The trailer or the wood?
I think I'd use my cordless 1/2" impact gun instead!
So Steve, you got a deer??? Spill the beans, this is a derail thread!
I saw nothing on Sat, but 4 on Sun, 3 doe and a Buck. Buck came 40 yds from me and never saw me, but only had 8" spikes and needs 3 pt/side to shoot ... ARRRHHHHH!!!
Also, I had let Matt use my Doe permit. He did not get anything last year, I already have a deer this year, and his daughter was with him, so it was the right thing to do. But, frustrating not being able to take one!
I hope no-one minds if I put this up here, even though I know this is not what this thread is about.
I do the afternoon shift at work on a Wednesday so there's an opportunity for a bit of me-time in the morning. So I sez to Cowgirl, "You can take my car to work today, I need the Subaru". She says "What for?".
"No reason..."
Heh, heh. Then I was almost instantly regretting it as Cowgirl slams her foot to the floor and unleashes 380 odd cubic inches of V8 vengeance down the street in my pride and joy.
I've been keeping an eye on the trunk of what I regard as 'my' manna gum and no-one has touched it since I last had a crack about a month ago.
There was a bit of mucking around with a double branch stub, taking chunks out of that.
Cowgirl has been digging in the noodles from the weekends bluegum noodling in her developing orchard, she should come down with a few garbage bags this arvo.
I've been considering @KiwiBro 's advice - that I should kill off all the scroungers taking all the smaller material, forcing me to take the big stuff. I've decided that this is tough but fair. It's a lot of work and fuel to get this stuff done.
More to come...

Noodle, noodle
A few bits in the back because some traditions need to be honoured.
Loaded up
There could be about 20 pounds of noodles there, as well as another few cubes of wood left in the trunk.
It was a great morning's cutting!

Would have been an even better morning if that been spruce [emoji41]
determination!
Oh and tell cowgirl to let the oil temp come to running temps before using the power, or you won't have so much of it for very long!

Ya...he should box some of that up and send it to me. That stuff works great for starting fires.
No this was the deer I got with the truck in October. The last of the steaks are sitting in stew in the fridge and I made the "venetta" roast tonight in the pressure cooker. Used two cans of beer as the liquid and it was super tender. Have to admit, the pressure cooker actually does a better job than the crock pot!
Now I just have 15 lbs of burger left to eat. May make a bunch of chili next week and do it half and half with beef or pork.

Butchered the bear last night and the dear tonight. Man you guys been busy on here. I forget who asked, but yes that's my older daughter. She and the little one love the outdoors. Shooting, Fishing, ATV, anything with me outside. I'm a very vary lucky guy, my kids are the best thing that ever happened to me.

My kids devour venison as long as the older ones don't know what it is.
My older daughter (second youngest overall) helped me do the burger and said the raw meat smell didn't bother her at all.

I always said I wasn't having kids. Now I don't know what I'd do without them.
