Deer Hunting Notes for File 2020
Early antlerless - MEA. Yearling at new farm. Had to work pretty hard to net 20 lbs; almost zero meat waste. Exceedingly tender. |
November rolled out pretty well. Some bucks harvested by our party; lot of bloody clothing, dragging down gullies and building gut piles. |
Who knew a guy could shoot two one-antlered bucks in the span of seven years. |
Tracked a friend's deer; found this on the blood trail. |
Buddy shot this big one. |
In the orchard at new farm; spent a lot of time watching deer at this trail intersection. |
The six pointer (three pointer) yielded just over 40 lbs. |
Tend to cut the roast pieces into steaks after defrosting. Rub with Lawry's, salt, pepper, olive oil; set in fridge for a few days; then grill. 4-5 minutes first side; 3 minutes on the flip. |
Have dragged quite a few deer down this gully over time; this one was the monster shot by friend. |
Squeezed a lot of these out of my arms and hands. Broke-off bramble thorns. |
Getting good vibe for next year - I think it'll be the season for both my sons to get deer. Will continue to work and study this new farm; was fun watching them frequent this pond. |
