Thread: Black Beauty's Triple Strike

And thanks everyone for the comments - I am so stoked. SO worth the wait. It totally pounced on me, I had no plan of shooting a deer yesterday let alone that mega beast! I was so happy with the procession at my house haha.

We got home and mate and I hung it in the shed, I though Brad was home but it was his mate...then Brad rolled up with another mate...then the block manager rolled up and brought his head over....

Good news travels fast around here Team effort had all the meat in the chiller and freezer in no time. Sunk a few beers and splashed out on fish and chips for dinner. Then I could hardly sleep just from being so happy!!!

Two great animals Dougie, Lots of praise. Since you moved to HB you have certainly been getting out and about.

Sika have an ability to store fat like a pig. That is why they are in my opinion far superior eating.

Make sure you mark the meat carefully so you can make a good comparison between the eating qualities of both. Cut for cut...like for like. It will make a good story someday.

Books arrive??

PS your remark with the photo.. 'I can see the sika in him' made me laugh. I is so obvious! "He has slit eyes" Look again.

Congrats on 1000 posts Scribe.

Thanks Ryan, I hadn't known I was that long winded.

The girl who could fit inside a stags rib cage is showing up a lot of blokes I know. Keep up the good work Dougie.

I don't like deer fat. It melts when heated and becomes a greasy sort of oil. So I trim it well back.
Some like it though. I know Cam on here does.
Well done on the deer.

Well done on the deer.

try taking the fat from around the kidneys and inside fillets when set and slicing thin then rendering in pan then cook your steak in the rendered fat instead of oil or butter.
You will be converted.
But yea thick fat on a steak itself will not render in the time it takes to cook the steak so turns out greasy.

Sika apparently marble fat in the meat like good beef? I have never had the pleasure.

Good on ya.

The elevated heart rate , the humming distortion sound in the ears that stops you from hearing your mates excitement , feeling your pulse through your feet as you make your way over uneven ground to the animal . The sudden realisation of your actions when you confront and grasp hold of your quarry .

No jump from a plane or bridge , no high speed run down a ski slope , no petrol fuelled acceleration test will ever quite match that first Deer

I will look forward to the pleasure. The bungy jump was a real yawn, crossing a busy road was more exciting.
