Yes we have mule deer and White tail also. The hunts that I like to do have become hard to get anymore, unless you have lots of preference points.

Finally some updates. For the pastrami I soaked it for a bit then gave it a nice coating of garlic, onion, coriander, a little bit of ground clove & a black pepper.

Once I got it coated I wrapped it in saran wrap & put it in the fridge.

Here are some more pieces ready to go in for dried venison. The one in the bag is for the ham that Todd wanted to see. It had some garlic, onion & a bit of pineapple added to its brine...

Anytime you apply for a lottery or draw area to hunt in and dont get picked you recieve a preferance point.If a area gets 100 passes for hunters the top 100 hunters with the most preferance points get to hunt the rest get a point for next time.Once you are selected if you tag out or not you lose your points and can start over.Some areas depending on the game tag can take up to 10 years to get a tag in.

OK----That might be the way we do Elk. Anybody in PA can shoot a deer in any area (except in cities), in some places I guess up to about 5 Deer (which I think is Stupid!!). PA has millions of acres of "State Game Lands" set aside for hunting.

Thanks for the reply,

Bear

Sorry about the Hijack, Jeremy----I just had to find out what this "Preference Point" thing was.

I got the dried venison sliced today. I put it in the freezer for a bit to stiffen up & got out the trusty Hobart.

  it turned out great in my opinion - color, texture, taste & aroma are all spot on & I ended up with just shy of 6 1/2 lbs. of dried venison
