Helped track a small buck tonight. Hunter had minimal blood and thought he hit high, so he called for help. Me and my neighbor helped him track. Shot was a little high but still got both lungs. We found him within 100 yards. I was rewarded with the heart and enough backstrap trimmings for a sandwich tomorrow. Pumped to get out there in the AM, forecast says 27 degrees.

That is not historically accurate

Not mine… but I did pass on this one a few times!

One antlered buck taken yesterday… his skull shows weird calcified bone growth above his eye and a fractured skull where he lost his antler. Always amazing how tough they are.

This little guy hung out for a while.

I’m exhausted but what a day of hunting without actually shooting anything. Took a rookie bowhunter hunting in the morning and he made a great shot on a poor man’s spike. Then as soon as I finished taking care of his deer I get a text from a buddy that he hit a good buck. Helped him track and luckily he didn’t go far. It was a nice broken off 8 point. Got him all cut up and in coolers now I’m relaxing. No PM hunt tonight, back at it in the morning.

Screw it. Heading out for a quick hunt.

Not sure how old mine is… certainly not from the 50s. I won’t complain about it tho, it’s great having a dependable third freezer solely for venison.

Venison Reuben’s and a Guinness. Plus hash with the leftovers. Good way to start a 3 day weekend.

Yum Yea... brined for 10 days in a mixture of Tender Quick (1 tbsp/lb), brown sugar and pickling spice.

Good luck out there everyone! I’m stuck at work for a long day so I won’t be hunting until tomorrow AM. But on a good note… venison Reubens for dinner tonight!!

@mlammerhirt is projected to join the exclusive club of the teams that beat me!

Thanks, there was a lot more trimming needed for this one (7 days in the deer fridge) vs the other side. I think 3-4 days is the sweet spot. This meat sure looked delicious tho!
