hey there! cool! yeah it's an intriguing series - i loved it and will reference it for years to come, i'm sure. i wont make a post per say about how the deer came out, but i can tell ya now! it was a bit undercooked for our liking so we cooked it up a bit more in the cast iron. the flavor, however, was phenomenal! i will try this method again and perhaps put more hardwood in the fire to start to get some stronger coals. i'm excited to see what i use buckskin for as well. i have a guy not too far from me that has about 7 hides and i've put word out to hunters - and hopefully we'll get some deer this year. i may make a tunic, shorts, a breech cloth for ini -- so many possibilities. hope you're well and will have to stop by to see how your addition is doing!
