Wrapped venison blackstrap and bacon wrapped shrimp

mslaw

Wrapped a piece of venison blackstrap with Benton's bacon after it had been rubbed well with Cow Lick. Sprinkled rub over bacon. Cooked raised direct 450 deg, flipping every 5 mins until bacon crisp and meat 120 deg. Then sauced with Bronco Bobs raspberry chipotle glaze. Let sit 15 mins before slicing.
The shrimp were fresh gulf jumbo wrapped with cheap thin bacon then tossed in equal parts good honey mustard and creamed horseradish. Cooked raised direct. 450 for two or three minutes per side until bacon charring.
Served with baked sweet potato topped with cinimmon sugar and butter, and creamed spinach. Egg slant.

I am ready for deer season. This thread just made me more impatient.

mslaw

Thank y'all

I put out my camera last saturday and as of today had 700 pictures on it. Our deer in arkansas dont get too big but I had some that would qualify as "decent" on there.

mslaw

Had three in my front yard within 25 yds today. Of course, I supplement their diet this time year.

Very nice. I've got so many racks on the wall that all I want is to get three fat does per year. Ready!

EGGjlmh

Thank You.

 

I want three fat does and another one for the wall.

 

Only have 2 mounted for now.  You have now idea how your post gets me ready.  Back in may of this year I ruined all my meat.  Went down to the basement and realized I left my upright freezer open for over a week.  The venison was all thawed and nearly room temp.  Had to throw it all out.

:((

Been there. Makes for depressing off season

Thats a great deer. That would be a "big deer" in southern arkansas. I killed a couple decent 10 points last year but nothing to mount. Got a really nice "arky" deer year before. That live one is from this week. He's pretty. Couple more were about same size.

Dandy deer!  I would take them all day long.  Havent even got my cameras out yet this year. 

mslaw

That would be a monster Mississippi buck. But, you can't eat those horns.

That is a very nice deer in any state!  And correct, cant eat the horns.

Biggreenpharmacist

Can't eat horns, but generally those with the big horns have the most meat. And for everybody that tells me the old bucks aren't as good to eat, I say you haven't let me cook one for you.

Nice... Love Venison

I've gotten to where I just marinate and season the backstraps and cook them hot and fast like a skirt steak. Sliced thin and eaten hot, its as tender and juicy as any steak. Man, I can't wait!!!

Me and my son with last years bucks. That was actually my first buck ever. I don't get to hunt much. And the does that I've took in the past were better eating.

Biggreenpharmacist

Great deer! We have lots of them, just don't get too big. I love to hunt, though. My kids LOVE going to the camp with me. Hopefully my 7 year old will get his first one this year. I got one last year and you would think it was HIS.

Great dad. That's what it's all about!

Biggreenpharmacist

Yep. We usually have more wives and kids than hunters at our camp. Its like a big family reunion or something. My favorite time of year.

My 7 year old (he's 8 now) was the same way.

Biggreenpharmacist

Thats awesome. Check this one out.

I'm glad I cooked venison on the egg today. Great pics of great families
