Thanks for all of the input. I normally have a place process my deer so it is already packaged. However, if I continue to use this place, I will probably repackage the venison either with a vaccum sealing or double freezer bags then freezer paper. As it turns out, they were only using freezer paper for everything not ground. I unwrapped some of the last steaks I had and the meat was already brown on the outside. I'm guessing that is not ideal.

Just curious how long venison should be kept in the freezer. Asking because I have some roast left from late 2010 season. Tried my apple cider stew recipe in the slow cooker and the meat was extremely rough. Too old? Something else?

I know I have not be here in quite some time but I definitely wanted to share.Here is the 10 point buck I took on Tuesday afternoon with my TenPoint Titan crossbow at 35 yards. Super psyched!!!

Happy Birthday to all Marines past and present. Thanks for your dedicated service and sacrifice. I am honored to have served. Semper Fi

Very nice smokepole! I'm just about to place an order for a CVA Accura.

I am about to pick up a new smokepole most likely the CVA Accura V2. Any thoughts on a thumbhole verses standard stock?

I am looking to pick up a slug barrel for my Remington 870 Express for deer hunting. I plan to either get a combo with a scope or add one separately. Any thoughts or suggestions? Should I stick with Remington or go with a different brand? What length should I be considering?

So, I'm finally ready to retire my old percussion cap sidelock smokepole and upgrade to a 209 primer. I will want something in 50 cal with a removeable breechplug. I have only done some quick looking at a few TCs and a Traditions Vortek. Any others I should consider or stay away from?

Great lookin' pups. Congrats!

I almost ordered the 18:1 last night until I saw the size. It seems a bit small.

Hey y'all. I know it's been awhile. Hope everyone is well. My spinal surgery back in October and the recovery went well. However, I am still having some problems with my shoulder but I'm not interested in another surgery right now. So I picked up a Ten Point Crossbow so I could hunt this year. I missed the entire season last year! Sucked big time!!! Anyway, onto my question. I'm shopping for a good archery target that will handle arrows from my bow and bolts from my xbow. I'm considering the Block® Fusion CB-16 Crossbow Target and the Rinehart 18-1 Shooting Target. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

Sweet! Ordered one of the cowboy hats. Yeehaw!

Just wanted to let ya'll know that I will be going in to have an anterior cervical discectomy and spinal fusion surgery next Friday, October 2nd. I had a single stage (c5-c6) done about 8 years ago but had two other disc failures above and below this previous fusion. Prayers would be appreciated.

Yep, two of my hobbies are out this year. :bummed:
