Congrats on the doe Clint.  Looks like that will be some really good meat.

If you make it to the Classic next year you can find out for yourself  ;)

I had a doe run in on me Sunday and stop broadside at 20 yards, she is in the freezer.

Bad picture as I threw my back out dragging her(getting old) so I took a quick snapshot before I took her to the processor.

 I killed her with a .54 cal Lancaster Beck style flintlock rifle I built about 4 years ago.

Good for you Eric! Nothing better than some venison for the freezer.

Good job Guys ! Our Rifle season starts Tuesday - I'll be carrying My trusty Browning Gold slug gun (Slug only part of the State) - sure would be nice to put one in The freezer - Bob.

Today was deer parts day.  I picked up some legs from a local processor for the sinew and I cooked mine and a buddy's deer skulls.

Hey Clint - Do You save the Hoofs and Dew Claws ? Boiled and slipped off the bone, then dried - they make pretty cool door danglers, like a wind chime every time You open/close the door. Made a few Years ago. Bob

I would be happy to have some hooves! We use them for ceremonial regalia!

Am in Vegas for Thanksgiving. Shot firearms for the first time. Two AR-15 type rifles, one belt-fed, another magazine fed. 5.56 has nice pushy recoil, more than I expected. Surprisingly it seems like the AKM in 7.62x39 didn't have much more recoil..
Looking forward to go back home and work in some bows in a few months..
Gonna cook some sinew glue to fix my hornbow, hopefully.
Would love to get a Savage in .308, though a single shot breechloading black powder rifle (ie remington rolling block, springfield trapdoor or sharps type rifle) would be great too. Though I probably wouldn't want to put lead on my game if I ever go hunting. But it's not like I have any choice legally in California anymore  :\

Got up this morning and the sun was out. At least I think it was the sun, big round yellow thing, hard to look at? It's been a while ;). Anyway I thought I would go looking for some natural crooks. Thought I'd struck out on crooks but I found the tallest, straightest Pacific Crabapple I've seen. I got two 6'6" staves and there may still be one hanging in the rest of the tree. It was straight with only a half dozen branches in about 20'. Then while I was packing them out I found a nice Ocean Spray with a crook at the bottom. Bonus!!

Split the biggest one. 3" dia at the handle. Started the split in the middle because Crab can be twisty. Surprise, surprise, Crab doesn't split much straighter than this. Now to get the bark off without messing up the nice Crab wood
