deer fat

[tomc]

this year, while cleaning up after butchering deer,i was looking outside where we threw out some fat,and the birds were going nuts on it.i took a couple of store bought suet cake packages,for molds,i took the deer fat and added peanut butter,and put it in the microwave for 2 min.(i recomend that you dont do this,my wife wasn't happy about the smell,the next time i did it outside on the side burner of the grill)when it melted added birdseed,mixed it up,and poured it into the suet molds,and set it outside to harden.for compairason i put out 1 store bought,and 1 homemade.i want througe 2 of my homemade ones before the store bought ones were gone.so i made more,i placed waxed paper between them and put it in freezer bag and keep them in the freezer

Your right about the fresh fat going fast. When I trim the fat off of any meat the wifes going to cook, I just put it in the cage and its gone in a day. Store bought is still in there. Wish I had seen Cindys face when you told her what you where doing.LOL [shocked][crazy]
