    Hi all, Do you ? Having been brought up in a rural environment, you know on a farm, it is a natural thing to do, that we have continued to do even after having become urbanised. Yes, I know hindu's don't eat meat. well I'm not a Hidu am I? Anyhow stop distracting me from my post. Between every 4 to 5 weeks, a group of my friends and myself go out and do our Home kills, This week we are going to get some venison. (I don't want any jokes from Brazilians about this) Anyhow we'll take off at about 6 inthe morning to the farm and kill our beast, I've always had my own knives and kit etc and whilst it takes a bit to maintain them, It is well worth the effort. Often we have arguements about who is going to get the best cuts, and what needs to go for mince etc. Burying the offal has got to be the hardest task, so it always pays to make your kill on a soft bit of ground to save carting it a great distance. If we are equipped we use a tractors front end loader to hold up the beast. Remember first rule with a sharp knife is if you drop it "Don't try to catch it", a lot of cut hands come through people thinking they can catch a falling sharp knife. We generally kill steers, sheep and pigs, (No I'm not Islamic or Jewish). I've never killed a goat John, but I bet its similar to a sheep. Oh I lied we once put a goat on a spit! The whole process takes less than an hour with a few early morning beers. So you might well ask why do people kill there own meat, The answers are many, economy, you get the best cuts, you know your beast is healthy, and you get the sattisfied feeling of providing for your family and friends. I imagine many city folk don't understand this but I feel nauseous when I enter a supermarket and see tiny plastified cuts of meat on display. Ughh. Oh how many people opened this thread thinking I was referencing masterbation? Regardz Colin J Davies colin@vmtu.com

      Given the threads within recent months, I was expecting a discussion on masturbation. :rolleyes: I kill my own meat, but not in the sense you do. I go pheasant and duck hunting when they're in season. After each hunt, we pluck the birds and put them in the freezer. Then, at the end of duck season, we take all of the meat down to the local Chinese restaurant and have a huge bird feed for our family. Instead of chicken chow mein, you have duck chow main. Instead of sweet and sour chicken, you have sweet and sour pheasant. Mmmmm... *That* is one of the greatest nights of the year. :) Jon Sagara "After all is said and done, usually more is said than done." -- Unknown

          While I could only bring myself to kill a beast myself during a time of crisis I do admit that freshly slaughtered (terrible word that don't you think?) meat is in a different taste league to the supermarket tiny plastified cuts of meat. My favourite has to be lamb on the spit. Slow grilled for a couple of hours in the good African sunlight, liberally washed down with beer every half hour or so and eaten on the banks of a river. Nothing beats that :) I remember my "uncle" once had me hold a chicken while he killed the poor thing. While the blood was no fun the sight of a headless chicken running around for a few minutes was damned funny, sick funny but funny. Rabbit is also a nice meat fresh off the braai (barbie, bbq). Funnily enough friends overseas all reckon that because I live in Africa I must have killed a few buck at the very least with my trusty spear or bow and arrow. One even wondered if I had wrestled a crocodile to death since she saw some dude doing it on the discover channel. Well I don't even own a spear, never mind a bow and arrow. I eat TV dinners and microwave ready popcorn :) Though good home cooked food fresh from the veld is still the best.

Somebody had to say it... :rolleyes: Killing your own meat sounds way more extreme than beating your own meat though.

                Hey Colin Hindus do eat meat. Even though I am an atheist, legally I am of Hindu origin. My parents are Hindus too. We eat all kinds of meat - chicken, beef, mutton, pork, fish, crab. I think North Indian hindus may be vegetarians. Not sure though. Perhaps only people of certain hindu-sub-sects. :-) Nish

                  the winner gets a goody bag Or a first class ticket to the loony bin :-D Well I based my analysis of the weirdest mind in CP on the fact that Colin interrupts himself in posts. He also manages to distract himself during a post. He also talks about butchering live animals (including the fact that he has his own skinning knife set!) on a developers site, that is pretty OT. :) It is funny stuff :) To Colin: Colin I enjoy your posts, don't stop posting in your odd way. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

                        > The whole process takes less than an hour with a few early morning beers. I need to know why you feel that it's necessary to get an animal drunk before your kill it. I have never killed an animal just to eat it, but I don't doubt that I could if I had to. Also, putting meat on a fire before eating it is an interesting concept.

