I second that motion! I'm a big fan.

I did try a recipe like this and it turned out quite nicely. The tendons, marrow and tough stuff sort of melts during the long cook. It beats trying to salvage the useable meat amongst the silver skin and tendons.
Yeah you and me both! Interesting.
Cool thread. Not a regular hunter, but I've been out a few times and appreciate the experience tremendously. As with fishing, it's the places it takes us and the things we see as a result that make it especially great for me. A lot of these pics make that point....
Love the hunts with kids. Really teaches young ones the value of wildlife, well beyond the food it can provide....

I remember 18 degrees, eastern Montana, my Lab, Grits, questioning my sanity. Incredible Lab, she was.

yeah, I never enjoyed trying to break the front shanks down on a deer or elk tbh. It’s so much nicer to freeze them bone in and then break the saw. It’s not super fun or easy to make those cuts (which is why I want a portable band saw now) but it does feel like you’re using much more of that shank.
Yeah, to get the bone in for Osso Bucho you need the saw.
Thread drift: this Osso Bucho talk has my mouth watering. I'm not sure that Sabai Thai (803 W 8th, Port Angeles) serves Osso Bucho but I did get veal shanks there once that were so tender and so delicious.
Do any of you Osso Bucho chefs use marrow spoons to get that yummy deliciousness?

I don’t have a fancy spoon, so we’ve used a butter knife to kind of dig it out. Honestly, I’ve only done it twice now, but the reviews from the wife and kid have been raving.

You meant -18 degrees, right?

No, I have it right. I’ve lived in sub zero temps a couple times in my life. This hunting trip was tucked in just before winter hit Montana. I’ve hunted ducks on spring creeks and ice fished in sub zero. There are more moderate and sane locations for my old ass. BTW, being stationed at an Air Force base in Illinois in December after a year in Vietnam was the roughest winter I’ve faced. Never again.

Regarding venison shanks -
The combination of an InstantPot (or regular pressure cooker), venison shanks (or any game shank, for that matter), some aromatics, a bit of chicken or beef stock as a primer, and about 90 minutes of your time is a match made in heaven.
I used to leave everything below the 2nd joint for the bears, now I keep everything but the hooves.

A great day, with a great dog, in a great blind, great partners, with lots of great birds. (Shooting drakes only…all but one!)

Finest sausage my wife, a couple of select neighbors, and I have ever eaten. I mean this stuff was excellent!

Last day of deer hunting for me. Couldn’t seem to summon up a legal buck, wasn’t for lack of trying
todays pics, saw lots of deer just not the right one.
