Bubba\'s Beast Is finally done! Pics Heavy

Simple has always worked for me..

That would not be proper! The BTCMD (Bubba Tim Carnivore Meat Dish Award) award has integrity. That would be like having a BBQ throwdown at your resturant and having one of your employees win the thing! It is all in the Stats.

rut row!

Thanks kind sir, My staff will have to taste it for you..lol

Hey Beli, that would be a little cow..We have tiny deer in the keys. Really. They call them Key Deer.

It is believed that the Key Deer is a subspecies of White-tailed deer which migrated to the Florida Keys from the mainland over a land bridge during the Wisconsin glaciation. The earliest known written reference to Key Deer comes from the writings of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda, a Spanish sailor shipwrecked in the Florida Keys and captured by Native Americans in the 1550s.


[edit] Endangered status
Deer were hunted as a food supply by native tribes, passing sailors, and early settlers. The hunting of Key Deer was banned in 1939, but widespread poaching and habitat destruction caused the subspecies to plummet to near-extinction by the 1950s. The National Key Deer Refuge, a federally administered National Wildlife Refuge operated by the Wildlife Service, was established in 1957.

This deer can be recognized by its characteristic size, smaller than all other White-tailed deer. Adult males (known as bucks) usually weigh 25–34 kilograms (55–75 lb) and stand about 76 centimetres (30 in) tall at the shoulder. Adult females (does) usually weigh between 20–29 kilograms (44–64 lb) and have an average height of 66 centimetres (26 in) at the shoulders.
Recent population estimates put the population between 300 and 800, putting it on the list of endangered species. Road kills from drivers on U.S. 1, which traverses the deer's small range, are also a major threat, averaging between 30 and 40 kills per year, 70% of the annual mortality.

However, the population has made an encouraging rise since 1955, when population estimates ranged as low as 25, and appears to have stabilized in recent years. Still, recent human encroachment into the fragile habitat and the deer's relatively low rate of reproduction point to an uncertain future for the species.



Hard to find, but when you do....yummy....just kidding

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Thanks Atl Newby. About mopping and when. It depends on a few things. If your "sauce" is high on sugar content, then the last 45 minutes at 225 degrees or lower grid temp will work. If your sauce has a lower sugar content ot none at all, the the lasy few hours. You can also take your fav bbq sauce and cut it in half with apple or cranapple juice and apply that the last few hours. You get a nice gloss but not that Texas Meriorite hard black finish. Play around and see what you like. The rub that I used was Black Bart's Brisket Rub by Tasty Licks BBQ, aka Freds Music. Now to be fair, I was heavy handed with that rub and I am not a fan of black pepper.
Hope this helps.
