So, a Baptist church about 15 miles away had a Fur Fin and Feather wild game feed last night. These used to be popular as I was growing up, but they are few and far between now so my wife, son, and I went to it.
It was the largest one they had ever had, and didn't have enough tables and chairs, so we ate in shifts.
Venison stew, venison chili...venison prepared 14 different ways. The best was the venison poppers..1 hot pepper with a slice of venison, wrapped in thick cut wild hog bacon...mmmm, rabbit dumplings, catfish, trout, wild turkey.
Excellent food, great people, many new friends.
Then....we left. 1 mile from the event I hit a deer. Suicidal deer jumped right in front of me. Someone was looking out for us, no damage to the truck, deer had a broken neck. Called AGFC to report it, picked it up and field dressed it. Hung it in the shed and butchered it after church today. Fried up the tenderloins and just had a snack Think we'll have the back straps tonight.
This one will be mostly burger (mixed with beef and pork) and jerky.
