The rawhide all trimmed and ready to start tillering. Started on my old pot Chris gifted me, it was in bad shape but with a little TLC it will be nice. Helped Shawn a bit rack another hide, he don't need much help, he's a fast learner,and of course shot the bull a lot with my buddies.  ;) :)

Always got arrows to work on, I had a couple that was broken at the points , thanks to Jim Davis's arrows fix they are a breeze to repair, if you haven't try these you should.  :)

The girls just laid back out of the rain watching the show. :) The pot is looking good, about 1 more session and it should be ready to use. While we were loading Shan's deer last week I mentioned to him glad their is 2 of us because over the last few years I struggle to load one by myself, just getting old and weak I guess :-\ anyway when I get home after they leave this showed up fed X. Thanks Shane, much appreciated !!! I put it together Saturday evening and think it will make my life much easier, it goes in the trailer hitch on my Kubota. Very cool, guess it is good to have friends looking after you. :) That's it for now, hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good. :) :)

I have been using one of those deer hoists for the 15 years, I have an F250 and had to raise every deer I shot completely off the ground to get in the truck bed because it was so high, I strained my back every time.

I bought one of those hoists from the Sportman's Guide for $89.95, it was the best money I ever spent. I keep it in my truck during all of deer season, especially during the rut. When I see a deer get hit or know for sure one on the side of the road is a fresh kill because it wasn't there when I went by an hour ago, I back up to it, load it on my truck with the hoist and take it home with me. I hate to see good deer meat go to waste, I have picked up 3 road kills with my hoist so far.

Rawhide came out nice! I always wondered about not wrapping it  :OK. Thanks Pappy -  (=) Bob.

Ya Eric I got it all finished up today and can’t wait to try it out, just need to kill a deer now.😊 Bob I have done the last few this way, just like I do snake skins, takes a little patience but comes out much better for me with no air bubbles or lines where the wrap goes. Pappy

Headed to the cabin this morning for a few days, plan on a little hunting and finish up a couple of projects in the shop, I think the rain will be gone by mid day and the weather is taking a cooler turn so should be a good weekend. We have a club meeting Saturday at noon and several things to talk about for the up coming spring, it will be good to see some of the guys I don't see much this time of year. Also have the Boy Scouts coming tomorrow through Sunday morning, they will be camping and doing their thing and it is always a pleasure having them down. :) Shaping up to be a fun time. Hope yall have a good one also. Life is Good.  :) :)

Annie still loving deer season at the farm, Shawn killed a nice 8 point with a 50 smoke pole, more brat meat and meat for the freezer. Put some tip over lay on my Osage, deer antler.

The Scouts showed up Friday evening, they got camp set up in a hurry, I had them a wood pile already and didn't take them long to get a good fire going, pretty chilly Friday night.  :)