                          Members of my family were still slaughering their own livestock when I was a child. I've watched, but never participated. (Of course, when I was a child, we were taking down Mammoths with sharp sticks :) ) Nowadays, I have a side of beef done up twice a year or so. I rarely buy meat in a grocery store. I'm afraid I'm not much good at cleaning an animal past the fish, pheasant, or rabbit level. I think thats why rabbit hunting is about the only kind of hunting I actually enjoy. Cleaning big game is a real pain, especially when you're drunk X| "But, daddy, that was back in the hippie ages..." My twelve year old son - winning the argument.

                              the winner gets a goody bag Or a first class ticket to the loony bin :-D Well I based my analysis of the weirdest mind in CP on the fact that Colin interrupts himself in posts. He also manages to distract himself during a post. He also talks about butchering live animals (including the fact that he has his own skinning knife set!) on a developers site, that is pretty OT. :) It is funny stuff :) To Colin: Colin I enjoy your posts, don't stop posting in your odd way. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

                                While I could only bring myself to kill a beast myself during a time of crisis I do admit that freshly slaughtered (terrible word that don't you think?) meat is in a different taste league to the supermarket tiny plastified cuts of meat. My favourite has to be lamb on the spit. Slow grilled for a couple of hours in the good African sunlight, liberally washed down with beer every half hour or so and eaten on the banks of a river. Nothing beats that :) I remember my "uncle" once had me hold a chicken while he killed the poor thing. While the blood was no fun the sight of a headless chicken running around for a few minutes was damned funny, sick funny but funny. Rabbit is also a nice meat fresh off the braai (barbie, bbq). Funnily enough friends overseas all reckon that because I live in Africa I must have killed a few buck at the very least with my trusty spear or bow and arrow. One even wondered if I had wrestled a crocodile to death since she saw some dude doing it on the discover channel. Well I don't even own a spear, never mind a bow and arrow. I eat TV dinners and microwave ready popcorn :) Though good home cooked food fresh from the veld is still the best.

While the blood was no fun the sight of a headless chicken running around for a few minutes was damned funny, sick funny but funny. There is a cartoonist in Australia called Michael Leunig who did an excellent cartoon of such a situtation. Just a look of absolute horror of a little kid standing next to his father (?) who is holding an axe and the chicken is running and there is blood everwhere... Wish I could find a link to it...

                                  Hi all, Do you ? Having been brought up in a rural environment, you know on a farm, it is a natural thing to do, that we have continued to do even after having become urbanised. Yes, I know hindu's don't eat meat. well I'm not a Hidu am I? Anyhow stop distracting me from my post. Between every 4 to 5 weeks, a group of my friends and myself go out and do our Home kills, This week we are going to get some venison. (I don't want any jokes from Brazilians about this) Anyhow we'll take off at about 6 inthe morning to the farm and kill our beast, I've always had my own knives and kit etc and whilst it takes a bit to maintain them, It is well worth the effort. Often we have arguements about who is going to get the best cuts, and what needs to go for mince etc. Burying the offal has got to be the hardest task, so it always pays to make your kill on a soft bit of ground to save carting it a great distance. If we are equipped we use a tractors front end loader to hold up the beast. Remember first rule with a sharp knife is if you drop it "Don't try to catch it", a lot of cut hands come through people thinking they can catch a falling sharp knife. We generally kill steers, sheep and pigs, (No I'm not Islamic or Jewish). I've never killed a goat John, but I bet its similar to a sheep. Oh I lied we once put a goat on a spit! The whole process takes less than an hour with a few early morning beers. So you might well ask why do people kill there own meat, The answers are many, economy, you get the best cuts, you know your beast is healthy, and you get the sattisfied feeling of providing for your family and friends. I imagine many city folk don't understand this but I feel nauseous when I enter a supermarket and see tiny plastified cuts of meat on display. Ughh. Oh how many people opened this thread thinking I was referencing masterbation? Regardz Colin J Davies colin@vmtu.com
