Thanks to Lokidog and some good news!!!!
« on: December 19, 2012, 10:40:32 AM »
A little back story first....

I went on vacation for a week at the beginning of December, and while I was away, my freezer went out.  I came home to a trail of bloody slime oozing out all over my garage floor.   :bash:  :puke:  The damage tally:

1/4 a beef we had just bought, hadn't even had any yet.
2 halibut.
15 or so ling cod.
26 trout, the smallest of which was 13 inches.
6 tuna.
roughly 1/4 a pig, ribs and shoulders and butt.
4 salmon.
3 smoked salmon.
9 smoked trout.
In addition I still hadn't tagged out for archery deer.

 Fortunately, Lokidog (whom I had only met once before) extended an invitation to me to hunt on some island property he has access to and get at least something in the freezer and fill my tag.  He picked me up in Anacortes in his boat, brought me into his home, fed me from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon, set up a tree stand in advance and baited the area to increase my chances, helped me gut/skin/quarter/process my doe, and even went so far as to give me some game meat he had from his own freezer to help me restock!!! 

Needless to say, I am very grateful for Lokidog's generosity and willingness to help out someone he barely knows!  I owe ya one big time!!!  With all the bad news going around lately, this show of generosity really helped me to keep things in perspective!

Thanks everyone.   :hello:  I try to buy friends when I can.   :chuckle:  Fish, please email me one of your photos.  Hopefully it didn't take you too long to finish that hind quarter and clean up the trimmings.

I'll get them on the way as soon as I get home!  The last quarter went pretty quickly, like you said, just cut along the dotted line...  April and a fillet knife made quick work of the trimmings too.  Thanks again!!!

I see a lot of junk tossed around on here at each other, but there are some really great people here also I have been lucky enough to meet some and Lokidog just proved it again. Great job!
