Forced vacation projects

[Hunting Wife]

Only one hunt left and a bunch of extra time on my hands. I guess I’ll do some euro mounts?

Those look real good, but in the kitchen sink??? My wife would be a bit perturbed, oh yeah, you are the wife

Jealous. Well, not the forced vacation part.

But, euros and meat cutting have absolutely become the most stressful part of hunting what with a threenager and 1 year old.

Nothing a little Clorox and smelly candles can’t handle.

I made curry last night and honestly the kitchen smelled worse after I added the fish sauce

Just a little cover scent, Bagna Cauda will do that for a about a week, something about a garlic/anchovy hot oil.

Those look great. Perturbed just dosen't really convey the level of "What the hell do you thing you are doing!!!" my wife would express.

I mean, it’s not ideal but I don’t have a utility sink and I don’t like the pressure washer treatment on delicate bones.

I’m a heathen.

But did you do them in the kitchen? Inquiring minds want to know

Nope...simmered in a turkey pot and pressure washed in the yard. It was nice outside so I picked them on my railroad tie bench. Neighbor chickens helped with brain and cartilage clean up

As a single male, a lot of weird projects happen in the kitchen. Most recently I dried brass in the oven

I've taken a forced antelope hunt to NM as well as an elk hunt in CO. Saved a pile of AL up to this point. Headed to CO and WY second week of November for more forced trips possibly with the grandsons deer tags. Then hope to burn use or lose the rest of the year!

Been 50/50 on fun stuff vs projects. Trying to get the pup out on birds 3 days a week. It's her first year hunting so the consistency and reinforcement seem like a good idea, and it's FUN. Projects - Shop is cleaned, pasture fencing setup for winter, irrigation stuff all winterized, vehicle maintenance done. Lots of good projects done which should free up some time for late season cow elk.

All of those euros look great!

Are all of those this year's harvest?

And what I really want to know is: Whose toothbrush did you use? Hunting Husbands?

It’s a mix. Whitetail was from a friend’s son that killed his first buck. Two antelope were ours, one was a buddy’s from ND. The sheep was another friend’s. Hunting Husband’s antelope and an old one from the shed just got sheaths removed for other projects. No euro on those two.

Toothbrush has been dedicated to this purpose for a number of years. Don’t remember the origin now

I was wondering as well. Nasty operation to have in the kitchen.

As a married male I do that, you should see what I’ve ran thru the dishwasher. Lol

Many years ago when my bride arrived at her new home, there was a frozen mule deer buck thawing in the bathtub to be ready for meat cutting in the kitchen.
Yeah ... she decided to stay, but I had to change my ways!
