I made a venison roast tonight since the wife had to work today. Roasted rutabaga and carrots on the side. I'm down to two roasts, a few blocks of scrapple and maybe eight-nine pounds of sausage from the three deer I killed last season. I better quit screwing around and get one for the freezer. Maybe tomorrow...
Eh...wot?

Looks like a good day to hunt. Fresh snow, decent temps. Good luck to all and stay safe out there. X 2 I was very happy to see a a coating of snow on the ground, heading out in a little bit.

Snow?? I'm coming over there guys.
The phrase deer sausage caught my eye. I bought son Con Yeager spices to try, Maybe we can get a sausage/smoker/snack stick topic going after the harvest.
Good luck everyone.

After an extra nap while a others got in position before daylight, I headed out about 7:00am a little after daylight to push some deer around for others. By 7:30 am my second shot landed close to its mark and was good enough to drop this guy in his tracks. 3A opening morning kill. Way to go Jason (southernduke84)! A few more of the same buck.

Can you believe no deer showed it's face today? I mean look at this perfect set up. In front of my stand: The shooting lane to the right: I sat from dark until after lunch then still-hunted around the swamp until dark. I saw five deer, no shots were offered.
Eh...wot?

I couldn't take the lack of hunters in the woods and finally got up and went stirred things up a bit. I was literally kicking the deer in their rear ends they were bedded so tight.
Managed to put a 5 point in front of my buddies son, which his dad let go by him, and he nailed it with one shot. 13 years old and got his first deer.
My year is basically made when I'm able to do something like that.
Passing on the tradition!
Keep your boots dry and your powder too.
I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.
Best Regards,
JT

Didn’t see a deer today but was kind of enjoying the scenery, we couldn’t make to where we wanted to go this morning so we went to another DMAP area across the mountain. Finally made it up here at the shanty later on after we put about a dozen cement blocks in the back of the truck. Decided just to stay overnight here so I wouldn’t have to make that climb in the morning. Southern duke nice buck!!

He was seen a lot by many. I'm sure he has wandered by your place even at times.
