Re: what do you do with your harvest
I always process my own. It usually takes me about a week to do one, working on a quarter a night after I get off work. After skinning, as I cut the quarters off I'll debone them and put them in a cooler of ice water. I'll change the water every evening and add more ice. Doing this soaks a lot of th...

Re: Piebald Mount
That's a nice one for sure! I shot a piebald 6 pt several years ago with a muzzleloader. I wanted to get a full body mount done of it, but at the time there was no way that I could have afforded it. I had the hide tanned, the legs made into gun/bow racks, mounted the antlers on a plaque, and hung an...

Re: O/T Gas Attack at Home Depot
Deer meat gives me some pretty bad gas. Friday night I fried up a bunch of backstrap and then Saturday the wife made some stew in the crock pot with about 4 lbs of deer roasts. Combine both nights with some deer jerky I made recently and yesterday was not a pleasant experience around the Big58cal ho...

Re: spot remover
I call them "fork-tender" deer. Several years ago I shot a big momma doe and her doe fawn to help a guy thin some of the does on his property. When my buddy and I were processing the meat, I made the comment that those 2 deer were going to make quite a bit of meat. My buddy laughed and sa...

Re: 2015 Buck
Thanks folks! I'm still debating on having him mounted. I may have him mounted with a doe nuzzling him or something. If I do get him mounted, it's going to be something unusual. :wink: Finally got everything done last night as far as processing the meat. I put the deboned meat in a cooler of ice wat...

Re: 2015 Buck
Thanks folks! :D He's made a bunch of good meat. Now I've got to start smacking some does and turkeys. Got 3 doe tags and 4 turkey tags that I need to fill, not to mention the boy has 2 deer tags and 4 turkey tags. :D How did the leg look? His leg was fine. Not broken and never had been. In the firs...

2015 Buck
A little late, but I was able to fill my buck tag last weekend, 9/12/15. He wasn't the buck I thought he was when I shot, but I'm still happy with him. He was young, only 2.5 year old. He would have made a good one next year, that's the only bad thing about it. I had gotten pictures last December of...

Re: OT where is your Excalibur sticker
I did have 2 on the back window of my GMC Canyon when I hit some ice and totaled it in Jan. '14. :( Got a Ram 1500 now and haven't had a chance to put one on it yet. All I've got is an NRA sticker on one side and the Gadsden flag on the other side. I think I've got 1 more Excalibur sticker running a...

Congrats! You guys are stacking them up! I've still got 11 days before our season comes in. Can you tell I'm counting the days?
