Title: Weekend's Harvest
Post by: GregB on October 19, 2008, 10:46:20 pm

Well, it wasn't meant to be for me to get a deer this weekend I guess.

I'm pretty sure this was the same groundhog I missed last year in my foodplot. He was gorging himself Friday afternoon on whiteoak acorns I was hunting over near my foodplot.

I soaked him in water for about 36 hours before putting him in the freezer. We'll give him a try at the club, Grant can work miracles!  ;D

woodchuck is better than venison in my book. i cook em over coals, belly up. when the juices in the belly disapate its done. awesome meat. all the vegetables he stole are in his meat, enjoy. oh yeah save the hide for a bow string. chuck hide makes awesome bow string material.peace

My Daddy always boiled them for a while. Then baked them with butter, onions, potato's, carrots and LOTS of black pepper. I love 'em that way.
 Did I mention LOTS of black pepper?

Greg nice shot on a fine hog.  I've seen one at one of the areas I hunt but he hasn't given a shot yet.

Yeah Kenneth, he just fell over and quivered a little.

Shannon, that sounds like a good way to cook them...I'm sure if Grant is involved with the cooking that pepper of some sort will be in the recipe.

Thanks Mark and Jimmy, it was about a 10 yard shot directly behind my tree...I had to cant my bow in the opposite direction then normal to avoid my lower limb hitting my stand. ;)

Way to go Greg. That's one of the critters I have never had a shot at, but always wanted to.

Nice whistlepig. They're really good eating, especially when they're fattened up on white oak acorns. I killed one with a bow last year, and was surprised how quickly a stone point therough the chest put him down-he just about dropped in his tracks. They're tough critters, I've had several over the years get back in their holes after good shots with a gun.

Greg I have a Dutch Oven with his name on it just let me know when you want to toss him in it ;D ;D

I have let a nice sized ground hog go the last two times out,..... now that there is one in the freezer then there might as well be two!
So he best watch out next time.

How about slow roasted with green mater's , carrots and mushrooms a little Cajun spice and serve on mashed taters or rice with a ice cold Miller  ;D

Grant,

Looks like a little Steve Martin in a fur coat!

Saw Filer's recipe sounds like my recipe for porky-pine.  Quillpigs are also wonderful when brined in cup o' salt, cup o' brown sugar, LOTS of pepper, and two quarts of water overnite, then smoked.  Betcha little Stevie the whistlepig would take to the smoke, too.

 thats awesome man! you got it in one shot too, we shot and missed alot at ours, but it was literly run, sprint, draw, shoot, sprint and nock, stop, shoot, you know ;D but you also shot it, through the neck, wif a friggin ACE broadhead, I bet that thing didn't move a whole bunch afterwards. good shooting man, hopefully you can peg another ground grizzly. -jimmy
