Thread: Getting back to living off the land.....

Wild goat liver (from the goat in the post above that I shot on Monday) and puha on fried potatoes... The liver seasoned with thyme, salt, pepper, garlic, sumac and a little Worcestershire sauce

Wow, that's impressive skinning alright, how long from when it was killed to skinning?

@RUMPY About 24 hours. Was 5C overnight outside

If you punch off skin and go outside front legs to start you SHOULD be able to keep said same pink bit on carcase...and shepherd who can't gets given arseholes about it,even if it's just a dog tucker ram. It's skill and pride.that is a very tidy skinning job you have done.

Slow cooked wild goat leg pieces in the crockpot. Seasoned with lemon pepper, thyme, salt and garlic... Browned in the frying pan before being slow cooked til tender; probably about 3 hours

Greetings @bumblefoot,
Good to see you still cooking up a storm.
Regards Grandpamac.

@grandpamac i'm still about. I've just been a bit AWOL after starting the new job....

I've been MIA recently... I chucked the freelance writing gig in after 18 year. No money in it anymore; so back to butchery again... I've been getting out a bit; hunting for meat and skins (goats). I'm going to get back into tanning skins for clients again (did it professionally for about 10 years back in the day). I'm also going to push my youtube channel hard and do a lot of goat recipes and also rural interviews with interesting folk etc.

Here's the result of a quick hunt yesterday, Two lovely fat goats. They are usually fat in this area. But I'm now picking them for skin colour and succulence!









It's hard to believe that this is a goat shoulder! An amazing amount of fat!

yeah me too

@Coote I'm using the Leder tan at the moment, but am trying out a new tan next week. I've done brain, bark tanning. But the problem with doing those techniques on client's hides is that they're not always 100% reliable. And I can't risk that with a client's prized skin. I professionally tanned for around 10 years and used Leidreiters (now Leders which is a chrome tan too) for floor skins and Lutan F for the skins for mounting.

Thanks Bumblefoot. Good info, and an interesting thread. Best wishes from Nelson.
