Here is a picture of on that my buddy Mike killed. We took the back straps and hams from each javie and now looking forward to trying them for the first time during one of our informal shoots we have.

I dont mean to be obtuse or critical, but are you saying you did not use the who Javie and if so, why not. If not think about taking taking the whole carcase and trading the leavings.

This is a picture of the terrain on the Ranch. Spot and stalk was fun but a real challenge.
