What happened differently this year was what we did with the venison. Usually we cut up the backstraps for steaks and then make jerky out of the rest of the meat. This year we tried something new (to us). Our next door neighbors always bottle their game meat and they let us try some awhile ago. It was amazingly good!! We decided that this would be a wiser, more practical use of the venison and decided to give it a try. It was A LOT of work that kept me busy for three straight days, but now we have a pantry filled with 40 quarts of ready-to-use venison. We have already tried it in three different dishes and it is just amazing how versatile and convenient it is to have on hand! (And you would never know it was venison!)

A Full Pantry
This year after the deer hunt things happened just like they always do: measuring the antlers, picture-taking, unloading, laundry, etc. It seems like it always takes at least 2-3 days to recover from such a big ordeal. The boys missed six days of school and even though they had finished all the school work they missed prior to the trip, they still had tests to make up and a few assignments to finish.
