Butchering my own deer takes a day of hunting away from me . I almost always process the deer the day after I hang it up . So , it's skin , cut , grind and vacuum seal in one day

I purchased the photoshare unit from the Sportsman's Guide . My member price was 35.97 but the shipping charges jacked up the price ($9.49) plus $.99 insurance . I had a $10 coupon so my final cost was $36.45 . IT had a unique battery that is rechargable . You can tak it in the woods and check out the SD cards from your Trail Cam . That's why I bought it . It also hooks up to your TV or computer . It's 9" X 5 1/4" X 7/8" .

The biggest problem I have butchering deer is being able to grab hold and cut off the "silver skin" . I have arthritis in my fingers and one of my fingers locks up quite often . Other than that , no problem .

Make a fake scrape . Rake leaves , debreis so you leave a 3' bare circle in a spot where you can hang the bag overhead . You want to simulate it looking like a scrape .

Welcome to Hunting NY Jim ..........

What gauge ?

I bought a pair of Itasca 400 gram knee high boots at Gander Mt a couple months ago . They are reasonably comfortable . I got them because they aren't tight at the ankle or leg . They have slots in the sides so I can grab them with my arthritic hands . I had previously owned a pair of Guide Gear boots that I got from Dick's . They cracked from top to bottom in the front and back . Only had them for 3 years .

"I think it should be up to the parent as to when the child is ready" ?????????????? I don't think so . There are a lot of stupid parents out there .

The shot bags and kitty litter cost me a total of about $2 ..........

Thanks , that's what I ended up doing .

Looking good Hoyt !

Well I got the stand up today . I couldn't put it where I had planned as the fenceline was on the wrong side of the tree and if might have caused a riff with my sister in law's neighbor so I found another spot Check out a couple other stands I have there and did some trimming . On the way back from the stand I had just put up , I spotted a couple deer . I approached them slow on the ATV and got within 40 yards , stopped and took a couple pics .They were fawns and bolted when I started up again .

Awesome pics Dave !

Similar to SlowHand's I cook up 3 - 4 pounds of ground venison . While I am cooking the venison , I open a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes and another of crushed maters and dump them in the crock pot . I dump in 3 cans of chili beans and a green pepper cut up quite small . When the ingredients in the crock pot get warm , I pour in a package of McCormick hot chili mix . After the meat is cooked , I drain it and mix in a pack of McCormick regular chili mix and stir well . I then pour the meat into the crock pot , mix it up and leave it on high for a couple hours . When Football season rolls around , I get things ready on a Saturday night . I don't add the meat to the other ingredients . I put the crock pot with the heated ingredients in the fridge and do the same with the burger . On Sunday am , I plug in the Crock pot , pour the meat in , set it on low before we leave for church . I may turn up the heat when we get home and by the time the game starts at 1 pm , it's more than ready . The Italian bread goes real well with chili . I use to have season tickets at the Ralpf and the chili was always a hit when we tailgated

Nice ....... but I don't see any GPS coordinates ! :

I have seen less that 1/2 dozen in my lifetime .

I buy the Archery & ML tags so I am covered .......

I am heading down to Geneseo tomorrow to put up another ladder stand . Gotta get it done before the afternoon rain . It will give me a chance to use the ATV ......

Well , Git 'r done !

Another site suggestion would be HUNTING GEAR . Much of this gets inter-mixed with various forums and gets lost in the process . Just a suggestion .

Posting your property doesn't mean anything to a lot of people . If you don't hang the posted signs high enough , some violaters will tear them down . As a hunter and someone who supports hunting I wouldn't want someone hunting in my back yard .

Yupper . That little metal clip (ultra nock) made a Ka-zing sound when I released the string . The string loop makes a very light pfffffffffttttt ! No comparison ! : Now that I have hearing aids , I can tell the difference between the ka-zing and a pffffffffftttt with no problem .

Since there is no Forum for Politics , anything of that nature gets tossed in with everything else . Some members don't care to read political posts and could avoid doing so by not going into that forum . Just a thought ..........

How about a "Political Forum" ..................

Welcome to Hunting NY and congrats for getting a youngster involved in hunting .
