Welcome! Yes, I'm still on rokslide, hanging around from time to time. I've been fortunate to have lots of good years on the east coast, although my days of using my fire escape to age meat might be numbered...
@maine buy Hank Shaw's Buck, Buck, Moose and read Macintosh's post a few times!
Edit: forgot to mention, I poached up two whitetail bucknuts tonight. I will never leave these on the ground again. Superb fare, if a little tricky to cook.
