Ty's Deer Hunt

This year Ty got to go on the big deer hunt with Bruce, Lori, and Baylee down near Monticello, back at the beginning of November. Unfortunately Ry and I did not get to go but we're sure glad that dad had a good time. Ty got his deer the second day out just before dark. They had to leave it for the night because it was too dark to get it out of the valley that he shot it in. So they went back the next day. It measured 29 1/2 inches and scored 185. Way to go Hunny! Justin is in the process of mounting it for us and Ty has already named it Bucky.
When he got home we cut up all the meat and got some steaks and a few roasts out of it but because it was an older buck it was pretty grisly so we jerked a bunch of it which started Ty's obsession with curing and dehydrating meat. Since making deer jerky he has experimented with jerking a mixture of deer and ground beef, goose (which was surprisingly his favorite) and duck, all of which have been successful. Now he wants his own dehydrator for christmas. Lol.
