GlennM:
Congrats on the doe.  We are well into rifle season in Western New York.  First snow happened last night in the southern part of our area.  More coming tonight and it should make for a great morning hunt.  I took a doe with the bow and a 6pts with the rifle.  Davey did get out much with the but took a doe with the rifle.  I have off next week for a few days and plan to fill some doe tags.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy that beautiful family.

 Thanks,Good to hear from you Glenn, really miss the times we spent in December hunt together, hope to do it again someday. Tell Davy and chuck I said ha, do get to see Davy and sometimes Chuck in the spring and hope maybe someday you can make it back. I had a very good weekend, done quite a bit of hunting and had some close calls but no shots taken,who know maybe this week. :) Did get my deer processed and the hide in the rack, got 1 of the 2 in the rack scrapped and ready for brain tanning. Had 2 more deer gifted to me so skinned them and got them on ice, plan on working them up this week that should put me with my gold of 100 lbs of ground for brat making along with lots of steaks and roast.I love processing deer almost as much as I love hunting, almost  ;) :) :)

Pappy:
Got about 22 lbs of ground and lots of steaks, about 40 lbs of meat in all, I bone and clean them pretty good but never can understand when some one tells me they get 70/80 lbs of meat out of a deer, even a really big deer I never get over 40/45 lbs  ??? :-\  Shawn working on one of his hides and Annie has learned to stay close to the fleshing pole. :) :)

Pappy:
My hide fleshed and ready to rack,I am setting up a new hide smoker made from an old wood stove I use to use in my tent, I think it will make it much easier to control and add more punk wood when needed. Then supper, moose venison soup, moose from Rocky and taters from Dave, like I have said before them boys take care of me very well.  :) :)

Pappy:
My girls, just resting by the fire. :) I hide scrapped and ready to take off the rack. Then I get to go on a pretty long tracking mission, a very good friend of mine hit a spike a little far back, He hasn't killed many deer with a bow so he call me in to help. It went well and found the deer, it went about 400 yards with little blood but just enough to give up where he had hide to pass on. Tommy was very happy to say the least and so was I for him.  :) :) persistence's pays off most of the time. ;)
