Extra fresh road kill NOT my truck, I saw 4 ways flashing ahead in the dark, as i pulled up behind it I saw bambi a yearling doe on the shoulder. The lady was upset and did not know what to do, I had her call the cops to get a report to help out with the insurance Co. While she was doing that I inspected the front of her brand new (30 miles) Escalade The left front corner was obliterated below the headlight, radiator was fine and no fluid leaks. When I told her this and that she was OK to head for home, she said something was rubbing as she pulled over. Another look revealed some plastic against the tire above the upper ball joint. The steel bracket that held the plastic was bent a bit, but was so lightweight I bent it back with 1 hand.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 3:44 pmDid you get a good one ? The father inlaw hunts with a group of about six . They all have tags , some bucks and a couple of does . This year they got a buck and 2 does . Some years they got nothing , while others , a full quota . It all goes to a local butcher after gutting and get split up after that . It won't be too much longer and there will be no one left around too butcher , they are dying bread literally .
All that plastic crushing really reduced the impact damage to Bambi, a broken leg and pelvic bone. It must have slammed it head on the road as blood had come out the nose, mouth and ears, pretty much an instant kill.
I butcher my own, but don't do any fancy cuts especially with these small ones. Just separate the front quarters / shoulder blades from the rib cage, fold the mid leg up to the shoulder blade and tie with string and call it a bone in roast. Same for the rear quarters. Then remove the tenderloins, back straps and neck for a soup bone. Already ate the liver, could never stand it as a kid, but Mom always fryed it dry and tough. I sliced it and laid it in a roasting pan and covered it with inch long bacon slices with 1/4 cup of water. Put it in the oven at 350* for an hour, moist and tasty.
