Now if you guys want to confirm the donations we can put it to the winners

 

[Doug]

I think I might have mis-measured those spurs. They might have been eight inches.....and I think the beard was twenty.........

Thanks grnhawg for running this contest, and to the other guys for the prizes!

MY prize is in the freezer waiting for a suitable occasion. I am going to brine him in apple juice and seasonings, put him in the smoker for one pan of cherry smoke, then roast him with bacon slices across the breasts and a bit of the apple juice marinade in the pan. Yeehawwww!!!!

The best trophy that is Doug along the memories of the mornings listening to the birds start up and all the other stuff we run into including the skunk!
I did mine in tangerine and smoked hickory. Next one I'll smoke with cherry.
