From the stand

Good thing I took some 10 month old jerky with me this morning cause all this talk about venison really got me hungry. I'll try getting us back to hunting here. I decided not to hunt last night and went to church instead so I could hunt this morning. Weather sounded great, possible frost, sunny light and variable wind (usally that means steady off the lake east wind here) good opportunity to hunt my favorite spot. I got up early did my morning routine walked outside wind was blowing about 8 mph out of the west. So much for my favorite spot. I decided to try my stand in my east fence row. The air was cold and damp and the light and varible 8 mph wind was really sinking in. The sun hide behind the cloud bank refusing to shine its warmth on my little piece of earth. Finally it broke out and I tried to sook up as much as I could. I didn't get to sook up much before it started raining. Having seen nothing and approaching hypothermia I decided to go home. It's probably sunny 10 or 15 miles away from the lake but not here.

Like Clint said, it's all in how the deer is processed from the time it is shot. Aging the meat is a big help in how it tasted and how tender it is. The beef you buy in the grocery store has all been aged for at least a short time. The controlled decomposition is what tenderizes the meat and affects how it tastes. The deer that I have processed have been done like Clint does.
  I shot a doe at Chris Cade's farm 2 tears ago. It was shot with a rifle, dropped in its tracks and didn't hardly move after that. We took it back and gutted, skinned and cut up the meat but I didn't age it. It was some of the toughest deer meet I ever killed. Even ground it was tough...most of which was due to lack of aging. IMO

I dont have any pics,, I saw deer every day I hunted in Texas last week,, but they were too far for a shot,, the last morning I was getting really close ,, was ready to draw my bow,, and the doe went the wrong way(right way for her) and out of site,, the temps were hitting 90 in the afternoon so not much movement,, I really enjoyed being outside with my bow and made some great shots on some cactus with my blunts,,, :)

I whiffed on a buck last night. 10 yards broad side, looking away, front leg just ahead. Perfect you say? Sure was! And I sent a shaft right under his chest. I was too nonchalant and took the shot for granted. Oh well, maybe next time.

osage outlaw:
You will get him  next time Pearly
