Meat Bees: Killer Carnivores from Planet Earth
Carnivorous bees are the worst. They’re the lunchroom bullies of the animal kingdom. You know this already if you’ve ever had one steal your bologna on sourdough sandwich from Grandma’s picnic table... I can only imagine the dance that little tiger striped wasp did back at the lair for all his wicked little voyeurist friends. With a wiggle and a waggle, and a few twerky turnabouts the entire hive knew they need only head Northeast a few hundred yards and up sixty feet in elevation to find the deliciously, freshly skinned chest cavity of a 6.5yr old whitetail doe! Meat Pie for breakfast everyone!

The Effects of Stress on Venison Quality Prior to and During Harvest: What is ‘Ultimate pH’ (pHu) and Myoglobin in Meat Anyway
By now a couple things should be pretty clear: 1.) The pressures of hunting can cause both acute and chronic stress in animals and will depend on the context of both the animal and the season/particular hunt that results in the harvest; 2.) The influence of long-term environmental stress on deer during the hunting season and the influence of short-term stress caused by the actual harvesting of the animal, those forces work in opposite directions. Seasonal, long-term chronic stress lowers ultimate pH of the meat while the act of harvesting the animal - the short-term acute stress of being culled - increases its ultimate pH...

How to Hang, Skin, and Quarter a Deer
Yes, the old time black and white photos predominantly show deer strung across buck poles, noses to the sky. What was also true back in those days was everyone wore matching red flannel wool to deer camp and walked uphill in the snow both to and from school.
Luckily for us those days are long gone. We get to wear badass camo. We get to use state of the art bows and rifles. And yes, we get to use fancy new Deer skinning hangers that double as extra large cutting boards to skin and quarter, then process the wild game
