Merry Christmas and a safe prosperous New Year. May you stuff, grill and smoke all year, and all your endeavors turn out great.

Retired Correctional Officer, 35 years Fl. DOC. Part time Instructor Basic LEO and Corr. Recruits.

I had some that was in shipping for about 12 days. When it got in it was fine. Nothing growing on it. Took a small taste, was good. Sealed the bag and tossed it in the fridge waiting for the next grind.

Great job, boned and cut up three this morning with the help of the wife.

Seen a lot. Hope I don’t have to go back. Will stick with training the Recruits. Hunting fishing and processing my kills.

marzig20 1 to 11/2 inch group is a difficult thing to accomplish. I was one of the bullseye shooters, but was never good enough to outshoot my pistols. I went through several armorer schools for law enforcement. S&W, Colt, Glock, Remington. Now most weapons are drop in part repairs instead of hand fitting. So a good hand fitted and tuned handgun is a dieing skill.

jpurol Thank you for your service and the rest. It takes all of us.

They all look and sound great, but I think herbco food edged them out.

Thanks for your service.

bocephus I grew up running dogs in FL. So when someone managed to killed a deer and it was divided between everyone involved, you might end up with 5 pounds of meat. I didn’t know how to act when I started still hunting and had a whole deer to myself. How 15 years later and going to S. Carolina, I usually have a good amount of venison each year.

I try to get my meat first, and if it’s a good buck, that’s a bonus. If the wife and I have a good year, then we won’t buy any beef except the occasional steak.

Those look great, makes my mouth water.

Congratulations to the very first winner.

Team camo for all of the hunters.

jpurol yes, know the feeling. Still see a some of the people. Couldn’t do the job now, new breed of Officer.

Season opened in S. Carolina Aug. 15th. Trying to make time to get my RV from FL. So when I get a chance I can go and get my whitetail fix.

Congrats to you all. Job well done.

Thanks for your service and the others that have served in any capacity.

Got pork, call John.

I prefer beef when I can get it, but pork also works well. The smoked bacon pieces make great burgers when added to venison.
