I have spoken with Grant at the BLADE Show and also corresponded with him.
Super nice person.
I have one of their small knives that has my Vietnam ribbon colored spacers in the handle. Super.

I got that from the Capt. at the BLADE Show two years ago.

Bow season opened here last Saturday - the Bowtech & mod 19 have been busy already.

A couple of these doe backstraps are heading for the grill shortly..

Dwight
Very nice, if you have never marinated your venison overnight in italian salad dressing before grilling you are missing something.
Really tastes great

Peter

Great job Dwight, enjoy!

Peter is right. The marinade in Italian dressing really is good. Hot grill and sear with the middle rare and rest for 5 minutes, if you can wait that long.

Pap

Thanks guys - I've done the Italian dressing before and it is indeed good. I usually marinade my bucks, especially those taken during the rut or I'll put them in the crock pot for seven or eight hours with a can of Golden Mushroom soup (no water)and a chopped up onion - can't beat it. I grind a lot for chili and brats also. Does usually get wrapped in some bacon and go straight to the grill. She was pretty tasty...

Three does a day is the limit here in my part of TN, two bucks for the season -we eat a lot of venison in my house. Usually try to put up four to last us the year and donate a couple thru TWRA to some of the local food programs.
Good luck this season to all you hunters out there!

I understand that the key to properly cook venison is to not cook it too long or hot due to the fact that the meat is so lean?

Speaking of food kitchens,two years ago,on the way back from a quail hunt,I stopped at my late daughter's place and the local soup kitchen came and picked up the 60 quail I harvested.

That evening,the homeless Vets had a quail dinner!!!

Nice to see Hunters for the Hungry program works.

Well it is getting to be that time of year-cool mornings; leaves changing into their Fall colors; sharpened the knife and broadheads; reloaded the ammo (only need one! LOL); bags are packed; shooting/tuning the bow and same for the rifles!

Great time to be alive and looking forward to spending many hours in the treestands.

Good luck to all this season. Shoot straight. Enjoy the time in the woods.

Was up at the ADK camp last week and all is safe and clear from all of the stands for the rifle hunt. First hunt though is for bow in the Finger Lakes.

Be safe to all and have a great hunt.

Good luck Tom. Give me a call when you're passing thru if you have the time.

Will do
