I have shoulder problems so I switched to a crossbow a few years ago. I bought the cheapest one that was adequate just to get started. It worked fine, but definitely got what I paid for. I've been contemplating upgrading, but damn a good crossbow is expensive. An old guy I know reached the point where the mind was willing but the body just didn't have it
So he unloaded all of his archery equipment and I got a really good deal on this very nice crossbow. Definitely what I was looking for at a price I was more comfortable with.
Flocked my flambeau floaters. Yankeegray filled the wife's car with his old ones. We aint going to just watch em fly by this time. They make damn good jerky.
There's only one weekend where both teal and goose are in this year. That definitely narrows down our options if we want to go in September.
They make good jerky, sausage, ... Many things.
I used to take the leg quarters and slow cook them until the fall off the bone and eat them like pulled pork with BBQ sauce. I have a pressure cooker and that's a lot quicker way to do basically the same thing. Not quite as good, but doesn't take all day. Now I throw the leg quarters in the pressure cooker right after I clean them and then debone and freeze the cooked meat to save space in the freezer.
I still have some goose leg/thigh meat left that's getting pretty old. I threw some in with some spicy arrabiata sauce that I usually use with my hot Italian sausage I make from the geese. Let it slow simmer for a good while so the old meat soaks up the flavor and get a little forgiveness from being in the freezer too long. It turned out good and my wife really likes it. So that incredibly simple recipe has been added to the options list. This year I'll try to not wait so long so the meat isn't starting out with a little freezer burn
Monday I had crane with steak seasoning and fried red bell peppers and a little bit of jalapenos for a little extra flavor. I don't know what you are talking about. Didn't taste like egret at all.
