I picked up my deer meat from Kips in Carnegie Pa today, one week after harvesting a mature Doe and an 8 point Buck, taken last Saturday with my Parker crossbow. I dropped off the antlers and cape at my taxidermist today, hopefully the mount will be completed before Christmas.
Tonight the ground venison was made into spaghetti sauce with red and yellow peppers, onions and spicy cherry peppers. Talk about delicious, Kip processed the meat quickly and cleanly, getting it wrapped and frozen. There was absolutely no wild game taste.
I cannot wait until later this week to make jerky, not to mention sitting down with a nice steak and salad or possibly a roast next weekend. It's been 12 years since I had venison that I brought home.
I have to say it was a fantastic meal and I'm looking forward to a very long bow hunting season (I still have Doe tags) hopefully I can harvest one for the local food bank and put one more in my own freezer.

so envious

That does sound awesome. I am sorry if I sound like a huge asshole, but how can you crossbow with the quadriplega? Do you have a special crossbow? Is your dog crosstrained to also hunt?
Once again, I hope you are not offended by the question, I am just curious.
Questions are great, I use a brace to hold the crossbow and a crank adapter for the trigger.
It takes me longer to aim than a regular hunter but I can still go.
Empowerment through technology!
