Thread: Kaipara Hunting and Fishing Camp - Success!!!!!!!!

Big thanks to mucko, Rushy and everyone else on this forum for the help you've all given me. Its been great having that advice and teaching and I think that deer would have taken me a lot longer to get if it weren't for all the help. Thanks again, I'm stoked.

I think I will do the camp next year too and I'll give you a buzz if they're short on helpers, cheers guys.

Venison tasted pretty damn good tonight at the party. The rest of the family seemed to like it too. I think I may not have hung it long enough though, as it could have been a little bit more tender. It was a really hot day, I shot it at 5.30am and butchered it at 1.30pm, is that a bit short for a deer that size on a hot day? I tried to make sure I didn't over cook it, but I think some pieces I could have taken off the BBQ a little earlier - maybe that was it. But still very tasty. Look forward to making a nice casserole and I think I might try my hand at making some jerky too. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
