Dropped this lone male after sneaking into a stand downwind of it. .20 cal 41 gr Tipped Hammer Hunter's did the job. SJC

2.5 years old and going on a week now.... Time for a vet check up. Could be as simple as a strained muscle but why worry about it might be.

She has a pretty nice rack, kind of creepy!

I would

Yes, I would invite them to log back on and join in on the conversation, if they can be civilized.

Back legs. Thing is this morning she acted fine. Got up stretched, ran outside came back in all happy. Still need a vet check I think?

Vet apt

So I was recommended to Main Street Auto in Avoca. What a nice place and friendly service. Dropped car off day before appointment and they had it done same day. Turned out a wire harness had a bad wire in it. It was to the solenoid to the Evap system. $160 bucks and I'm a happy man. They get my service in the future, great place and people.

Par for the course!! They are some real beauties! Al

I wrote down some email addresses in case burmjohn fires me .

We call those deer "hillside veal". You cannot beat the flavor and the texture. It is a true delicacy. And yes, there is no better liver than from hillside veal.

That mini-spike’s liver is very tasty and it’s all I can do to not go get the rest microwaved and have an early lunch right now. I’m not sure how my older buck’s from 12/17/24 will be. I cut that one in half and each half filled a quart sized freezer bag to capacity. That’s probably close to (6) meals worth. I hadn’t been saving them from older deer due to toughness, but that one died quick, and I aged it for a week prior to freezing. I’m hoping it will be tender. He also had an extra big heart. Good thing there, because I’ve only got two deer hearts in the freezer from last year for my wife to pickle for me this Valentine’s Day (that’s been our tradition for many years), so I’m going to have to get her to do a beef tongue or two along with them. My September doe’s heart was about average sized. I really love that stuff pickled. The September doe’s liver was reasonably tender, after a week in the fridge, but not quite as tasty as that from the December mini-spike buck. I think I still have half of her liver in the freezer. I’m guessing that she was also about 3-1/2 years old. Just about (4) meals worth from her liver as the half’s didn’t fill the quart bags to capacity.

My Buddy and I got a few productive hours in before the rain came down. Lone injured male I called in after hearing it barking during set up of our first stand of the night. 143 yards. SJC
