bjrogg:
Urufu you might want to ask that processor about saving some sinew for you. Maybe you could trade it if you don't need it. Can't see why people don't eat their deer my mouth is watering just thinking about it

Urufu_Shinjiro:
Yeah I thought about that. This is in southwest Ga and I think you're required to take it to a processor but those jerks just looking for a rack to put on the wall never come back for them so the processor sells them cheap to those that need the meat. I didn't get any this past year and I sure missed my wife's deer chili...

BowEd:
Yes Urufu most times if the processor is nice he will take the time to get the back strap sinew.I've always heard them call it silver fish or something like that.A dull butter knife does the job.Other wise the processor goes on with his business and cuts the loins into chunks and ruins the length of the sinew.Long ago the processor I knew would let me go into the butchering area and get the leg sinew too.
Too bad you don't live closer Urufu as far as meat goes.Don't know the poundage you got for 60.00 but usually I can get ground hamburger done myself or the butcher for 1.25/#.Used to be 10 years ago I could get it ready for .25/#.So goes inflation....lol.Ground backstrap is gooood,but I usually leave it intact and in the crock pot it goes.

Will Tell:
Putting trail cameras out woke up a lot of hunters to how much deer travel in the mid morning and early afternoons. I hunted a stand by a swamp and never saw any deer. I put a trail camera out and the deer were traveling between 8 and 10 in the morning. The last week in October into November deer are moving anytime around here that's prime time. I see a lot of movement between 10 and 2 in the afternoon. I can only stay on stand about three hours before I get stiff and sore and got to move.

BowEd:
Well yes I'm sure that's true for some owning cameras but coon hunting most of my life I realized the movements of deer without cameras.I'll zero those times even closer for ya.In the evening right at the time the sun just disappears and there is a golden glow to the area it's the "kill time".Same way in the morning just as the sun comes up with that golden glow it's the "kill time".Dead quiet except for a buck squirrel/blue jay/or chickadee nagging at a deer approaching me.
There's execeptions all the time but my senses and anticipations are always heightened even more at those times.
