This is the last post about the Last minute Panhandle food plot.
I've enjoyed reporting this on a weekly basis, even if this season was not the best I've experienced. Was blessed with 2 young bucks, which I am very thankful. It's tough to not have enough venison to get through the year since we really enjoy venison. Had a fair amount left over from last year because of my knee surgery in June. Some how it was a lot easier to have Miss Joy do the meals than for me to try to cook venison on a bum knee before and after the surgery.
Planted the Rye plot on short notice, got on the tractor with a little folding ladder, it was up and growing well on opening day, Thanksgiving afternoon killed a 4 pt. with my oldest grandson. Had my hip replaced on Dec. 15th and was given go ahead by the doc to hunt on Jan 30th. Took a week to kill another little buck, a 3 pt., still legal south of I-10. The plot was very productive as far as deer sightings, only failed to see deer 3 times(I think).
Going to be working up the grinding meat probably next week, 60/40 sausage, stuffed/smoked and fresh bulk, some summer sausage and grinding the real choice "scraps" for Miss Joy's chili and spaghetti sauce meat. Same time we'll show our new Pastor how the sausage business goes. He's new to deer huntin' and was blessed with a couple of nice bucks, I'm afraid he's got the fever, he and another church member are plannin' a turkey hunt for the pastor's young son. Good stuff!
Several pictures to close this down. Garden time is approachin' here in the Panhandle, weather is warming up, got the garden spots disked up. This morning it was 70 degrees at day break, 80 by noon and 55 by 1pm! A little front passed through with at 25 degree drop in less than an hour. It's in the low 40's now, so it may be better sausage weather than gardening for a week or so.
