BowEd:
That's a lot of meat.Equaling around 4 average deer or so.Maybe at least a 3 to 4 year old animal?I was kinda asking what the loin weighed really.
No brains or spinal fluid which makes sense.Crossing the line then did'nt involve any extra red tape then.A little extra work cleaning the head out though.Which I'm sure you did'nt mind anyway.
Pappy:
Ya wished I had weighted one of the back straps, quite a lot of steaks from one for sure. Cleaning the head wasn't a big deal once I thought of the car wash, the brains are sometimes a lot of trouble to get out before cooking if you want to do a Euro mount, but with the pressure washer it wasn't to bad, just kind of messy. ;)

WhistlingBadger:
Using the car wash to remove the brains is a stroke of brilliance. ;D
BowEd:
That was nice of you.Did you forget your goggles?....ha ha.Stuff really flies around with a power washer with all that force of pressure.It sure does save a bit of work with a power washer though.Used mine before cleaning beef and buffalo hides.
It seems it's a bit too much for cleaning white tail skulls though so I use the garden hose from the hydrant with a fine nozzle.
When dehairing beef hides all mud and manure needs to be removed as it will dull the scraper prematurely.
Pappy:
YA I needed goggles, it worked for getting the brains out very well, didn't really try to clean up much else. I figured it was to strong for that. I am working on boiling it out and doing a euro mount this weekend, had to break out the big pot and big cooker for it yesterday and boiled for about 2 hours, looking good so far. Going to clean on it a bit this morning and then boil a little more. Also got the TwinOaks nap in going on through the weekend so lots of nappers coming in. I am just a watcher but will try and take care of their needs in between bush hogging and working on a few stands, season opens next Saturday so need to get some stands up/check for acorns and persimmons dropping and some others stands checked for safety that have been up since last season. Should be a fun weekend. Tomorrow in my birthday the 17th, big 70 WOW, and Miss Joanie ask what I wanted to do, I said the same thing I do most weekends hang out at the cabin and in the woods, she said it's your day, do what you like. :) Love that gal !!!! ;) :) :) Hope yall have a good one also. Life is Good. :)
