We caught 17 the first night which is better than I thought we’d do. The second check (this morning) produced 12 more rats. I had to work so Vince went up on his own to check them and moved some of the traps. I told him to be careful on that rotten ice alone and stick close to shore. We saw tracks in the snow the first morning where a duck hunter walked out 20 feet past where Vince broke through to his waist. That was either one lucky duck hunter or a real skinny one. Vince took along his dog and said he really had a good time. Vince is a fast learner when it comes to this blood & guts game. You only have to show him once how to spot a good location and how to make the set. I’ve never seen anyone take to skinning critters and putting them up faster than him, he’s a natural at it. It sure helps to have someone to show you how. A guy can really spend a lot of time trying to figure all this out on his own. I hope we get 11 tomorrow to make it an even 40 rats. The ice is starting to thaw with the latest warm spell so tomorrow will be it. Vince is going to get a trooper style hat made out of the best pelts. Oh, and now Vince said he’s always wanted a skunk hat! I guess I’ll start looking for a skunk den.

Here's a couple of recipes I've tried myself, and I had to use a large stick to keep interlopers away from the Dutch......

PLAIN BUFFALO STEW
2 Lb. Cubed Buffalo Meat
1 Onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
3 Medium Potatoes, peeled and sliced (2-3 cups)
2 Tablespoon Cooking Oil
6 Carrots, peeled and sliced
2 Cups Mixed Vegetables (Celery, Squash, Zuccini, etc)

From the Original Cowboy Cookbook, by 'Wild Wes' Medley, Published by Original Western Publications, Cairo, NE 68824, Copyright 1989

RANCHLAND DEER POT ROAST
1/2 Cup Flour
1 Venison Roast - 2 inchest thick
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1/4 Cup chopped Celery
1 Carrot, chopped
2 Tablespoons chopped Onion
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
1 Cup boiling Water
1 Cup Red Wine (it cooks off, so not to worry) <GGG>

Pound flour into meat. In a large skillet, brown meat in oil. Add vegetables, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup each of wine and water. Simmer COVERED for 1 hour. Add remaining liquids and simmer until tender.


SOURDOUGH BREAD

To be done properly, you have to make a 'starter', then when that is ready, use it to bake your bread or biscuits with.....

SOURDOUGH STARTER
1 quart lukewarm Water
1 pkg. dry Yeast
2 Teaspoon Sugar
4 cup All-Pupose Flour

Put water in crock; add yeast and sugar to soften. Stir in flour. Cover with a clean cloth. Let rise until mixture is light and slightly aged, about 2 days. Mixture will thin as it stands; add flour as needed. As you use the sourdough from the crock, replace it with equal amounts of flour and water to keep a full batch of 'starter' going.

BLUE RIBBON SOURDOUGH BREAD
(Makes 2 large loaves)
2 cups Sourdough Starter
2 cups lukewarm Water (potato, rice or macoroni water if possible)
1/3 to 1/2 cup Sugar
1 tablespoon Salt
3 tablespoons Salad Oil or Butter (Butter is best)
1 Pkg Yeast
7 to 9 cups Flour

Begin the night before by mixing the 'starter' with 2 cups each of flour and water. Mix well, cover and let sit in a warm place overnight. This is the new 'starter' you use for the recipe.

In the morning take 2 cups from the mixture and pour the remaining sourdough into your 'starter' crock and refrigerate.

Mix the starter with the water, sugar, salt and oil. Add yeast. Add flour to make a medium soft but not sticky dough. Knead well, until smooth and elastic (6-8 minutes).

Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of dough. Cover, let double in size (about 1 hour) in a warm place.

Punch down and let rise again (this 2nd rise can be skipped to save time). Punch down, knead it lightly and cut into 2 equal pieces.

To bake in a 12 inch Dutch, form each piece into a round loaf, place in a lightly greased oven, slice the top several times and allow to raise again.

Pre-heat the lid and bake with heat from top and bottom for 15-20 minutes, remove half of bottom heat and continue baking 20-30 minutes or until browned and done. Cool on wire rack.  ENJOY.

Good luck with your project, and let us know how it comes out.      Barney
