In my opinion, doe meat tastes better than bucks. Leaner and less gamey to me.
The place I hunt at in Crockett county have a rule this year that anyone that comes out to the place has to take at least two deer. If you take a buck, you have to also kill a doe. Or you can take two doe. There are way too many doe at this place. They needed to shoot about 70 last year to right the population and only got about 25 doe killed last year.
Update: Weekend started off great. Deer lease with my 5 year old and FIL. Killed a nice 12 point and a doe. Came back Tuesday and processed the deer and froze about 60 pounds of venison.
Lunch on thanksgiving at my folks house was surprisingly uneventful. My mom was a neurotic mess the whole fucking day which was par for the course. Things at my in laws started going south on Tuesday night though. My SILs husband (well both of them) has a drinking problem and is literally always drinking. My in laws hate him and he hates being here. I get here today after hitting the gym and start to help with the food. My wife comes to me and tells me that if I’m going back to Houston tomorrow (I have some work to take care of), that I’ll need to give my SIL a ride back to their house as she told her husband to “just fucking leave”. I said sure, no problem. Apparently there was yelling and screaming last night coming from their room. And I fucking missed it. Damn.
On the other hand, my mom is so fucking sensitive to everything regarding being a grandparent that if I say one thing wrong, she gets her feelings hurt. I walk in to their house this AM after working out and she’s crying over something I said last night. I can’t win.
Best part about it? I get to do it all again next month. And there’s presents involved.
Ran a 5k turkey trot in 25:50 today, a full 2 minutes faster from my 5k time from back in May. Wife is training for a half marathon currently and did her 5k in sub 30 minutes which is great for her considering she’s had 4 knee surgeries and is under 35 years old.
Agree with you there. The burnt ends were pretty dry as well and not what I was hoping for based on price. The sausage and chicken were on point though.
I only eat pizza for “cheat” meals. This is typically once every two months or so. I eat once a day otherwise. I went from 310+ to 180 lbs. I can splurge every once in a while. My typical diet is chicken/lean beef/venison and veggies.
I’ll still eat the shit out of a pizza buffet but I will no longer eat CiCi’s. Mr. Gatti’s is the destination for pizza buffets for my family if I’m going. My wife will take our 5 year old there without me if I’m out of town but I will no longer eat that nasty shit.
