What are you hunting/fishing?

ND Mike no time to waste. I have taken some in 80°-90° weather and it’s all hands on deck after the photo shoot.

ND Mike don’t get me wrong, I love taking a decent buck, especially with bow, but a good young doe that has been eating corn and soybeans regularly is hard to beat as far as taste.

[ND Mike]

GWG8541 thatbis for sure!

GWG8541 I feel like any deer is an accomplishment, a big buck or mature doe is an extra bonus.

I try to get my meat first, and if it’s a good buck, that’s a bonus. If the wife and I have a good year, then we won’t buy any beef except the occasional steak.

Ken1261 When I was young, we only had a one day season and around 10 hunters in our party. We were not too picky with what we shot. Party hunting is legal in the state so you could shoot more than one. We did a lot of deer drives to push them. I remember other people getting out of their vehicles when we started a drive, which didn’t bother me if they stayed out of our way.

bocephus I grew up running dogs in FL. So when someone managed to killed a deer and it was divided between everyone involved, you might end up with 5 pounds of meat. I didn’t know how to act when I started still hunting and had a whole deer to myself. How 15 years later and going to S. Carolina, I usually have a good amount of venison each year.

Today is the day I am heading to the piney woods of east Texas, cold front blew through so hopefully that will trigger some movement, it also rained a lot yesterday.

Sleep will come easy tonight

Hope you got that good sleep!

[ND Mike]

Jonathon oh I did, but the next two days I felt like a Mack truck ran me over.

HerbcoFood
Good luck!

The big deer that is in the area didn’t show his face, but this fella made the mistake of coming out. I will be turning this guy into pan sausage and chorizo. Thankfully it was cold enough to use nature’s walk in cooler so I didn’t have to quarter him up right away.

[bocephus]

HerbcoFood That is a start, now you know you have meat in the freezer, always a good thing.

[ND Mike]

HerbcoFood fresh meat is on the menu!

[calldoctoday]

HerbcoFood Looks like you got you one of those horse spikes. Great job bringing the bacon home! Congratulations!

[cdavis]

HerbcoFood congrats on a successful hunt and a tender buck.

I just ordered our favorite breakfast pan sausage blend, and going to try that brand’s chorizo blend. Hopefully, I will be able to get it done this weekend.

Just pulled in the driveway from 3 days of of deer hunting. This is gun week in Ohio. So opening day I tried to listen in on the Live cast, but it kept buffering and I couldn’t really take advantage of any deals. I was able to type in a shout out from the tree. This was the view while listening to Jonathon Austin and JohnG5 with a earbud in.

The big boys did not cooperate and I harvested a doe this morning.

One of my sons made it for 2 days, but never had a shot on one. A friend who is 81 next week, took a doe this morning about 1 minute before I shot this one. It’s always a blessing to put meat in the freezer and always a good day when hunting with friends and family.
