About 11pm Monday night Cousin Harry delivered a deer to us.
He and Vickie got it skinned and we got it in the big quonset for the night (going to be under freezing!)
Yesterday John and Bob got him into the kitchen on a plastic lined door laid over 2 tables in Vickie's kitchen. We went to work. By the end of the day we were tired and achy, there was 20+ lbs of meat "sucked & sealed" and in the freezer. The four leg and shoulder (or hip) sections are cleaned up, wrapped, and in the cooler on ice to be dealt with today.
I'm sure we could have gotten more meat - although it wasn't a really heavy deer, if we'd had more instruction and a "general idea" - but hey! We are WOMAN!
Must add - the guys ran out of the kitchen and headed under the mobile. That's cool - we have running water today!
