Back now

Today may be a somewhat slack day due to sleeping in til noon after having been up til 4am due to Ferry sailing times (hello 2:50am arrival). And then there is the net catchup.

Favorite recipes using venison mince? We seem to have a lot due to Z having shot one before New Years (but unfortunately not another one after). I have my usual array of recipes involving mince, but was wondering if there were any really good venison mince specific ones. Might also try grabbing any venison recipes which turned up at MLH camp (mmmm MLH camp food).

Had breakfast, time to start on the rest of becoming human.

Was the deer already minced when he shot it, or did he use a very big gun?

I did use a very big gun, but I used a non expanding fmj bullet of a sort I won't mention exactly what it is, so as to make a very small hole with minumum meat bruising (most hunters use expanding ammunition of the sort that you're not legally allowed to shoot humans with in wars, but are allowed to shoot criminals with if you wear a blue uniform...). Shot was ok, but not great (my favoured shot is to headshoot, but since blinding my right eye sufficient to be no longer able to shoot with it, I'm not confident left handed yet so these days tend to go with placing the bullet just behind the shoulder, which bruises more meat, but tends to take out the heart and lungs). In this case, I was a little high by about four inches, so less meat was bruised but a bit more thrashing and throat cutting post facto was involved. Mincing was post-bullet.
