Been needing some spoons and fork with a long handle, Beau has some bought ones he uses in camp all the time so I decided to make me some, He said I was to tight to buys some.  I said not tight just fugal.

Had another deer to process so got on it Friday, got about 35lbs of burger and steaks not counting the shoulders. Shawn also had a road kill buck, We processed it also, mainly hit in the head so lots of good meat on it, Will took the hide/Shawn the meat and I got the horns.

I decided to get back out in the woods Saturday morning before the doc tells me I can't, and what a morning it was, seen 2 bucks which I can't shoot /2 buttons and 9 doe, brought 1 of the doe's home with me, was using my old faithful Osage bow/spruce shafts with 160 ace head, been quite a year, 9 yards double lung and top of heart, ran 60 yards and I seen her go down, love it when it goes like that.  :)the only place  my girls like better than their chair by the fire is the meat pole.

Don't think this arrow can be fixed, This is the arrow I used on my last buck, broke the end off when in lodged in the off shoulder, fix it with one of Jim Davis's arrow fix, then washed it off and used it on the doe, I think it is done now.  Rarely get 2 deer with wood arrows anyway so this was a plus. Thanks Jim the arrow repair is a fine product, and no he ant paying me to say that. Had a good fire Saturday nigh and a good nights sleep. Hope yall had a good one also.Life is Good.

Great weekend, very busy one but I like it that way, keeps me out of trouble. We done a lot of clean up from all the trees cut around the cabin, got most of the logs dragged out where we can cut them up for fire wood, still lots of brush but making head way. I also got my deer worked up and in the freezer along with 2 more euro mounts and a little hide work. Quite the mess but this is before we started, looking better now.

Got a deer head and coyote head in the boil, also set up for my meat cutting. I love this kitchen, it make things so much easier.

Getting a lot of supplies along with the meat.

Got 13 lbs of burger and 14 lbs of steaks from my doe, last of the brats for lunch, think I have 3 or 4 packs left and will be time to make more. With all the wood cutting we are making a start on replenishing the wood pile. Long way to go but it's a start.

Then some hide work, got my big hide ready to sand and take out of the rack, Will jumped in and helped me with the second, 1 to go and probably call it all for the year. Then back to wood cutting and log dragging. Doctor said I didn't have a tear in my shoulder , had bursitis and arthritis , old age I guess, anyway getting a shot tomorrow morning and be laid up a couple of days he said but should take care of it and that is great news, feel very Blessed for sure.

In between clean up I worked on my heads, lots of waiting time when doing euro mounts.  It like hurry up and wait which is hard for me. 
coyote head in the peroxide and deer head ready for final boiling and cleaning

Final boil on the deer head, getting quite the collection, not sure what I will do with them but enjoy doing them . A buddy showed up Friday evening with a Osage log he had cut but didn't want, good looking log, clean and good rings, I feel sure I can find a use for it.  sealed the ends and will split it when my shoulder get ready for that.
