seasprite Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 Well fellas I getting ready for this years hunt <thumbsup> it opens on the 15th of Nov. Took a game camera out to my stand along with 40 lbs of corn to get the deer to stop and say hi to the camera so I could get an idea of what roaming the woods. I did get some deer pics but I didn't expect a racoon family reunion with me supplying the dinner. ??? But I did end up getting some deer pics but not as much as last year due to bluetongue from the drought we had last year. Talked to one of conservation officers that work at the range I go to and he said as much as 20% of the herd was lost because of this :'( Our quota was cut this year because of this and I will only be allowed to harvest one buck and one doe this year. Seeing what the camera is getting its going to be hard to fill both tags, hardly any deer crossing the camera unlike last year.
sketch Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 Well atleast you have some action! Go get em!! Deer in my area are taking to the city for refuge here's two 3 points playn behind my job I've never seen nor heard horns locked up pretty cool but I see them getting hit by a car rather than harvested.
seasprite Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Posted November 3, 2014 Now thats action there, would love to see a couple of bucks go at it. You going out sketch?
sketch Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 I just duck it if I had to eat a whole deer whew! I would love to go hunt big game one day but not ethical if I can't eat the whole thing! Plus this is cheeting! I have an aple tree!!

Plus this is cheeting! image.jpg I have an aple tree!! Vac seal it keeps along time plus it's better for you than beef you'll figure out how to eat it all :)
seasprite Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Posted November 3, 2014 Vac seal it keeps along time plus it's better for you than beef you'll figure out how to eat it all :) I go to a processor that does this and it takes me about 1 year to go through one whole deer and thats stretching it out. The summer sausage runs out first about 3-4 months. Then the burger 6 months and the steaks I kinda milk out a little longer. 2 deer would be a max for me in a year. Just me and my son eat venison.
shepp Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 I've converted my Gf onto venison she likes it she knows what it is, we just don't talk about it, I'm not huge on summer sausage but this bear sausage I got is killer so are the snack sticks. One deer normally last me and her a year
Griz Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 They've been fairly thick in Jefferson county. The new Hwy 21, 4-lane, is blood alley. New carcass almost every day. I've seen more on my property this year than the the past 4 combined. Good luck on your hunt!
98Z5V Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 I just duck it if I had to eat a whole deer whew! I would love to go hunt big game one day but not ethical if I can't eat the whole thing! It's just like eating an elephant. How do you eat a whole elephant? One bite at a time. <thumbsup>
sketch Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 How do you eat a frog ... Throw one leg over each ear!
unforgiven Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 How do you eat Kathy rotten crotch,you don't you look for her sister.
seasprite Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Posted November 16, 2014 This is the look of defeat :angry: Sat up in the stand from 6 am to 11: 00 am and the only thing I saw was the left ass cheek and white tail of a deer that crossed the creek about 60 yards in front of me but the brush kept me from seeing weather it was a buck or a doe. Walked the property to see if would spook up something and my hunting partner scored a small doe then we broke for lunch. Got back in the stand at 1:00 pm and stayed till had to pee so bad my teeth were floating so I called it day a little past 4:00. What sucks is this was my only chance to get out this year. oh well I'll get em next year.
seasprite Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) This beers for you bro! Next year! :happydrunks: Thanks bro, I'm hoping to find another way to get out again. But right now Its not looking to good. Edited November 17, 2014 by seasprite
