPhone address books to quickly find saved addresses. It was funny to ponder the gentle fools we’ve all become.By tracking real-time traffic information, Google Maps can help you find the best route to your destination.Īll you need to do is to save your home and office addresses in Google Maps, and the system will automatically fill them in as you type, speeding up your search. It was funny to think we’d all had exactly the same illusion about being different.
My take on this is that, like me, the others thought they were doing something original, something other guys weren’t doing. I also noticed that five out of the six of us have grown white beards. We no longer have the need to prove anything to anyone. By the time you’re in your 60s, hunters no longer greatly care about who’s the best or worst at things. I heard he’s as bad as I am at butchering.Īll in all, it was a great trip. If you have tips about this, please send them to David E. No soup kitchen would think of accepting what I ended up with. My version of butchering involved liberal use of a Sawzall, much profanity, and the unfortunate mutilation of some of the meat. The next day I spent three hours attempting to reduce the deer down into its major parts and to bone these so the meat would fit in my refrigerator freezer, which is already stocked with ducks, turkey, and fish. Then I was mentally exhausted and broke for cocktails, dinner, and bed. I took care of that chore the same evening.
#PROCESSING DEER SKIN#
Remember that the longer you wait, the harder it is to skin the beast. With the help of Avery and Linc, we did get the doe onto a gambrel and hoisted up a few feet off the floor in Steve’s barn. If field dressing is difficult, butchering is-both theoretically and in practice-impossible. Maybe being bad at it is-in my personal and twisted case-also something I enjoy. I’m obviously defensive about my lack of skill, but it’s also possible that I enjoy inventing the process each time. Please do not share with me the way that you personally clean deer, which is almost certainly one from which everyone else could learn. There are countless videos on YouTube showing hunters wearing white gloves field dressing deer in 12 seconds, after which the gloves are still white. I did, however, get the insides out without rupturing the bladder, which was a first. I did not use the miraculous Butt Out tool, which has never worked for me. It took me a ridiculous amount of time to get the windpipe out, to tie one leg with cold fingers to a bush to open the pelvis, to cut around the anus, and to slide the guts out more or less in one piece. I field dress deer the same way I pack, which is to say, as if it’s the first time I’ve ever had to tackle that task in my life. Avery killed a small doe on Friday before I showed up, and I got another doe, ever so slightly larger and from the same stand, on Saturday afternoon. There were four other men present, all of whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting before at the Campfire Club: Shawn Orbanic, Lincoln (Linc) Lyman, John Hayes, and Avery Stirratt. I am just back from a weekend hunt at the farm of my friend, Steve Burnett, in Bovina, N.Y.
