Pappy:
Never seen the difference in a buck in rut or doe, as others I process my own meat and take real care to keep it clean and clean up very good when I cut it or grind it up, don't get quite as much meat but it's all prime stuff when I am done. This was 3 deer, minus the shoulders and inner loin and 2 back straps, about 80 to 90 lbs. but all prime meat. Screwed up a shot on one Saturday morning, hit high in the back, I am sure it will be fine, maybe just sore and a little more careful :) That was the only time I went out. Beautiful morning , just a little windy. :)

Yes I always age the meat hanging a few days.Gotta watch too warm of weather though.
Man at least you've gotten a shot Pearly.I always have to go to a different spot when I do that.It seems to upset the area or something.You should get another shot.
Ohhh boy now we're showing our meat.Looks good Pappy.You wrap it up though right?I 've had a food saver a while but if I eat it fast enough I usually only used regular butcher paper.
Pateince,patience,patience with this hunting.I keep thinking about the hide to brain tan too along with the meat.....lol.I'm thinking first anything coming by it gets stuck.The weather is gonna get a bit colder this weekend.Hope it just don't turn over to full blown winter.Looking at last years calendar things temp wise are about like last year.So far I could of just shot a few possum that's all.....lol.

Pearl,, that 10 yard shot is a killer,, I try to practice it alot,, and tell my self to slow down when I get one,, to easy just to throw up and shoot,, been there done than more times than I would like to admit,, :)
PEARL DRUMS:
Its kinda' like what George says about building bows, if you aint missin you aint huntin! I will say I don't miss many, especially chip shots. But I did. I was more than happy when I seen how far my bow drove the arrow into the ground, at least 10-12" worth. Good dirt penetration :) To cap off my night, I dropped another arrow and dulled it. So I will have some sharpening to do tonite. Ah the joys of bow hunting, love it.
Pappy:
Ya we use butcher paper also Beadman, Miss Joanie wraps it very nice and have no problem if I have some left over for a year or 2. Ate some last night from 14, it was just fine. :) Sometimes it don't get brought to the front when putting in new meat and have had some 3 or 4 years old found and it was fine also. Pearl it happens, probably missed 20 or 30 over the years at less than 10 yards. ??? Still I love that shot. :)
