    Butchering your own deer?

    in Deer Hunting

    Hahah, nice.  That's like my uncle, he is a work horse.  Retired but always has 10 side projects going on at once.  That's great that your soaking it all up to pass on!  I'd like to learn as much as possible so I can pass it on to my kids (once I have one :) )

    Neat story.  That's a nice sized buck! Hopefully he knocked up a few of those does before your uncle got him :)  I am so excited to check out the trail cam pics in late sept / early oct! I hope we have a few nice sized bucks on the property.  This will be my brothers first year hunting deer, and I'd love for him to get something.  All this hunting talk has me thinking about hunting makes me feel like the season starts next week.

    Thats awesome that you have that kind of experience around to do that. I'm going to be watching a few video's and seeing if any of the guys know how, I am pretty sure my uncle used to do it back in the day when they had the farm.  I might have to take you up on that offer one day though!  My brother would like to learn as well, so it would be great as we are planning on doing a bunch of hunting.  I'd like to invest in a nice freezer as well for the garage.

    Since we are planning on having a cabin done on the property, we are considering Butchering our own deer.  I saw there are a bunch of articles, you tube videos, and other resources for learning.  I wish I knew someone that did their own to learn in person.

    Does anyone here do their own?  If so any tips? Is it hard?

    Thats a great question. I don't know the property where I am enough to comment, as I havn't even had a hunting season there yet.  But the neighbor said there are a lot of yotes in the area.  He hears them howling all night long...  He is not a hunter, but he says there are tons of deer around.  We shall see...

    Tree stands

    Never was a fan of the ladder stands due to the lack of room, but that molded stand, that looks sick. I was gonna ask you about that when I saw those trail cam pics.  My old man has plans for a stand like that but treated wood. 

    I found some pics of my stand on my uncles property... I love it, its huge, pretty safe.  I have two sets of railings, so its save to sit and lean back on the tree where you see my gun.  Two people could be up there comfortably.  We re-built it one time, as you can see the old platform below the existing one.  Its about 25 feet high.  I am going to find a nice set of three tree's on my property to do something similar, but not as high.  And since its my own place, it will be done a lot nicer and cleaner.  I also bought a burlap type blind material to attach to the sides from cabelas last week with those steps I bought.
