Two big does came out of the edge of the woods at 4:55
If there was snow on the ground I would have shot …
Probably should have but …
100 yard shot with my .243…
Hope I see them again ..
I’m thinking it may help the deer come over to my clover/grass…they would be more hidden because I have a 125ft wide by 550ft long patch of thicket (west)and trees making my plot secluded .
Then there are 100 acres of woods ( east)
unless they keep just coming out at night
Humm well I always take mine to the butcher same day I kill it ..
He skins and hangs it in the cooler for a day or so..
The inner loins i always just put a little olive oil, salt and pepper and cook med rare!
They are always very very tender cut with a fork !
Well couple reasons , there isn’t a big enough tree where I wanted to sit first off ..
Second I don’t have a stand I can put up right now but I do have a hub blind .
No that north side field ( top of the screen) is new seeded hay field , basically mud right now
South side field is uncut corn , the field I’m in is weeds/uncut hay / goldenrod
So the field to the north is a hay field , newly seeded , the field to the south is uncut corn..
The property line to the west ( left side of the screen ) has a steep bank and a creek thru it
So a buddy just closed on a pc he bought ..
I have two years before he builds on it.
I had a spot picked out to put up my blind ..
So if I set it up in the morning , how long till the deer won’t be spooked ?
