Haven't seen that since I was a kid. I can smell the sausage already!

Looks good Barry, I imagine you still have that meat saw I lent you right? Sausage looks good too.

I knew I shoulda sharpened it.

can anybody here tell me how you sharpen a hog scraper?

When we were kids we used to help Friends butcher. They would do 3 in one day & that was a lot of work. They didn't have a backhoe to dunk em with either. Just come alongs & a tall tree.

Pat it looks different now.

Al, I don't know about you but I ain't found a recipe for good moose head soup yet

John I still have the saw but after Tevis got about done removing the plate from the moose I now need a new blade

I've never done the whole process myself, just raised them, put them down, and hauld em off to a butcher. One time we loaded one on the back of the truck first then wacked em, he smashed the tailgate and ended up falling off thrashing and bruised up the meat pretty good. ( hold my beer and watch this type of deal )
Then we learnt and ended up using a machine to let em bleed n load um

Good deal Barry, looks mighty tasty !!
