Deer hunting weather

[gregintenn]

Are we ever going to get any? 

Sure, I could find a deer. Probably could shoot a deer. But then what? I don’t have a walk in cooler. I’m not butchering one covered in flies. It was summertime, now it’s hurricane season. Maybe it’ll improve next week.

Supposed to be really windy too. I guess I just want perfection.

Well, this is the South. We had our week of Fall, followed by the summer’s encore. Now cold and rain. 

[gregintenn]

The coming week looks promising.

I hunted yesterday afternoon till dark. It felt a lot colder than the mid 30s that it was. Watched a doe feed for 45 minutes but no bucks showed up.

I all most got a doe Friday evening, in the work van, she came out and stood in the middle of the road. Thank goodness I was on the road I live on and going slow and LOOKING for deer. She has been around all fall with 3 baby's. All of them were in the back yard this afternoon

Wife nearly got a deer with her new car this morning. That would have been expensive meat.

But tender

You are correct, sir. I only saw the good side of his rack, and he was chasing a doe, so I didn’t have time for judging; just shooting. Big buck; ugly rack. Weather was perfect. I’ll take it!

Bet he still tastes good.

Was out at Boxwell with the scouts this weekend.  The deer were everywhere.

So we’re the turkeys.  Imagine my surprise when I tossed a bag of trash in a construction dumpster and about 15 turkeys flew out

Been a long time since I was there.

Today was a good day for butchering. Tomorrow looks promising for deer hunting again, as does the rest of the week. Good luck everybody!

Hopeful to get done with Vanderbilt and the wife's test and procedures for the weekend, grandson is itching to get going.

Best wishes for the wife’s health and I hope the young man gets a good deer!

I went yesterday morning and froze out once the wind picked up. Saw one young 7 pointer. I didn’t go this morning because the weather forecast was windy. Should have went. It is calmer than yesterday. I did finally get this one processed today.

I think I’ll wait until Saturday and go with my son.

I bought an old WWII Jeep from them back in the 70's. Even had a bullet hole in the passenger's side.

[Snaveba]

Still have the Jeep?

That’s cool.  Who knows what’s squirreled away out there?
