mullet:
 Those are nice, Sadiejane. I haven't done that in years. I was just looking at the Fordem this afternoon thinking it was time to break it out.

bareshaft12:

I mentioned I have all those deer legs, after skinning them what is the preferred method for cleaning them up and removing the marrow without making the bone brittle?

--- End quote ---
I throw em in a fire and bed and let the ants take care of cleaning and marrow removal. Just be sure to put a bucket over it and weight it down real good so Fido can't get at it. Ron

Lee Slikkers:
Thanks Cracker but I'm up here in Winter Wonderland (MI) and I doubt I'll see any ants for quite some time...kinda looking for a way to do it so I can use them sooner than Spring or Summer.

sadiejane:
lee-i typically just bury em till im ready to use em. same thing that cracker stated, put rocks or something over em so nothing digs em up.
reckon if yr ground is frozen by now that would be a more difficult task and not fast anyhows.
boiling has a degrading effect on bone, so i dont recommend that.
seems i read somewheres else on this site regarding how to process bones but derned if i can find it or recall where now...
