Wow, congrats to all the hunters mentioned above. This post started during the HRF apocalypse so I missed it. Glad to get caught up and see these nice bucks. Can’t wait to get to vaquero’s story in another post. :D

My season was a bust. Saw no deer at all. Did watch a few squirrels with the zoomies, a Blue Heron and some geese.

3 days later a few does and a large buck decided to stop by. Last night at 4am had two does in my yard. They are figuring out this whole deer season dates.

There is always next year. The solitude and break from work was a reward in itself, so no complaints.

Nothing special, just meat for the freezer. I like the tenderloin and sirloin for steaks, everything else is run through the LEM commercial grinder and is turned into garlic/black pepper venison jerky. It's actually more like a Slim Jim meat stick.

Next to the last day of regular firearms season today. Black powder/muzzleloader starts 12/8 and should be some fun times for me and my son.

This.

Plus this.

Equals this. Some tender venison for the freezer. I'm the camera guy, and there wasn't anyone around for taking my photo.
The deer already has the lower legs cut off with big shears, on the floor at the deer processor.

Nice going there cee Kamp, and with the revolver. ;)
I had the SBH out this evening, and had a chance on a decent little 6 point at around 30 yds., but let it walk.
I wanted to shoot him, but talked myself out of it.
Maybe the grandson will kill it, he'll be here tomorrow and all next weekend.
