[Atehequa]

For a second season the large state facility where I'm employed is allowing another controlled hunt to thin out an over population of whitetail deer which roam the wooded and maintained areas of our grounds. Only bows and crossbows can be used. Early yesterday evening I fell a fine fat doe with my old Browning Nomad recurve bow and homemade turkey feather fletched cedar shaft broad head arrow. I field dressed it yesterday evening and butchered it early this morning. We'll be cutting it even thinner to make venison jerky.

It's marinaded in a dab of liquid smoke, teriyaki sauce, honey along with mead, black and red pepper then put into our dehydrators for about 18 hours.

Sweet meat, it almost like candy. Venison is healthier than beef or pork.
