Man these 2 blizzards of record book proportions , have gotten me behind in prep work. I'm off work Thurs, Fri and Sat to do some major catch up. But it looks like it will be raining Friday and Saturday. grrr No problem, I work better under pressure, just a lot more adult words being used. haha
Anyhow, I just read through all 18 pages of this thread to refresh my memory about what's going on. It looks like there's going to be about 20 people in and out for the weekend. Here's what I have, meals first, of course.
Friday evening we're having Chili. I'm doing a pot of venison chili and Brian will be bring a pot of wild turkey chili. Anyone one wanting to add sides feel free to do so.
Saturday morning seem a couple folks are cooking a breakfast casserole. I'll add some breakfast stuff to this mix. My hens are starting to lay pretty well right now. Bill mentioned biscuits and gravy in his Dutch ovens. Bill, don't stress your knee. But, if you could bring the supplies, we can easily do them in one of the 2 stoves I have. Would someone step up to be the breakfast chef to coordinate everyone who's cooking this breakfast? What time should we say breakfast will be served?
Saturday evening, we're having a smoked deer hind quarter from Greg and wild boar BBQ from me. I will say this razor back boar has a little strong flavor, but I'm still experiment with it. Side items for this meal are appreciated. I will be head chef for this meal. I'm shooting to eat around 6PM so that means we'll eat at dark-thirty. haha Hey it's better than midnight.
Lunch, everyone is own their own, unless someone wants to take charge of cooking something. But, being on our own allows for individuals to be flexible with their work process.
3-D shoot, I propose we do it right after breakfast, before everyone gets working on bows and knapping.
Hide tanning: I thinking all the "instructors" have a plan on what they're going to demonstrate. Fleshing beams, tanning bucket, smoking racks will be set up all day each day. Maybe I should have a bulletin board set up for tanning instructors to announce when they're going to start a particular process. Instructors to post on it an hour in advance. That would keep scheduling loose but organized.
Clay Pigeon shoot, I suggest we start at 1PM, Saturday, because I need to get started with the meat smoking process by 3PM if we have any hopes at all of eating by 6PM. The clay pigeon course will be set up Friday afternoon. So, folks cans practice at anytime. It looks like we'll have at least 6 boxes of pigeons to shoot at. I'm appointing Brian as Range Officer. Could a couple folks volunteer to be assistant Ranger Officers who would take folks out to practice if they wish to do so, so that Brian would not be spending all weekend in field? I know most of you and trust your safety ethics, but having someone to show shooter the range would be good. Speaking of safety, I would like to request that if you're not the shooter or the on-deck shooter, please have the breech of your shotgun open.
Sunset Saturday is 7:49PM. Serious bow building begins at 7PM. All nighters are allowed, but we may have to work around Daniel's cot around 1AM. But, he won't mind. I think he'll sleep better with little, yellow, curly wood shavings falling on his head.
Sunday, Breakfast and lunch are left-overs or whatever. Bow building, knapping, skeet and 3-D shooting is a free for all. We'll do it as the mood strikes us.
Let me know if I left out anything.
