2010 Hunting

[JC-jetro]

So far I have harvested 3 out of 5 tags that I have, two does and a fawn during early firearm season in kansas. I'm after an illusive 10 pointer and another doe during the December season. I had the weirdest experience with a fawn, I shot the doe just before 7:00 am and the fawn @ 7:05 am but had to bring down the fawn from 145 yards with 3 shots and two off them were head shots and the last in the heart, no meat loss at all but the picture is gory.

JC,

Heres the bad boy im after along with a few of his friends:thumbsup:

 

[jlsmith]

plus all I save on a deer is the tender loins and hams,buzzards,foxes,coyotas get the rest.

What about the BACKSTRAP thats the best part:thumbsup:

 

[gauthier]

Tender loin is the back strap

Tender loin is the back strap

Tenderloin is not the backstrap. The tenderloins are below the spine, inside the cavity. The loins (aka backstrap) are along each side of the backbone/spine outside the cavity. But for sure, the loins are tender deer meat. So calling the loin tender is prolly ok. Just not calling it tenderloin.

But a common mistake in nomenclature as many people refer to the tenderloin and don't know where it is, so don't harvest them from the deer. On a deer, they are not very big, maybe 1-1 1/2" in cross section and 8-10" long.

Maybe not a large cut of meat but it was worth the trouble.

I was up in Canada hunting truffle and escargot when I came across this sign in the forest. Think you guys might get a chuckle out of it.

nope, it did not. Tenderloin is not backstrap. it is less than 1/2 lbs on each end. The T-loin for a cow is much bigger and that's why the mistake happns. Back stap of a deer is smaller than cows t-loin.

JC,




two little pieces on top is t-loin and the rest is backstrap with silver skin removed.




T-loin is two small muscle pieces inside.
