I did not see a "No Girls Allowed" sign so if figure I must be okay.
My info is:
I am a mid- 1960's vintage woman living out West (we have been here awhile....folks came in wagons in 1853)
I work in financial services spending my days riding herd on paperwork and computers. Was born on a farm/ranch started out doing that sort of work,
Went to college, worked with young children and ended up where I am.
Relevant training? Growing up with my dad.... who's ambition at age 5 was to be an Indian.
A bit of the Love of the West rubbed off on me. My son is an Eagle Scout and in O.A. learned a bit from there.
I hunt the High Desert/ Great Basin area mostly with some exposure to the Wallowas.
I am not a hard core survival person. I'd just like to add to my esoteric knowledge of the subject.
I got my second antelope last weekend. I have an acquaintance that was a little concerned that I was going to kill
one of his personal animal totems. So, I promised that along with thanking the antelope for his sacrifice. I would try very hard to use as much of the animal as possible.
I stumbled across this site yesterday as I was removing the tendons from the lower legs to make sinew and then attempting to loosen and remove the hooves to dry to give to my friend as a rattle.
(not coming off!!)
I cut some jerky strips and put them in fridge to cure in salt, pepper and brown sugar. I was hoping to use a friend's smoker but may have to just use the oven on low. Suggestions?
