Good-tasting venison begins with careful preparation By JOEL WILSON For the Daily Times GLASGOW — Water levels at Barren Reservoir continue to drop rapidly but apparently has not affected the crappie fishing which continues to be hot.
Tommy Wray and Perry Watson who wore them out the week before, kept a hot hand this week, boating over a dozen slabs better than a pound each in the area around the Narrows according to fishing reporter Todd Logsdon. Todd and Bill got in on the action Monday too, catching a good string up the river. Todd also reported talking to a couple of Cincinnati bass fishermen who had struck out at Cumberland but came to Barren and had a great day, catching several largemouth in the three and four pound range. They said they had caught and released over 30 fish. While fishing is still hot, many are concentrating on deer season and in that regard, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has a reminder to report your kills. Hunters this season have already have reported taking nearly 70,000 white-tailed deer – with most of the harvest occurring during the first week of Kentucky’s 2009 firearms deer hunting season. Kentucky’s firearms deer season, which opened statewide Nov. 14, ends Monday, Nov. 23, in Zones 3 and 4, and closes Sunday, Nov. 29, in Zones 1 and 2. Conservation officers with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources are reminding all successful deer hunters to write down their harvest information on a hunter harvest log as soon as the animal is recovered and before it is moved. Blank spaces are provided on the back of department-issued hunting licenses for hunter log information. License exempt persons, such as those hunting on their own land or those possessing only a license authorization number, may create their own harvest log by simply writing on a piece of paper their name and address, date, species and gender of animal taken, and county of kill. All harvested deer must also be Telechecked through the toll-free, automated phone-in system by midnight on the day the animal is recovered. Deer and elk must be Telechecked before removing the hide or head, and also prior to being transported out of Kentucky. Also this week, Hayley Lynch, outdoor writer for KDFWR, talks about getting the most out of your deer harvest. Taking your first deer is an exciting achievement. Your heart pounds as you watch the deer in your sights. You try hard to keep your hands still while you squeeze the trigger. After the shot, adrenaline makes you short of breath. You feel relief when you later approach the clean-shot deer on the ground. What happens next, however, can be overwhelming. A good-sized adult deer can yield 60 or 70 pounds of meat, and a new hunter may have no idea what to do with it.
