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!

Deer fridge is empty and ready for another deer.

For this batch I added a pound of 80/20 to 2lbs of venison. Lightly salted the outside and grilled to 130. I usually like a more venison-heavy ratio, but these were nice and juicy plus wife and son loved them. 4 year old princess got a mini venison steak since she’s the only weirdo kid who doesn’t like hamburgers (or pizza!?!)

Bambi burgers! Well technically Bambi’s mom.
-
That's still pretty much the extent of my hunting knowledge.
-
2 fawns then a lone doe wandered through. No bucks trailing them. I raked the trails on Sunday, so at least it was quiet getting in.

Happy November! In for a quick scouting/buck-only sit before work.
-
We did see some neighborhood deer!
-
Happy Halloween!!! The kids scored some good loot tonight!

Top 4 steaks got cubed, marinated and grilled for tonight. Bottom right got cut into steaks. Center pile was ground and mixed with 80/20 for burgers this week. The rest, good call.

At the neighbors for the Bills game… why wouldn’t I bring some grilled venison.
